TWO PLURALITY.
Hand. County Gives Bryan
"A Plurality of Two on
Official Count.

The official rettrns OF. Hand Coun-
ty' as canvassed by the County
Board Tuesday, appears in this pa
per giving the vote in detail on
President, governor and county Of
fcers. There are four presidential
electors on each ticket. so the vote
for Mckinley and BRYAN are taken
from the vote for Chas. Thomson,
republican elector, and j. NJ. King,
democratic elector, both residents
Of this county. The total vote OF
the county is 1905, divided as fol.
lows:
Mckinley, rep........"........... ..592
Bryan, dem.............................. ..594
Wooley, prohib.. .................... is
Dsbs, social dem...................... /
Barker, pop.......... ..................
This gives the county to the dem
.ocrats by two votes over the repub.
licans on president, which is the
closest result ever had here before.
On Governor, the democrats have
aplurality of 20, and other state OF.
Hcers about the same, except on At
t0rney ;eneral, and John L. Pyle,
rep. carried the county by four.
On the county ticket all demo.
Gratis were elected except Judge
Briggs and Supt. Snoddy, whose
maiorities were respectively 50 and
S6. The vote on States Attorney
was very close, John Pusey, winning
over j. Ii. Cole by 6 votes. w. 8.

ture won by SO and As respectivel y.
These variations arc within the Gus.
tomarY bounds among independent
voters who on local officers vote for
their friends or for the men they like,
and Hand County has always done
that. But on the balance OF the
ticket the sweeping majorities are
surely hard to analyze. What
caused them is beyond the knowi.
edge OF the Press. Politically Hand
County is now about a stand off.
and it is possible to elect men
on either ticket. Whether it takes
certain kind OF men, certain kind OF
management, or certain kind OF
campaigning .are matters for the
parties to consider.
With the prestige OF the great
national victory, and fusion forever
squelched in South Dakota, the
Press believes Hand County repub-
licans nave an excellent show to win
liz two years.

Glorianna B., of Westport, writes: "I

You should dissuade him with a hatpin
or an ak, Glorianna, but as an all-around
anti-kiss argument there is nothing so dis
suading and at the same time painless as 4
large Bermuda onion, says the Baltimore
American. You should eat one or two or
three before the kissing bug flies around.
Musician" of Waverly, wants to know
how to discover whether or not her piano
keys are ivory or celluloid.'
Touch them carefully with a lighted
match. If they are celluloid you should
then call the fire department
Housewife" of Roland Park, asks:
''How can / keep reaches out of lard?'
Place the butter near by. They prefer it..
Lucy F." of Highlandtown, says: My
hair brush shows a good many falling hairs
every day. How can | stop them?"
Soak the brush in glue over night.
'Rube:" 1t certainly was inhospitable of
your friend, whom you were visiting, to re-
fuse to allow you to use his tooth brush.
However, we should cultivate a sweetness
of disposition which will enable us to over
look such traits in others.

FOR MALARIA,
] CHILLS and fever.
The Best Prescription Is Groves
TaSte1ess Chill Tonic.
The Formula Is Plainly Printed on Every Bottle
So That the People May Know Just
+ What They Are Taking.

Imitators do not advertise their formula
knowing that you would not buy their medi-
cine if you knew what it contained. Groves
contains Iron and Quinine put up in correct
proportions and is in a Tasteless form. The
Iron acts tonic while the Quinine drives
the malaria out of the system. Any reliable
druggist will tell you that Groves is the
Original and that all other so-cailed "Taste-
less" chill tonics limitations An analysis
of other chill tonics shows that Groves is
superior to all others in every respect. You are
not experimenting when you take Grove's-its
superiority and excellence having long been
established. Groves is the only Chill Cure sold
throughout the entire malarial sections of the
United States. No Cure, No Pay. Price, SOC.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, juno 24.-The
continual rains in North Alabama since
the first of this month have wrought
great damage to the crops and farmers
are complaining loudly. The wet

the farmers to do any work and the
grass is running away with their crops.
In addition to this the cool nights and

BARBER GOT IT MIXED.
I'm Relating a Little Joke He, After
the Manner of His Kind, Turned
IL Upon Himself.

Henry Lamm, an attorney of Sedalia, told
a story at the reception to the Missouri Bar
association recently which caused a great
laugh, says the Kansas City Star. Mr.. Lamm
was called on to make an impromptu speech.
He said:
"This is taking an unfair advantage of
me. have paper in my pocket which
am to read at the meeting tomorrow. 1t is a
very dry paper and it will take me an hour
to read it. If / am given the slightest en-
couragement l will read it right now. That
would be one on you, wouldn't it?
And that reminds me. / was in Texas
recently and there they have new joke.
A man asks you: Have you heard the story
about the two dirty collars% You are sup
posed to answer: No And then the man
says: That's one on you.
"a Dutch barber who had been sold on
this joke concluded to try it on the next
customer who came into his shop. So as he
was getting ready to shave the next caller
he asked him:
:. :" Hat you heard dot story about the two
dirty collarsg
No. answered the customer.

LONDON, June %, 8 a.m.-The posi-
tion of the international forces in the
section of Northern. China where lie, 900
men are striving to keep footing and
to succor the legations in Pekin appears
to increase in peril with every fresh
dispatch. Pekin has not been heard
from direct for fourteen days. The
last dispatch was one imploring aid.
Admiral Seymour's column of 1000 was
last heard from twelve days ago. At
that time it was surrounded midway
between Pekin and Tien Tsin. Possibly
now it has reached Pekin.
The 5000 internationalists at Tien
Tsin were hard pressed and fighting
for their lives on Thursday, and a re-
lief force of less than 1000 had been
beaten back to Taku Friday. Observ-
ers on the spot think that 100, 900 men
would not be too many to grasp China
firmly.
The admiralty has received the fol-
lowing from the British rear admiral
1T Taku:
"CHE Foo, June 23-Only one runner has
got through from Tien Tsin for five days.
No information could be obtained except
that the foreign settlement had been almost
entirely destroyed and that our people we're
fighting hard"

Bathing without Shoulder Straps.

The rank and file on the Modder river
were a short time ago forbidden to battle,
and sentinels were posted on the banks to
look for surreptitious swimmers. One of the
sentinels caught sight of swimmer, who
persistently ignored his summons to sur.
render to arrest. At last the bather emerged
from the river; the furious sentinel ad
vanced upon the dripping figure and claimed
a prisoner. "Confound you!" was the re-
