Topeka, Kan, Nov. 9.-The repub-
licans claim that they have carried at
least rs counties out of the los, and IL
may run to so. The vote was very
light all over the state, but the leaders
say that the returns, when all in, will
show that the republicans have carried
Kansas by from $1,000 to $4,000.
Returns from the various counties in
which the Twentieth Kansas soldiers
were candidates, show that they did
not fare any better than their associ-
ates Not single instance is reported
where a soldier was elected and his as
sociates were defeated.
Fusionists were generally successful
in Leavenworth, Chase, Montgomery,

THE Lo0TING OF CHURCHES.
A Late Soldier In the Philippines Says Gen.
Funston Was Very Strict In his
Orders Against Looting.

Minneapolis, MIMI, Nov. 9.-Fred-
erick Gregory, late private in the
Thirteenth Minnesota and interpreter
in the police court at Manila, says the
looting OF churches in the Philippines
was done by the Filipinos themselves
and the thrifty Cinnamon. One
wealthy Chinese merchant showed him
a big chest filed 10 the brim with
sacred utensils of silver taken from
various churches. He takes no stock
in the charges Of the Monitor news
paper against Gen. Funston, who, he
says, had the reputation OF being the
strictest OF all the regimental COM
manders in his orders against looting.
His men grumbled good deal about
his strictness. After taking Malolos
he stationed guard in every building
of importance.

THE SOUTH AFRICAN WAR.
II Gen. white Gan Hold Out Untu Relieved
the Campsiga WIN Turns
Fresh Page.

London, Nov. 9.-To the eyes Of mil
itary experts the darkest page Of the
war Is now being written. But even
that Is illuminated with bright pas
sages. such as Gen. Whites victorious
sorties. II he can keep the British flag
flying over Ladysmith until he Is re-
lieved the campaign will turn fresh
page, and, with the advance Of Sir
Redvers Buffers force, the British pub
lie Is promised more cheerful reading.
The most interesting news last night
was q dispatch from Estcourt announc-
ing the departure of strong force OF
mounted troops and artillery for q des-
tination not given In the advices. An
other message announces the arrival at
Estcourt and Pietermaritzburg within
the last few days Of achievements
from Durham and that 1900 troops are
assembled ready for an advance to Col
enso when the opportune moment ar
rives.
The situation looks brighter at Ma
feking, where the Beers are apparently
disheartened ut the unexpected resist
ance, n large body Of their force hav-
ing been detached to the south to assist
In the investment of Kimberley, around
which the Gordon is drawing tighter.
Evidently the Beers intend to make n
concentrated effort to capture Kimber-
ley and that arch enemy. Cecil Rhodes.
Reports of treacherous use OF the
white flag by the Beers, coming from
native sources, are not received with
complete credulity, but ut the same
time their reiteration is making an un-
favorable impression.
Further details from Mafeking, car
rying events up to October 81 indicate
that the Boer firing was easing of, the
garrison was In high spirits and the
siege becoming n farce.
A dispatch from Durham gives de-
tails which, though rather indefinite.
seem to show that the Natal volunteers
are moving the big guns, which are
not sufficiently mobile for field use,
from Estcourt to fredericksburg to
assist in the defense OF the latter in the
event of IN attack.

IiiInoi.an Has an Ugly Face.


George Geiger was said to be the ugli-
est man In Illinois He kept coun-
try store In Versailles. little town In
this state, in the earlier days and
made n large fortune. He spent his
money freely and was jolly good fell
low. But his face! II made the chill
dren cry to look at It! Geiger went to
New York in the days Of his pros
perity and there was not much
that he did not see. The first Sunday
he was In town he went to Trinity
church and seated himself in an empty
pew well forward. While the first
lesson was being read stranger en-
tered. Geiger politely made room and
passed over q prayer book. The stran-
ger scowled and taking q pencil from
his pocket, wrote on the fly leaf: "This
is my pew" Geiger wrote back:
Damned fine pew; what will you take
for it?" This settled the Christian
gentleman and he did not bother
Geiger again. At the conclusion OF
the service the owner Of the pew
put out his hand to Geiger and begged
his pardon for his rudeness and lack OF
Christian hospitality. THAT'S all
right" said Geiger; ''it's my face, as
usual, that was the cause Of it." From
that time the two men were fast
friends, and together had many q
laugh over their first meeting.-Chi-

It Had slipped His Mind.

Robert Dewar, the British scientist
who was the first experimenter to liq-

he left his home early one morning and
repaired to the house Of friend, in
which there was fine library to
which he had access. That afternoon
his relatives and friends searched the
neighborhood in vain for him. At
length he was run down in his library.
BY his side was new suit OF clothes.

An old, bedridden fisherman at

was frequently visited during his last
illness by kind-hearted clergyman,
who wore one OF those close-ftting
clerical vests which buttoned behind.
The clergyman saw the near approach
Of death one day in the old mans face,
and asked II his mind was perfectly ut
ease. 100 ny, I'm a. rcht," came the
feeble reply. "You are sure there is
nothing troubling you? Do not be
afraid to tell me-" The old man seemed
to hesitate, and at length, with a
faint return of animation, said: "Weel,
there's just ne thing that troubles me,
but dinna like to sperk OF" "Believe
me, am most anxious TO comfort you,"
replied the clergyman. Tell me what
1t is that troubles and purplexes you"
"Weel, sir, it's just like this" said
the old man eagerly. II Gamma for the
