For and Against.

For ana Against.
The early closing movement is again
commanding the attention of the mer-
chants. The little difference that
came up some time ago seems still to
be alive and some OF the merchants
are inclined to open their stores in the
evening; another and apparently
stronger faction favor the continuance
of the early closing agreement. Some
feeling is engendered and the claim is
made that if the effort Is made to open
in the evenings the other faction will
prosecute those who are in the habit
of selling on Sunday. Those in charge
of the matter are determined in their
stand and the outcome will be watched
with interest. Notices were sent to
the local papers that certain stores
would be open, but have not as yet
been made public.
Several warrants for misdemeanors
were issued in Squire Morrell's court
yesterday. They were placed In Con-
stable Brainerd's hands and the par
ties will likely be apprehended to-day.

The Outcasts: Tale of the Northw est

Mr.. w. A. Fraser, author of
Mooswa and Others, has just writ
ten for early publication in The Sat
urday Evening Post d short, stirring
serial, entitled The Outcasts.''
The Outcasts are an old buffalo
and wolf-dog, and the greater part
of the story is about the strange
comradeship and striking adventures
of these companions, and their pill
grimage, in company to the distant
plains of deep grass, of which the
wolf-dog knew.
There are action, and strength of
word and phrase in the story, and
the touch of the soil and the music
and charm and sombreness of the
forest. The rush of the frenzied
buffalo herd to death is told with
splendid dramatic power. The plan
of the book is a unique conception,
and it is worked out on novel and
entertaining lines.

The sun never shone brighter on
an election day than that which
arose Tuesday morning, and along
with the cheer of the beautiful dav
arose also the bouyant hopes of
Washburn's twenty candidates for
the six principal offices. 1t was no
ones fight, and every candidate
worked for himself alone. No poll
tics, no straight tickets, and no con
cern for any one except themselves,
the candidates went at it in a free
for all, rough and tumble fight, with
the hopes that they might win, and
with never thought for the other
fellows. Nearly every conceivable
kind of ticket was liz the field. There
was no straight ticket at any stage
OF the game, and ia the printing of
tickets THE TINES Office beat all
records by at least $50, 900 in number,
having printed between Friday night
and election morning the total sum
of 563, 900 tickets, comprising 1872
combinations. Halloran was picked
as a winner early in the day, but it
.3ecanoe evident as the battle pro
crossed that he and McBeath were
pulling pretty much the same vote,
and were cutting into one another,
so that by the time the polls closed
Nelson was quite generally supposed
to have captured the plum, and so it
turned out. From the table which
follows it will be seen that all three
of the gentlemen secured a good vote,
but Bryan, ''who was right and was

pie, = showed up with an even 100
votes out of 1871. At no stage of
the fight was Bryan looked upon as
factor to be feared or courted in
the contest. However he made a
good fight, and his crushing defeat
was not particularly due to person
al unpopularity, out to the wide
spread disgust Of the policy he has
pursued during the past few months
in conducting public matters. Ho-
Wind also went down to defeat,
along with Chairman McBeath and
Mr.. Bryan. and the result leaves
an entire new Board. Oscar, for
supervisor, was conceded the place
from the start, while the other place
was fought for hard by the remain
ing candidates. Wiley and Arsen-
eau were after each other hard, but
the latter carried the day.
AS anticipated Sowder was an
easy winner in the Clerkship race,
and Lee won out in the Treasuryship
after hard and vigorous fight.
Morgan was easily the winner over
Noyesa-for Assessor, but this was
no surprise to anyone.
