THE REPUBLICANS WIN
JOSIAH CIRCUIT ELECTED GOVERN
OR OF VERMONT.
The Entire state Ticket Was Car
ried by "a Vote EquaIIing the
Highest Predictions.

White River Junction. VT, Sept. l.
The Green Mountain state declared for
Josiah Grout, republican, of Derby for
governor, today, and for the republican
state ticket entire, by a majority that
equaled the prediction of the most con-
fident of republican managers. Re
turns from the distant towns are slow
in coming in, but the count in all Sec
tions shows substantial republican
gains, indicating that the majority on
the republican state ticket will be
about 5000. This is the largest major
ity ever given for a governor in this
state, the nearest approach to it being
IN 1888, when the majority was 1858.
Henry Powers, the republican con-
gressional candidate in the First dis
trict, and William Groat in the Second,
are both reelected by increased ma
jorities, and the state senate and the
house are in control of the republicans
by the same majority as two years ago
The weather was cool and fair
throughout the state, and brought out
hundreds of republican voters who
had not been to the polls in years
Practically the full republican Vnte
was cast. On the other hand, the lack
of organization in the democratic
ranks was apparent Many democrats
who do not indorse the Chicago plat
form remained away from the polls
while the more dissatisfied ones voted
for the republican ticket.
The ticket elected is as follows:
Governor-Josiah Grout.
Lieutenant Governor-Nelson W.Fisk.
Treasurer-Henry f. Field.
Secretary of State - Chauncey w.
Bronwell.
State Auditor-Frank d. Hale.
Congressman 49, First district, Henry
II. Powers; Second district, William il.
Groat.
At Brattleboro an extremely large
vote was polled no election in years
having created so much interest. Sem
nington reported that not since the
sixties has there been such a large reg
istration as today's vote, and reports
from nearby towns were that the vote
was very large.
In Montpelier nearly the entire vote
was cast early in the day, though the
check sheets showed the republicans
were voting faster than the democrats.
Both parties made a hard fight acre.
and reports from all over the county
showed unusually heavy polling.
st. Johnsbury had 500 votes cast at
noon, against a total of 764 in 1892, due
partly to the fine weather but more
directly 10 a sharp contest between the
A. p. A. and citizens candidates fol
the legislature.
The total vote of Hartford was cX-
pected to be nearly 800 today, against
a total Of 40 four years ago
1t was expected that many towns in
the state would show a vote nearly
double that of four years ago

BIG LAW FIRM is DISSOLVED
Elliott G.. Stevenson No Longer With
Dickinson and Thurber.

Detroit, Mich, Sept. 1.-The dissolution
of the partnership of ex-Secretary Don
NJ. Dickinson, Elliott G. Stevenson, ex-
chairman Of the democratic state central
committee, and Mr.. Thurber, former pri-
vate secretary Of the executive mansion,
the biggest law firm in Michigan,
went into effect today. The dis
solution is result of political
differences, the eX-secret ary being
firm in his gold standard doctrines,
while Mr.. Stevenson, although inclined to
the same point of view, recently compro-
missed his associates by accepting the
craftsmanship of the state central commit
tee and becoming responsible for the Bry-
an campaign in this state. Although he
subsequently reconsidered this action, the
friction it created was not healed, and
Mr.. Stevenson determined to withdraw.
Messrs. Dickinson and Thurber will, it is
understood, continue their business rela-
tOns.

cred by Henry NJ. Edwards, master of
ceremonies. The feature which excited
the most general interest was the singing
of the great tabernacle choir.

UNION PACIFIC TICKETS STOLEN
Overland Lines Decline to Give a S25
Rate to Coast Points.

Chicago. Sept. 1.-The Union Pacific has
issued notice of the theft last Sunday OF a
large bundle of its tickets, which were
stolen from a baggage car, where they
were placed in a valise. The tickets read
over the main line from the Missouri river
to points in Montana and to points on the
lines of the Oregon Railway & Naviga-
ton company. Others of the stolen tick
cts read from the Missouri river points
via Julesburg to points on the Union Pa
cific, Denver & Gulf. The tickets have
all been bulletined, and of course are
worthless for passage, but the road is
fearful that they may be picked up by I'M
wary travellers who are prone to do bus
mess with scalpers.
The transcontinental lines have refused
to make a rate of $25 one way second class
from st. Paul, Minneapolis and Duluth to
the North Pacific points. They have also
declined to make rate of $3.50 on second
class continuous passage tickets to Spo-
kane from the points named above.

woman's Council Meeting.

What all women need, sick, rich or
poor, is training for business, and to
know how to save, invest. handle and
increase money. Something or some
body to tell them, 2 this is the crying
need of many, to show them how not to
fail, how to preserve their own.
1t is astonishing how much business is
falling into the hands of such helpless
persons through the death of husbands
and fathers, and at what great disad-
vantage such persons must be, for the
lack of practical business knowledge nc
meet just these emergencies the National
Business League was organized. 1t is to
this society that the Portland Woman's
Council is indebted for it's idea of having
business topics presented to and discussed
by the women of Portland next Saturday
afternoon the subject of stocks. bonds and
Investments will be presented by Mr..

DIPHTHERlA CURE.
The Board of Trade Speaks Highly of Anti
Toxin.

The State Board of Health is sending
to physicians ciorular letter prepared at
the request of the board by DR.. G. D..
Smith, president, on the use of diphthe-
ria antitoxin. The purpose Of the cirou-
lar letter is to call the attention of the
medical profession. especially. to the
present status of antitoxin. A careful
investigation into the methods of prepar-
ing and using diphtheria anti -toxine was
made by DR.. Smith, last spring, at the
request of the board, and the doctor has
made 1t point to gather, SO far as pos
sible, trustworthy information as to the
results of she use of this prophylaotio and
therapeutic agent
The circular states that, at the present
time, the evidence Of olinioians the world
over is overwhelmingly in favor of the
curative effect of anti-toxine upon diph-
iberia. 1t is not claimed that all cases
are cured by it. Many are complicated
by septic conditions upon which anti
toxine exerts no influence. The results of
secondary septic infection it cannot be
expected to remove. 1t will. however
neutralize the poison of diphtheria and il
administered early will, in the vast ma
Jority of cases prevent the occurrence of
these septic conditions. George G.. Frye
& Co., and Schlotterbeok & Foss, Port
land, keep anti-toxine here.
