SCATTERING RETURNS.

OMAHA, Nebraska, November 6,
midnight-The editor of the Omaha
Bee is authority for the statement that
the returns thus far received from all
parts of Nebraska indicate the election
of the Republican electoral ticket by a
plurality ranging from 10, 600 to 20, 600;
the Republican Governor by plurality
of 30, 900 and a Republican Legislature.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. This State
has gone overwhelmingly Republican.
In 1244 out of 2, 100 precincts in the
State, Mckinley has received 81, 500
votes and Bryan ~, 207. McKinley's
plurality in the State four years ago
was only 2, 797. All of the Congression-
al districts have also gone Republican.
RENO, Nevada, Nov. With about
half of the returns in, it seems certain
that Bryan will carry this State by not
less than 1900 majority. Newlands is
not keeping up with the Presidential
vote, but is undoubtedly elected by not
less than 1000 votes over harrington.
Forty-six out of l63 precincts give Me-
Kinley 1850 and Bryan ?, 794; Earring
ton 2, l24 and Newlands 2,720. These
precincts are mostly in the western
part OF the State and contain nearly
half of the votes. Washoe county has
gone Democratic.
NEW YORK, November 7th.-Bryan
has carried Greater New York by 26,
900 plurality. This is much less than
the Republicans were willing to con-
cede and assures the State to MeKin-
ley by not less than 100, 900 plurality.
McKinley's election is everywhere con-
ceded. He has carried every State that
he carried in 1896, with the possible ex-
ceptions of Indiana and Kentucky.
Democrats claim the former by 1900.
The Republicans claim Nebraska and
both sides are claiming Kansas, where
the vote was unusually large and very
slow to come IN.

THE LOCAL ELECTION.
LARGEST VOTE EVER POLLED
IN ELY.
Some Close Contests.

A total OF 223 votes, by far the largest
number ever polled in Ely, was cast
here in the election on Tuesday. There
was the usual button -holing and rust
ling for votes on the part OF candidates
and their friends, and we are sorry to
say that in some cases there is good
reason to believe that the arguments
used were not entirely by word Of
mouth. Most OF the fights were clean
and square, however, and in all cases
good natured. The absence of drunk
enness and broiing was noticeable, and
when the votes were all in, the town
settled down to its usual quiet to await
the results.
The Hamilton returns were the first
to come in from any precinct in the
county, and afforded little surprise to
several of the candidates, who, by the
way, with the exceptions OF Messrs.
Judd, Harrison and Grandelmyer were
gathered here. Then followed the Ely
vote, which was counted by one o 'cleck
and was sufficiently decisive to convince
several Of the candidates that their
chances were gone. In the cases of the
Senatorship, Assessor and Treasurer s
Office and Long and Short Term Com
missionerships however, the vote was
so close that it will require the returns
from every precinct to determine the
result, and then the official count may
be necessary. All OF the county returns
so far as received will be found in an
ot hor column and speak for themselves.
The telegraphic dispatches from the
country ut large began to come in at
about eight o'clock and continued until
long past midnight, when an adjourn
ment was taken until yesterday morn
ing. 1t did not take long to convince
the local Bryan men that New York
was lost and with it their favorite' s
chance for election. AS much as the
result is deplored by all good silver
men, it was expectedby most and so the
disappointment was not so pronounced
AS might otherwise have been. The
Republican vote in White Pine shows
some gain, but the county as whole
was staneh in its support OF the Silver

plant. Warner pleaded guilty to the
charge before Judge Tyler and was
sentenced to 80 days in jail. 1t is hard
ly stwo months since the old man was
discharged from serving a 60-day sem
tenee for the same offence.
The returns from Aurum and Newark
had not yet been received here when
we went to press. Complete returns
from Snake Valley also failed to arrive
on last nights stage but Mr.. Keel, the
driver, informs us that Mr.. Comins
leads Mr.. Green in that precinct, that
Mr. Williamson received IA votes and
Mr.. Payne 6, and that the fight for
Long Term Commissioner stood Parker

cepting these figures, Mr.. Payne leads

Comins leads by small margin, with

very largely attended, interest in the
election bringing many out who do not
ordinarily indulge in friyolity. A bull
letin board was placed in the hall and
the returns were posted as fast as they
came in. The county returns were
received with the most interest, when
1t was seen that Bryan's chances were
slim, and were productive OF many
"Oh's" and "Ah'sn from the feminine
part of the house as their favorites fell
behind or forged ahead. Messrs. Camp

early morning hours. A fine supper
was served in the new dining room at
Riepe's Hotel, Shun & Co. acting as
cateres.
Three or four young men who should
have been up to better business, ra aised
a disturbance in the rear of Shun d
Company's restaurant last Tuesday
night and ended the performance by
one of their number assaulting an in
offensive Chinaman named Tom. The
Chinaman rushed into the kite hen and !
taking dipper of scalding water,
dashed it into the face of one of the |
crowd, in the darkness being unable to
distinguish which one had struck him.
The result is that one man is nursing |

a night in jail and next morning plead

MARKSMANSHIP OF BoERS.
An EaGlishns. Who Has seen II ne'
Iieves They Have Acquired
False Reputation.

II am inclined TO think that the peo-
pie who are forecasting the results of
= war in the Transvaal are laying too
much stress on the craftsmanship OF
the Boers," said Mr.. Z. A. Broughton.
Of Liverpool, TO reporter for the New
Orleans Times-Democrat. II have a
brother al Port Natal. and during a
visit which l paid him in 1895 l saw a
good deal of fancy shooting. both at
Pretoria and Bloemfontein, in the
Orange Free State. also heard nu-
merous hunting stories. and in every
instance the tradition far outclassed
the performance. dare say the origi-
nal Boer settlers were fine shots when
their weapons are taken into considera-
tion. The popular gun Of their time was
an old-fashioned. long-barreled Ger
man rifle of about ~ caliber. For any
thing like long range they had to push
up the sights. and they became very ex-
pert at judging distance for drop shots.
Their skill in that particular gave them
e great advantage over noted English
sportsmen who came into the country
after big game. and they acquired a
tremendous reputation as marksmen.
l am confident that the average British
Tommy could double discount them
with u modern, small caliber. high-pow-
er rife. and. as far as saw, the younger
Beers are very indifferent shots with
any sort of weapon"

In the National Magazine is an in

of the violin. The writer says: An
ancient legend tells us that one day
as Orpheus. son of Apollo and the Muss
Kalliope, was walking by the sea, trill-
ing in soft cadence a song taught him
by the celebrated teacher, Limos, he
was attracted by the sound Of sweet
music. which seemed but the echo of
his own glorious voice. He walked
along, singing. and the sound APP
preached. as il to meet him. till finally
it rang at his very feet.
Glancing down. he saw the shell OF
a turtle. which had been cast high and
dry upon the beach and left there by
the receding waves. The little thing
had died and dried up SO that only the
sinews. shriveled to strings. and the
shell remained. The dried up sinews
were tightly stretched across the hol-
low shell and the wind as it listed
touched the strings. causing them TO
vibrate over the shell sounding board
and give forth the sweet. sad tones.
Enchanted. he bore his treasure home
and from IL fashioned the viol shell.

chanted by its magic. became his bride.
