Yesterday was an ideal election
day, the weather being fair through
out the county, and a large vote
was polled. From all indications
at our hour of going to press, it APP
peared as though there would be an
increase In the total vote of the
county of several hundred, running
the total up in the neighborhood
of 1000.
1t il impossible at this hour to
forecast the general result.
Messrs. Ramon, Cranberry and
Hight were all in Mt. Pleasant I;
Mr.. Barker was in Bigbyville, and
Webb in Columbia.
Up to our time of going to press.
the following districts had been
heard from:

HAiR-BREADTH ESCAPE.
Passenger Train Narrowly Misses
Striking a Milk Wagon.

What might have been serious ac-
cident was narrowly averted early yester-
day morning at the Garden street rail-
road crossing. Walter Orman, driver of
Mrs. E. ID. Looney's milk wagon, APP
preached the crossing just as the north
bound passenger train which reaches
here about $50. was passing through.
The horse had stepped upon the track
before the driver noticed the approach
ing train, which wss only a few feet
away. Nei her the engineer nor driver
had hard " time 10 think, but, quick as
fash. the former ierked his air-brakes
lever and the lat er managed to pull his
horse back off the track just as the
engine sped by and grazed the animals
nose. A second niger. and the horse
and vehicle would have been struck by
the engine and the driver, doubt 'ess,
dashed into eternity. The train only
went few yards before it came to a
standstill.
This is particularly dangerous cross
ing, and too much precaution cannot be
taken in approaching it. A Waterman
is kept there during the daytime, but
he had not come on duty when this oc-
Cured. Rather than put up a gate
and protect the public, the L. & n.
Co. prefers to kill somebody once in
awhile and pay for it. But the city
authorities should compel them TO put
up the gate.

Rush.

The HERALD's pheton guessing
contest closed "Wednesday night at
8 O'Clock, ard the handsome prize is
now ready to be delivered to the for g.
tunate winner-whoever he or she

THE COLUMBIA INSTITUTE ANNEX

In order to extend the privileges of
the Institute to worthy students unable
to pay the regular price, or TO those who
may wish to economic in order TO take
several extras. from twenty to thirty
girls will be accommodated at club rates
in the Annex. This is an ivy covered
building well ventilated by cross
windows. Lit will be repaired and at
TactiyeIy refurnished and fully equipped
with sleeping apartment, dining room,
kitchen and pantry. 1t is connected
with the main building, from the second
story by the art room, from the fist
by the recreation ball The privilege of
co operative house keeping will be ex-
tended to the pupils occupying the build
ing. That Is TO say, no profit will ac-
crue to the school except for rent and
tuition. A refined, cultured lady will
act as house mother, hence the same
wholesome restriction and safe pleas
ures, given the regular boarder, will be
extended to the Annex. The same re-
citations, and the same rules ext. for
both. The arrangement is in no sense a
charity. The student pays the regular
tuitlon-S60 year-and for the build
ing, heated and lighted, $40 year. 1t
is not industrial, for cook will be en-
ployed, and such servants as the income
will allow. IL is estimated that these
expenses will not exceed $40 year. To
be explicit:
Tuition for one year...s 5000
Rent for building furnished.
heated and lighted by electricity % 90
PROVISIONS and servants hire. -. 70 90
Total -..........-....--.....-$l5O 90
By furnishing from their farms pro.
visions, such as -four, lard. meat, pota-
toes, canned fruit and veg. tables. stu
dents may reduce the expense of living.
These provisions will be credited TO
their account by the house mother. 4
president for the literary society will be
chosen from the Annex. The student
Who exerts the best moral influence and
by vote of the faculty is leader in her
class, will, the next year, receive
scholarship: i. E.. will be excused from
payipg either tuition or room rent.
We wish 10 emphasize that gradua-
ton. class room, social, religion and
literary privileges, will be extended alike
to the regular boarder and the student
of the Annex. But it is expected that
only the student Of the highest and best
aims will apply for admission TO the
Annex. In such cases the benefit 10
the student and the school will be
mutual.

Little Doubt That q Grent$ Conflict
Has Begun.
London. June 23,-Matters in China ar-
pear 10 have reached nearly the climax OF
seriousness, judging from this mornings
The announcement that Prince
Tuan Ind assumed actiyb command OF
Chinese troops and was lombard
ing NTien Ts.n seems conclusive evidence
that the doWaEcr empress has declared
war on the combined European power
and tliut the whole military strength of
China Is TO be employed In behalf of the
Boxers. 1t Is considered significant that
he Chinese merchants of Shanghai are
realizing 5on their effects In specie n re-
firing into the interior. Evidently they
anticipate a. spread OF the trouble. Com
s~euuently II is urged that the forts at
Wconsung should he seized by the inter-
national forces in view OF; possible events.
Possibly. as a preliminary to some action
OF this kind. the consul.at Shanghai to-
addressedsa note TO the Chinese adj
smiralt asking himsto remove Ills feet from
Shanghai. In compliance with the re-
duest two Chinese warships are to sail
todaysand the rest tomorrow.
In the meanwhile the gravity OF the sit
uation at Tien Tsin can hardly be over
estimated. The critical state of Affairs
seems plain from the haste with which
the small force of 900 men was dis
patched from Taku TO the relief of the
sT3air Tsin surrisoI,. 1t Is doubtless con-
rering ammunition, the absence of which

patch.
These are questions that remain to
be solved by scientists. The genesis
of the race whose houses arc found
perched in almost inaccessible clefts
in the cliffs in Colorado and Arizoa,
New Mexico and Utah, has never been
even guessed at. For some reason
most of the investigators along seien-
tifc lines have left the queer little
a c alone, and it is today almost ms
much shrouded in darkness as in the
days before anthropology was q sci-
ence and its deyotees had become In
terested in the study of extinct races.
In the state capitol of Colorado is to
he commenced the first systematic at
tempt to unravels the mystery of this
people. The collection of skulls,
bones, pottery and fr%agmentary pic
lures which has been gathered by the
State Historical society and is dis
played in its rooms in the capitol
basement, though interesting us curi-
%osities, is not catalogued and ar
ranged sc ms to give it Its full scion
tific value. The work to be done will
produce a infinitely descriptive eata-
logue in which accurate measure
lnents Of all human bones and skulls
will be put down.
AT the request of Curator Ferril
and the board of managers the work
will be undertaken by DIR. A. j. Ben
nett, who has made anthropology his
special study. DIR. Bennett has done
anthropological work in Africa, and
his observations on the cannibal
Fang" tribe in equatorial Africa are
just being published by the A%nthropo-
logical institute of Great Britain and
Ireland, of which organization he is

Using oxen in ST. Louis LnmperYard

Using Oxen in st. louis LnmbcrY ard
st. Louis Republic: 1t may surprise
many persons to learn hat the day of
the o. is moi yet passed, so far as St.
Louis is concerned; that there is II
place in this city where Nen are en-
ployed in large numbers in prefer
ence to horses or mules in work
which goes on daily, within a few
yards of Broadway.
This place is in the G. L. Licbkcr
lumber yards, North ST. Louis. The
yards are generally filed with large
hard wood logs, which require shift
ing from place to place in the process
of treatment. 1t is for this shifting
that the oxen are employed, and it is
not unusual to see several yoke of
oxen attached to u long chain, drag
ging a log behind them.
This faculty Of hitching any number
of IKE together is perhaps the
strongest why they are used in the
lumber yards.
About q dozen are employed in tho
yards, all told. They nrc all about
the same size and are hitched up, or
yoked up, with wooden yokes. The
method of guidance is the time hon
ored gee" and .'haw' and a long rod.
like a fish pole takes the place of
reins. The gond has been superseded.
however. by the more modern black
snake whip, and this is the ouly mod
crn feature about the teams. Ac-
cording to the superintendent of the
yards. the company will continue to
use oxen so long as they r pur.
chasable.
