SHELBY COUNTY RESULTS.
Most of the Republican Candidates
Elected.


Special to Times Republican.
Harlan, Nov. 6.-The semi official
canvass of the result of the election
in this county gives the following ma
|jorities: Martin, secretary of state,
|213; Walter I. Smith. congressman, 50;
George Croft, republican, for auditor,
I21; H. v. Yackey, republican, for
clerk, 31S; r. L. Kent, democrat. for
recorder, 105; f. S. Carroll, democrat,
for attorney, 70; p. H. Ruffcorn, re-
publican, for member of board, $50.
The republicans of the county are
we'll pleased with the result, altho
they had hoped to elect their entire
ticket. The fact that the head Of the
ticket is few votes higher than last
year is source of qualification to the
local republicans. The result given
above shows that the republicans elect
ed three out of five of the county tick
ct by majorities ranging from 81 to 31S.
The defeat of w. B. Rowland for coun-
ty attorney was brought about largely
by the bitter fight that the saloon men
of the county made against him. Dur
ing his administration the saloons have
all been closed and the saloon men are
now going to circulate another petition.
With this object in view they spared
no effort or money to defeat Rowland
for county attorney. While G. w. Gull
lison ran ahead of his ticket in the
county he did not get so large vote
as his party had predicted that he
would and local republicans are quite
well satisfied that they were able to
give Congressman Smith majority
In the county.

AFFECTS COLLEGE
Will of New York Banker, Endower of
Palmer College, LeGrand, Does Not
Provide for Further Gift.

1t appears as if the trustees, students
and friends of Palmer College, Lee
Grand, were to be disappointed In the
will of the late Banker Palmer, of New
York, the man for whom the college was
named, and who endowed the institu-
ton about a year ago in the sum of
$4,000. Mr.. Palmer's gift was pre-
scented with the condition that the coll
lege would raise $4,000. This was
done, and the $4,000 paid.
It was generally understood, however,
that Mr. Palmer would make a provis-
ion in his will giving another $4,000 TO
the LeGrand school. A telegram sent
out to the press from New York states
that Attorney Kelly, who helped draw
the will of the late banker. is authority
for the assertion that Mr.. Palmer,s
wealth has been largely overestimated,
and that instead Of leaving In the
100000, as supposed,
his estate will not be over a half mill
ion. Mr.. Kelly further says that his
gift to Palmer College last year OF $S0.-
600. and $500, 900 each to Starkey Semi
nary and Muncie College, of New Jer-
sey represents all that may be ex-
pected by the schools in question.
The will will be opened next week,
and at that time President Summerbell
expects to receive an official notifica-
ton of the action of Mr.. Palmer. Hopes
are still maintained at LeGrand that
there is some mistake, and that the ex-
ira $4,000. promised, will be forth

Ottumwa, Nov. 6.-Claiming to be a
representative of Des Moines furni-
ture polish firm and offering as a pre-
MUM a years subscription to the La

of his polish. which he sold for so cents,
a young man, whose name is unknown

tour of OttumWa homes, taking there
from, as nearly as can be learned
about fifty orders, for which he secured
the money. Becoming suspicious of the
proposition. Mrs. A. T. Gardner, 40

the Curtis Publishing Company, maxi
ing enquiry as to the reliability of the
offer. This morning a telegram was re-
ceived by Mrs. Gardner as follows:
Twenty-Five dollars for the arrest and
conviction of the swindler."
The shrewd young man had a guam
tity of nerve and worked in this city
several days before he was frightened
away by some of the questions asked
him by few women who were inclined
to be skeptical of the proposition. Mrs.
Gardner did not take up with the OPP
portunity extended to her to get a
years subscription to the Journal with
a bottle of polish thrown in as an add
ed inducement, all for so cents, so she
wrote to the publishers of the maya
