Election Eirures.


Some interesting figures are taken
from the practically complete election
returns. Prior to the election the re-.
publican state committee made an es-
innate based on reports from chair
nan of county committees and prom
inent party workers. The total vote
of the state, according to the com.
mittee's estimate, was 5S, 500, and the
total vote as counted vas 57,S49. The
total-vote for Mckinley as estimated
by the committee was IS, 76O and the
total vote returned for him was IS, s05.
The total vote for judges in the sew
eral districts is announced as follows,
with all counties officially reported,
but not yet canvassed:
First-Fisk, 2,s6G Anderson. 4Ss.
Second-Cowan, 5.S2l; Burke. 4,O71.
Third-Pollock, 5,039; Engerud, 81
149.
Fourth-Lauder, 1905: Wolfe, 1902.
Fifth-Gasrell, 4,997; Conklin, a,242.
SiSth-Winchester. 3,5l6; Register,
ARCS.
Seventh-Kneeshaw's majority sll;
canvass not made.
Inc total vote OF the state shows an
increase of 10000 over that of four
years ago, and an increase of $4,000
over that cast for congressman two
years ago. 1t is admitted that the
vote of the state was not full, and it is
probable hat a full count of noses
would show over 80. 900 voters. The
constitutional provision requiring full
| citizenship did not have the effect of
reducing the vote, as was expected in
some localities.
The majority for Mckinley in the
state increase almost exactly with the
increase in the vote. Bryan received
within 4 few hundred votes of the
number he received four years ago and
Nc Kinley's vote was 10000 greater
than at the 1896 election.

MISSIONARIES MASSACRED.
Governor of Province of Shan-Si In
vItes Them to His Home and
Then Murders Them,

Berlin, Dec. 4.-Aspecial dispatch
from China to the Volks Zeitung re-
ports q fearful mission slaughter in
the province of Shan-Si. The first VIC
timss the dispatch says, were a Catho-
lie bishop and his coadjutors and four
European priests, Franciscans, italian
and French.
The governor invited them to his
house, pretending to give them better
projections; but when they arrived
their hands were tied. Then the gov
ernor himself poniarded them all.
Next the governor went to the bish-
ops residence with a number of SOL
diers and seized six Marseilles sisters.
He promised them money and distin-
guished husbands if they would re-
DUN Christianity, which offer they
unanimously rejected. Thereupon the
governor %poniarded them and also a
number of Chinese priests, 80 Chinese
sisters and 200 orphans from three to
sixteen years of age.
Fifteen seminarists, who had hid
den themselves in a cistern, were, the
dispatch. says, tied to stakes and
forced to drink the blood of the first
victim. They were then killed.
A Chinese priest and two Christians,
who attempted to escape, were caught
and put in a small hut, where they
were burned.

They have woman suffrage out in
Wyoming, and one recent candidate has
learned that to his cost. A bad "break'
caused his defeat. He is John Thomp-
son, and he ran for representative in
congress. In an evil hour he made .
public statement that the woman vote
was the easiest to get, the easiest to
keep and the easiest to manipulate.
These words ran like wildfire among
the women voters of the state, and so
eXasperated them that they turned
u en- masse on election day and cast
their ballots against Thompson and he
was defeated.

A Reward.

Cavalies county shelters a man on

at one time placed a reward of $780,
900. He is Gabriel Dumont. one of the
ringleaders of the last Riel rebellion,
in 1855. Dumont is said TO have pos
sessed Of far more talent than Riel as
a strategist, and to have possessed the
confidence of the Canadian half breeds
to a great extent. After Riel was cap
tured, Dumont, with a handful of
breeds, worked his way through the
Canadians lines and escaped into
Montana. He is at present living in
the vicinity of Olga, an inland town,
situated in the Pembina mountains.
where he makes his home with the
breeds, all of whom look upon him as
a real Moses.

A two-story street is now being
planned for crowded London. 1t is pro-
posed to have an elevated iron sidewalk
directly above the ordinary walk, and
at street corners light steel bridges will
provide passageways from one side to
another, while at every other street
corner there will be stairways, and the
shops along the street can have show
windows and entrances on the second
floor as well as the first. The idea is
credited to Charles Dickens, who sug-
gested such a plan as far back as 1864.
