TorEKA, Kan, Nov 2. t.--Election re-
turns have been received at Republic
an headquarters from 90 coun ties out
of lO5, and from Js counties at Popu-
list headquarters While both reports
agree On Republican gains over the
vote of 1890, they are conflicting in
comparison with the vote of SOS. and
this must be determined By the official
count
The Republicans elect nine ont Of
thirteen district Judges, as follows:
NJ. T.. simpson, IN the Ninth district;
Il NJ. Picker, In the Fifteenth; Ansell
a. Clark, in the Twentieth; II. B.
Spillinan. Twenty-Arst; r. T. Thomp-
son, Thirtieth; +. T. Price. Thirty
first; W. L Hutchison, Thirty -secon q;
c. w. Smith, Thirty-fourth, and Wl-
liam Thompson, Thirty-f .th The
fusionists elected these judges: John
T. Burris, Tenth district; A. c. 4.
Geiger. Seventeenth; W. T. Mcbride.
Nineteenth, and J Z, Andrews
Thirty-third
In sixty counties from which def
mite returns have been received the
Republicans have made gains OF
twenty-three principal county offices
over sos, -when the Republicans swept
the state, and the Populists have made
gains OF fifty-siX principal offices, n
net gain for the Populists Of thirty
three.
The Republicans elected three out
of four representatives to fill vacln-
cies, and the Populists have probably
elected the fourth, although no re
turns have bsen received Each party
elected one state senator, as already
reported. This leaves the PopuHst
majority in the legislature unchanged.

that the scandal dates back to last Sep
tember, when her recreant husband and
Mrs. StippeI left here together for Au-
tralia. McCord, who is well-to-do con-
tractor and a prominent member OF
several societies, it is alleged induced
Mrs. Stippel to leave her husband and
children and elope with him to the Anti
podes. The matter was hushed up by
their respective families, but some
months later Mrs. McCord determined
to bring her husband back and sailed
fer Australia On arrival at Sydney, 1t
is alleged, she found the guilty couple
living together as Mr.. and Mrs. Green,
but after interviewing her husband,
finally induced him to return with her to
the United States. After she had pur-
chased the tickets, however, 1t is
charged that McCord secured them, and
quietly giving her the slip, sailed with
Mrs. Stippel, leaving his legal wife IN
the lurch.
Mrs. McCord, however, promptly made
arrangements to catch the same steam
er upon which the runaways were speed
ing to America, via New Zealand, and
much to the surprise of the guilty cou-
pie boarded the steamer upon the day
she sailed from Auckland. Upon ar
rival in this city, being unable to sep
arate her husband from her rival, she
applied to the Society for the Proven
ton of Vice, with the above result.
Stippel, who is jeweler, has already
