gave him nearly 18,000 as against 9,796
for lowering. Robert FL. Patton, candi-
date for states attorney in Sangamon
county, polled $500 votes. -. The Nevada
election law requires the signatures Of ten
per cent of the voters In order to put the
ticket of a minority party on the official
ballot. This fact DISTINGUISHED the Pro-
hibitionists of that state. -. California
made splendid gain and would have done
still better had not the people Of that
state heen so anxious to sell its products
to the Pacific islands. -. While Indiana
Quadrupled its vote, the state committee
intimates that many votes cast for Woolley
were not counted. An investigation is un-
der way.
Our gain in Texas was made in the face
Of decrease Of 100000 in the total vote
of that state. .....In January Chairman
Clayton, Of Wisconsin, will begin holding
county conferences. The Meneley Trio has
been engaged for January, March and
April. In February they will visit Wash

Many great meetings were held in this
state. Again and again larger audiences
greeted our speakers than heard the old
party orators. In a number Of instances
we were compelled to turn away the peo-
pie by the hundreds. The people are GER

The Advance Has Begun.

Before the ballots were counted on Nov.
9Th, the Prohibition party was in the field
holding meetings to arouse and educate
the people against the saloon. Those
who had voted for full dinner pail, at
the expense of clean conscience and Of
q sober nation, were reminded of 1t before
they knew the result of the election, and
those who had cast their ballots for con-
stftutional protection for our wards in the
Philippine Islands, were reminded of the
fact that our own citizens and our own
homes were denied protection from the
ravages Of the liquor traffic in our own
country.
Mr.. Leedy has been stirring up the
eastern part of the Third district. Mr..
Elan, the aggressive organizer for the
First district, has been in the field con-
tinuously since election. The Satterlee
Trio is making a raid through the southern
tier of counties, arousing enthusiasm for
the cause and admiration for their popular
programs. The Meneley Concert Company
Of Chicago, has been singing every night
since 1t entered the state on the 3rd day
OF October, not excepting election night.
Secretary Calderwood reports that the de-
mand for speakers and entertainers who
will arouse antagonism against the saloon
was never more active, and that the win
ter's campaign will be more aggressive
and effective than any ever yet prosecuted
under the auspices Of the party in this
state.

last week, became known when the firms
petition in bankruptcy was filed in the
United States District Court. 1t shows
liabilities of S1O5. .I77.63. and assets OF s1O,-

Of paper and accounts due the firm, il is

There was not l cent in the banks

owned. The depOsitOrs are poor people.
chiefly employed in the carpet mills OF
ThomsOnville. and the money deposited
was all some Of them had in the world.

JEFFRIEs-CoRBETT MILL.
The PuGiIists Have Difficulty in Sc
IecIInE q battle-ground.

NEW YORK, Feb. 6.-Should George
Considine cling to the statement which he
made after a meeting with BIZ Brady. at
;he latter's Office. there is danger OF The
contest between Jim Jeffries and Jim Cor
bett being declared of. Considine does
not want his man TO fight In California.
while on the other hand Brady prefers the
Pacific Coast to any other locality. When
the bids were opened on last Thursday
night by Al Smith both Cousidine and
Brady were unable TO agree on some OF
the offers received. The two best bids
came from the Carnival Company and the
National Athletic Club. Of San Francisco.
When Considine and Brady met the sc end
time the latter had in his possession a
telegram from ]. d. Gibbs. the head o; the
National Club. to the effect that his club
mates would agree to increase their origi-
nal ofTer to 10 per cent Of the receipts.
Brady also admitted that the bid which he
made for the fight. which was Sc % per
cent OF the gross receipts, and which was
accompanied by a certified check for 81
500. was in the interest Of club in San
Francisco. Brady further said that he is
one OF the stockholders in the organiza-
ton. Considine thought that the offers OF
the Broadway and Seaside Clubs. Will h
were so per cent, respectively, were the
best Then be made the following state
ment:
Under no circumstance will Corbett
fight at San FTanriscC. The East is good
enough for us and we can get more money
here than elsewhere. The Carnival Com
pany does not exist. and the other bids
from San Francisco we're put In simply to
induce Corbett TO go West and fight in that
city. The fight will nave to take place in
the East or nowhere. That's all there is
to it
Brady said that if the pugilists make
up their minds to accept the clubs offer,
he viii increase Nis forfeit of S2.5OO TO
$1,000. and let the ame go TO the men
if he fails to pull on the mill. Brady and
