School Notes.

Examinations are almost finished and
the report cards will be out Monday.
The ranks are matter of conjecture.
Harry Sampson visited the high school
Monday and Wren Graham Tuesday.
Both are we'll remembered as graduates
of the school. They are students at
Cornell college and came home to swell
the vote for Mckinley.
High school students were specially
invited to attend DIR. Marshalps mission
airy lecture Monday evening and many
were present.
Gene Schouboe was enrolled in the
second grade this week.
Money is being raised to purchase a
new school flag. The old one is consid-
erably tattered and torn. 1t was waiv-
ing on election day.
At the teachers meeting Monday
evening after school, the high school
teachers made their report of the South
western Iowa Teachers meeting. 1t
was greatly praised.
1t is with the tin horn that political
converts are made over at the school
house. Many are the rhymes to be heard
relative to the merits and futures of the
respective candidates.
Miss Daisy Grow, of West Union a
friend'of Mrs. Carmichael, visited the
different rooms OF the school during the
music period Monday.
Lavisa Overholtzer is taking B
Geology.
Prof. Hooker has for some time past
been having trouble with boys outside OF
the school who smoked on the grounds
and sometimes interferred with the
games. One of these young men was rode
on rail from one end of the yard to the
other Tuesday. This shows the loyalty
of the students to Mr.. Hooker.

Letter From China

The following letter was written by
Peter Jensen who formerly lived with
John Cameron of Lincoln township, but
who is now soldier in our regular army
in China, to Mr.. Cameron:
Pekin, China, Sept 7, 1900.
Mr.. John Cameron:
I received your letter few days ago
ahd am glad to hear that every thing is
all right back there. We are not having
a picnic here, we have pretty hard times
We have had plenty to do hunting for
boxers since we came here aud by the
looks of things we will keep it up all
winter.
We have had two little scraps and in
one of them the bullets whistled pretty
close around me but | was not hit.
When we made the charge they could
not hold their trenches and they ran in
all directions. I am not sorry joined
the army as long as l am well. There
are many sick with dysentery. The
water has to be boiled before we can
drink it but sometimes we don't wait for
that. When man rides in the hot sun
all day without anything to eat or drink
he don't want to wait to boil the water.
1 tell you, most anything is good then.
Well I will quit for this time. I have
not missed roll call vet,

Obituary..

G. w. Sutton died at the home of his
daughter, Mrs. Samuel Shoup, of this
city, October, 30 after an illness of
eleven weeks. The funeral was held last
Thursday, Nov. l, at the Baptist church,
conducted by Rev. McSparran pastor of
the Christian church, assisted by Rev.
Hinkhouse pastor of the Presbyterian
church of this place, G. W. Sutton was
born in Saline county, ILL.,, February q,
1918. At the age Of nineteen he moved
to Sangamon county, ILL.,, and in 1889
was married to Ada Smith of that place
Nine children was born to them, seven
girls and two boys Six of whom are
living. Four OF them, Mrs. Samuel
Shoup and Mrs, H S Sayton, OF this
place, Mrs. J. H. johnson, of Lincoln
aud Mr. W. p. Sutton, OF Griswold were
at his bed, side at the time of his death
Mr. Sutton united with the Christian

No national administration has re-
ceived such magnificent endorsement
during the life of the present political
parties as our honored statesman,
President Mckinley, did Tuesday at
the polls. 1t seems every state in the
north except Colorado and Montana
voted to sustain him, unless it is
Bryan's home state, Nebraska, and
Idaho, and the probabilities are we
have them. We have all we had four
years ago unless it is Kentucky, and we
have several additional states. McKin-
ley will likely have about 300 electoral
votes.
1t seems we have the lower house of
congress by from 40 to 80, even more
than the most sanguine expected,
Iowa did herself proud by beating her
greatest previous record and rolled up
alb out 10000 republican majority. Iowa
again sends an unbroken delegation to
congress. The voluble Vollmer was
pushed aside with a majority of over
1000 by the gallant Capt. Rumple and
Lacey had over 1000 in the Sixth.
Judge Smith has nearly 1000 majority
which is good enough for him for q
starter.
Audubon county broke all previous
records and rolled up a majority of 52l
for the party of prosperity and progress
A table appears in this paper which
shows the vote in 1896 and 1899 fol
comparison, and the vote in full and
detail in this county. The entire re,
publican ticket was elected and every
township went republican. That was
a victory quite complete. A. F. Green,
waldt leads the ticket with 538, running
ahead of Mckinley. He deserves his
popularity.
Neils Heogh comes next with 46f
majority. He got fine endorsement
all over the county. In his home town
ship he would likely have run further
ahead of his ticket only he had worked
altogether for his party and his asso,
ciates on the ticket.
Let" Hill came third with the good
majority of 800 in spite of the active
opposition of few in his own party.
They did not accomplish much. Per,
sonal abuse in campaign mostly fails
to accomplish much.
o. G. Donaldson came in safely with
274 majority. The democratic boast
had been freely made that he would be
defeated all because of the nationality
of his opponent. 1t is greatly to the
credit of the Danish republicans that
their leaders stood up like men for the
straight ticket.
Fred Blume had the hardest fight
and ran the narrowest escape, only
getting in with 14S. Graham was
democracy's most adriot leader here
and had the support of the party. The
Hill attack was supposed to have been
tactical move in Graham's interest to
divert attention away from Graham,
and it practically succeeded but also

MCKINLEY ABOUT 800 ELECTORAL VOTES
Majority County
Elected Every Township Republican.

dragged in Graham, and worsted him
slightly. Blume did we'll considering
he had second termer and the demo
cratic favorite to combat.
The townships of Douglas, Extra
and Sharon deserve the most credit for
gains. Audubon township also did
exceedingly well. Cameron and Lin
coin republican leaders also deserve
great credit. Indeed there was scarce
ly locality in the county but the
republicans were alive to their duty.
We also desire to express obligations
to number of men who regarded their
duty to country and public and to
themselves superior to their party ties,
and for the first time came over and
helped US.
Perhaps the biggest republican gains
in the county were among the Danish
people. They show their intelligence
in their refusal to be scared by lies
about militarism and imperialism
They know which party to trust. The
Germans also gave us good gains and
deserve the thanks of the party.
The democrats scarcely elected any
township officers in the county. Elk
Sheriff Hamp Jones was beaten fol-
clerk by Sam Gardner down in Greeley
Leroy township elected a straight re
publican ticket. Although hard fight
was made on Elliott for Justice he re
ceived over twenty majority. Hamlir
elected the entire republican ticket ex
cept on trustee H Young and P. Madser
tied. The democrats elected an asses
sor in Melville, one in Extra, most O.
the Viola township ticket and roat
supervisor or something somewhere
else, for which the Advocate will prob
ably crow.
The ''silent vote" was there and il
was with us. There wasa land slide
and it slid our way. The democrats
say they can stand it and we think
they can. They say perhaps the re
public will not change to an empire
right away. The republicans are
wondering which of them are to be
the dukes and lords and princes.
One of the features of the campaign
in this county was the boy orator from
Nebraska University who assisted the
Advocate on editorial work and made
speeches at the country school houses
quoting Bryan, Braun, Shakespeare
and Ingersoll without quotation marks
or credit, and also announced that
next year he would not drive from
meeting to meeting but intended tc
speak from the rear platform of pal
ace car. The republicans are now
figuring how many such speakers il
would have taken to have made the
county unanimous for Mckinley.
Since election republicans are Joy
full but not boistrous. People are as
busy and quiet as though no very great
event had happened. That is the way
we Americans apply self government

Des Moines, Nov. with limited

plurality in Iowa will, it is thought,
be $4,000. The entire congressional
delegation in the state Is Republican
and Democratic losses are reported in
nearly every county.
Des Moines, Nov. Tt Is apparent
that Iowa is Republican by 100000
and that solid delegation Of IL Re-
publicans will be sent to Washington.
Because of the late closing of the polls
all over the state, o'clock, bat 623 out
Of 2,137 precincts in the state have
been heard from. These give McKin-
ley 299,707 and Bryan 205,S42, a net
Republican gain Of 20 to a precinct.
If this ratio is maintained, and there Is
little doubt it will be, McKinley's plu-
rality will be 100000, the largest on
record in the state. In 1896 McKin-
ley's plurality in Iowa was 65.552.
Chairman Weaver says: Iowa Is
Mckinley by over 100000 and we have
elected all the congressman. Rumple,

cede the state to Mckinley by $4,000.

The entire Republican state ticket is
elected by the largest pluralities ever
rolled up in Iowa.

been cast all over the state. The re-
