COUNTY TICKET.
THE ELECTION AND CONGRESS.

In the lull while the election battle
wages speculation as to the outcome
would be of little value. The closely
drawn lines of probability may afford
a little better ground. A careful Wash
ington estimate shows that the repub-
fall below sixteen, and will probably be
more than twenty. In the house of rep
resentatives the republican majority
over all opposition will probably be be-
tween sixteen and fifty-six. OF course
the country is prepared for almost any
thing In an off year. and hence such
different results as may follow should
not be surprising.
The terms of thirty senator's will ex-
pire on March 3, 1903 There is little
doubt about the politics of the legisla-
lures which will elect their successors,
and 1t can be safely predicted that six
teen of them will be succeeded by re-
publicans There are two vacancies in
the list of hold over senators, due to the
failure of the legislature of Delaware
for the last four years to elect sena-
tor, and Delaware Is now practically
the only element of doubt in the sena-
torial situation. If a legislature should
be elected there which would choose
two republican senators, 1t would In
crease the number of republicans to
eighteen, which, added to the thirty
seven republican hold over senator's,
would give the republicans fifty-five
out of total membership of ninety. or
a majority of twenty. If Delaware
should send two democrats 1t would re-
duce the republican membership to fif-
ty-three, and increase the democratic
membership to thirty seven, thus re-
ducing the republican majority to six
teen.
While 1t is believed that the house
will be carried by the republicans, there
Is more uncertainty about it than the
senate. Out of the total of $50 congress
districts there are 345 which can be
counted upon with reasonable certain
ty. OF these 2o1 are put down in con-
sentative estimates as certainly repub-
iican and 144 as certainly democratic.
This leaves forty-one districts in doubt.
Of the forty-one doubtful districts an
extremely conservative estimate is that
the republicans have by far the best
chance in at least twenty, leaving
twenty-one TO the democrats. If, how
ever, the tide should set more strongly
In favor of the democrats than now
seems probable, and all the doubtful
districts should go democratic, the re-
publicans would still hold POI districts
to the democrats 1876, thus leaving the
republican majority sixteen. If the
tide should turn more strongly toward
the republicans and they should elect
their candidates in the doubtful dis
tricts In which they seem to have an
advantage, they would have total of
221, or a majority of fiftysix.

Uncle Sans Farm.
New York World.l


1t Will be surprise to most persons
in the east to learn from the report of
Commissioner Hermann of the general
land office that more homestead lands
We're given to settlers in 1901-1902 than
in any previous year. Uncle Sam still
has land enough to give us all a farm"
He gave away 19,4SS,530 acres last year
to make 10000 average
quarter section" farms and to support
100000, including families and farm
laborers. In addition s6,25O,000 was OBJ
tanned from land sales and fees. And
900,000,00O acres and more remain I'M
claimed-enough to last forty five
years, even at the present rapid entry
and settlement.

Tons of Colorado Celery for the East.
TDenyer Neyvs1

Colorado celery is this year for the
first time being shipped east. From
an insignificant business of a few years
ago 1t has developed to an enormous, in
dustry. Three years as'o such a thing
as shipping celery to tie eastern mar
kets was unheard of. But few en-
terprising spirits decided to make the
experiment and were amply rewarded
for their efforts. The returns were so
large that the next year they shipped
nearly their entire crop east. Since then
the business has DEVELOPED rapidly and
this year will be the banner season of
them all. Nearly twenty-five cars have
been shipped, and a conservative .asti-
mate for the season would be that not
less than forty cars will be shipped al
together. AS each car load will easily
average $4,000 pounds in weight, 1t
means that fully 960,00'D pounds of cell
cry will be used for export trade alone.

TAME EAGLE CAPTURED.
IReinbeck Standard

August Flatterich captured a large
gray eagle in front Of George Mason's
place last Tuesday while at work in the
field He did not notice the bird until
he was quite close to it. His first i'm
pulse was to kill it with club, but as
he approached it he noticed that it was
not in the least alarmed, and he soon
discovered it was a tame eagle that
had escaped from it's owner. He took
it in his hands and carried it home,
where it can row be seen by any one.
1t measures six feet two inches from
tip to tip of wings. 1t is strange, indeed
how 1t happened to be in this part of
the country.

that the drouth is to be resumed thru

The Shenandoah Sentinel believes the
supreme court delivered "a solar plexus
blow" to the whisky interests of this
state in the express decision, and says:
This is the most favorable action that
has been taken by the courts concern
ing liquor selling by the express COM
panies and will have the effect of clos
ing up many of the express company
saloons"
In referring to the movement now on
foot in Butler county, which may sue
coed this time tho it failed before, the
GAINESVILLE Star does not favor the
liquor traffic and joins with the great
majority that it should be either entire
ly abated or kept at minimum. 1t
does like to see justice. 1t believes that
Abrams has done the temperance cause
in Butler county more injury than good.
Many there are who claim the right to
use liquor in compliance with the law
and their names count on mulct petit
ton. The druggists who have been
made defendants in cases where there
has been no evident intent to violate
the law naturally rebel against nom

Two new farmers telephone lines are
now under way of construction, which
will be centered in Maxwell, one north

HusKING IN PROGRESS.

Nearly all the farmers have begun
corn husking. The favorable weather
of the past ten days has dried out the
corn to some extent but it is still in
poor condition to crib. Measured by
bulk the crop is a good one. But the
quality is generally poor, and an aver
age of one-fourth of the entire crop is
not matured, and if the corn Is to be
marketed or stored it must be sorted
out in the huSking

Scarlet Fever Dying Out.

No new cases of scarlet fever have
been reported among the scholars Of
the public schools for several days
now and it is believed that the spread
is over. There have been but three
cases at the North Grammar. Two of
these have been out IS days and one
- days so that it is believed that all
danger of infection is passed in that
vicinity.
The largest number of cases have
been found among the scholars of the
Western avenue school, but no new
cases have been located and it is
thonght there will be no more there
now. Everything is being done that
is necessary in the way of disinfecting
and quarantining and it looks as if
the disease was well under foot.
