indications are that it will continue to-
night and that there will be clear and
cold weather tomorrow for the election.
Although there has been long drought
throughout the Ohio valley, the smaller
streams are high tonight and there will
be bad roads in the rural districts to-
morrow. Some predict that the rains
will prevent the farmers from working
and thus secure as large vote as
though fairer weather prevailed. This
is what is known as an 'off year" in
Ohio, the years following presidential
elections being called "off" years. Fol-
lowing the election of Hayes in 1876 the
Democrats carried Ohio in 1877 for Bish-
op as governor and legislature that
made George H. Pendleton Democratic
senator. Following the election of
Cleveland in 1884, the Republicans car
ried the state in 1885 for Foraker for
governor and Sherman for senator.
Following the election of Harrison in
1888, the Democrats in 1889 elected
Campbell governor and secured legis-
lature that made Brice senator. Fol-
lowing the reelection of Cleveland in
1892 came the great triumph of Nc
Kinley for governor and the return of
Sherman to the senate.

with the one sent out from Port Town
send in respect to the amount OF gold
brought down on the Sunde. Instead
of the amount being $4,000 they say
that it will not exceed $4,000. They dis
credit the statement heretofore made
that this years output of the Cooks
Inlet region would reach 81, 100000. One
quarter of that figure, they say, would
be nearer the truth. The country is not
yet developed. While there is no big
bonanza on Cooks Inlet there are plen-
ty of paying claims. Mills creek is the
best of all. The Polly Mining company
located there averaged during the sea-
son with twenty men working $1,000 a
day, or $50 to the man. Claims run all

Passing out through Dixon's entrance

Captain johnson stood in the storm with
bare poles, and the little craft was tossed
about like a chip. When the storm
first broke he sighted little schooner
heading northward with the American
flag flying. She appeared to be wanting
assistance, but gave no further indica-

CONSULAR REPORTS
The American Manufacturers Dom
Do Busting Enough

WASHINGTON, Nov 1.-Consul Burg
at Chihuahua, Mexico, in report to the
state department, says that the mercan-
tile business is in the hands of Germans
and French. There has been falling
off in imports, the greatest decline being
in cotton textiles, due to the establish
ment of cotton mills. The importation
of wooden manufactures, beer and ice
have also decreased.
Consul Tingle, at Brunswick, Ger
many says that the importation OF
American products in that district is in
significant in amount, due more to the
lack of enterprise on the part of Ameri-
can manufacturers than to any indispo-
sition of the people to buy foreign made
goods.

Local florists first became aware OF

leaves.
The young woman in charge of the
Riessen Floral company's store says
that of late it has been impossible for
her to supply the demand. She made
inquiry as to what disposition was
made of these petals, and much to her
surprise learned that women young
and old, were smoking them. The
effect is said to be delightful. One re
