The straw bells are ringing merrily down

Times recent straw ride tore into shreds
the darkness and silence of the night.
Possibly there was a runaway, as the
Times says, that the party succeeded in
giving the mules a run for their money.
What confirms this idea is the fact that
the names of the young ladies who were
present when the affair commenced are
given, but as the Times says, whether they
ever reached home is in doubt. There
have been runaways where the harness
has been torn into shreds, but this is an
occurrence where the harness held, and
the night was torn into shreds. With such
mules, something had to bust 1t Is
fortunate that it was the night and not
the harness. Or maybe this idea of
shredded and tattered night is a some

The Buffalo Courier, with laudable pride,
saws that at least one thing in Buffalo Is

lizards nor skeletons of mastodons found
In the reservoir--only dirt and dead fish.

GREAT FOOTBALL GAME
ON SATURDAY AFTERNOO

Despite the excitement of the cleo
tion. great interest is being taken in
the coming game of football on the uni
yersity gridiron The Wyoming team
and the Boulder eleven will meet next
Saturday afternoon and a determined
struggle is looked for. The Boulder
team is one of the strongest college
teams in the west and has made a great
reputation. 1t has ~vanquished the D..
A. c. more than once in its history and
has held the college championship
several times.
This game will be more nearly an
equal match than was that between
the Wyomings and the D. A. c.. and a
closely contested battle is certain. The
football field is now being put in good
shape n a grand stand is being erect
ed for the accommodation of the spec
tators. All persons who love good
sport should see this game.

They Carried 26 States.

New York state went republican by
from $50, 900 to 250, 900. The city of
Chicago went for Mckinley and his
plurality in the state viii reach prob
ably 1O0,0 900.
Indiana is safe for the republican
ticekt by perhaps 10000.
Kentucky and Nebraska are the
states still in doubt, with the republi-
cans probably successful in Nebraska
and the democrats in Kentucky.
In Colorado the Bryan majority of
l34,00 in 1896 is cut down to 10000 or
| 40, 1000, which shows what a fine battle
the republican managers made in that
state. The result probably means the
defeat of E. O. Wolcott for the United
States senate.
The returns from Wyoming are in
complete but the majority for McKin-
ley is estimated at 1000, which was the
figure predicted by The Republican
Monday. Mondell is sent back to
congress and the republican candidates
for the legislature will re-elect Fran
els L. Warren to the United States SEN
ate.
1t is a glorious victory.
In Albany county the entire repub-
lican ticket is elected. N. F. Spicer, the
republican candidate for mayor of Lar
annie, upon whom the entire democratic
attack was centered, is safely elected.
Though there was a great deal Of
scratching in certain quarters there
will o be a single democrat chosen
out of the entire list of candidates be-
fore the people. There never was an
serious doubt of the result, and the peo-
pie have now endorsed the capable re-
publican administration of the county
affairs.
The General Result.
New York, Nov. 7, s a. m.-(Special
to The Republican AT this hour the
states certain for Mckinley are
California, Connecticut, Delaware, I'LL
nois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Maine,
Minnesota, New Jersey, New
Hampshire, New York, North Dakota,
Ohio. Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Isl.
and, South Dakota, Vermont, Washing.

Utah probably gives her electoral
votes to Mckinley but the result is not
yet absolutely certain. Kentucky is at
this hour still in DOUBT with the chances
apparently in favor of the republicans.
The result will be very close.
Nebraska is also in doubt but the re.
publican managers there are confident
that the later returns will show the Nc
Kinley electors chosen by a small plur.
ality.
Montana is safe for Bryan. The re.
publican majority in Indiana will prob
ably reach 10000.
Illinois Rolls It Up.
Chicago, Ill, Nov. 7. $50 a. NJ
(Specila to The Republican.)-Outside
of Cook county McKinleys plurality
will be $4,000. The democrats have
ceased to claim Chicago and the city
will in all probability add 10000 more
TO the republican plurality.
Indiana Slow But Sure.
Indianapolis, Ind, Nov. Z, $50 am
Especial to The Republican.)-Though
the returns are coming in very slowly
the democrats have practically given
up hope of having carried this state
The estimate of the republican man
aggers is that McKinley's plurality will
be close to 80, 900.

Secretary Heath of the republican ma

OF the democrats in Kentucky. The
result is still in doubt but the indica-

Chairman Payne Of the national COM

votes for Mckinley in the electoral col
lege. This is really more than was sx-

OF the republican fo%recasters and is an
endorsement that cannot be mistaken.
The later figures show among other
things the following results in vari

New York gives Mckinley 10000
plurality.
Ohio gives Mckinley 10000.
Iowa gives Mckinley 10000
Indiana gives Mckinley 10000.

Missouri is democratic by $4,000.

Danbury, June 27.-During the very severe thunder storm which prevailed here this afternoon the house of Will liam E. Heneberry on McDermott street was struck by lightning and although little damage was done to the house the fact that the bolt in burrowing through the ground bursted one of the city water mains caused the affair to be most unique, Soon after the house was struck by the lightning bolt it was fill- ed with smoke and the fire department responded to the alarm which was sent
 in. They were unable to get any wa ter however, and upon Investigation it was discovered that the electric bolt upon entering the ground followed the sewer pipe until it came in contact with the water main a distance of about two hundred feet away from the house.

 Eight Miles from Toin Tsin-The
 Question as to Whether n State of War
 Really Exists-May be Settled by tho
 Treatment Accorded the Ministers.
 London, June 27--S:40 D. nl.-The for eign office has issued the following tel egram received from w. k. Carles, the British consul at Tien-Tsin, undated but probably sent June 24 and forward ed from Che Foo June 27: "A note has been received by the commissioner of customs here from Inspector General Hart (Sir Robert Hart at Pekin, dated June 19, stating that the foreign lega- tions had been desired to leave Pekin within twenty-four hours"
 The composite brigade of 2,300 men who raised the investment of Tien-Tsin and pushed on to help Admiral Sey- mour has probably saved him, but the news has not yet reached Che Foo the nearest wire point. The last steamer arriving at Che Foo from Taku brought this message, dated Tien-Tsin, Monday, June 25:
 'The Russian general in command of the relief force had decided, in view of Saturdays heavy fighting and march, ing, that one days rest for the troops was essential and that the advance should not be resumed until to-day
 Meanwhile came Admiral Seymour's heliograph that his position was desper- ate and that he could only hold out two days The relief started at dawn to- day (Monday)
 Saturdays fighting began at day break. The allied forces opened with several of the Terribles AZ naval guns. six field guns and numerous machine guns, the firing being at long range. They continued to advance steadily, the Chinese artillery replying. The guns of the allies were more skifully handled and put the guns of the Chinese out of action onesby one, the Chinese retreat ing about noon. There was keen rival- ry among the representatives of the va rious nations as to which should enter Tien-Tsin first, and the Americans and British went in neck and neck. The Russians stormed the arsenal, thereby sustaining the largest losses.
 Several thousand Japanese have left Taku for -Tsin, and altogether 19, 900 Japanese have landed. The inter- national troops now aggregate nearly 20,000 and Japan is preparing to send 10000 more, with British, American and other troops ordered to go. Probably 60,000 men will be available in a month"

The keenest interest is shown by the officials to learn the conditions under which the ministers left Pel1in. Minis ter Wus dispatch was ominously silent on that point, and though the minister himself maintains almost obstinately his confidence in the non-existence of a state of war;. it is generally admitted that it will be difficult to accept his conclusion if it shall transpire that the Pekin government itself has sent the ministers away with their passports, or what may come to the same thing, with a guard as safe conduct The dispatch from London seems to leave little doubt that the ministers were ordered away
