across in a northeasterly direction.
Great damage is reported from the
counties bordering on Mississippi,

PROUD OF THE SOLDIERS


Kansas City, Nov. PA former
man now living in Missouri contended
through the whole of the campaign
that the influence of the Twentieth
Kansas regiment alone would: insure
Kansas for Mckinley. Without any
other consideration than the fact that
Mr.. Bryan was opposing the proSecu-
ton of the war in the Philippines, the
friends OF the volunteer soldiers,
whether in the field or at home after
service, naturally inclined to be
friendly to the administration.
1t may not he the reason, but the
fact remains that the states that had
regiments in the Philippines that dis
tinguished themselves showed re-
markable Republican gains. Kansas
gave its electoral vote to Bryan -four
years ago 10y more than 1900 plural
ity, but it gave Mckinley 2j,S44 plu-
raity this year. Colorado had only
1855, 600 votes four years ago, but gave
Bryan l32, 800 plurality. Other in
lluences probably contributed much to
the result, but the fact remains that
Colorado is as proud OF its regiments
that went to the Philippines as Kan
sas was of the Twentieth, and Colo
RADIO cut its plurality for Bryan down
to less than $4,000. A change of lOO,-
600 in the plurality of little state
that does not have ! million votes
now and had fewer than one-fifth of a
million four years ago, was due to
some cause. There certainly were
others besides patriotism, but the in
cident is worth noticing.
The Kansans never stopped telling
their friends about the Utah battery
which was at all times a source Of
pride to the army in the Philippines
Utah gave Bryan 10000 plurality in
1896. Women and all the people of
Utah cast $4,000, so there must have
been some influence of more than or
binary importance at work or 1t
wouldn't have given its electoral vote
to Mckinley with plurality OF f'uoo'
Mckinley got 10000 :votes all told
in Montana four years ago, while
Bryan's plurality was $4,000. This
time ii took a hard fight and a great deal
of money to save the state for Bryan
by 5000 plurality. The Montana
regiment in the Philippines was
counted good regiment. IT. came
home with expansion views well de-
veloped and it may have had its in
nuence in reducing the states major
ity when the paramount issue" was
to get the soldiers home alive without
regard to the conditions of their leav-
ing the islands.

The reduction works of the Detroit

caught fire and was totally consumed.
I ne works consisted of 150-ton con-
contractor, smelter furnaces and con-
troverters. The fire will throw large
number of men temporarily out of en-

Reports from Slate Creek, Wash,
say that the mill on the Eureka will be
running this week. A large force of
men are at work on the 2,000-foot tram
way which lies at an angle of about
80 degrees. The Mammoth is in the
best ore it has ever mined, although
none of it has been put through the
mill. The mill is running on poor ore
which was put in the bins last winter,
but it has pounded out a 59.45-ounce
brick, worth about $1,000. On the
Tacoma claim, through which the Nam
9th claim runs, fine body of fine ore
four feet wide has been opened. The
Gold Standard Mining and Milling
company operates the claim.
