Mr.. ARN[Y Pulls THRU
Entire Republican County Ticket
Elected by Varying Ma.
jorities.
Arney for Supervisor Wins Out
With Several Hundred to
Spare.
Cummings For Representative
will Have Over 500
Majority.

The entire cu,nty republican ticket IN
Marshall county is elected, notwith-
standing that a vigorous fight was
made by the opposition on two of the
candidates, and especially on Mr.. p. r.
Cummings for representative MI cum
mings will have over 500 majority ana
Mr.. Arney in the neighborhood of 3O0 or
400 majority The vote In both city anu
county was unusually light, about ou
per cent of the full vote being polled.
Notwithstanding the light vote the head
of the republican ticket will have plu-
rality of from 1,100 to 1,2O0, the demo-
Gratis having lost thru stay-at-home
voters as we'll as the republicans
A most bitter and vigorous tight was
waged against Mr.. Cummings for rep
resentative, the democrats being ASSIST
ed by portion of the clique that op-
posed him in the republican primaries
notably by Messrs. Pierce and Will
liams. Others of that element conclud-
"a it the wiser course to stay out OF the
sfipht. and did so. In the face of this Or
panized effort, which became apparent
during the past few days, Mr.. Cum
mines made an excellent run and comes
to the city with a plurality OF over 6oo.
The city. which always has gone to the
support of democratic candidate when
fight was centered on one or two can
didates, gives Mr.. DAILY a small pluraii-
ty. !
The balance of the county ticket is
elected by pluralities well up with the
head of the state ticket. In the county
Mr. Arney for supervisor ran behind
Mr. Cummings, and comes to the city
with a plurality of about 200 In the
city. however. he was not scratched SO
extensively.
In the city less than so per cent CT the
vote was cast, the total vote on the
head of the ticket being l,791 out OF
total of 5000 votes. There was less IN
terest in the result than in any gen
eral election in years.
Up to / o'clock a. M sixteen OF the
.twenty-six precincts in the county had
sent in partial returns. and these We're
incomplete on the head of the ticket.
The balance of the precincts to be
heard from will not change the results
on the contested positions materially.
The vote on representative was as fol-
lows. so far as reported:

formal treaty but the authorities say
they have so clearly defined the posi-
tions of the two governments and es-
tablished such an absolute agreement
that there is no reason to appreheno
that any new diplomatic obstacle will
arise. The only question remaining te
lie determined is that of ratihcatlon, ano
while the authorities are hopefui ,hat II

the opposition there is naturally some
uncertainty.
Administration officials positively as

reports from London that the United
States has given quid pro quo for the
consent of Great Britain to the abroga-
ton of the Clayton Bulwer treaty.

MARYLAND.

Baltimore, Nov. 5.-Election returns
are coming in very slowly and at $3.50
p m. only one precint had been re-
ported. 1t gives a democratic majority
of Al which indicated that the city had
been carried by the democrats. Later
reports seem to bear out the prediction
that the democrats have carried the
legislature, which means the return OF
Arthur p. German to the United states
senate. German was the principal is
sue of the campaign. He began his
campaign by securing the passage of
what is known as the Maryland election
law at the special session of the iegis-
lature called for the purpose. The law
was so framed that the illiterate negroes
could not vote. Names of the candidates
are arranged on a ballot In alphabetic
order with the party designated by such
fine type as to make 1t difficult Tor the
ignorant voter to distinguish. The re-
pubiicans made a strong EFFORT TO pre-
pare the illiterates for voting. Schools
of instruction were held and thousands
of pairs of spectacles provided. but the
result showed that many ballots were
spoiled by the voters and had to be
thrown out in the count. The republi-
cans confidently expected to carry the
city of Baltimore, but the returns-up to
midnight indicates that hey We're dis
appointed. The following bulletins in
dcate the trend of the voting. The re-
suit can not be certainly foretold at this
hour.
Baltimore-Only one precint in Ball
timore city had been reported at $50
D. m. 1t gives democratic majority
of Al. This indicates that the city has
been carried by the democrats.
Baltimore. Nov. Sit is damp and
chilly, with prospects of rain. The vote
in this city is fairly heavy. There is no
great falling off in the colored vote.
Fully Is per cent of the registered vote
had been cast at / o'clock. with indica-
tions that the democrats made such
gains in the city and state as to insure
the election of their ticket. The repub-
llcans are inclined to concede democratic
success in two or three legislative dis
tricts in Baltimore and the indications
point to democratic majority in the
legislature, which means the re-electioD
of German as United States senator.

THE TREE PLANTER.

Tribute of fruits be his, and glossy wreaths
From roadside trees, and his the peoples love,
When East and West the wind Of summer
breathes
Through orchard shaded path, and signing
grove.
The foregoing lines were written by
that genial, gentle and lovable Ameri-
can poet, Edmund @. Steadman, on
Arbor Day in 1888. And-while they
were addressed personally to the author
and founder of that anniversary-they
apply to all who embellish the earth
with trees for fruit or foliage, and to all
who practice arboriculture the whole
wide world over.
And the same year Edith M. Thomas
wrote:
Let dead names be eternized by dead stone,
Whose substance time cannot increase nor
mar;
Let living names by living shafts be known,
That feel the influence of sun and star.
Plant thou tree, whose grieiess leaves shall
sing
Thy deed and thee, each fresh unfolding
spring.

full than I at first supposed and at some
future time shall enumerate some of
the curious forms, but in this paper 1
wish to mention the peculiar condition
existing throughout the whole area of
this Roca site, in the hope that some one
else may take up the subject and give
their observation along the same line.
The ground is strewn thickly with
broken pieces of rock, apparently frag-
ments of "Nigger Heads" (the igneous
rocks scattered by glacial action over
much of the state mostly of dark red
color but some are gray; all very hard
and unstratifed.) These pieces are
from one inch to three inches either
way and are broken in rectangular
form, often one inch thick, one inch
wide and one and half to two and a
half inches long.
There are too many of these rectangu.
lar rocks around this village site to be
an accident they were broken by design
and much skill has been used in the
breaking. I tried it myself and found
it quite difficult to make them as
uniform as the thousands that are to be
found in this village site.
Now these rocks had a use and my
theory is they were used as war
weapon, either to throw in a sling or to
fasten on shafts to hurl One writer in
some of the Spanish accounts mentions
the natives power to use the sling. I
can not tell which writer mentions it
but I have read it some where. The
edges are still sharp, so they are not a
glacial deposit or they would show worn
edges in some instances at least. The
rocks of this form are entirely absent in
the creek beds, but are found occasion
ally on hills or in fields other than at
the village site, but at the points in the
village site where Clipped f1ints are most
numerous these peculiar rocks are most
abundant. I should like very much to
hear from other points where like con-
ditions have been observed At Fuller.

did not connect them in my mind with

ting made of sunf1ower fiber, buffalo
hair or wild flax. This lining material
has received much attention from
students along these lines and is still
mooted question, but the imprint left on
the outside of the specimens is such that
the student can not be mistaken in call
ing it woven fabric. Whether it be
"matting" or whether it be cloth is of
little moment. It is Enthusiastically true
that it is woven of some material, either
sunflower fiber. wild flax or buffalo hair.
The latter being the easiest to obtain
seems the most probable material. The
buffalo sheds it's hair every spring and
great masses of it are found where they
rub themselves on trees or large rocks.
We are told that company of white
men was once formed to gather and
utilize the great quantities Of this
material found in British America in
an early day, but the company came to
grief because the product was not
marketable at price that would justify
it's manufacture.
We hope that careful study of the
impressions left on the pottery, in which
Prof. Mason of the Smithsonian Insti-
tuition has kindly promised to assist, may
forever settle the question as to the
material used to make this lining fabric.
A lining was extensively used through
out the central and eastern parts of the
United States and the impression left
on the pottery is the only means of
studying it.
In my last trip over the Roca site a
few days ago, picked up a piece of
burned clay which shows the wicker
work to have been split ibers of wood.
The impression of the grain of the wood
can be seen with reading glass and the
form of the wicker work can be de-
termined from this bit of clay. Had
the mode of manufacture not been
definitely settled before this it would go
long way in settling the matter, as it
is it only substantiates the accepted
theory.
Thus we see the evidences, lying at
our very feet, point us back over the
dark ages of the prehistoric past and
bring the existing conditions forward
where the light of science can read their
once unknown annals.
The pottery is made of clay feebly
burned with grass, reeds and buffalo
chips" which impart to it the black
color. 1t is tempered with quartz
pebbles, mica and pottery shards, while
the outside is frequently covered with
sand.

ance. I am not certain that q similar
sand is to be found any where else in
America each grain is real ruby in
miniature, worn by glacial action to
many faces and freqently sustaining a
fine polish. If this covering for the
pottery came from Spirit Lake it shows
the former inhabitants of the Roca site
to have been traders or wanderers they
either trafficked for the material or
went thence to get it.
Another evidence along this line is a
piece of pipe stone from the Minnesota
red pipe stone quarries, which found
on the Roca site. This specimen shows
work and must have come from the
Minnesota quarry, as it is found in no
other place.
The designs found on the pottery
specimens, which were made, doubtless,
for ornament, or possibly as tribal
trade mark, are worthy of an extended
research. They may prove of inesti-
mable value in revealing the history of
these people. A few characteristic
designs are found which seem to be
common to the whole United States. At
some future time we may undertake to
illustrate these different designs and let
those interested in Indian Swastikas
determine their value in that line.
They are made by hand with some
pointed tool, when the clay was plastic,
and are confined to the edges and
handles of the vessels. Cords were
pressed into the plastic clay, apparently
for purposes of ornament, in many
instances and grass impressions are not
uncommon. A frequently met orna.
ment was made by punching the clay
with the finger tips into points A circle
of these three sided points is often found
on the neck of the vessel just below the
upper edge.
No Evidence of Ornamentation.
The Indians of today like to ornament
their work with painted or stained
designs, but if this ancient ware was
ever ornamented in that way no evi.
dece exists today. There are a few
specimens found, however, where the
outside and inside are both coated with
