Des Moines, Nov.s AT late hour
this morning over 700 precincts had
heen heard from and these gave
Shaw net gain of little over ii
votes to the precinct. If this ratio is
maintained, Shaw's net gain for the
state will be something like 90 900 and
this added to his plurality of 90, 1915
received in 1897. will give him a total
plurality of about SO, 900 The country
precincts seem to be showing great
er gain for Shaw than the city pre-
nets, and as very many of the re-
turns are from the cities, 1T is believed
that the ratio of gain will be increas-
ed if anything.
Chairman Huffman, of the Demo-
cratic state central committee, con-
cedes the state by 10000, Shaw's
plurality in 1897 was %, s76.
The indications are that the Repub-
lican vote has decreased 10 per cent,
while the Democratic vote has fallen
off 81 per cent. 1t was cloudy and
rainy day in Iowa, but when the peo-
pie of Iowa are called upon to show
their loyalty the elements cannot

REVIVAL SERVES.
Great Interest Being Manifested
at Stone Chapel.

fhe members and friends of the
Christian Church are reioiced over
the good services of Sunday. Fine
audiences created the pastor morn
ing and evening. At the evening
servise the auditorium, gallery and
lecture room were filed with people
who listened intently to a sermon
upon Belshazzar's Feast, ''Thou art
weighed in the balances and found
wanting"
Secretary Lacy assisted the pastor
in the evening service and a large
chorus choir sang inspiring songs.
After the sermon eleven people took
their stand upon the side of Christ.
This is the close of the first weeks
services and 16 have thus far accept.
ed Christ and the feeling is that the
good work is just begun.

BIG PASSENGER BUSINESS

Incoming passenger travel to Birmingham
continues to increase over that of outgoing
business, and the employees and passenger
men who spend considerable time around
the union passenger st alton say ii is very
little trouble to discern tne difference,
which is largely in favor of the gradual
Increase in the population of Birmingham.
The passenger business OF che roads at
this point is on the increase, and while
they are increasing their own individual
business, Birmingham is deriving vast
benefit, from the fact that new residents
are being continually brought into This
city.
One of the employees at the union depot
whose business keeps him continually in
touch day and night with the travelling
public, said yesterday concerning this in
crease:
You can see 1T with your own eyes if
you paid as much attention to the incom-
ing and outgoing crowds as l do. You can
stand around these gates any day in the
week and see plenty of strangers come in
who never go away. It's easy for me to
see it, and l don't keep any calculated rec
ords, either

arrived here last night route through

In speaking of railroad matters, he mad
the following to say: Business with the
railroads throughout the south was never
better, at least in the territory L nave been
over in the past few months, and that in
cludes the most of the southeast. While
the passenger business is heavy, the freight
business is the real thing now, and the only
thing you can hear in that department is
more cars The roads are practically
stealing rolling stock from one another and
at the same time trying to keep their own
cars on their own line. There is big
Shortage in equipment in she freight line,
and the only reason that there is not more
BUSINESS than the already enormous amount
moving is because of the fact that cars
cannot be had

passenger rolling stock, and were designed
purely for the comfort of the patrons of
this splendid system.
