CHICAGO, Nov. 4.-Returns received
by the Associated Press indicate the
election of Mckinley and Hobart, al
though returns are so meager from q
number of doubtful states that this con-
clusion can only be reached by estimates
based on the gains and losses. The best
estimate obtainable indicates that Maine
and Vermont have given majorities
somewhat reduced from the September
elections that New Hampshire gives
about 10000, Massachusetts about l2O,-
900, and Rhode Island and Connecticut
proportionate majorities, all for McKin-
ley. New York is estimated at about
ESQ, 600, and Pennsylvania is likely to
reach the same figure, if not greater.
Maryland has been carried

ceed 1000. The returns from West
Virginia are not sufficient to justify the
claim of either party. Ohio has given
very large Republican plurality and
Kentucky is apparently assured as to
the Mckinley column, although later
returns may not justify this claim.
Tennessee seems to have been carried
for Bryan, Notwithstanding the conf
dent assertions to the contrary of the
Republican managers, and the same is
probably true of North Carolina. Indi-
ana and Michigan, as well as Mime
sofa, indicate heavy Republican gains
and strong probability that they have
gone for Mckinley. Illinois will give

HAND COUNTY.

Tuesdays election in this county
was a corker upon republicans. The
combination OF populists, democrats
and free silver republicans, swept the
platter clean, and elected every man
except one OF course, their wise
men will tell you they knew it would
be SO, but that is all wind. 1t was
expected by leaders that both sides
would elect some men on the county
ticket, but the wave went all one way,
all the doubtful votes were pOpocrat-
ic. and a large number ofrepublicans
remained away from the polls. We
believe out of the 125 voters kept
from voting by the snow storm, over
80 OF them were republican. In Rec
Heights township, six voters remain
ed home four of them were reDubli-
cans. In Spring Hill 4 republicans
and two pops did not vote. In Bur-
dette two republicans did not vote;
Carleton one republican; Gilbert 3
republicans; Park 2 republicans; and
80 OH over the county, as reported

In 1894 the republicans carried

were then 80 democratic votes, which
would leave the republicans 6 behind

the opposition was combined.

Of his head, and cold. graz eyes, peer

Having been Introduced and left alone
with him, l had to say something, so
remarked:
Indian summer Is pretty nearly due

Now Indian summer was not pretty
nearly due. But Il was the only sci
entific thing that popped into my head,
| thought, Of course, that he would pre-
fer the talk on scientific topics.
Indian SUMMER" he asked quizzi-
cally. Il don't know what you mean
sir"
"Oh," said I, little confused by his
manner. Indian summer, you know,
is the warm spell we always have after
the first frost. You know, Indian sum-
mer. Regular thing, don't you know
mo, don't know" said the man Of

used to hear Of this alleged Indian sum-
mer, when was a boy. They still
talk about It in the-in the country dis
tricts, believe. There is no such
thing as Indian summer"
"Oh, but yes" persisted, quite
crushed, brit not convinced, you know
we always have a warm"
Yes, yes" interrupted the man Of
science, with a wave OF his hand, sit
is true that sometimes the weather
warns after 1t first gets cold. That's
perfectly natural. The weather isn't
governed by rules. Why shouldn a
warm wave follow a cold one in Octo-
Der or November as we'll as in any other
month? Don't we have cold waves ir
late May or June? Why, then, donp
you speak of Indian winter at thos,
times?. The phrase, sir, is a relic of
former ignorance"
After a few moments silence made
another attempt.
THE equinoctial will soon be upon
us" l remarked.
THE what?" asked the man of sci
ence.
why. the equinoctial storm, you
know" 1 explained.
Nonsense" he responded, with a
disgusted shrug Of the shoulders.
"Equinoctial rot! There is no such
thing as equinoctial storm. have
heard ignorant persons use the phrase
before, but 1t always vexes me. 1t Is
another relic of bygone ages
But" 1 began, beginning 10 feel
vexed and feeling that there at least
stood on solid ground.
Il know what you are going 20 say"
he put in. Yes, we usually have a
heavy storm about the period of the
equinoxes. But what of 1t? We us
ually have heavy storms before those
periods and after them, too, don't we ?
The equinoxes have nothing to do with
the storms, which arise from wholly
different causes, and may or may not
occur at the same time. Equinoctial
