MAINE ELECTION SHOWS. A sAPIsa
FACTORY GAIN FOR THE
BRYAN COHORTS
ALSO A REPUBLICAN Loss
Democratic Representation In the
Legislature VIII Be Increased
by Few Members as
Another Result.

PORTLAND, Me-, Sept. 1O.-Carrytng
out its traditions of many years with
but one break, Maine went Republican
IN the state election today with good
oldtime majority. The entire state tick
ct is returned, with four congressman
and great majority in the legislature.
There was every incentive for voting
The campaign had been a spirited one,
but the vote was not quite as heavy as in
1885, but exceeded that of the 1898 cleo
ton by many thousands, and the man
ayers of both parties, when the RETURNS
from different towns came in, felt that
they were fully repaid for their strenu-
Gus efforts of the past four weeks. Tho
Democrats gained considerable satisfac.
ton from the earlier returns, showing
as they did a gain in four years of from
Is to 20 per cent. This increase over thu
1896 vote did not apply to any particular
locality, but seemed to be general
throughout the state
The Republicans, however, had rather
discounted the falling off in the vote foI
the Maine ticket from that of 1896, and
the managers were not at all surprised
at an apparent loss of II per cent, which
was shown by the returns of the first
$50 towns. The entire ticket headed by
John P. Hill, of Augusta, for governor,
was, of course, elected, as were all four
district; Littlefield, in Dingley's old dis
trict; Burleigh in the Third, and Bou-
telle in the Fourth.
The campaign throughout the state, exc
cept perhaps in Cumberland county. was
fought entirely on national issues. In
Cumberland county, with Portland as a
center, there was fought one of the most
interesting contests in the state. 1t was
based on the liquor law, its enforcement
or it's nonenforcement, the Republicans
representing the latter and q Prohibition
candidate the former issue. The fight
was bitter one.
Returns to 10 o'clock tonight indicated
that the r'rohibitionists had landed their
candidate for sheriff. Samuel Pearson, OF
this city.
AS to the legislature, there were few
Democratic gains This body will meet
in January and re-elect w. P. Frye to
the United States senate.
Returns from 240 towns and plantations
out of S12 in the state, give Hill "a, CAB;
Lord, S0,252. Same places four years ago
gave Powers Rep.) 6o,574, and Frank
Dem) 24,7S4. This shows Republican
loss Of II per cent and a Democrats gain
of 10 per cent On this basis it is estimate
ed ha he Republican majority this year
will be about 1880.

TWO THOUSAND DEAD.
Narrowing Tales Are Being Told by
Survivors.

HOUSTON, Tex, Sept 10.-A scene OF
desolation and death. not only at Calves
ton, but at many points in Texas, is the
condition presented today as result Of
Saturdays storm. Estimates of the num-
Der of dead are placed between 1,500 and
2,6eO The property loss will aggregate
many millions Of dollars, although no ac-
curate figures can be given at present.
The streets of Galveston are mostly un-
der water; wires are in hopeless tangle,
and dead bodies are thickly strewn among
floating debris. No complete list of dead
is obtainable until the water recedes.
Narrowing tales Of the loss Of whole
families and many miraculous escapes are
told by the few survivors who have thus
far reached this city. The relief trains
which arrived here early this morning
have been the only means of communica-
ton with the storm-swept Galveston,
and definite information as to the present
situation is scarce. The cotton and rice
crop throughout the district devastated
by the storm is badly damaged in many
places and in others totally destroyed. Re-
ports from Richmond, Tex; Letitia and
Eagle Lake bring additional lists of dead
and property losses, and many places cut
off from communication are yet to be
heard from.

Breaking n Colt.

II you have ever seen a little colt
running after his mother in the mead
ows you know how very funny he
looks. He has long legs that seem very
crooked and uncertain. for they point
IN all four directions at once. He has
no manc to speak of, and only a stubby
little tail. His coat is very rough, for
he has never been rubbed down with q
brush, and though you might look at
him a great many times, you would
never believe that he could grow into
such a big. strong, handsome horse as
his owner tells you that he will become
some day.
The most important day in a colts
life is when he first learns to carry a
burden upon his back. A small lap
robe is strapped upon him. and he is
let loose, to tear up and down the fields
and shake it off IL he can. Then a
double blanket is strapped across him
like a saddle. and after a while he can
bear the weight OF the saddle itself.
and then the weight of boy. Shooting
him is very troublesome. for he often
refuses to walk after IL, and will roll
around on his back, holding his feet up
in the air in the most pitiful way. as II
he did not know what to do with his
new shoes. Teaching him to back" is
accomplished by hitching a team to the
back Of the wagon to which Mr.. Colt
is harnessed. At the word back" some
one starts up the team from behind ard
Mr.. Colt is"backed" until he learns the
use Of the word. His training is not
very pleasant for him. But II he is q
bright, intelligent horse he will learn
all there is to learn within a year after
he has got his growth, or by the time
he is three years old. He will then be
very frisky and inclined to be scared
at trifles. But IL he is shown just what
they are he usually changes his mind
and behaves in a sensible way. Train
ing a colt is easier than training any
other animal, because the horse Is nat
uarIly the most intelligent Of all dumb
animals.-Selected.
