Examination day is a very busy day
The scholars try to do lots of work in
a thort time. some in trying to do the
work become ratified and that accounts
for some of the mistakes made.
In one of the examinations the ques-
ton was asked Z. how are coral islands
formed?" One of the answers was:
Coral islands are made of litCle bugs
that look like bag with the opening
for its mouth 1t eats bugs, shrubs etc
until it becomes SO full it cannot digest

The Bolivar bulletin. (Bolivar, Tenn.) 1888-1946, 1900-11-09

Four years ago, Bryan received
in the Fifteenth District one humid
red and tLirty-six votes, Mckinley
one hundred and fourteen votes.
In the same district last Tuesday,
Bryan received one hundred and
forty votes, Mckinley one hundred,
showing a democratic gain and a
republican loss. This district is
the home of Capt. w. G. Pirtle,
chairman of the County Executive
Committee, who deserves the thanks
of all democrats for his faithful and
untiring efforts in the interest of
the party, exerted not alone in his
own district, but throughout the
county. lie had the able and valu-
able assistance of Mr.. J. A. Wilson,
Jr., Secretary of the Committee,
upon whom much of the work of the
campaign devolved.

THE STATE.

Nashville, Nov. 1.-The
returns from yesterday
election continue to come in
in scattered shape, but at
democratic headquarters it is
estimated that Bryan will
have 10000 against 10000
thrown for Mckinley. They
also figure that McMillin will
lead Bryan about five thous-
and votes, having one hun
dred and thirty-fve thousand
to a hundred thousand for
Mccall.
In the cities the gold dem
ocrats supported McMillin
and either voted for McKin-
ley or did not vote at all.
This is a decrease in the
democratic vote something
like twenty-five thousand,
and about forty-five thousand
less than the republicans cast
in 1896. The factional fight
between the republicans and
the indifference of the negro
vote seems to have practical
ly destroyed the republican
vote in the state.
The legislature will stand
about as it did two years ago
when there were one hum
dred and five democrats and
twenty-eight republicans. 1t
is possible there will be a |
gain of one or two by the re-
publicans.
The impression among
democrats here who will talk
is that Bryan's insistence
upon silver at Kansas City, |
and his position upon the
question of retaining the
Philippines were responsible
for his defeat by such an
overwhelming majority.

ELECTION
News.

A telegram from New York
to the Commercial Appeal,
sent at midnight Tuesday,
tells the tale as follows:
1t became evident at a very
early hour this evening that
the election of Mckinley and
Roosevelt was assured. At
half-past 8 o'clock returns
from nearly two-thirds of the
election districts of Greater
New York had been received,
indicating beyond question
that Bryan and Stevenson
could not expect more than
%, 900 or 80, 900 plurality in
this democratic stronghold,
and unless there was a land
slide in the outside counties
beyond all reasonable expec-
tatiOn, the pivotal State of
New York had declared in
unmistakable terms, although
by greatly reduced MAORI
ty, for the republican can
didate.
The returns from Illinois
betrayed a like condition.
On the other hand, the re-
turns from Indiana, Michi-
gan, the two Dakotas, Utah
and Wyoming, as we'll as
Nebraska, seemed to indicate
strong republican gains over
1896. Delaware, Maryland
and West Virginia had given
decisive republican plural
tiles.
The count in the far West
ern States was naturally so
delayed as to give little indi-
cation of the outcome there,
but they had ceased to have
a determining effect, and be-
fore 10 o'clock the demo-
cratic leaders had given up
the contest and it was an
nounce that Mr.. Bryan had
gone to bed and was sound
asleep. The West story was
easily and briefly told. The
ticket would have
a larger electoral vote than
four years ago, but in the
larger States of the East and
West the pluraIities
had been greatly reduced.
Massachusetts, had fallen
from $4,000 to $4,000, New
York from 260,OOO to 1876, 900
and Illinois from $4,000 to
or less.
The roll call of the States
ut this hour is apparently as
follows:

To remove a troublesome corn or
bunion: First soak the corn or bun
ion in warm water to soften it, then
pare it down as closely as possible
without drawing blood and apply
Chamberlain Pain Balm twice
daily; rubbing vigorously for five
minutes at each application. A
corn plaster should be worn for a
few days, to protect it from the
shoe. As a general liniment for
sprains, bruises, lameness and rheu-
matism, Pain Balm is unequaled.

HALLS COURAGE QUESTIONED.
Minister COnGers Charges Against a
Marine Corps Officer.

Minister Conger has preferred charges of
cowardice against Capt. Newt T. Hall,
United States Marine Corps the second in
command of the marine forces at Pekin
during the siege. Mr.. Conger questioned
Captain Halls courage because of the lat
ters declination to carry out certain mill
tary operations suggested by the minister.
The charges, in the ordinary course, pass
ed into the hands of General Chaffee, the
commander-in-ch chief of the forces in China
who made an inquiry on his own account
and then concluded that the whole matter
rested on the difference of judgment be-
tween the minister and the captain. He sent
the papers to Washington with a recon-
mendation that no further proceedings be
had, a finding vindicating the captain.
1t was determined, however, that the
high morale of the Marine Corps required
the most formal and complete acquttal of
an accused officer from such a charge, in
order that he might not in after years suf-
fer from its repetition. Consequently, the
papers were referred to General Haywood
the commandant of the marines, who is
taking steps to have a thorough investiga-
ton by proper court.

Will Interest Flat DweIlers.
From the MINNEAPOLIS Times.

Flat dwellers and long suffering landlords
will be interested in a suit brought in Chi
cago to recover damages for the death of a
child because the temperature of a fat was
permitted to fall to % degrees last Febru-
airy. The child was Ill and the neglect of
the janitor in permitting the steam to go
down is alleged as the cause Of death. The
lease provided that the fiat should be heat
ed by steam from October l to May 81.
The child, a three-year-old boy, was suffer-
ing from some pulmonary complaint and
the attending physicians told the parents
he would not survive the night unless the
room was properly heated. The steam was
turned off, the temperature Of the apart
ment fell to % degrees and the child died.
The suit will aid in determining the liabil-
ity of landlords who engage to heat apart
ments for their tenants, question that
arises very frequently in the life of flat
dweler but has not been brought into
court hitherto in such way as to bring
out all the fine points involved.

What Causes Deafness.
THE PRINCIPAL CAUSE is Durable But
GENERALLY OVERLOOKED.

Many things may cause deafness, and very often
1t is difficult to trace cause. Some people inherit
deafness Acute diseases like scarlet fever some
times cause deafness. But by far the most COM
mon cause of loss of hearing is catarrh Of the
head and throat.
A prominent specialist on ear troubles gives as
his opinion that nine out Of ten of deafness
is traced to throat trouble; this is probably
stated but 1t is certainly true that more than
half Of all cases Of poor hearing were caused by
catarrh
The catarrhal secretion in the nose and throat
finds its way into the Eustachian tube and by
clogging it up very soon affects the hearing and
the hardening Of the secretion makes the loss of
hearing permanent. unless the catarrh which
caused the trouble is cured. r.
Those who are hard Of hearing may think this a
little far fetched, but any one at all observant
must have noticed how a hard cold in the head
will affect the hearing and that catarrh, If long
neglected, will certainly impair the of hear
ing and ultimately cause deafness.
II the nose and throat are kept clear and free
from the unhealthy secretions Of catarrh the hear
ing will at once greatly improve, and any one
suffering from deafness and eatarh can satisfy
themselves this point by using hfty-cent box
of stuart's Catarrh Tablets, new catarrh cure,
which in the past year has won the approval of
thousands of catarrh sufferers as well as pby.

Determined by the City Vote.

New Jersey is a state of cities. In pro-
portion to the whole number of it's people
it has a larger urban population than any
other state in the Union This population
is found in Newark, Jersey City, Paterson,
Camden, Trenton, Hoboken and Elizabeth.
The average increase of population in
these cities since 1890 has been over 80 per
cent. The counties of Essex, Hudson, Pas
sale, Camden, Mercer and Union in which
these cities are situated, cast a vote of
2O9,944 in 1896, as compared with 145, 09S in
the other fifteen counties in the state If
Atlantic, Bergen and Cumberland be ex-
cepted, these fifteen counties show but lit
tie increase of population during the last
decade Some of them have remained al
most stationary, and Sussex and Warren
have probably declined. The city vote of
New Jersey will determine the size of the
plurality which the state will give to Nc
kinley and Roosevelt
