THE LOCAL TICKET.
Republicans Make a Clean Sweep
in Town and County.

Locally the republicans have made
a clean sweep. The entire county
ticket is elected with majorities rang
ing from 500 to 700, The Oskaloosa
township ticket is elected by q solid
majority, and Major Lacey goes out
OF Oskaloosa with a plurality over
Reese of 200. He will have 500 or bet
ter in Mahaska county. The republi-
cans of Monroe and White Oak town
ships elected their entire ticket which
is remarkaDle showing for these pre-
cincts. Jefferson township in which
is located Bethel church where Major
Lacey made his opening campaign
speech, that has been talked about so
much by Mr.. Reese, the republicans
made gain of about forty. Though
the majorities on the county ticket
will De much less that two years go,
it must be borne N mind that 1900
was a presidential campaign and that
an unusually large vote was polled. In
the face Of the returns the democrats
can turn in no ERECTION in Mahaska
county for comfort. A few figures
showing the drift of affairs are APP

Letter to Geo. Andrews.
Oskaloosa, La


Dear sir: Some think we take q
good deal!of risk in inviting COM
plants of Devoe Ready Paint-we
authorize our agent to sell it under
this guarantee:
"If you have any fault to find with
this paint, either now.in putting it on J.,
or hereafter in the wear, tell your
dealer about it,"
1--WE authorize him to do what is
right at our expense"
The folio wing story tells how little
the risk is:
J. II. Asher 500, hardware deal
ers, Rhinebeck, N. Y, have sold
Devoe from '76 to now, and have had
just one complaint in all this time.
Three sides of house was perfect
the fourth was as bad as the three
were good.
Explanation-It rained the night
before the fourth side was painted
and the painters didn'G wait for the
wood to dry.
What is done in such a casei
Whatever the dealer, who sold the
paint, considers it fair to do. We
leave it to him. He may not do ex-
actly what we should If we were
there; but we are not there. The
best we can do is to leave it to him
Green & Bentley Drug Co. are our
agents in your vicinity.

JUDGES ELECTED.
The Three Republicans Win o u
in Easy Race,

The three republican candidates in
the Sixth judicial district did not seem
to know they had any opposition.
When the democrats tried to slip in
by putting up only one candidate when
they were entitled to three, they put
their heads in a halter that needed
only an election to show the foolish
ness of the move.
Conservative estimates from five
counties making up the district show
the following majorities for the re-
The Oskaloosa herald., 1902-11-06

Laceys plurality over Reese, 1862.
Indications are that Lacey's majority
will be increased rather than dimin-
ished when all the returns are in.
The reports show that practically
all of the Social.Jts' vote, which was
considerable two years ago, went to
Reese this year. This fact together
with the falling on of the vote from
the Presidential year explains the de.
crease of Mr. Lacey's majority this
year. Proportionately his vote is
equal to any time he has made the
race, and is handsome endorsement
Of his services and his popularity.
The Oskaloosa herald., 1902-11-06

From this must be taken 500 which
will be Hamilton's majority in Keo-
kuk county, leaving Scott, Preston
and Clements elected by majorities Of
1900.
The Oskaloosa herald., 1902-11-06

Major Lacey is returned to congress
by one of the largest majorities he has
ever had. His plurality over Reese
will not be less than 1000 and it may

the several counties, as obtained from
reliable sources was as follows:

STRIKE COMMISSION BILL.
the Board Is Passed by Both
Branches of Congr ess.

Washington, Dec. 22.-There were
not over rs members of the house
present Saturday at the last session
before the holiday recess. Immedi-
ately after converting Mr.. Cannon ex-
planned that it was important that the
coal strike commission bill and the
urgent deficiency bills be finally dis
posed of before the holiday recess.
The conference report upon the for
mer, he said, was in the senate, and
he asked that recess be taken until
it was returned from that body. A
recess was accordingly taken for 20
minutes.
non presented the conference report
on the coal strike commission bill, and
the report was adopted without dis
cussion.
The house remained in session until
the bill was enrolled and signed by
the speaker, and then. at 1885, .ad-
journed until January 5, 1908.
Washington, Dec. 22.-There were
81 senator's in their seats when the
senate was called to order for the last
sitting before the Christmas holi-
days.
Senator Allison, of the senate con-
ferees on the coal strike arbitration
bill, presented the report of the con-
ference committee. He explained
that the senate amendment fixing a
definite sum for the expenses and, COM
pensation of the commissioners and
employees and taking the question of
fixing these out of the hands of the
president had been retained, but that
the senate conferees had yielded to
the house to the extent of allowing
SIS per day to the commissionersfore x-
penses, instead of ten dollars, as fixed
by the senate.
The report was agreed to.

Judge Wakefield in district court at

her own hand signed away her widow s

Woodward was seventy-three years

his bride was about fifty. BY the con.
tract Mrs. Woodward was to recef -

But after marriage Woodward became

After years of effort, the Des Moines
companies of the Iowa national guard
are at last assured of an armory. 1t
will be provided by the erection of a
third-story on store property owned
by L. H. Bush on West Walnut street.
The building will be designed espe-
cially for armory purposes and will
afford commodious quarters and drill
hall of ample size. The companies in
Des Moines are A of the Fifty-fifth

the organization of third company.
