why the ladies of the south were more

ter patient investigation he came to
the conclusion that their chief charm
lies in their voice and eyes. The eyos
OF southern ladies'. he says alwaya

are blue or black il is the same. He
found ladies of Nashville generally

Colonel Maher states that men on re-

men in culture, refinement and hospi-

inferior to Nebraska people in intelli-

may be remarked here that Colonel

INCOMES THAT SEEM LARGE

1t is always assumed that great
painters make fortunes almost with Q
turn Of the hand. That, at all events,
is not the experience OF VI. Puvis de
Chavannes, the most celebrated paint
er In France at the present time, who
has been working for thirty-seven
years, estimates that the total amount
he has been able TO earn by his pic
lures in that time has amounted to
scarcely fig, 900. In other words, his
income has averaged only about f430
a year.
This even does not represent profit,
for naturally his expenses in hiring
models and in purchasing materials
would have to be deducted from this
very modest sum.
Similar abnormal figures between
position and income are occasionally
met with in other professions, al
though as a rule men do not like to
proclaim the fact that they have not
been great money-makers.
One Of the most remarkable ex-
amples Of this fact was the case of a
famous oculist living in Harley street.
He was the senior surgeon Of one Of
the most celebrated ophthalmic hos
pitfalls In London. and held one OF the
highest positions In the professional
world as a consultant.
In speaking Of the subject Of earn
ings to a professional friend one day,
he jokingly asked:
What would you think has been
the most have ever earned In a year
out Of the practice of my profession"
The friend looked up not knowing
what to answer, whereupon' the old
oculist went on: We'll, you would
perhaps be surprised II ! told you that

The November Election,

1t is an almost invariable rule of
political action in the United States
that when the Tide shall have swept
strongly in one direction at an i'm
portant election it will move strongly
in the opposite direction Immediately
afterward. Victory brings laxity and
overconhdence to the successful party.
1t also breeds dsaffectlon. For every
man who gets share of the spoils
there are ten men who are sent away
empty. There were never Offices
enough to go around, even before the
days of civil service reform, and there
are still fewer now. And so it is that
the Republican flag, carried full high
year ago AMI planted in the light OF

HERRING DEFEATED.

The official returns from the several
districts in the county giveJ U. Kurtz,
Republican candidate for Associate
Judge, majority Of S. over A. B.
Herring, the Democratic candidate.
This, we believe, is the first time in
the history of Columbia county that a
republican has been elected to a
county Office, over the regular Demo
cratic nominee.
In 1870 Isaac S. Monroe ran as an
independent candidate for Associate
Judge, against John r. Yohe, the
nominee of the Democratic conven-
ton, and defeated him. There were
causes for this, and the result was not
wondered al, at that time.
1t is hard to assign causes for the
present situation. In Berwick, Kurtzs
home, his majority is 437, while Her
rings majority in Orange township,
his home, is only 9. Bloomsbury gives
Kurtz 24r majority, Centralia gives
him 5S majority, Conyngham town
ship II6 majority. The other dis
tricts giving Kurtz majorities are Briar-

and Scott.

Smaller and More Infrequent.
Bradstreet sums up the outlook
busly:
General trade retains most of the
features OF week ago with a continu-
ed check to the movement Of staple
merchandise. At larger eastern and
central western cities sales of season.
able goods have not equaled expecta-
tlons, and at none of those points has
the volume of business increased.
Mercantile collections are slower,
filling in orders are smaller and more
lnfrequent, and business in staple
lines for the latter halt of October,
aside from that in wool and metals,
has been somewhat disappointing.
Consumption OF iron and steel con-
tinues heavy, but mills refuse orders
for 1898 delivery, in the belief that
the cost of making iron and steel will
be higher Woolen goods continue
firm and in fair demand, with an up
ward tendency, but cotton fabrics are
weak and the market is heavily
stocked. Wheat is again above a
dollar on continued heavy exports.
The total number of business fail
ures reported throughout the United
States this week is ais compared with
aos last week and a46 in the week a
year ago.
