Pretty Badly Mixed.

The official vote Of Elko county

curious condition OF politics. New

MILAN, Republican, IT'S; Grimes,
Democrat, wallops Judge, Silver

publican, Dol, and Peckham, Peoples

comes ont 40 ahead of Haist, Demo
crat, and SO in the lead of O'Brien,
Republican.
Candidates Of each of the parties
leave the county ahead of their oppo-
neuts. Newlands, Sadler, Jones, Cut
ting and Starrett, Silver party candi-
dates, get pluralities; Grimes, Web
Der, Morris and Booher, Democrats,
beat their opponents; Button is the
only Republican candidate to pass
under the wire ahead; LaGrave, In
dependent, distanced his competitors;
and Pratt saved the honor of the
Peoples party by pulling out seven
votes ahead of Stewart. Democrat.
These results show that partv ties
are not very strong in Ellso county.
They also show that the independent
voter is abroad in the land and must
be reckoned with when the next cleo
ton rolls around.
On the county ticket six Silver par.
ty men, four Democrats, and three
Independent candidates win the Of
fees. Here the tracks of the indie.
pendent voter are also seen. Taking
the vote on the State and county
tickets, the result in tbs county is
study for politicians. Is the county
Democratic, Republican, Silver party,
Peoples party or what Is it2 We
leave it to the reader to solve the
query.

DON'T Send Bills.
(From London Answers.)

The doctors of Sweden never send bills to their
patients. If you have occasion TO call physi-
clan, you will find him not only skillhul in his
profession, but highly educated and honorable
gentleman. You will also have a proof of the
honesty of the Swedes and their friendly conf
dence in each other.
What you shall pay your physician is left
entirely at your own choice. The rich may pay
him literally, whether they have need of his
services or not, if he has once been retained
by them. The poor may pay him small sum-,
and the very poor pay him nothing. Yet he visits
the poor as faithfully as he does the rich.
similar custom prevailed up to the middle
OF the present century in some Of the most re-
mote portions of the Highlands of Scotland.
There the doctor collected his entire years bills
on a certain market day in Summer. getting per-
haps five or ten pounds from the larger farmers,
but only as many shillings from the poorer
crofters.

A Few Sick Remain.

Only a few of the sick of this regiment
remain in the division hospital and the
general hospital of Fort Myer, the re-
mainder leaving with the regiment on
hospital section of two sleepers coupled to
the rear of the regimental train
These cars were well equipped for the
journey and were in charge of the regi-
mental surgeons The sick left behind are
either convaiescents or patients too III to
be moved with safety.
The hospital section contained almost
forty patients and the full number of sick
to reach Buffalo in a weeks time from
this regiment will fall but little short
of zoo, the great majority being sufferers
from typhoid fever contracted at the i'll
conditioned camp.
1t was with a sigh of relief that the di-
visional surgeons saw the Sixty-fifth
leave, as this regiment has been the most
serious sufferer from camp maladies, and
its quota of sick in the divisional and gen.
eral hospitals has seldom fallen short of
half a hundred.

Abolish the Hospital.

There was one death at the general hos
pital at Fort Myer yesterday, that of Pri-
vate John j. Murphy, Company E, Ninth
Massachusetts, typhoid victim.
A general improvement is reported
among the patients in this hospital, and
the death rate has materially decreased
The removal of the thirty odd patients
of the Sixty-fifth from the divisional hos
pital yesterday has almost robbed that
notorious institution of patients, the
number remaining falling short of one
hundred. But few patients were received
yesterday, and it is anticipated that by
Wednesday all viii have been removed
and the hospital abolished, leaving only
its bad record behind.

Crased by Fever.

He went TO Santiago with his regiment
last June, and at that time he was one
of the healthiest and best natured men
In his company. The burning heat of the
tropics and the fever which he contract
ed unbalanced his mind, and when he
returned to this country he had become
melancholy and taciturn. His condition
grew worse after his regiment went into
camp on Long Island, and on July "a he
attempted to cut his throat with razor.
He succeeded in infiicting slight injury
before he was disarmed, but it was not
serious He was placed under guard in
the hospital, where he remained until
Saturday, when he managed to elude the
men who were watching him, and start
ed for his regiment. On the way a guard
challenged him, and being unable to show
authority for moving about, he was
stOpped.

Toe Good to he True.

The Sixty-fifth New York broke camp
early yesterday morning, and shortly
after 10 O'Clock left on special train for
Buffalo, which, with. the exception of
one company, is the home of the entire
regiment.
When the train pulled out shout of
thanksgiving went up from hundreds or
throats as even after the loading OF the
train with troops had begun, many OF
the boys were skeptical about their de-
parture, and believed that contradictory
orders would reach them before they
could get away.
The men were all delighted at their de-
liverance from the camp, and the train
will carry to Buffalo the happtest lot of
boys in the country.
orders reached regimental headquarters
Saturday night for the regiment TO be
ready for departure in the morning, and
the business of packing was dispatched
with a will when the boys learned the
glad news at reveille yesterday morning.
The sick call brought but few men TO the
surgeons tents, and these We're chiefly
sufferers from trining ailments, who
called for their regular treatment. The
other sick in the company streets were
so buoyed up over the glad news that
they forgot for a time their weakness,
and earnestly aided in the preparations
for departure.

His Arrival Here.

The War Department had been notified

ambulance waiting at the railroad station
on Sixth Street to meet the train, which
arrived yesterday morning. Murphy was
carried out TO the train and placed in the
ambulance, which was driven rapidly to
the asylum.
1t is thought that the unfortunate
soldiers mental arrangement is only
temporary, due to his sufferings while in
Cuba and that careful nursing and medi-
cal attention will bring MN around all
right. The three soldiers who accom-
panied him here returned to Camp Black
yesterday afternoon.

In Fits of Rage.

In a fit of rage he ran to where some ri
fles were stacked, seized one and charged
on the guard, attempting TO bayonet him.
With some difficulty the guard managed
to keep him off until help arrived and he
was caught and bound. His commanding
officer decided Immediately that ne should
be sent to Washington, and without any
delay he was placed on train, in charge
of his three comrades.
After he had been on the train q few
minutes and while it was in motion he
made rush for the platform with the
evident intention of jumping off. His
guards caught him, however, and led him
back, but when he was again in his seat
he sought to kill himself by banging his
head against the car window. He shat
tered the glass but was prevented from
doing himself any further damage.
After this experience he was hand
cuffed. His guardians were compelled 10
sit up with him all night listening to his
rawlings He thinks at times that he is
still at the front, fighting the Spaniards

and he yells at the foe. urging his COM
