VOTE IN MANY STATES.
Iowa.


A. B. Cummins. Republican candidate
for Governor, has been elected over L. j.
Phillips by Il plurality of over 10000.
The Prohibition vote has been largely
increased, advancing from 5000 last year
to $4,000 this year. Practically every
precinct shows a falling off in the Demo-
cratic vote. Out of the nincty-nine coun-
ties in the State the Democrats carried
only six. The Legislature from early rc-
turns will contain 125 Republicans and
% Democrats, a gain of ten for the Re
publicans. Chairman Spence contenaed
that when all the returns were in they
would show more than 100000 majority
for the Republicans and that the gain in
the Legislature would be fourteen instead
of ten. The total vote shows n falling
off of % per cent. Senators Allison and
Dolliver will be reelected.

Gov. George IL. Nash has been re-
elected by an increased plurality. The
Republicans have a majority in both
branches of the Legislature, insuring the
return of Senator Foraker to the United
States Senate. Early returns indicated
a Republican plurality of G6,O00 for Gov.
Nash and the whole State ticket, and
that the Democratic gains are confined
to Franklin County, where Kilbourn, Tor
Governor, has not less than $500 major
ity, as against a majority of LIPS for
Nash two years ago. The result is due
to the popularity of Kilbourn at home
and the fight put up by the saloon inter

Even when little interest had been shown
before the election an unexpectedly large
percentage of the voters cast their ball
lots. While interest conferred in the re-
suit in Greater New Work. many of the
State elections had national Importance.
The election of Seth Low rs Mayor Of
New York City could scarcely be consid-
cred a Republican victory, us the fusion
candidate had the Endorsement of many

Reports received from the various sec
lions of New York State show that the
Republicans will retain control of the
DOVER house of the State Legislature, the
number of Republican and Democratic
Assenblymen not differing materially
from the figures of preceding years.
OF the State elections probably the
most important was that of Ohio, which
gave Nash, the Republican nominee and
pr sent Governor, a plurality estimated
at COCO votes over Cal. Kilbourne. Re
publican gains were shown in almost ev-
cry county, except FRANKLIN, Kilbourne's
home. The Legislature will be Republic

Iowa piled up a mountaineering plu-
rality, 1t being estimated early Wednes-
day morning that A. B. Cummins, the
nominee for Governor, has nearly $4,000
more votes than his Democratic opponent.
South Dakota elected judges and minor
officers, the indications from meager re
ports being that Republicans had made
gains.
In the various municipal contests in
New York State the most interesting
elections noted were those of Albany,
Troy, Rochester, Syracuse and Buffalo.
The city of Albany was carried by the
Republicans, ex-senator David B. Hill
taking no active part in the local can
vass.
Buffalo the entire Republican city
and county tickets were elected, Erastus
q. Knight, the State Controller, being
chosen Mayor. The result in Rochester
was close, but Mayor Warmers friends
claim the election of the Republican can
didata.

in whose families she had served as
housekeeper. and four children. 1t is
due to Mrs. Witwer, however, to say
that she stoutly protests her innocence.
Close upon the heels of the Witwer
case follows the arraignmcnt of Jane
Toppan at Barnstable, Mass, a profess
sional nurse, upon the charge of murder
ing Mary ID. Gibbs, suspicious also rest
Ing upon her of numbering Mrs. Gordon,
sister of Mrs. Gibbs. and Mr.. and Mrs.
a. u. Davis, their father and mother. all
Of whom had been attended by Jane Top
pan in the capacity of nurse. She is
also suspected of the murder of three
other persons. The evidence i'll this case
seems stronger than that against Mrs.
Witwer. The accused woman shortly aft
ter their decease attempted to commit
suicide.
There is an apparent lack of motive in
the first case. Mrs. Witwer does not
seem to have profited in any way by the
numerous deaths of which some think
She may have been the cause, nor does
there appear to be any special reason
! why she should nave removed people in
such a wholesale manner. Miss Toppan
had been employed as nurse in the Davis
family for years, and in the Brigham
family, three members of which died
suddenly, she was regarded almost as a
daughter. 1t is said that she owed MIR.
Davis money and that some money which
was on the person of one of the women
she nursed could not be found after her
death. IL money was her motive her
crimes got for her only about $1,000.
1t is not safe yet to assume that either
woman is guilty. If their guilt shall be
established, and il it shall appear also
that Miss Toppan did not benefit in a
pccuniary way by the deaths laid at her
door, it will have to be assume that
both these women had an abnormal love
of killing, induced by that same species
Of insanity which inspired Nero and Lu-
crezia Borgia in their alleged butchc.ies.

'--lthe country is maintained
generally. That the prospect of a change
i'll these pleasing conditions lies in events
without, not within this country, grows
clearer as the situation in Europe as
sllmes a more unsatisfactory aspect.
Whatever takes place there in a CONNER
cal and financial way will be reflected
eventually in the markets of America.
New York, London, Paris and through
them other c%enters, are alike subject to
the same influences. Tho present depres-
sion i'll Germany has placed ON the mar
kets of Europe a large output OF iron
and steel at low prices, which restricts
the foreign demand for our products by
that much. Fortunately the iron and
steel business does not feel the effect
OF these conditions now, as the domestic
consumption is so great, but it is an adj
verse factor that will lie felt in time un-
less conditions in Europe are bettered.
This country has been called upon to
supply gold to meet foreign needs, and
ON Thursdays steamers $$22,SoO,OOO was
shipped to Paris. The present shipments
are in part payment of loans made last
summer to carry Northern Pacific securi-
ties bought when the historic contest for
the control of that road was under way.
Gold is a commodity and will go to the
country that will pay for it. European
nations are the ones that want it the
most now. The advance in the Bank of
England rate to 4 per cent probably will
attract more gold from here. The intiu-
ence Of this movement on the Wall street
money market is largely offset by the
action of the Secretary of the Treasury
in resuming bond purchases.

of the disease also gives but little oppor-

done is to prescribe general treatment
that will maintain the activity of the
secretions. The following treatment has
been recommended and is probably as
good as any and certainly better than
that frequently used During the first
stages give a purgatve consisting of
from six to eight drains of aloes and ono
dram of calomel. Cold applications to
the head and warmth to the body. Bro
mide of potash in from four to six dram
doses and fluid extract of belladonna in
one dram doses. Quinine and iodide of
potash, in one dram doses three times
a day, have each been prescribed with
view of antagonizing the poison or
eliminating it.
Blood-letting, aconite, blisters and
the like, may be of service in certain
stages of the disease, but they are too
liable to abuse in their application to
justify their recommendation for gen.
eral use.
For a more comprehensive discussion
of this subject those interested are re-
