Dry Gnnds.

NEW YORK, Feb 1-To-day's trading in dry
goods has been reversal OF yesterdays in that
buyers in the market contributed to the total for
the day in far greater proportion. The usual
Tuesday dearth of mail orders gave an oppor-
tunity for store traders to come to the fore. The
showing of buyers in town quite good one
and their aggregate operations were considerable
in amount. Buyers Of woolens were the most
active In cotton goods operations were more
conservative. The demand for staple goods is ir-
regular, manufacturers ana converters doing the
bulk of the buying which, in its entirety, is not
heavy. Prints are still irregular in demand and
firm in nrice.

She for a moment forgot her cause of

quite intently, and a subtle shade of
doubt passed slowly over her features.
1T is a solitary one" said she;
quite solitary. L do not wonder it

has any one ever told you that-that
it was not considered as being quite

"Safe?" I repeated, WITHHOLD for

There was a gentle sort of sarcasm in
the tone; only that, or so I thought at
the time. 1 began to feel myself in a
maze.
Somebody suppose it was the sta
ton master-did say something to me
about a boy lost somewhere in this por-
ton of the woods. Do you mean that,
my dear?"
She nodded, glancing again over her
shoulder and partly rising as if moved
by some instinct of fight.

with another look toward the heavily
curtained windows, for more than one
person to be lost in their recesses.'

My face must have assumed a very
grim look. for her words tripped at that
point and a flush, the first [ had seen

giving her an appearance of great dis
tress.

NRRR A..

Lincoln, Nov. 9.-Scattering precinct
returns indicate political surprise in
Nebraska, inasmuch as they forecast
the almost certain election of Hay
ward, rep, for governor by plurality
of not less than 5000. This will be a
reversal of the verdict of 1896 by nearly
$4,000. The count thus far is wholly
on governor so far as the state ticket
is concerned, and as it is the belief
that Hayward is running slightly
ahead of his ticket it would make the
results on remaining state offices very
close. The most surprising feature of
it all is the strength displayed by re-
publican Legislative candidates. the
few returns received showing them to
be even ahead of Hayward.

INDIANA.

Indianapolis, Nov. 9.-Scattering re-
turns from precincts in Indianapolis
and Marion county indicate that dem
ocrats have carried the city and coun-
ty. This secures Bailey's, dem, cleo
tion to congress over Overstreet, rep,
the present incumbent, and also seven
democratic members of the legislature
instead of seven republicans, the pres
ent incumbent.
Chairman Martin, of the democratic
state committee, says the returns are
not as yet sufficiently complete to de-
termine as to the state. The repub-
licans have probably elected five con-
gressmen. The democrats claim eight
congressman. The legislature is in
doubt.

ILLINOIS.

Chicago, Nov. 9.-Five and probably
six congressman have been gained in
Illinois by the democrats and the con-
gressional delegation from this state is
likely to be evenly divided. II demo-
Gratis and II republicans. 1t is possible
for the republicans to have 10 of the %
congressman, as all the returns are not
yet in, but the indications are for an
even split on the delegation.
The entire republican state ticket is
elected by about 25, 900 plurality. In
Cook county the vote has been very
close, the republicans carrying the
county and the democrats the city of
Chicago. The democratic plurality in
the city is about 5000 and the republic
an plurality about the same in the
country.

Sandushy Nov. Son account of the
existence of smallpox in this city, the
board of education has instructed SUI
perintendent Williams to notify all
pupils attending the city schools that
they must be vaccinated. Out of an
enrolment of 2,7sO only 474 pupils had
been vaccinated successfully during
recent years. AT present there are five
cases in the city and the houses are
guarded day and night. At one resi-
dence it is feared the disease will
spread to other members of the family,
as the patient was not reported to the
health board until after her case was
well deyeloped.

Gov Wolcott's plurality over A. b.
Bruce, his democratic opponent, will
be about 10000, or about $4,000 less
than his lead last year. The vote this
year was much heavier than in 1897
and Mr.. Bruce made substantial gains
over George f. Williams, democratic
candidate last year. Wolcott carried
Boston, which is usually a democratic
city. Nearly all the interest in the
campaign was confined to the Fifth,
Seventh, Ninth and Tenth congress
sional districts and both parties fought
hard on national issues, but the repub-
licans lost two if not three of their
districts.

Des Moines, Nov. &C. T.. Hancock,
chairman republican state central
committee, says: "We expect to carry
the state by about $4,000 and elect the
entire congressional delegation"
g. A. Hoffman, secretary democratic
committee, says: From returns re-
ceived SO far the state will go republi-
can by greatly reduced majorities."
Returns show that the republican
majority this year will nearly equal
that of Mckinley in 1895. Ninety pre-
cincts show a net republican loss of 81.
Fifty precincts showed net gain of
81, SO that the majority is running
even. The vote fell off from 10 to 20
per cent.
