NATIONAL AID STORY.
Reported That Insurance Or
ders Will Soon Consolidate.

Some of the local members of the Ma
tional Aid association believe move
ment is on foot among the head off,
GERS Of the order and those of the Bank
ers' Union of America to consolidate the
National Aid association with the lat
ter. Some of the Bankers Union Off
Gals were in Topeka a few days ago,
it is claimed, for the purpose of bringing
about the consolidation.
S. D. Cooley, national secretary of the
National Aid association with the lat
tional Aid is proceeding just as it al
ways has and he knows nothing about
the consolidation except as an outside
rumor.
THE president of the Bankers union
was down from Omaha last week while
our board of directors was holding its
monthly meeting" Mr.. Cooley said this
afternoon. II presume this may have
given rise to the rumor among outside
parties. We are going ahead just as we
always have"
On the other hand other members of
the order say the consolidation has been
practically agreed upon and that DR..
Spinney, president of the Bankers
Union, will be here today to complete
the arrangements. Alonzo Wardau. the
organizer and for many years president
of the order, says that the move has
been agreed upon and the details will
probably be conSummated in a short
time.
The National Aid is practically To-
peka order. It's headquarters are here
and it has it's national offices in the
Real Estate building. 1t has about 12,-
600 members, according to the state
ment of Secretary Cooley, and is very
strong in some sections of the state 1t
was first organized as an adjunct OF the
Farmers Alliance, but the Alliance fea-
lures have long since been dropped. Its
president is L. K. Lewis and its medi-
cal director is DR.. M. Ware, both of To-
pelka.
The Bankers Union is an Omaha in
stitution and has a membership of
about $4,000, and is said to be growing
rapidly. 1t has been organized about
four years.
Mr.. Warda1l while he has had no part
in the consolidation. believes that the
move is good one, as it will make an
exceedingly strong order out of two of
the younger fraternal organizations.

TRAFFIC BLOCKED.
Dense Fog Still Hovers Over
the Coast of England.

London, Nov. 5.-Although the streets
of London were traversable today with
out the aid of lamps, the coasts are
still fog bound, and railroad and other
traffic is much impeded. The cross
channel steamers have the utmost diff
ficulty in making their ports, in-spite
of the fact that the fog guns are being
continually fired.
Traffic on the Clyde has been blocked
for "a hours, and steamers bound for
England have been unable to leave port.
A number of foreign steamers bound
for Glasgow have taken 20 hours to
traverse the "a miles of river. On the
Humber all traffic is suspended.
There have been railroad collisions at
various points, and minor wrecks have
been reported all along the coasts On
the Thames traffic is almost at a stand
STILL
The hospitals of the metropolis re-
port that there were about a hundred
cases of accidents treated during the
night The mercury hovers at about
freezing point
Continental reports show that Calais,
Ostend, Lyons and Munich are among
the points fog-bound.

ToDAY's ELECTIONS.

Eleven states are holding elections
today; in ten of them state officers are
to be elected. and there are several i'm
portant legislative contests
Following is a list of the states vot-
ing and the officers to be chosen:
Iowa-State and legislature.
Nebraska-Supreme court judge, uni
versity regents.
Ohio-State and legislature.
New York-Mayor New York and leg

Pennsylvania-Judge supreme court,
state treasurer.
Observation-Disclosures and legislature

Rhode Island-State and legislature.
virginia-State and legislature
New Jersey-State and legislature.
MISUNDERSTANDING of state and
treasurer.
Republican success in Iowa is thought
to be assured. both as to the state and
legislative tickets, the only question
being the size of the vote. The legisla-
ture chosen will have the selection of
two United States sena tors.
In Nebraska Mr.. Bryan has made an
active canvass to hold the fusion and
Ropulist vote OF past years together
The result is in doubt.
Ohio has state ticket to elect in a
campaign in which the Democrats have
wholly eliminated Organism Apathy
has marked the campaign there.
The mayoralty contest in New York
city, and the possibility that Tammany
may be overth- own, has overshadowed
the legislative election.
In Pennsylvania the Quay and anti
Quay forces have centered their fight
on the election of the state treasurer
Massachusetts has a state election.
with the Democrats making a vigorous
fight to elect Josiah Quincy governor.
Rhode Island is also concerned in
state election, with Republican success
seemingly assured
The New Jersey state election prom
tsss to be quiet. also that OF Virginia.

while Mississippi is merely holding a
special election for two offices.
In Maryland former Senator German
has conducted the campaign because a
Democratic legislature means his re-
turn to the senate.
Reports indicate general apathy on
the part of voters. except where some
local issue has aroused them. The poll
ticians regard the outcome as merely a
series of straws showing how the more
important elections of 1902 may go. No
great national questions are involved
in any of the campaigns.

LOOKS LIKE GORMAN.
Indications That Democrats
Have Carried Maryland.

Baltimore. Nov. 5.-Fully rs per cent.
of the registered vote has been cast at
1 o'clock, with indications that the
Democrats have made such gains in the
city and state as to insure the election
of their ticket. While there is some
doubt as to the result in the city, there
seems to be little in the counties, all
advices Indicating Democratic victory
in the doubtful districts. The Repub-
icans are inclined to concede Demo-
cratic success in two or three legisla-
tive districts in Baltimore city, and the
indications point to a Democratic ma
jority in the legislature, which means
the reelection of Mr. German as Unit
ed States senator.

MINNEY GIVES UP.
Abandons His Overland Automobile
Trip.

DR.. Ernest Minney. who with Mrs.
Minney, started on a trip overland to
California in his automobile nearly a
week and half ago was forced to aban-
don the idea and complete the trip by
rail when he reached Stafford, Kansas.
The trip was abandoned because of
the fact that Mrs Minney was unable to
endure it. She has been suffering with
lung trouble and the travel overland ir-
ritated her lungs. She stopped at STAFF
ford a few days to visit with friends
and continued the trip to California by
rail. The automobile will be shipped to
California after the arrival Of Mr.. and
Mrs Minney.

for the murder of his wife, Madge Il.
Calhoon, at Mound Valley, on October
bride was only 16 years old. Shortly
after this marriage Mrs. Calhoon'S
father died of what was reported to be
heart disease. He carried some life IN
surance.
It is still thought thar Ca1hoon will
waive a preliminary hearing for the
reason that he fears violence if he is
taken back to Mound Valley. The dis
trict court will meet in this city today.
It is not believed DR.. Calhoon's case
will come up at this time, as it is hard
ly expected the defense will be ready.

OVER CHRIsT'S TOMB.
Rival Factions Overpower
Guards and Fight Battle.

Jerusalem, Nov. 5.-The church of the
Holy Sepulchre, surmounting Christ's
tomb, was the scene of sanguinary
ARRAY Monday last between F'ranciscans
and Greeks, during which there were a
number of casualties on both sides. The
dispute arose on the question as to
which community had the right to sweep
the church. Troops had been posted in
the vicinity for several days previous
to the outbreak, in order to prevent the
anticipated collision, but they were sud
denly outnumbered and overpowered by
the contending parties.

Al little Halloween spirit, left over
from last night, infected Frank Allen,
Judge GIendenning and some of the
other court house officials. While Geo.
Young was at dinner his cow, which had
been grazing in the court yard, was

SHOULD HAVE WALKED.
County Attorney Will Not Be Allowed
Livery Hire.

County Auditor WEIGH has decided
that the county attorney and his dep
uties must walk hereafter when going
to justice courts in the country to at
tend to legal business for the county.
Not long ago Assistant County At
torney J.. r. McNary went to Justice
Vests court at Swinburn. He hired
horse and buggy of liveryman, and
put in a bill for the same for 81. The
county auditor decided that as McNary
is sound of limb that he could have
walked and saved the county the money
paid out for livery, and that anyway
there is no law which says that the
county shall pay for livery hire for the
county attorneys office.

New York, Oct. 12.-The cause of the
relapse of prices in to-day's stock

the same was true of the sudden ad-
