BETWEEN TWO FIRES.
Racine andsKenosha Both Want Cooper to
PULP for Naval Station.


Pull" for Naval Station.
Lieut.. Com. Wins1ow and Civil En-
g1neer Rousseau, the two Government
officials who werein the city yesterday,
inspecting the sites offered for naval
station, were entertained by Kranz,
Boyd, Walker and"other members of
the Business1Men s association, before
their departure. The commission was
non-committa1g as TO which of the
various sites inspected appeared most
suitable, but practically admitted that
the grounds between Racine and North
Point filled all the requirements.
It now remains for Racine's repre-
sentative in Congress to show how big
is his pull as it is generally con-
coded that the best site imaginable
would fall through without a pull.
Congressman Cooper is looked upon as
being between two fires, as Kenosha
also wants the naval station, and SEN
ator Quarles is also divided between
Milwaukee, his present residence, and
Kenosha, his former home.-Racine
Times.

ST. Louis, Nov. 5.-In several dis

close, and definite results will proba-

Republicans Claim 100000 Plurality on
the State Ticker.
Columbus, o.. Nov. 5.-The Repub-
leans carried Ohio yesterday by next
to their highest plurality on record.
Nothing above 10000 had been pre-
dicted, but partial returns indicate that
it will greatly exceed those figures. At
the same time the Republicans are
likely to lose representative in con-
gress. The present Ohio delegation
consists of seventeen Republicans and
four Democrats and the returns show
sixteen Republicans and four Demo
Gratis elected, with the Twelfth district
in doubt.
Chairman Dick said: Returns to
this hour do not change our estimate
of 100000 Republican plurality" Dur
ing the campaign it was said that any
reduction of the Republican plurality
in Ohio would be considered a prelim-
mary victory for Mayor Johnson over
Senator Hanna in the senatorial con-
test of next year.

New York, Nov. 5.-In spite of the
phenomenally large vote in New York
and Kings county for Bird S. Coler,
Dem, the returns up to a late hour
last night indicated the reelection of
Benjamin B. Odell, Rep, to the gov
ernorship of New York state by plu,
rality Of 1864. Colers plurality in the
Greater New York exceeded 10000, a
surplus of 5000 above the claim made
by Charles F. Murphy, leader of Tam
many Hall, but even that large vote
was not sufficient to overcome the Re
publican majorities from up the state.
Odell's vote in the country districts
was lighter than two years ago, but
Coler's was also lower than Stanch-
fields in the same year.
In New York city Coler's plurality
was approximately 1850, made up
as follows: New York county, $1,000;
Kings county, 26,5OO; Queens, $500,
and Richmond, $780, Figures from the
congressional districts in New York
city and the Long Island counties ap-
parently show loss OF four members
Of the national house to the Republic
ans, the heavy Coler vote having car,
ried the first nineteen districts in the
state for the Democratic candidates.
All returns indicate that Judge Gray,
Democrats candidate for judge Of the
court Of appeals, ran somewhat ahead
of his ticket.
The Democrats made gains in the
state legislature, but the gains were

Denver, Nov. 5.-Returns from the
state indicate that Colorado has elect
ed full Republican ticket by small
majorities. This is conceded by lead
ing Democrats, though not by Chair
man Smith. The Democratic congress
sional candidates are claimed to have
run ahead @of their ticket, and one or
more of them may be elected.
81 The legislature will undoubtedly be
Democratic on joint ballot, as there
are seventeen Democratic hold-over
senators. This insures the return of

ILLINOIS RETURNS ARE SLOW
State Is Republican by $4,000, but Some
Districts Are Doubtful

State Is Republican by $4,000, but Some
Districts Are Doubtful.
Chicago, Nov. 5.-The Republicans
have carried Illinois by a plurality of
about $4,000. The Republican leaders
claim that they have elected Busse for
state treasurer by $4,000 and Manner
for clerk of the supreme court by 49,
600. The Republicans will have at
least fourteen representatives in con-
greSS, as against eleven in the last
congress. The Democrats are sure of
nine representatives, and may secure
two more. The contest in the Sixth
congressional district is exceedingly
close, and it may require the official
count to determine the result. Lori
mer has slight lead, but Durborrow
was gaining slowly as the late returns
came in. The election of Toss in the
Tenth district is doubtful.
On returns on the election for men,
bers of the state legislature the best
information is that the Republicans
will have majority of both the sena-
tors and Representatives from this
county, and control the legislature. In
the city of Chicago the election was
full Of surprises. The Republicans
triumphed in Democratic strongholds
and the Democrats returned the COM
pliment in fullest measure The head
of the Republican ticket, Busse, the
candidate for state treasurer, has car
ried the city of Chicago and county Of
Cook by approximately 1900, and at
the same time Barrett, the Democratic
candidate for sheriff, has undoubtedly
beaten the Republican nominee by
about 10000

FAIRBANKS ELECTION Is SURE

State Legislature.

Republicans Garry Indiana, Including the
State Legislature.
Indianapolis, Nov. 5.-Indiana went
Republican yesterday by from $4,000
to 10000. The congressional delega-
ton remained the same-with nine Re-
publicans and four Democrats. The
legislature will be about twenty-five
Republican on joint ballot, and Sena-
tor Fairbanks will be reelected to the
United States senate This estimate is
based on unofficial returns received at
the headquarters of the Democrats and
Republican state central committees,
and from the specials received from
every county in the state. Throughout
the state the Republicans legislative
ticket led the local candidates.
State Chairman Goodrich, of the Re-
publican committee said: --latest adj
vices indicate that our plurality in the
state will not fall below 10000 and
may reach 10000. The result on the
legislative ticket is unusually crafty
ing. We have not less than 10000 ma
jority on joint ballot, controlling both
houses. Secretary Kelley, of the Demo
cratic state committee, comedies the
state to the Republicans by from 25,-
600 to 10000.

Mosquito a Benefactor.

Ever since experiments began with a
view to the complete determination of
the mosquito scientists have asked them
selves what would happen in case the
disagreeable little insect was wiped out
of existence altogether. The consensus
of opinion is that mankind minus the
mosquito will be more unfortunately sit
uated than with 1t. In other words, the
mosquito mustn't be exterminated despite
the fact that the benefits it confers are
greatly overshadowed by its sanguinary
traits.
Although the female mosquito does all
the biting and stinging and is reaHy re-
sponsible for the great cutlery against the
pest and the urgent demands for extermi-
nation, she is also entitled to mankinds
deepest gratitude The male mosquito
neither bites nor stings and science has
thus far failed to find wherein his field of
beneficial duty lies
With the determination of the female
mosquito large portions of the state of
New Jersey, and especially the marshy
districts, would be rendered totally unin-
habitable in summer In thsee low-lying
districts, where the spring rains have
left pools of water to dry up with the in
creasing warmth of the suns rays, Mrs.
Mosquito deposits myriads of eggs. These
are Matched in due time, producing lar
vac and pupae-tiny wrigglers whose mis-
sion on earth is the vastly Important one
of purifying these waters. Without them
the waters would soon stagnate and be-
come so pestilential that no human be-
ing would be allie to withstand their
baneful influences. The never-ceasing ac-
tivity of the wrigglers in their watery
homes revivifies and purifies the pools,
keeping them sweet and pure, notwith-
standing the fact that they may be ex-
posed to the suns torrid rays for many
months.
Experiments made with two barrels of
rain wafer seem to justify this declara-
ton of science. One barrel was closely
covered with mosquito netting so that
the female mosquito could not gel to the
water. In time the water became foul
and unwholsome. The other barrel was
left uncovered. Soon the water swarmed
with tiny wrigglers. whose rapid and I'M
ceasing gyrations literally churned the
fresh air through it-in other words re-
placing the exhausted oxygen and keep
ing the water sweet and pure.
