McKinley's apparent plurality, and fol
this reason he will await the official
count, refusing in the meantime to con-
cede the state. The 81 counties heard
from at 8 o'clock show democratic losses

mar Gowdy claims the state for McKin-
ley by at least $4,000. 1t is safe to say
that McKinley's plurality in Indiana will
not be less than $1,000, nor more than
$1,000.

Moose In New Brunswick.

The future Of the moose, oldest and
noblest of the game animals on this
continent, is a matter that has interested
q good many people. Mr.. Braithwaite,
who has lived among these animals all
his life, says there is no danger of their
diminution in New Brunswick. They
shed their antlers before the snow be-
comes deep in winter, and the sports
man who endeavors to carry away a
hornless moose is always roughly dealt
with by the magistrates down in the
settlements. The only relentless enemy
Of the moose is the lumberman, who in
the depth Of winter can mako good use
Of the meat. But in the region which is
the subject of this article there is little
lumber, and so there are few lumber
men. The degenerate Indians of the vii
lagos seldom trouble themselves to hunt,
and the few moose killed by hunters are
as nothing compared with the young
ones destroyed by the bears. Bruin gets
trapped because his coat will average
$40 to his captor. There are no wolves
in this Wilderness, 81 the prospects for
tho moose are getting better instead Of
worse. And if there are thousands Of
moose, there are tens of thousands of
caribou. Frederick Irland in Serb
ner'a

The robin hops along in the furrow
and picks up worms AS the farmer
plows, which it cats itself or carries to
its nest as food for the young robins.
The robin prefers smooth coated worms,
such as the common earthworm, but if
such food is scarce it does not disdain
the fuzzy caterpillar. 1t is an evil day
for the caterpillar when a robin strikes
it. The robin picks it up and shakes it
and shakes it until it shakes the spines
out Of 1.-THE fur, as the children call
the caterpillar's fuzzy coating-leaving
the caterpillar bare in patches ard
sometimes all wei and shaken all out
Of shape. Then the robin eats it or car
ries it off to feed it's young.-New York

The Water Works Have Commenced Pro-
ceedinss Against the City.
AS a result OF the action OF the council
in refusing to pay the hydrans rental
due the Great Falls Water Works on
Nov. l, that oompan vi lnesday COM
menced mandamus proceedings to CON-
pei the payment of the amount due.
The writ is made returnable on the 10th
day of November, and the mayor has
called a special meeting OF the council for
next Friday evening to take euch action
as may be necessary. A member of the
council states that the council will de.
fend the case on the ground that the
city has exceeded it's ability to pay, and
that City Attorney Stephenson will be
assisted in the case by A. J. Shores,
Ransom Cooper or other legal talent. 1t
bring to final publication the
Of the company's contract and
that the matter will be pushed to a
speedy settlement in the courts. The
council is not altogether a unit on the
question Of the wisdom of bringing into
question the solvency OF the city at this
time, and some OF them fear that the
action may have a detrimental effect on
the credit Of the city, inasmuch as the
city has guaranteed the interest on the
water bonds to the extent of the
hydrant rental. Besides this, the
council by formal resolution agreed
to postpone the discussion of
the water question till July, 1897, and
several of the members wished to carry
out in good faith the spirit of this agree
ment. The majority, however, declare
that as the city has exceeded it's legal
limit Of indebtedness, they have no op.
ton but to decline to issue warrants in
excess Of the cash in the water fund,
and this will be the main defense to the
suit. It is an unfortunate condition of
affairs which may we'll prove injurious
to both parties to the suit, and it is to
be hoped that the litigation now COM
menced may be pushed to a speedy ter
nination.

ciated Press dispatches say that Chair
man Jones has issued the following:
"We cannot lose; the republicans are
perpetrating frauds. Indiana is safe for
Bryan. Iowa's later returns are our
way. Our people say Kentucky is all
right. California and Oregon are for
Bryan. I have no fear of West Vir-
ginia, and I do not concede McKinley's
election"
Mr.. Jones' statement is not borne out
by the returns received up to this hour.
Jones also says advices up to 7 p, ~. in
dictate that Bryan has carried Kentucky,
Indiana and Michigan.

that would work his tail to the bone for

You get a gallon of molasses and a long

the rings around him. You can't train
a young alligator. That's funny. ain't

O long necked bottle, filled it with mo-

where an alligator has no teeth. I tilted
the bottle up. Jim tasted the molasses
and began wagging his tail. He broke
Baptiste's leg, but that was an acct

from the minute he tasted the molasses.
I taught him a lot Of pretty tricks

the southern states, with 1876 vctee,
and the states west OF the Missouri,
with 81, q total of 2l7, l have hoped
that we would carry Indiana, Michi-
gan End Minnesota. | believe we have
carried every southern state, except
Maryland, and that we have carried
all the western states heretofore
counted Cd, which leaves us. not count
ing Delaware, 200 votes.
One vote we certainly have in Della
ware, and probably three, But, count
ing only one vote, it leaves US necessary
to a choice IA votes. Either Michigan
or Indiana would give US these ii votes.
Reports from both these states ale en-
couragIng and lead US to believe that
while both states are close, we have the
better chance to win each and that we
may probably carry both. There can be
scarcely a doubt of u getting Indiana.
Under these circumstances it seems that
we are entirely justified in claiming the
election of Bryan, which | do,
and / believe that the temper
of the people is such that they
will not allow their choice to be de-
feated by tricks and frauds. The state
ments made in the city papers that l
have given up the contest and admitted
Bryan is defeated indicate a deliberate
purpose on the part Of the papers, as
we'll as the republican managers to
create false impressions 1 have not for
a moment acquiesced in his, McKinley'e,
election and will not until there is a
material change from existing condi-

Old Jokes That Rise Again.

There are jokes that are told about
the polls on election day, and are for.
gotten until on a subsequent polling day
they rise, like the industrious phoenix,
from thoir ashes. That Of Sam Davis
retort in his campaign for the legisla-
ture in IA, is one of these periodic yarns.
John Z. Davis, Sam Davis opponent,
was a member Of the grange, which
iourished in those days. He had a
dramatic way of raising his hands and
showing the audiences the calloused
palms in proof of his manual industry.
This hipped Sam Davis, who was an at
torney and couldn't drive a straight fur
row to save his life. Sam puzzled long
as how to Offset that "corn story" but
it WAS not until the evening before the
election that he hit upon an expedient.
They wore at a meeting held for the
purpose of a joint discussion. John
Davis exhibited his r%oughened palms as
usual as an effective peroration and took
his seat. Sam Davis stroke to the front
of the platform. "John Davis may
show his hands as much as he chooses"
said he. "But l know where he got
those corns and he knows that I know
it. lie got 'em SHINING catfish down by
the Blackwater on Sunday"
Sam was elected by a majority of -
votes.
Colonel Adams waxed reminiscent at
the headquarters of the state democratic
committee.
"Do you know what's the worst thing
that ever happened to Us on election
day." he asked.
"Defeat?" suggested someone.
"Not on your life" said the colonel.
1--WE can survive defeat. We can even
rise superior to it. No, it wasn't de-
what was it, then, colonel?"

Down in southern Missouri a man was
