Republican Gains over the Sts.e Will
Average Ten Per Cent.
TOPEKA, Nov. 8.-Early returns indi-
cate Republican gains in the county
elections held over Kansas yesterday.
1t is predicted by conservative polite
ians that the Republican gain will reach
10 per cent. In Shawnee county the
whole Republican ticket is elected by a
gain Of 20 per cent over last year. A
very light vote was polled all over the
state.
Returns received up to midnight in
dictate that the Republican gain over
the state at large will average 10 per
cent. Cowley county is in the lead so
far as heard from, showing an average
Republican gain of 400 over last year.
In Sedgwick county, of which Wichita
is the principal town, the entire Repub-
hcan ticket is elected except district
judge, Hale Dem.), who is reelected.
There seems to be no great gain or loss
in Sedgwick county. In Leavenworth
county the ticket is divided Everhart
Dem.), is elected sheriff by 400.
Atchison county is Republican by a
reduced majority. The fusionists elect
one commissioner.
In Douglas county the Republican
ticket is elected and slight gains are
indicated. Captain krause of the
Twentieth Kansas, fusion nominee for
county register of deeds, was defeated
in this county.
Hutchinson reports entire Republican
ticket elected in Reno county by 800
majority, Republican gain of 300.
In Lyon county the entire Republican
ticket is elected.
The Republicans have elected eight
out of IL candidates for district judge
in the state. In the Thirty judic-
ial district, where bitter contest was
on, the two Republican candidates,
Charles johnson and Cyrus Hurrel,
split the vote, and the Democrat. Gep-
hart, went in.
The Republicans elected the only two
candidates for state senator. They

May Contest In Kentucky.

LOUISVILLE, Nov. 9.-No matter what
result the face of the returns of Tues
day election show, a contest is very
likely to occur. Additional returns re-
ceived today continue to show Repub-
Gcan gains, and basing an estimate on
the normal complexion of the precincts
still unreported indicate plurality of
5000 or 5000 for governor. The belated
returns are mostly from mountain coun-
ties, which are strongly Republican.
The Eleventh district, which in 1895
gave Mckinley plurality of 10000, is
oply about half reported. Eleven coun
ties in this district gave Taylor plu-
rality of 10000, Indicating that the Re-
publicans have carried the district by
about the same figures as in 1885, The
Goebel people cling to their claim of a
plurality of 5000 in the state, these
figures being the estimate made by the
nominee himself.
At Republican headquarters in this
city Taylor's plurality is claimed at 8 1000.
Almost complete returns from Louis
vile and Jefferson county do not change
last nights estimate of Republican
plurality, of little over 5000.
Governor Bradley is still in the city
and announces that he will remain here
for several days.
In view of the probability of q con-
test over the vote for governor, the
statement, made by Chairman Long of
the Republican campaign committee, is
significant. Said Mr.. Long: 'The
legislature is close, but think we have
lost both houses. From semioficial re-
turns from all counties, except two, and
careful estimates from these, we have
carried the state by 5000 plurality for
Taylor"
Today's developments bring the legis-
probability that it ultimately will have
to determine who is to be the next gov
ernor of Kentucky. In all expressions
upon the result of the election coming
from Democratic headquarters, the
legislature has been claimed as safe for
that party. No statement of it's make
up has been given, but it is probable q
number Of members claimed by the
Democrats are not Goebel men. II the
strength of the two great parties is
nearly equal these anti-Goebel Demo
Gratis probably would hold the balance
Of power, thus furnishing all the ele-
ments for repetition of the exciting
and bitter contest of 1897, which re-
suited in the defeat of 10 Blackburn
for the United States senate. While
the returns on the head Of the ticket are
incomplete, but little attention has been
paid to the figures on members Of the
legislature and until the contest be-
tween the leaders is cleared up some
what it will be hard to get an accurate
estimate of the relative strength Of the
parties in the assembly.

-FOUR RECENTLY COMMITTED.
Extraordinary Number of Lunatics
Arrested Lately.

James Bennett, colored, was arrested
and committed to jail yesterday as a lun-
attic, preliminary to his formal trial for
his unfortunate infirmlty. This will take
place as soon as the pressure of like bust
ness In the Court Of Ordinary will permit.
Bennett is the fourth unfortunate,
whose deranged and disordered intellect
has rendered 1t necessary to place in con-
finement, within the past two or three
weeks, in this city. The cause Of this cpl
demic of madness Is hard to find, though
IL is traced by some to the excessively
warm weather, that prevailed during the
earlier weeks of August and the effects
upon those whose occupations most eX-
posed them TO the fierce rays of the sun.
No other reasonable hypothesis can be
or has been urged.
The officers of the Court of Ordinary
remember no like record Of commitment
for lunacy. They are at equal loss with
others to ascribe cause and cannot mag
Inc what has gone wrong with the usual
ly hard-headed citizens Of the county. 1t
Is remarkable, # the sun theory be the
correct one, that three OF the four ar
rested as lunatcs should have been ne
groes, as it is commonly supposed that
the skulls of the negro race are sufficient
~ thick to enable them to Withstand even
its fercest rays, without percepubie in
jury or inconvenience. The condition of
affairs is altogether strange.

SCHOOLS WILL OPEN OCT. 2.
Report That the Fall Term Begins
sept. 10 n NistnIse.

An impression has got out in some way
that the public schools will open Sept. To-
Superintendent Otis Ashmore said yester-
day that he had received many inquiries
about it, parents having heard there vas
to be a change in the date of opening for
the fall term His reply has invariably
been that he knew Of no change, ordered
or contemplated and that the schools
will open Monday Oct. g. For some years
II has been customary to have the fan
term begin the first Monday in October
and this year there will be no deviation
from the custom.
Superintendent Ashmore is not yet able
to judge as to the increase in the number
Of pupils who will seek or gain admission
into the schools. He viii use every ef-
fort to provide accommodation for al,
though it is quite likely there will, as in
the past be a number who cannot secure
seats. Such has been the history Of every
school year. In the lower grades, espec-
tally, there has been a congestion. Inc
pupils accommodated have been crowded,
while many have been kept out owing TO
lack Of room.
1t will be in the lower grades that super
intendent Ashmore win endeavor to create
more room and provide for more children.
The Board of Education deplores its ma
bility to get all applicants places In the
school but extra efforts wiA be made TO
accommodate them all. II is quite prooa-
bic that the superintendent waiting list
will he smaller this term than heretofore.
Preparations for the opening are going
busily on. Repairs are in progress at all
the schools except the Henry and Ander-
son street buildings. Those are new ana
do not require work. The others are pc
ing nut In the best possible condition for
the opening. on. some of them the work
is rather extensive. Chatham Academy
Is being touched up by the board of trus-
tees. The Board of Education is spared
the expense. which is borne by the trus-
tees. AS there is much being done, the
expenditure will be considerable.

BROwN-PAskIT RELEASED.
Not Sufficient Evidence Upon which
TO Hold Him. al


Jacob Brown, alias Sam Paskie, who was
charged by Mrs. Paskie of New York with
being her refugee husband, was released
yesterday morning by Mayor Myers. The
Mayor concluded that there was no evil
dence upon which to hold Paskie.
While he had no doubt that the womau's
story was true she had no certificate or
other evidence that she had been married
in Germany. As the marriage 10 the Sa-
vannah wife took place in Detroit, the
crime, If any, was committed there. If the
woman be sincere in her desire TO bring
her wayward husband TO justice and can
produce the evidence to secure an indict-
ment in Detroit she can have Paskie or
Brown arrested on a warrant and secure
requlsition papers from the Governor Of
Michigan After having considered the
matter and taken the advice of the city
attorney, Mayor Myers concluded that it
was inadvisable to hold Brown any longer.
Mrs. Paskie and her son get no satisfac-
ton for their trip from New York in search
of the recreant husband and father, but
the Savannah wife is made happy by the
return of her husband Brown was ap-
parently very i'll when brought into court
yesterday, but soon recovered on learning
of his release.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Tuiccs.

On March 4. 1898. the Mutual Benefit Life
Insurance Company of Newark, N. J.,
issued a policy to Mr. Marion Twiggs Of
Augusta. Ca, who was quite well known
in Savannah, Ga. This policy was writ
ten upon the 20 payment Life Convertible
plan for $3.50. On Nov. 2, 1885, Mr..
Twiggs borrowed $40 upon the policy. The
policy lapsed for non-payment of premium
March T. 1897, there having been four
annual premiums paid. Notwithstanding
the non-payment of the premium, in 1897
the policy was extended under its mon
forfeiture provisions to March 81 1889.
In the meanwhile, sos had been added TO
the face of the policy by reason of the
additions purchased by the dividends. Mr..
Twiggs died in May 1898, and though the
Mutual Benefit received no notice of his
death until july 1S99 a check for 81 sos
was sent to Mrs. Twiggs, paying the claim
in full, the loan having been paid by ad-
ditonal dividends earned by the compa-
ny. The moral of all this Is that when
you take a life policy see that it contains
a provision for extended Insurance. so that
even though you may let your premiums
lapse, the policy will remain in force for
its full value for a stated length of time.
Any further particulars with reference to
this case will be cheerfully furnished by
Hopkins & Van Wagenen, agents for the
Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Company,

in a few weeks-come to Hicks to-day.
The most of us are going to be there.
Hicks picked the market yesterday, and,
my word for it, he is going to set the
best table in this city to-day.
A gentleman who ate at Hicks yester-
day said that he never ate such delicious
steaks. The secret of the matter is that
Hicks knows how to cook. First, how
ever, he gets the right kind of meats. a

STREETS WE'RE CROWDED.
Good Weather and Good Times Bring
Out the People.


Whether it was the advent of fan, ac-
cording TO the calendar, or the feeling Of
better times in prospect in the air, or the
more pleasant weather, or all three put
together, the large number of people on
the streets yesterday afternoon and last
night was generally commented upon.
There are usually good crowds out on
Saturdays. but yesterdays crowds were
larger than usual Many We're merely
strolling about enjoying themselves, but
there was evidently considerable business
going on, and the merchants generally
expressed their satisfaction at the state
of trade
Il tell you that Savannah is all right"
said well known young business man.
1--WE have had a good season this sum-
mer and a good trade this fall Is assured.
There is more money in Savannah now
than there has been any summer for sew
eTal years past
This expresses the general feeling OF
confidence among the business men as to
trade conditions The happy and care
flee manner of the crowds confirmed this
feeling of confidence upon the part of the
merchants.
