TUESDAYS ELECTION.

The estimated vote of the State
in Tuesdays election is given at
about 175,000, the smallest vote
polled in Tennessee for a number
of years. Apathy did it, and the
manifested Indifference was not
confined to either party. Even in
East Tennessee, the combined ef-
forts Of the Republican candidates
and federal office-holders failed to
arouse the voter.
misunderstanding the general
apathy and seeming indifference,
the Tennessee Democracy won a
glorious victory. The very latest
estimate gives Frazier a majority
Of over $4,000.
Congressman Sims is reelected
by good majority.
Harvey Hannah went after Glib
sons scalp in the Second district,
and pounded his majority Of over
l3,000twoyears ago down to a scant
l,500 majority. Brownlow is re-
turned to Congress 10y greatly re-
duced majority. The Tennessee
delegation in Congress stands the
same-8 Democrats and 2 Repub-
licans.
The latest report as to the'result
in this senatorial district, which is
hanging in the balance, is favora-
BILE to Tuten. 1t may require the
official count to decide thesenator-
ship.
Leslie wins by safe majority,
though he was scratched in two
or three districts of this county,
He carried Decatur County by a
good majority.
A revised list of the legislature
gives the Democrats larger lead
than the early returns indicated
While there is a little doubt con-
cerning two or three members OF
the senate, the Democrats. made al
most clean sweep. Based on un-
official returns the senate will be
composed of 28 Democrats and 8
Republicans, and the complexion
of the house will be IS Democrats
and Ia Republicans.
The vote in Benton County was
only a little more than half.,of the
voting strength of the county. In
afew districts there was not enough
voting to tally for some of the can
didates.
The vote of the county, based on
telephone reports, is estimated as
follows:
Governor Frazier, 887; Camp
bell, 513 Democratic majority
374. The vote for railroad COM
missioner is about the same as fol
governor.
Congressman Sims, 844; Davis
555. Sims majority-289.
State Tuten, 863; Jack.
son, 321. Tuten's majority-542
Floater-Leslie, ISL; Presson
625. Leslie's majority-156.

THE RINGLINGS.
"The Greatest Show In the
World" Justify the Claim.

The Ringing Bros. are possessed of
genuine genius along the lines OF fur
nishing instructive amusement to the
masses. From modest beginnings on
ly few years ago, they have advanced
from triAing hall exhibition, step
by step, until it would seem they have
reached the absolute limit. 1t re-
lires acres of tents to cover their
audiences, and acres more to shelter
their herds of horses and army of men.
And yet the Ringing show is no better
now in it's field, than was the modest
one which they originally organized
it was the best. One secret of their
success is and ever has been their
strict conscientiousness in advertising.
In street parlance, what they say goes.
Sank Centre was peculiarly favored
by them this season, the only city be-
tween ST. Paul and Grand Forks in
which they pitch their tents.
Atearly daylight long professions
of teams came filing into the city upon
every highway, and this continued for
hours. The Great Northern yards
were crowded long before the three
great trains of over twenty cars each
arrived, intent upon missing nothing
of the show. There is, in fact, a fas-
cination in watching the clock-like
regularity and oily smoothness with
which every detail is executed. The
organization and disciplin is as COM
plete, thorough and precise as that of
an army. In an incredibly short time
every car was emptied and every ar
ticle of equipment doing duty in con-
tributing to the perfection of the cir
Gus. Even the animals, horses, ele-
plants and camels moved with trained
precision. They knew what was ex-
pected of them and they did it.
AT the appointed time the street
parade moved between walls of curious
and interested humanity, and it was
splendid exhibition of itself, we'll
groomed horses, as sleek and round as
silk hat, attached to gilded cages,
with herds of elephants and camels,
with colossal music chariots with
their excellent bands, open cages of
lions and tigers-it was suggestive of
an oriental pageant.

FACTS IN FEW LINES

According to Golfers Weekly, the
most destructive shot fired in the Phil
ippines was fired accidentally by
Philippine corporal who put lighted
cigarette in a six inch shell to discover
if it was loaded. He never was able to
tell, for he was one of the twenty or
thirty men killed.
A Bohemian couple holds the record
for procrastination. Franz Rosner, 100
years of age, was married on his death
bed to Anna Renner, aged ninety-three,
at Oberpolitz. The groom died two
days later. The two had been in love
for seventy-five years. but had kept
putting off the wedding day.

NAVAL APPROPRIATION BILL.
Provisions of the Measure as Agreed
on in Conference.

Washington, July 1.-THE conferees
of the two houses on the naval bill
reached an agreement at II o'clock on
the one point left in dispute after for
mer conferences. This point related
to the contention between the two
houses as to whether any of the pro-
posed new war vessels should be built
in government navyyards. The house
had originally provided that half Of
them should be constructed in gov.
eminent yards and the other half by
contract. The senate provided for the
construction of all by contract. The
compromise agreement authorizes the
construction of one battleship in q
government yard and also others in
case of emergency.

Off Workmen and Compel Many of
Them to Return Home.
Wilkesbarre, Pa, July 1.-The first
loss of life during the anthracite strike
occurred during the day at the Will
lam A. colliery at Duryea. Antonio
Guisuepe, an italian, was shot dead
by one of the coal and iron policemen
from behind the stockade of the col
iery. Reports differ as to the cause
of the shooting. The friends of the
dead man say he was walking on the
road near the stockade when he was
fired upon. The man was on his way
from Scranton to Duryea at the time.
Another report is that the Italian tried
TO get over the fence and would not
heed the warning from the policeman
to go away. He insisted on making
his way into the stockade and was
fired upon. There is much indignation
over the shooting and the sheriff of
Lackawanna county was summoned to
take steps to preserve order as it was
reported that there would be an up
rising among the foreigners and that
they would attack the stockade before
night. The body lay in the roadway
for some time. The coal and iron po-
lice would not venture outside Of the
stockade to remove it and the people
living in the vicinity did not want to
take it away until the arrival of the
coroner. When the sheriff of Lacka-
wanna county reached the scene he
ordered the body removed to an under
taking establishment.

CLOSING SCENES IN HOUSE.
Many Bills Of Local Interest Only Get
Through.

Through.
Washington, July 2.-The house met
at 10 o'clock with all the indications
pointing to a final adjournment at the
end of the days session. Despite the
early hour and the lateness of the ses.
sion the previous night there was a
large attendance upon the floor. The
galleries also were well filled with
spectators.
Immediately after the approval OF
the journal a scramble for recognition
began. Members with small bills OF
interest to their constituency were ex
cecdingly anxious to secure action
upon them and dozen of them werg
almost constantly on their feet clam
oring for opportunity to call them up.
Owing to the fact that but one item in
one appropriation bill remained in dis
pute between the two houses many
members were fortunate.
