PURSUED.

Denver. Nov. 11.-Governor- elect
Peabody was at republican headquar-
ters this morning. He spends most
of his time in conference with party
leaders. He has given it out that he
will not receive applications for Office
until after November 10. He pro-
poses to devote the intervening time
to the work of finding out just who
has been elected and who has fallen
by the wayside. In spite of his de-
termination not to received applica-
tions for office he is not free from the
opportunities of otficce seekers who
are thronged about headquarters and
at his hotel. Most of the men who
are troubling him now are the men
who will be willing to take anything
they can get. They start in by want
ing to be president of the fire and po-
lice board or the board of public
works, but they will end by being
janitors, fire wardens, or anything
else they can get. Congressman
Brooks and Hogg were also visitors at
headquarters today.

ALvA ADAMS
ELECTED.

Pueblo, Colo, Nov. 1O.-"I am

that the complete returns from every
county in the state gave him a ma
jority of fifty three votes over Frank
lin E. Brooks. his republican oppon
ent for congressman at large. Il
have not given up the fight and
though the returns as set forth in the
daily press have given Mr.. Brooks a
safe plurality, 1 have felt that the
official count would show large
difference in the result. feel con
tident that l received legitimate ma
jority in Arapahoe county. much
larger than my friends claimed for
me. 1t was not improbable that the
official canvass of the vote in this
county will cut down the republican
majority. The wholesale claims
that the republicans have been max
ing since midnight of election day
have in measure discouraged the
democrats from making any investi-
CATION into the authenticity of the
figures upon which the claims were
based. | felt that this attitude was
"A mistake and that the extravagant
assertions made by our opponents
would be revealed by the official
count. My position has not been

CADETS HAVE A SHAM BATTLE
One Man stabbed in the Leg with a
Bayonet the sum of the
Casualties.

SEWARD, Neb., May 31.-(Special Tele-
gram.)-The expected sham battle occurred
this afternoon. The battalion was divided
into attacking and defending parties. The
attacking company came down the blue
river and made an advance on the camp.
A sklrmlsh line was sent out in advance
and a larger force was held for reserve. All
the men were supplied with five rounds Of
blanks. The sun had come out hot after
noon and the boys sweltered and wilted
charging out in the hot sun. The rules OF
the battle were that whatever force lad
the largest number at the race track had
the honors Of capture. Owing to some mis-
understanding and a series of fiukes the
attacking force gained possession Of the
camp. In a general charge and mixup
through the misunderstanding one man of
Company d was accidentally stabbed twice
In the calf Of the leg with a bayonet. This
was the only accident. The injured man
went to Lincoln this afternoon.
The battalion made up a picked nine this
afternoon and defeated the Seward nine
by a score Of s to 5. The playing was fast
and furious.
The officers sat in court-martial this
morning investigating an alleged case Of a
noncommissioned officer interfering with
the guard. A sentinel last night was re-
lleVed OF mis- gun Dy the use OF q well
planned trick. The gun was found in a
first sergeant's tent and he was charged
with completely in the case. On investiga-
ton there was not enough evidence to con-
Wet him. An officer was also implicated,
but he was dismissed. The court-martial
was conducted by Commandant Smoke in
the regulation order. Officers and witnesses
were all duly sworn in. This was for the
schooling OF officers.
Nothing serious was attached to the
charges under the circumstances.
In the ball game this afternoon Major
Hull suffered a fracture OF one of the bones
Of the right forearm. While batting the
ball struck him.
A number OF the cadets have, with spe-
cial permission, returned home today. This
evening a dance Is in progress at the camp,
where a large dancing platform Is put to
use. Large crowds are visiting the camp,
though the lines are closed. Because Of a
planned night sham battle the cadets are
required to be in early tonight.
Company G gained the honors in target
practice, the average score being high, and
a private making "a out OF a possible rs
points.
No university people visited the camp,
as was expected. Tomorrow's program will
be services by the college Young Mems
Christian association in the morning: Cap
tain Smoke will speak and camp will be
broken about the middle of the afternoon.
A special will carry the cadets to Lincoln.

OF them are now in existence. Some have
failed, others have consolidated and still
others have removed from the state, while
out Of business. But so far as the state
knows they are all alive and transacting
business as provided for by their articles.
The fees received In the secretary Of
states ONCE during the year 1901 about equal

ment during the four years Of the fusion
administration Among them were several
big ayments for recording the articles Of
railroad companies, one being for SIC, 900.
A few weeks ago a party Of Chicago In
vestors organized a gas company under the
laws Of Nebraska. They do not propose 70

where they will maintain an office, but Will
merely hold securities OF other gas com
panies, and 1t is admitted that most Of their
business will come from outside OF Ne
braska. and. in fact, be transacted outside
of the state.

A destructive tornado started this after
noon from Nevada gulch, a few miles above
this city. and though its pathway was
through one Of the most thickly settled por-
lions OF the county and is strewn with
Ereckage, no lives we're lost.
II struck the north part Of the city at 1
Jclock and cut a swath through a number
81 small buildings. threw a train Of box

and then jumped over the divide into Terra

engines, tore of part OF the roof Of the
mill building and wrecked about 500 feet Of
