Washington Post Sizes /:
Up Election. !
Observation-Disclosures

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1O.-The Wash
ington Post presents in a series of dis
patches from correspondents in every
state of the Union, except Maine, Yer
mont and Oregon, where congressional
elections have already been held, a re-
view OF the political situation with spe-
clal relation to the complexion of the
next house of representatives. In sum.
marizing its dispatches the Post says:
While Democratic gains are out
lined in many states, the figures of op-
ponents do not yet make it positive that
the Republicans will lose control of the
house. There is at present in the house
OF representatives Republican major.
lty over all parties combined and this
large majority will be difficult to COM
pletely overcome. There is no doubt
that it will be reduced to very small
number. but the present indications do
not point to its entire disappear ance.
The estimates made by the Post cor
respondents show that 166 districts in
the United States will certainly be Re-
publican in the approaching election,
unless the unexpected happens, and 13
additional districts will give the Repub-
hcans majority of the house. Accord.
ing to the Posts advices, there are no
less than 40 doubtful districts, the large
number being in great measure due to
the caution of the POSTS correspondents
declining to place in the certain column
any district which contains an element
of doubt.
Out of this 40, however, there are at
least 20 districts in which the chances
are said to favor the Republicans. For
instance, there are districts in Massa.
chussetts, Maryland, Delaware, New
York, West Virginia. Ohio, Michigan
and Wyoming which are classed as
doubtful, but which the Republicans
will probably carry
With 166 districts assigned with GER
talnty to the Republicans against 1913
assigned to the Democrats, according to
the Posts figures. the party in power
has an easier path to travel to the de-
sired goal. The Populists are given 13
seats and the Silver Republicans four.
Ali the correspondents of the Post
agree in their statements as to the ap.
athy shown everywhere III the coming
elections, and that this lack of interest
Is the one great obstacle to Republican
success All efforts are now being
made to get out the vote, and the cam.
paign will undoubtedly become enliv-
ened The Democrats are encouraged
by their fighting chance. and the Re.
publicans, approaching the danger that
threatens, are vigorously laboring to
impress upon their voters the neces-
sity of casting every ballot at the polls.

Caldwell Joint Paided,

Deputy Sheriff G. c. Shaver went
to Caldwell Thursday night and raided
Dave BOoher's joint and arrested
Walter McDaniels, the bartender,
and cOndscated six kegs of beer, three
cases OF beer and four jugs of whisky.
The proprietor of the joint would
have been arrested, but for the fact
that he was sitting on jury In the
Lon Million wheat stealing case at
the time the complaint was handed
to the officers.
The raid was the result of a fight in
the joint between Sam hubbard, a
railroader, and Mcdaniel, the bar
tender, last Saturday night. McDan-
iel's head was badly peeled with a
beer glass during the melee. The in
formation against the place was given
to the officers by Hubbard.
BOoher's is one Of the worst Joints
in Caldwell. The liquor secured in
the place was brought up in company
with the prisoner that night.

Got the Wrong Man.

Sheriff Heskett returned Sunday
morning from Rogers, Ark, with
Robert Person, who was thought to
be the person who stole a horse and
buggy from W. E. o. Rush. He was
liberated upon his arrival here. when
it was found that the officers had
made a mistake. Sheriff Heskett pur.
chased Person ticket and he re-
turned home on the evening Santa Fe
train.
Person answered the description Of
the young man who stole the horse
and buggy. He was from the same
neighbOrhood as the guilty party, and
had been living near the place where
the young man who hired the horse
aud buggy stated that he wanted to

costly church edifice 10 the county,
and now that the property is en-
tirely paid for they have cause for
great rejoicing. While Rev. L. NJ.
Hartley was pastor here, about eight
years ago, a subscription was taken
that would more than have paid the
entire Indebtedness of the church, but
the amount was not all paid by about
$1,000, and the hard times coming on,
no attempt was made to collect this
sum. About two years ago the lots
where j. c. Smiths residence now
stands, were sold and the proceeds
applied to the church debt, which re-
duced it to about $500. Some time
ago it was suggested that something
ought to be done to liQuidate the
church debt, and a canvass was quietly
set in motion conducted by Rev. E. A.
Hoyt, John SaylOr and Rev. S. Price.
Their efforts met with such success
that it was an assured fact that the
debt would he paid by January l, 1898.
The Church Extension society, who
was the holder of the mortgage, gen.
erOuSly offered to donate the interest
that had accumulated on the debt,
provided $500 Yves paid them by jan
uary l. This was done, also all local
Indebtedness has been paid. There
are a few small bills yet unpaid, but
good subscriptions and promises to
help, will more than suffice to pay
them.
The church people are exceedingly
grateful to a number of business men
of the city, not members of the
church, for generous donations which
went great way in assisting them to
square up their obligations.
Tnis now places the Methodist
church with the other churches of the
city that are free from debt, and as
been stated heretofore, the churches
of Wellington are now in better con-
dition financially, spiritually and
otherwise than ever before, and with
such success in the future as has been
enjoyed 10 the past, the Wellington
churches will prosper and continue
to increase in membership until We
will be rated among the best as a
religious community.

THE HURRYING FEET OF WOMEN

of woman's sympathy for her sister-woman
If women would only spread the medical
gospel, that woman is untitled for wife
hood and motherhood as long as she suffers
from weakness or disease of the distinctly
womanly organism, there would be less
necessity for the sisterly sympathy that
woman receives when she is in the throes
OF child-bearing.
A woman who is thoroughly strong and
healthy in a womanly way has to suffer
comparatively little pain and sickness when
she becomes a mother. Dr.. Pierce's Favor

and important organs that bear the burdens
of maternity and gives them health,

Smith is wanted 10 Beaver county,

other crimes. There are several in
dictnents against him. Beaver

numerous crimes. He bore the same
reputation in that country that he

Clyde rlattOx Pardoned.

Washington, Jan. l5.-The presi.
dent has extended complete pardon
to Clyde Mattox, who is now serving a
life sentence in the Kansas state peni-
Tertiary for murder, committed 10
the Indian Territory. The Mattox
case was highly sensational. He was
tried altogether three times, and in
1894 was sentenced to death. Presi-
dent Cleveland gave careful consider
alton to his case and upon strong
representations made by the friends
of MattOx in June, 1894, committed
the sentence to Imprisonment for
life
