At the Redhin railway station pas
senger recently came to the station
master in great grief, saying that her
little pet dog had been left by accident
on the platform at Reigate and would
likely be either crushed by locomotive
or lost. The courteous official telephoned
through respecting the poodle. and the
answer came Immediately that dog of
that description had just been brought
into the police station. The receiver
was put to the dogs ear, and the lady
was asked to speak to it. She did so.
The effect was electrical The dog bark
ed cordial recognition of the voice and
by its antics expressed great desire to
jump into the apparatus and traverse
the wire in order to get to its mistress
all the sooner.-Birlningham England

soap Mixed In the Dough.

Epicures may be interested to know
that continental bakers are in the habit
of mixing soap with their dough to make
their bread and pastry nice and light.
The quantity OF soap varies, In fancy
articles, like waffles and fritters, it is
much larger than in bread The soap is
dissolved in water, oil is added, and the
mixture, after being well whipped. is
added 10 the -four.

Free Speech Not Wanted.

The county election is over, and
what is here said concerning the un-
pleasant incident at the opera house in
this city last Monday night is not said
for political effect. The meeting held
that evening was ostensibly to welcome
was engineered to be pulled off at that
time for political effect-on the eve of
election day. No one not in sympathy
with the ideas of expansion by force of
arms should have attempted to address
the meeting, knowing its ulterior OBJ
ject. Unfortunately Prof Harris did
not understand it to be political meet
ing; he doubtless thought that he had
been asked to address a meeting of
non-partisans who would give him a
respectful audience. He expressed his
honest convictions concerning the
course of the United States in dealing
with the Philippine islands. The par
tisans did not want to hear anything
but republican doctrine, and did not
permit Prof. Harris to flush his ad-
dress. What he said was largely mis-.
represented. misconstrued, and dis
torted to arouse the worst natures of
the enthusiasts, and the result was not
only mortlfYing to the speaker, but
unfortunate for the public, iusomuch
that the demonstration there made
tends to stir up party prejudice aud
also to shut off free speech in this lsnd
of freedom.
Two things in our judgment are Ger
tain: Prof Harris should have stayed
away from that meeting, aud the man.
ayers of it should not have asked him
for an honest expression.

IN OFRER STATES.

The state elections show about
a stand-off, as to any bearing
the results may have on the next
national election.
In Ohio, the republicans win by
a plurality only, which is not an
endorsement of Mckinley expan-
sion by that state.
In Nebraska, the fusion candi-
dates win by an increased major
ity over that of last year. This
is a splendid endorsement of Col.
VIM. J. Bryan and his views; as
the republicans made an Hercu.
lean effort to bring about a diff
ferent result.
In Kentucky, by reason of the
split in the democratic ranks the
republicans win by a plurality
not a majority. Kentucky il

out their announcements for popular
favor. Oliver Scott's Big Minstrel
Carnival. a company that has been
successful all over America, will make
It's appearance in this city the coming
week. The novelty of this attraction
lies in the fact that iI is composed ex-
clusively of genuine negroes, forty in
number. The name "MINSTRELS'-
Is applied to the organization for wat
of more comprehensive title. Or
course, there is regular Minstrel first

HALF AND HALF.

The result of the county cleo
ton, as indicated by the impair
tial and unofficial returns we
have this far been able to get, is
as follows:
GRIFFITH, for Treasurer, ma
iority about 95.
JOHNSON, for Sheriff, majority
about 100.
LUTsCHG, for Clerk, majority
about so.
BRoDIE, for Register, majority
about 200.
ATKIN, for Coroner, small ma
iority.
Dick, for Commissioner, about
so majority.
This makes an even break, not
counting Newcombe for Surveyor
who had no opposition.
The official count may put in
DR.. Koch for Coroner, in which
case the politics OF the new offic-
ers will stand: Three republicans,
two democrats, and two popu-
lists.

majority-perfectly awful.

republicans-dad burn 'em!

voters are not in favor of the Nc

perialism. Mr. Morrison was

The republicans elected two of
their men-neither one a soldier,
old or young-but defeated the
Philippine soldier. Now when
they talk the soldier racket
the ''horse laugh" will likely be
their reward.

son of a warrior: and he the son
