Omaha. Neb., Nov. S.-The latest
returns indicate that Nebraska has
taken a place in the republican coll
umn by a good majority. Mckinley
has carried the state by not less than
5000, the republican managers claim.
Complete returns have been received
from fifty of the ninety counties in the
state. which cast practically 100000
votes. leaving somewhere in the neigh
borhood of $4,000 to be accounted for.
In these counties Mckinley has ma
jority of 3.949. Four years ago Bryan
had a majority of S.SO7 in the same
counties. His plurality in the state is
thus practically wiped out by the gains
already made.
Regarding the state ticket, the re-
turns do not indicate so clearly the re-
suit, though Dietrich has made SUBJ
stantial gains over the vote for Hay
ward four years ago. and the prospects
are that he is elected along with the
rest of the ticket, though this Is not q
certainty. In the thirty-six counties
given complete he has a small plural
ity, while these same counties two
years ago have small plurality for
Poynter.
In the First and Second congression-
al districts the republican candidates
are assuredly elected. In the Third,
Fourth and Sixth districts the result is
in doubt, with the republican candi-
dates making a good showing, with
chances to win. In the Fifth Morlan

BY approximately twice the majority
of 1896 Douglas county Tuesday re-
newed it's allegiance to the republican
party. The majority in the city of
Omaha for the presidential candidate
was l,S4S but this was reduced by the
vote in South Omaha, where the fusion
candidate made unexpected gains-un-
expected alike by the managers Of both
parties. The result of this increase
was to bring the Omaha majority down
by 126 votes, leaving majority Of
Lit
Late last evening Edward Rosewater
said that the republican legislative
ticket had safely carried in this coun-
ty, and that steps had been taken to
prevent the fusionists from counting
them out. Fraud in South Omaha is
alleged, and the district Judges or
dered the ballots put in the hands Of
the canvassing board, which will make
the count. Mr.. Rosewater says there
is no doubt the republicans will con-
troll the next legislature and elect two
United States senators.
The returns from Douglas county for
the congressional ticket came in slowly
Wednesday,, but at no time was the
result in doubt. The campaign has
been waged with extreme warmth on
both sides. The total vote for Mr.
Mercer in the county is 1898; for his
opponent. 1906.
Compared with 1893 this is gain Of
295 votes for the republican candidate.

St. Louis, Nov. There seems no

have a majority but slightly smaller

Conflicting Claims.
Omaha. Neb.. Nov. 7.--(Associated
Press.)-The result in Nebraska is
close. The democrats claim Bryan car
| ries it by 5000 to 1000. The republic
ans claim Mckinley carries it by 5000.
| Many back precincts are yet to be
1 heard from. The democratic state tick
| ct is believed to be elected the vote
i running ahead of Bryan.
About SIS precincts out of 1911 have
been heard from. These show very
substantial republican gains. The re-
| publicans claim they will give McKin-
| ley majority. The democrats are
/ equally sure of the result. The changes,
i however, nave been SO diversified it is
almost impossible to make an estimate.
! With a corresponding result in the un-
reported precincts with those already
! received Mckinley will have u small
| plurality.
The legislature is also uncertain In
close counties out in the state the re-
| publicans have made material gains

TALLEsT OF LIVING MEN.
European Scientists Are Interested In
Rnsi1lnnE .,f ,Ii...,as..4.

European Scientists Are Interested In q
Resident of Minnesota.
Golden Penny: The biggest living
man is Lewis Wilkins, who is now
arousing great interest in the scientific
circles of Europe. Wilkins was born
on u farm near st. Paul, Mimi, in
1874. When he was but 10 years old
he measured six feet in height, and
now has grown TO the tremendous
height of 1914 inchesjust three quar-
tiers of an inch less than nine feet
and weighs 1854 pounds.
There have been other tall men and
women before Wilkins, and scientists
have striven in vain to account for
these freaks of nature. Only lately a
plausible story has been put forward
by a French physician, DIR. Marie, who
says that giantism is nothing more or
less than a disease. This disease gem
orally occurs in patients between the
ages of IS and 80, and is, first called
acromegaly from two Greek words
meaning enlargement of the extremi-
ties). If the patient is not attacked
until after he is Is, the ends of the
bones in the arms and legs are en-
larged and prolonged slightly, but If
this disease has attacked q child at
or soon after birth, giantism is the
result. Il III: IJSI-S tLIe llOlpHSSQ- SIll
along their length, grow unnaturally
and the result is a giant.
When you see a big man 1T is. there
fore, question whether he is unusual
ly strong or whether he is a sufferer
from acromegaly. All giants have not
been acromegalic, according to DR..
Marie. He mentions two giants in the
French army who did not belong to
this class. One was Charles Freut, a
cavalry soldier, who was six feet elev-
en- inches, and another was Marnat, a
drum major in the Nineteenth regi-
ment of infantry, Who measured six
feet nine inches.
Perhaps the greatest giant who ever
lived before Wilkins was Charles
Byrne, an Irishman. He measured
nine feet two inches. His skeleton is
still preserved, proving beyond ques-.
tion his enormous size. He was prob-s
ably acronlegalic.
Other giants We're Constantine, born
at Zurich, Switzerland, eight feet one
inch; Herold, born at Leipsic, seven
feet five inches, and Lady Emma.
eight feet one inch.
