DEMOCRATIC ELECTORS SEEM TO
HAVE A MAJORITY In SOUTH
DAKOTA.

REPUBLICANS CALMLY CONFIDENT.
Their Figures Show They Have

Special to the Globe.
PIERRE, S. D., Nov. 10.-Nothing
but the official count will show positive
ly who is elected to the state offices in
South Dakota, but from the best in
formation obtainable from all sources
here today, the indications are that the
Bryan electors will have a majority in
the neighborhood Of 100. The whole
Republican state ticket with the pos
sible exception of the governor. will be
elected by small majorities. It is unfor
tunate that the state is so close, as
both sides will claim fraud on the part
of the other to secure the result, and.
as there are always questionable votes
cast at every election, each side will
accuse the other of profiting thereby.
This will breed bitterness which would
have been avoided if either side had
scored a decisive victory.
The state canvassing board does not
meet until the Tuesday following the
fourth Monday after the day of cleo
ton, which, this year, is Dec. 3, and if
the returns by counties are not definite
enough to settle the question before
that date, there will be a great deal of
anxiety in this state for the next
month. The question of who is really
elected is so close that the small vote
in the unorganized counties may turn
the scale completely.
The close election will breed num-
berlesS contests, if close elections in
the past are to be taken as an indi-
cation, and the courts are likely to
have plenty Of work to do on election
cases. These contests may not be con-
fined to minor offices alone, but may
involve state offices, but it is probable
that the candidates on the state ticket
will accept the verdict, whatever it may
be.
Special to the Globe.
REDFIELD, S. D., Nov. 10.-The
count of the canvassing board today
showed 2.193 votes cast. Mckinley cleo
tors 1,132; Bryan electors LOCI. This
shows a difference of 1l3 votes less,
as compared with vote Of 1892 The
county Republican ticket elected by ma
jorities ranging from "a for county
superintendent to 141 for clerk Of

and Secretary Persons, of the Republi-

South Dakota last night to compare
figures they have been gathering
throughout the state concerning the
political situation there.
1t was agreed that the Republicans
had carried the national, state, con-
gressional and legislative tickets. So
careful was the canvass made and so
nearly did the figures agree, that tn ere
is no room tC doubt the correctness OF

81 suppose I have sold millions of
cigarettes in my ife," remarked a
tobacconist, s'and I often wonder if
my doing so will be placed against
my credit in the next world. 1t is
the one part of my business that I
positively loathe. I really think that
at the rate cigarettes are now being
consumed-and the rate is steadily
increasing-the effect will be decid
edly apparent in the next generation
of mankind. The cigarette is form
of slow poison which, while it may
not result in death must necessarily
leave its effects upon the human sys-

during the warm weather I have Of

in the case where cigarettes are kept
they will die in less that five minutes.
The very atmosphere seems to poison
them. On the other hand, I have
placed flies in a cigar case, just out
of curiosity, and they show net the
slightest evidence Of discomfort.

Yale College Attacked.
A Methodist Minister Says Its Grad
yates Are Infdels.

Baltimore, April 2.-The Rev. A.
E. War6eld, OF Lynchburg, Va,
created stir in the Maryland Meth
odist Protestant conference today by
attempting to call the Rev. DR.. F. L.
Tagg to account for an seditorial at
tack upon Yale College, whi~l was
printed in the Methodist Protestant,
of which DR.. Tags is editor. The
editorial is as follows:
"Young men who go to Yale come
away ecclesiastical iconoclasts before
whom nothing is sacred, and they are
not satisfied to think and settle their
faith; they are ready for war, and
they want to carry it into the churches
where they are pastors and tear
down what they will never live long
enough to rebuild"
The Rev. AIr. Warfeld said he was
Yale man and wanted this attack ex-
planned, but the moderator ruled him
out of order and thus cut off what
promised toprove an exciting episode.

the huorescent theory was the cDly

no need for the slow process OF de-

could be ascertained. He, therefore,

70 Wreck the Capitol.
An Effort to Destroy Mississippi's
State House.

Jackson, Miss, April 2.-An at
tempt was made last night to wreck
the State capitol. At 10 o'clock
while Secretary of State Power was
engaged in his Office at the capitol,
he heard noice outside. Going to
the window he saw several men dig
ging at the walls. His appearance
frightened away the men and en- in
7estigation showed that two pieces
of stone about two feet square had
been removed from the wall. Had
the work gone on little longer a
section of the wall about four by
twenty feet would have faller, thus
wrecking the whole building. Siren
uous efforts were made during the
recent session of the Legislature to
provide for new building, but moth
ing was done in the matter, and it is
thought some miscrcaEts took this
means of securing immediate action.

Democrats, Stand Firm.
Senator Watson's Counsel to tht
People Of the State.

Columbia Register.
I have never written an article for
publication. I feel that it would be
criminal now to remain silent
when the very existence OF the
Democratic party in South Caro-
lima is threatened. I am Democrat
and I intend to be one to the
end of the chapter. I allied myself
to the Reform party because it was
Democratic. When occasion seemed
to demand it, I hit some hard icks
for Reform. I shall feel it my duty
to strike with all my might all enc
mics of the party whoever they may
be. Let those who do not believe IN
majority rule leave the party and
form such alliances as they choose.
But let all Democrats stand firm. l
shall stick to the party of my faith,
ers, and if she goes down I shall go
with her. Let US all fight for our
rights in the party.
Senator Tllman has made great
mistake in advising our people to
leave the party. We owe her much
and we must stand by her to the end.
Must we leave the only party that
has helped US in the past if we can
not control it in every particular to
daye It is of the utmost Importance
that our white people stand firmly TO-
eether. II Senator Tillman's advice
is followed there will be q perma-
nent division of our white people and
ultimately an appeal to the negro
It is criminal to bring about such
condition.
Senator Tillman says 'our one
overpowering and oyermastering is
sue in State affairs has been white
supremacy, and this under the con-
ditions existing before the new Con
stitution was adopted made revolt
against the white majority nothing
less than crime" And, I say, it is
no less a crime today. He may call
us 'scowards and sycophants and
treacherous leaders now masquerad-
ing as Democrats" but.we will fight
for the good old party against all her
enemies-the only party in which
our rights are assured.
The Piedmont Headlight says
truly "the word Democrat" in the
South means more than any. political
movement. It means the rule Of the
white majority.
In conclusion lel me say again to
every true Democrat in South Caro-
lima, stand firm. Be true to the
party of your fathers. Fight all her
enemies. r. B. WATsoN.

ties. More than 1900 chemicals and
chemical compounds were expert
mented with before the one desired
was found. It was a compound
which had been made for NJ. Edi-
son by his chemists six years ago,
and had been forgotten.
It is we'll known that the intensity
of the effect of the X rays varies
with the square of the distance, go
that the compound that would prove
satisfactory at a long distance from
the tube must be of great sensitive
ness. To the great delight Of Mr.
Edison this new substance was found
to be six times as sensitive, both as
to distance and intensity, as the
Bariun platina cyanide, which up to
this time, has been used.
I saw Dir. Edison last evening, and
he said the new substance was not
expensive, but was difficult to make.
He had used all he had on hand IN
experiments he made on Saturday.
The results attained were surprising.
a box was made with a screen Of the
fuorescent compound on one side,
and on the other peep hole for the
eye. Placing this before the eye OF
the observer, it seemed that there
was to limit to the penetrative power
of the X rays. The bones Of the hand
were distinctly seen through a two
| inch plank, then through four inches,
| then six inches, and finally eight
inches of solid wood.
Mr.. Edisun said to me: II call this
new arrangement the 'auroscope.' l
don't know whether there is such a
| word-if not, I will make it. 1 can
| fix the Horoscope to that you can put
it on like mask over the face and
then look through any object that is
placed between you and the tube. In
| fact, you can move around with it.
The effect is instantaneous and there
is no more waiting for long expo
sure, and then for the development
of the plate, for the plate and plate
holder are done away with entirely,
and the observer looks directly at
the object he wishes to see. just
think what gain this will be. A
surgeon can put on one of these
horoscopes and look right through a
mans hand or arm or leg, or for that
matter, through his body, and see
what the conditions that be will have
to encounter.
