Is most needed. The outlook for stock
men. sheep owners and other business
in Taos county Is very good this year.

Grand Army members everywhere

ed as delegates and ,alternates. Clos.
ing his order, he urges every member
and officer of every Iowa post to do
something for the growth of the order.
He calls attention to the fact that In
1891 the organization reached the high
water mark with 2O,324 soldiers in it;
and thai this year 1t has but 1924, a
loss of 8,100, of whom but 2,371 have
died. 1t is plain, he says, that the
comrades should do something to in.
crease the membership. This Is pos.
sible, also, when not to exceed half the
veterans are members of the Grand
Army. He suggests that every post
appoint committee to look after in
crease in membership and that each
member pledge himself to add an addi.
tional member before the next state
encampment.

BRYAN LOSES 1881 VOTES IN IOWA
The Total Vote PoIIed at the Recent
Election Is Larger Than Ever Be-
fore-TabIe Showing the Vote and
Gains In Each County.

Des Moines, Nov. 13.-Before clos
ing the republican state central com.
mittee headquarters Chairman Weaver
obtained complete unofficial returns
on the vote for Mckinley and Bryan in
each county of the state. While the
results did not quite substantiate the
claim of 100000 plurality for McKin-
ley, yet they show that the republican
party in Iowa stands in the front ranks
among all the states in the Union. The
total vote polled Is larger than ever be-
fore. The republicans polled 307,765
votes, a gain of 1912 over 1896, which
up to this time was the high water
mark. The Bryanites polled 2O3,S60
votes, loss of 1881 from their rec.
ord in 1896.
The net republican plurality is 9S,-
9G5 which is a gain of 1888 over Nc.
Kinley's plurality in Iowa four years
ago.
In 1896 Bryan carried the following
counties in the state: Carroll, Chicka-
saw, Crawford, Davis, Decatur, Du-
buque, Fremont, Harrison, jackson,
Johnson, Lee, Marion, Monona, Mon
roe, Shelby, Union and Wayne, a total
of seventeen counties. This year Bry-
an carried only seven counties: Craw-
ford, Davis, Dubuque, Fremont, John
/ son. Lee and Marion. while the other
ten were regained by the republicans.
In the ten counties which changed
from the democratic to the republican
column the returns show republican
gain of 1853 votes and a democratic
loss of 1889, making net republican
gain in these counties of 5,60s, while
In the seven counties which the demo
Gratis carried there was a net republi-
can gain of $40 votes as compared with
1896. OF the counties which were re-
deemed by the republicans, Carroll
shows a republican gain of 382 and a
democratic loss 1913; Chickasaw, re-
publican gain ITO, democrats loss 20;
Decatur, republican gain 1876, demo

| Polk county shows the largest net
republican gain OF any county in the

ed. Mr.. Burnett grew suddenly worse
on Monday and began sinking in the
afternoon.
It was about Q o'clock in the after
noon when they told him that he
could not get well and that the end
was near. He received the news
calmly and resignedly and testified to
his faith in the deathless quality Ut
the soul. His last hours will always
be recalled as remarkable by those
few close friends who were present.
He was conscious to within half an
hour of the separation of body and
spirit. DR.. Brush, the pastor of the
Methodist church, called on him and
short service of prayer was held.
He talked of his business matters
and made all arrangements for his
leaving almost as calmly as tho he
We're seated at his desk. His strong
attachment for his friends developed
during these few memorable hours,
when he left messages for many Of
them and gave the last parting words
to those who surrounded him. He In
quired for his brother, j. P. Burnett,
whom he knew was on his way here
from ST. Louis; and when told that he
would arrive at o'clock he exclaim-
ed THAT will be too late" An effort
was made to sustain his life until that
hour. He spoke Of his father, who is
80 years of age, and said that his
death would be hard blow to him.
Mr.. Burnett had been married twice.
He was first married in Sparta, ILL.,, in
1881 his first wife dying five years ago.
Three years ago he was again married
and leaves a wife and one child, a
boy year and half old. His broth

ACCIDENT AT UNION DEPOT.
Stranger Narrowly escaped Death b,
Falling From a Burlington Train.


Falling From Burlington Train.
Prom tuesdays Daily.
A terrible accident was narrowly
averted this afternoon at the Union de.
pot as Burlington No. 6, the Chicago
flyer, was pulling out of the station.
A drunken man whose name could not
be learned, attempted to board the
train next to the rear coach as it pull.
ed by him. No. twas about ten min
utes late and was pulling out very rap.
Idly. and when the man attempted to
reach the lower steps of the coach, his
foot slipped and he fell beneath the
platform. With a death-like grip, he
fastened his hands to the railing on
the end of the car, and held on until of,
ticer Black ran up alongside the train
and pulled him from under the wheels.
BY this time the train had been stop,
ped, and the officer placed the man on
board and sent MIN on his way. The
wheels of the car scraped the shoes
of the man as he was dragged along
the track, and had 1t not been for the
prompt assistance of Officer Black, he
would undoubtedly have been ground
to pieces.
