The People Of the Country
Endorse the Protective Pol
icy Of the Party.
HOUSE SOLIDLY REPUBLICAN.

The off-year fight is over, and the
Republican party and administra-
tion has cause to be proud of the
splendid endorsement accorded
their governmental policies by the
voters throughout the Union.
The house and every portion of
governmental control remains Re-
publican; and in several of the
eastern states where reticent dem
0Cracy was lured from it's hiding
place by ray of sunshine it's sup
porters may again retire for a per-
iod of rest, assured that the country
is still in the hands of the party
which will insure continued pros
perity to thrifty people.
THE LOCAL SITUATION,
In the state campaign harder
fight has not been put up for many
years, but the popularity of Gov.
Van SAINT and the general approval
of his present administration is
significantly voiced by majority
of about $1,000 over his Democratic
! opponent:
In the congressional contests the
Republicans won in all but one
district, the personal popularity of
former governor John Lind land
ing him in a congressional seat by
a safe majority.
In the Eighth, J. Adam Bede
wins, hands down, but by major
ity of approximately 5000 less than
was accorded Judge Morris in his
contest against Henry Truelsen
two years ago.
A great percentage of that loss
was in St. Louis county, and more
particularly on the iron ranges,
where the opposing candidates are
both well known, and where the
personality and: recognized honor
and integrity of Capt. n. L. Fay
ftf1e Democratic asp Mt, won many
staunch and deserved supporters
In the Legislative fight the Re.
publican nominees won by round
pluralities, Hon. E. B. Hawkins
having practically no opposition
while DR.. Graham and p. L. Dow
ling trailed we'll up with the gen
:eral Republican vote of the district
! The county contest was one o1
majorities, only, with but one ex
ception, that of sheriff. 1t is yer,
tame election when St. Louis coun
ty cannot scare up close thing
but the hair-splitting finish be
tween Butchart and Miller makes
! the closest shave on record, Mr.
Butchart being reported by unof
ticial returns to be the winner by {
margin of but twenty nine votes.
All other Republican county can
didates win by pluralities ranging
from 1000 to $500.
THE VIRGINIA VOTE.
The Virginia vote was an exceD
tionally light one, being consider
ably less than the registration o.
the vote cast at the primaries.
Party lines were lost sight of il
many instances, as Will be noted b,

NEW FACTS About INDIAN TERRI
w. TORY:
Among the great recent special
maps issued by the United States
Geological Survey is one of the
Indian Territory, which reveals for
the, first time the entire area of this
little known country. During the
last fewsyears the Geological Sur
veys had been pushing topographic
work il the Territory and has been
ssnipfopographic sheets cover
ing OF the country as fast
as they could be completed. The
map now issued, which is on scale
of approximately eight miles to the
inch, is 30 by 81 inches in size; it
combines all the main features of
the small 'er sheets, shows the set
Elements, boundaries, railroad lines
and drainage, and also gives an ex-
cellent idea of the topography, or
Inequalities of relief, by means of
contour lines. BY this method of
expressing relief the mountainous
portions of the eastern section are
strongly contrasted with the more
level country of the remainder Of
the Territory, and the general topo-
graphic relations of the whole area
appear.

BIG INCREASE IN SHIPMENTS.

The ore shipments from the Min
nesota ranges for the season ending
Oct. 81 aggregated 13,764,53o gross
tons, as compared with 9,813,7 ,795
gross tons in 1901. If November
proves to be a good month from
the standpoint of weather the ship
ments will be heavier than usual
for the month. 1t is now assured
that the shipments for the season
will be more than 14,5OO,O0O tons.
The Duluth, Missabe & Northern
! ore movement will continue active
far into the present month, unless
weather conditions are very unfa-
vorable, and the same is true of the
| Duluth & Iron Range. Some of the
mines on the Great Northern, how
ever are about to shut down. The
Sharon and Grant are among these.
The record for the Great Northern
will be about 100000 tons.
The Iron Range has passed the
five-million ton point in shipments
for the season, and the Missabe
road has also moved 100000 tons
to November l, though some of the
ore required to make this total was
still in the docks at the West End
yesterday. Following are the ore

The motion Of Fire Commissioner Sturgis
to vacate Justice Fitzgerald's stay of the
Croker sentence is to be argued tomorrow
morning in the Supreme Court and Corpora
ton Counsel Rives will conduct the case
personally in behalf Of the Commissioner.
Both Mr.. Rives and Mr.. Sturgis contend
that the case Is Of the greatest Importance
not only to the Fire Department, but TO
every department of the city govern
ment, since it makes possible the restoring
Of a dismissed subordinate who is thus placed
beyond the control Of his superiors. This
Is what Mr. Rives intends to bring out as
being Of infinitely greater importance than
the merits of Chief Cookers case In the
certiorari proceedings which the motion
does not affect.
The fact has. to n great extent, been lost

n majority Of the cases Of policemen and

made an application for such stay In the

"The principle involved In the granting
of such a stay is one that ought to be decided
right away. Suppose. for instance. that such
a stav should be granted police captain

crime This stay would put such a man

similar rmrked Manifestations Of friend

Nine. Gadski and Mr.. Bispham sang

The political campaign that just
closed has not been without its hum

and the different orators settle down
to regular business again there will be
many good stories told of unique ex-
experiences in different localities. One
of the interesting incidents already
related has to do with the way a GER
tain repu blican orator came into COM
petition with Cupid in town in the
northern part of the state. The ora
tor arrived IN this town one morning
about IL O'Clock and was to speak
there that night. A committee met

Salt Water in His Veins.

A Blufrton, Ind, telegram Of Octo-
ber 81 says: Medical men of the
county arg giving a good deal of at
tentiOn to Charles Sellers, teamSter,
who Is days ago ran splinter in his
thumb, lockjaw resulting ten days
later.
Anti-tetanic serum was injected
three times without result, and now
the saline is being used. Sixteen
ounces of blood are withdrawn every
morning, and an equal quantity of
salt water is injected in the patient S
veins. 1t is thought that this treat
ment is having a good effect.
The muscles of the jaw are relaxing.
while before the treatment they were
rigid. The physicians say that only
81 per cent. of lockjaw patients re-
cover, and there is no record in the
state of patient recovering where
treatment began as late as in the Sell

Bank Checks in England.

1t is hard for Americans to believe
that only forty years ago the use OF
bank checks in England for sums less
than sa5 was unknown. 1t is still
harder to belive the statement made
in English papers that the late chan
cellor of the exchequer supposed that
it was the rule still. she was not
alone in his ignorance, says the Lon
don Spectator. SAT least two liberal
statesmen of the cabinet rank shared
his delusion. Did you ever know a
check drawn for less than esp was a
question one OF these gentlemen put
to colleague on the front opposition
bench during the course of the debate.
1t seemed incredible to any one ac-
quainted with modern business meth
DDS that such ignorance should have
prevailed in high quarters. +"
