sHAw's PROBABLE PLURALITY IN IOWA
Des Moines, Ia, Nov. S.-Returns
from AT precincts or about one-ffth OF
the state, show that Gov. Shaw, repub-
lican, received 5S,5S7, and White, dem.
ocrat, 1852. The same precincts two
years ago gave Shaw 51,O45; White,
4l,974. Net republican gain, 5000, or a
little more than IA to the precinct. The
same ratio if kept up, will give Shaw
plurality Of about 10000. Chairman
Weaver claims Shaw's election by
$1,000.
SMALL VOTE IN SOUTH DAKOTA.
Aberdeen, y. D., Nov. S.-Chairman
Herrer, of the republican state central
committee, says:
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 1t is. we will car
ry the state by at least 5000 majority.
Two hundred and twenty-four pre-
cincts in the state give republicans 1901;
fusionists, 5,776; clearly indicating a
republican majority Of 10000.
NEW JERSEYS REPUBLICAN PLURALITY.
Trenton, N. j.. Nov. S.-The returns
at midnight indicate that the repub-
licans have carried the state by about
10000 plurality, although there was no
direct vote on state ticket. The re-
publicans will control both houses Of
the legislature by good working major
tiles, and will have an increased repre-
sentation in the house Of assembly.
RESULT IN MASSACHUSETTS,
Boston, Nov. S.-Returns from $50
cities and towns out ofs35S give Crane,
republican, 1853 S5S; Paine, democrat,
1888 The same towns in 1898 gave
Wolcott republican. 1911, 1873; Bruce,
democrat, 1917 The republicans,
therefore, have carried the state by
65,O57. The result shows net repub-
lican loss Of Is, i27
REPUBLICANS CARRY PENNSYLVANIA.
Philadelphia, Nov. S.-Estimates
from all of the counties in the sta:.
indicate Barnett's (rep.) plurality over
Greasy (dem.) to be 125,4SS. In some
counties the estimates were necessarily
based on meager information and COM
plete returns may change the figures
here given.
DEMOCRATS WIN IN MISSISSIPPI.
Jackson, Miss, Nov. S.-The entire
democratic state ticket is elected by a
majority codservatively estimated at
10000. The populist vote shows de-
cided falling off, which will probably
amount to 80 per cent.
DEMOCRATIC TICKET WINS IN DENVER.
Denver, Col, Nov S,-Yes'erday's
election has resulted in complete vic
tory for the democratic ticket in this
(Arapahoe) county by plurality of
from 5000 to 5000, and possibly by a
clear majority.

BURNED OUT
Mrs. Frank Mains Home Goes up in
Smoke,


What was at one tinle Mrs. F.
Mains elegant home is now a mass Of
black ruins a.-s ~, ,,s.s~
Thursday morning about 2 o'clock
persons living near the Main residence
on. Cayon street, saw blames rising
from the back of the house and sound
cd an alarm which soon caused lar
crowd to gather, who did all they could
to save tho building and valuable con
tents but with little success as the back
put of the building and the roof were
already on fire and only few pieces
of the handsome furniture were rescu-
rod from the flames which spread with
remarkable rapidity.
The house was an old one, perhaps
fully covered by insurance, but the
contents could not have been bought
for any price and the lose to Mrs
Main is great.
The cause of the fendish deed may
never he known for no one was occu
plying the house at the time, Mrs
,lain being away from home, and all
trace of the perpetrators was wiped
out by the total destruction of every
thing that would barn.
We join the entire community in
expressing sympathy for Mrs. Main i'll
the loss of her elegant home and hope
the party or parties who did the deed
will be captured and dealt with as
the law requires
