sary for the British to place a strong

Damage to Railroad.

The first train over the Jackson &

Mississippi Valley road reached jack
son Friday night, the system having
been completely tied up as result
of the heavy dirt slide in the 65-foot
cut near Anding. The road has ex-
perienced numerous difficulties at
this place; in fact, it is regarded as
the most expensive piece of track on
the system, and the officials estimate
that it will take at least $500, 900 to
put the place in a safe condition. A
short time ago six men were killed in
the Anding cut, and nine Others in

Ticket Nominated by the Dissenting
State Convention Successfully:
Sufficient returns have been re-
ceived to warrant the statement be-
yond any question of doubt that the
entire ticket nominated by the dis
senting state convention was elected
at Thursdays primary.
The latest figures received indicate
that the contest for the fourth place
on the delegation from the state at
large is still IN doubt between Sens-
tor Sullivan and General Cameron.
1t will take the official figures when
the democratic state executive COM
mittee meets Wednesday to decide
this contest.
The vote throughout the state was
small. In ten counties no election
was held, the county executive COM
mittee utterly disregarding the pri-
mary order. In many counties where
primaries were held the county vot-
ing precincts were not opened and
the election was confined chiefly to
the towns, the farming element pay
ing no attention to the contest. The
vote at nearly all of the county pre-
cincts was surprisingly small. A
conservative estimate of the vote,
based on the face of the returns re-
ceived, indicate that about Is, 600
votes were cast. The total white
registered vote in the state in 1899
was 122,724. It will thus be seen
that less than 20 per cent. of the to-
tai democratic vote was cast. The to-
tai vote cast at the general election

Furnishing a Summer House.

In furnishing a summer house ono
or two points must be remembered.
Nothing thick or stuffy should find
place in it, no furniture moved out
from town house, no heavy hangings
nothing that when the windows are
left open will catch and hold the dust
or the damp. For this reason ma
hogany, willow and other smooth
surface materials are desirable. Paint
everything white in the bedroom that
has grained wood and white marble
mantel; have the ceiling white, and
put a narrow-striped paper on the

predominating. Some charming and

Advice to Young Housekeepers.

This being the time when good
many new homes are being estab-
lished, word of caution from an old
housekeeper is perhaps in order
Nearly every young couple setting up
housekeeping starts with definite
amount of money to spend. What
ever the sum, leave fair margin to
rectify mistakes. If $500 is to be set
aside for the household outfit, assume
that only $3.50 is on hand, and stop
short when that sum is expended.
With $1,000, put aside $500, and so
on. The mere process of furnishing
home. whether it be tiny apartment
or spacious house, is an educating ex-
perience; at the end one is sure to
discover that it's repetition would pro-
duce better results. 1t is to rectify
these certain mistakes and to buy
with the Illuminating afterthought
that the reserve fund should be kept.
