ELECTION RIOT IN DENVER.
One Deputy Sheriff Killed and Four
Injured.


Denver. Col, Nov. 6.-Before a
ballot was cast in Denver to-day the
trouble between the police depart
ment and the sheriff's Office, which
had been predicted, had begun, and
one man dead and five seriously in
jured was the result.
Fifteen hundred special policemen
had been sworn in for the day, and
about 1000 special deputy sheriffs.
At { o'clock Special Policemen Chas.
F. Carpenter and Green were sent to
Twenty-second and Larimer streets,
to supervise the opening OF the polls
in District H, Precinct 4. Several
deputies were present.
Orders had been issued by the fire
and police board to refuse to recog-
nize the authority of these deputies,
and arrest any who in any way inter
ferred with the police instructions.
Under these instructions Officer
Carpenter ordered the deputies to re-
tire 100 feet from the polls. Hamp-
SOll 81 dChSoIl. COIoiCd, ACoiSCCd, tsiN
drawing a revolver, began shooting.
One bullet struck Carpenters arm
and second his foot. Policeman
Green came to the rescue of his com
panion, striking Jackson on the
head and arm, fracturing his skull
and breaking his arm. The blow
broke the heavy oak club the officer
carried.
Shooting by the deputies became
general, while the special police, who
were armed only with clubs, were at
disadvantage.
At this moment City Detective Ed
Carberry ran up and opened fire with
his revolver, killing Deputy Sheriff
John G. Branford, colored, with the
! first shot.
A score of shots were fired by the
deputies, and Detective Carberry and
Deputies Stewart Harvey and Rich
ard Hardiman, both colored, were
shot, the former in the right shoulder
and the latter in the left arm. 1t Il
not known whose bullets wounded
them. Special Policeman Green was
shot in the back None of these are
fatally wounded.
Branford, the man killed, has serv-
ed time in the penitentiary and i
said to have killed a man some time
ago.
The feeling created by the affair is
intense.

rsmolexiou of Next House of Repre-
sentatives Still in Doubt.
The Kansas City Times, on Wednes-
/ day morning, sums up the situation
sfollows:
Early returns indicated a sweeping
victory for Mckinley and Roosevelt,
and as more complete figures become
abtainable this was confirmed.
New York is claimed by the repub-
eans by 10000 and conceded by
hading democrats at 100000.
New Jersey has recordeda plurality
d over 10000 for the republican
nominees.
Illinois will cast it's electoral vote
/ ior Mckinley, although party Lead
srs declare the democratic candidate
for governor has been elected.
Nebraska is still in doubt and
claimed by both parties.
Indiana remains debatable, with
chances favoring the republicans.
Kentucky is not conceded by dem
ocrats, although republicans claim
to have carried the state by q solid
plurality.
Ohio remains in the republican col
umn.
In the far west Colorado went dem
oeratie, but California was lost to
them.
Il was from the east that great
surprises came. Bryan's wonderful
record of wiping out plurality o
$1,000 against him in Greater New
York and marking up one for HIM
self OF %, 900 was Indicative of th'
great work done by the Nebraskal
N his eastern campaign.
At midnight the probable vote il
the electoral college was estimated
10 be very near that of 1896. Ii an.
change is made it will probably be IL
favor OF Mckinley and Roosevelt.

What Would You Give

To be cured of catarrh? If you or
your friends have this disease, you
know how disagreeable it is. Its
symptoms are intiamed eyes, throb
bing temples, ringing noises in the
ears, headaches, capricisus appetite,
and constant discharge OF mucus
Fortunately it's cure is not a question
of what You will give. but what you
will take. If you will take Hood $
Sarsaparilla, the great constitutions
al remedy, which thoroughly puri-
fies, enriches and vitalizes the blood,
you may expect to be completely

blood which Hoods Sarsaparilla
makes, reaching the delicatepassages

Rev. F. II. Meyer to speak at Northneld.

vitality connected with Northfelds con-
ferences is the name of Rev. f. b. Meyer,
pastor of Christ church, Westminster,
London. His life of unnaggng zeal and
untiring service at home has made it hard
for him TO break away from his flock for
such length of time as was necessary for
him to visit Mortified but he has always
been able to arrange matters satisfactorily,
and again he is to visit Mortified, where
he is expected and waited for with sa much
anticipation as would move his own con-
gregation.
And why2 Because he is so intensely
human. Because he understands human
nature so thoroughly and knows his God
so well that he is able to bring the two to-
gether in way such as few men can.
Many years ago, when Mi. Moody first
visited England, Mr.. Meyer, then pastor
in York, was stirred with the desire to
reach the masses, and, as Mr.. Moody
tersely put ii, "went to work" The re-
suits are seen in the way he has been used
of God on both sides of the Atlantic. On
his last tour in the United States he ad
dressed over 100000 people.
Mr.. Meyer has been busy with pen as
well as with tongue and has written over
30 books. Perhaps the most widely known
among his works are "Old Testament
Heroes" and "The Shepherd Psalm" All
his works are marked by cearness and
simplicity that enable the youngest to en-
joy him, and withal an earnestness that
goes straight to the mark.
In his addresses he is concise and unde-
Waiting, happy in apt illustration and story,
seldom failing to arrest the attention of his
audience and carry the truth home to their
hearts His life has been one long mis-
sion. He has been hand in glove with
Mr.. Moody and his work since 1878, and
has, through the agency of the Keswick
conferences in England, been the means of
much blessing to his own countrymen.
