LOOKING UP COAL LAND.
Representative of Two Companies Think
Well of Prospects Hereabout.


Charles Hoffman, representing the
Seatonville Coal company, and c. f.
Kisor, of the Reed City Coal company,
of this state, have been in Moline the
past week looking over ground east of
that city and conducting a thorough
investigation to determine whether
there is coal in sufficient quantities to
pay for mining. Their investigations
have been more than satisfactory, and
if they can buy and get options on
enough of the land they will start
work on the plant Immediately.
In a conversation with n Moline
Journal representative the gentlemen
expressed themselves as perfectly sat
isiied that there was a good opening
at that point and said that there was
undoubtedly plenty of coal in the lands
Investigated, east of the city limits,
and unless they were greatly mistak-
en- other and more valuable minerals
were there in paying quantities.

The Keokuk Constitution-Democrat

The keokuk Constitution-Demo
puts it about right when it says:
The people of the United States want
the administration to do something
and do it quick. They want the mill
tary forces of the United States to
whip the Filipinos into submission
since the job has been undertaken.
They want this country to cease being
placed in ridiculous light by the
present futile methods of putting
down the instruction in the Philip
pines. What has been once under
taken. in the nature of things, the
American people want to see prompt
ly accomplished. And after it is done
they will settle as to the disposition
of the islands. Let there be an end
to vacilating politics and wasting of
lives and money. There should be no
half way business when war actually

The Argus Leader basing estimates

the estimate of the national committee

At midnight Chairman Bowler con-
ceded the election of the judges by 1000.
Aberdeen-Returns are coming i'll
slowly. Partial reports from nearly
every county east of the Missouri river
show Republican gains, especially in
cities. Aberdeen gives Republican gain
of 100 over last year. Judge Fuller, on
whom the fusion forces concentrated
their fire, is running some behind his
ticket, but not enough to defeat him.
Returns SO far indicate Republican
majority of at least 500.
Chairman Herried of the Republican
state central committee says: 81 regret
the small vote cast in the state, due to
the fact that the farmers are busy. Had
there been full vote there would have
been Republican landslide. But as it
is we will carry the state by at least
5000 majority. This victory is espe-
cially gratifying because Of the despcr-
ate efforts of the fusonists and because
Senator Pettigrew threw his personality

Boston, Nov. S.-The Republicans

BALTIMORE, Nov. 8.-Incomplete re-.
turns from the city of Baltimore and
mcager reports from the state received

the Republicans of Maryland have been
overwhelmingly defeated and that John
Walter Smith, the Democratic candi-
date, has been elected by Il majority va.
riously estimated at from 10000 to 15,-
900. There is also a reasonable certainty
that the lower house of the general as
sembly will be Democratic by large
majority and that the Democrats will
elect enough state senators to overcome
the Republican advantage among the
holdover senators, thereby controlling
both branches of the legislature. The
Democrats are wild with enthusiasm,
while the Republicans are correspond.
ingly depressed over the result, which
they are inclined to attribute to treach-
cry among the followers of Mayor
Malster and United States Senator
George L. Wellington.
The latter has taken no part in the
campaign and has not hesitated since
his resignation as chairman Of the state
central committee a few weeks ago to
predict the overwhelming defeat of the
Republican ticket.

FUSIONIsTS WIN IN NEBRASKA.

Republicans Admit Defeat, but Not by as
Large a Majority AS Claimed by the Fu-

Vote of Both Parties.
LINCOLN, Nov. 8.-There is no longer
any doubt as to the result in Nebraska.
The returns continue to show steady fu-
sion gains, and the majority for Hol.
comb will not be less than 10000.
w. J. Bryan gave out this statement:
''The campaign in Nebraska was fought
on national issues and the result is
protest against the policy Of the admin
istratiOn.''
At a. m. Chairman Tefft Of the Re-
publican committee admitted that the
figures at hand showed the election Of
the fusion ticket.
LINCOLN, Nov. SIT is evident to
both parties in yesterdays fight that
Nebraska has repledged her allegiance
to the fusion standard. While Repub-
licans are not yet willing to admit de-
feat, early figures point that way. There
has been steady falling off of the vote
Of both parties, but while the fusionists
have suffered but little, the Republican
loss has not been less than three to IL
precinct. If the present ratio is main
tanned, Ex-Governor Holcomb and the
fusion state ticket will be elected by not
less than 10000. Fusionists claim much
more.
Returns up to midnight continue to
show the same fusion .-aiH rs earlier re-
ports, and there is no longer the least
doubt Of the fusion tickets election.
Chairman Edmisten of the Popuhst
state central committee said: "We car
ried the state by $4,000 and have made
gains in county officers"
Chairman Tefft of the Republican
committee declined to make state
ment, but many of his associates ad-
mitted defeat, though not conceding it
by as large majority as claimed by the
fusionists.
Asked at midnight for statement,
w. j. Bryan replied, with laughter: 81
concede the state of Nebraska to the fu-
Eonists by l5,0OO."
