Milwaukee Cut-Off to Make de.

VICTORY FOR BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
Change in Route is Made on Account
of Objection of Board to Railroad
Running Through County Farm-of-

Information has reached this city
that the Milwaukee railroad will prob.
ably make detour south of the poor
farm and that it's proposed line
through that body of land will be
abandoned. This will make the line
run a short distance south of the pres
ent survey, and will eliminate all feel

through the poor farm.

TIE DEMOCRATIC ESTIMATES.
Small Republican Vote is Predicted by
Frank Q. Stuart.

Frank Q, Stuart, in charge of the
democratic state headquarters, in
speaking of the democratic prospects
yesterday, said the lack of campaign
fund had prevented the democrats
from putting up strong speaking
campaign, but through the literary bu-
reau and by the activity Of the local
committees in the different counties,
much had been done for the democra
cause. He predicted the republi -
vote would be much less than it WIS
estimated by the republican leaders.
As his reasons for this he said the cur
rency question cut little figure in this
campaign and democrats generally
would support the ticket.

it is nevertheless true that no people
on earth have such abundant cause for
Thanksgiving as we have. The past
year in particular mas been one o
peace and plenty, We have prosper
ed in things material and have been
able to work for our own uplifting in
things intellectual and spiritual. Let
us remember that, as much as has
been given us, much will be expected
from us, and that true homage comes
from the heart as we'll from the lip
and shows itself in deeds. We can
best prove our thankfulness to the A
mighty by the way in which on this
earth and at this time each Of us does
his duty to his fellow men.
Now, therefore, |, Theodore Roose-

general Thanksgiving, Thursday, the
twenty-eighth, of this present Novem-
