NEXT YEAR WILL BE
ONE OF ACTIVITY
Rock Island Should Lose no Time in
Preparing for Inter
urbanS.

During the year that is near at
hand there will without doubt be
great activity in interurban construc-
ton in this part of the state At
least three lines are now being built
that viii sooner or later, probably
next year, knock for admission to
Rock Island. Two are expected to
come from the east and one from the
south. This renders it highly imPor-
tant that Rock Island shall not stop
in the work of preparing way by
which the city can be reached from
the south. Rock river bridge improve
ment should not be allowed to lag.
The letting of the contract for the
south or sixth bridge, the work to be
done this winter, is move in the
right direction, as is the removal of
the two small bridges and filling IN
their place at the Sears and Hakes
canals. This much is provided for,
and there remain to be looked after
only two bridges. the one spanning
the main channel and the next one
south. With the funds that the city
is expected to receive from the work
of the tax ferrets the burden will be
lightened so that there ought to be
no insurmountabe difficulty in the
way Of going ahead with the work
that is so well started. There is moth
inc in the way of Improvement that
takes precedence over the betterment
IF the city's one avenue of approach.

Effc-noCu re.

High tea is said to b, Of 'I:lerican
origin. The earliest mention of it, ac-
cording to DR.. Murray, goes no further
back than 1886. In fact. tea as an aft
CruOon meal is not much older. II is
thought to have originated in 1887 in
the house of Mime. de Circourt, 4 Rus
sian lady, whose salon in Paris was at
that time much frequentcd by the most
Intellectual society of the day. The
fashionable dinner hours were then
getting late, and size introduced q 4
O'Clock light meal, at which tea was
served. Fanny Kemble in Records of
q GirlhOCd" attributes the introduc-
ton Of the afternoon meal into this
country to the then Duchess of Bed
ford. Fanny Kcmble paid a visit to
BclvOir castle in March. 1912, and she
relates low mysterious invitation was
received TO the duchess private rooms,

RESULT OF ELECTION
MCCLELLAN DEFEATS Low FOR
MAYOR OF NEW YORK.
Herrick Defeats Tom johnson In Ohio,
and Hanna viii Be Returned to
the Senate--Result In the
State Of Utah.

The result of the elections in the
several states brought many surprises
especially in New York City, where
II was confidently expected that Low
the Fusion candidate. would have an
easy victory, instead of which it de.
velops that the Democratic candidate,
George b. Mcclellan. son of the civil
war veteran, was elected by plural
ity of about 10000, despite the fact
that there was united against him
nearly all the newspapers and prac-
tically every minister of religion in
the city. This result shows a tremen-
dous change of public sentiment since
Mayor Lows election two years ago,
when he won by 1852. At that time
he carried all the boroughs but
Queens, his plurality in Manhattan
and the Bronx being 5,GG3; in Brook
Ign, 25,767, and in Richmond, 1856.
Tuesday Mcclellan carried Manhat-
tan and the Bronx by about $4,000, a
gain of $4,000; Brooklyn by G,000, a
gain of $1,000, and Queens by about
5000, gain of more than 1000. This
makes a total net gain for Mcclellan
of about 10" 900. as compared with
Shepard's vote of two years ago. Low
carried only one borough-Richmond
by about 200 votes.
In Ohio Herrick is elected by the
largest majority ever given gov
ernor in the state Senator Hanna
will be returned to the senate, the
legislature being overwhelmingly for
him. MASSACHUSETTS gives Republi-
cans $4,000 majority; Pennsylvania,
$4,000; Iowa, 10000; Nebraska, TO-,
900; Colorado, 5000. New Jersey
elects Republican legislature. The
Democrats carry Maryland, Rhode
Island and Kentucky

THE ELECTION IN UTAH.
Democrats Win In Salt Lake City
While Republicans Carry Ogden.

The election in Salt Lake City re-
suited in a victory for the Democrats,
who elected the mayor, treasurer, re-
corder, auditor. attorney and seven
members of the council. the head of
the ticket having a plurality Of
about 1000. The next council, how
ever. will contain eight Republicans
and seven Democrats.
The Republicans won a sweep
ing victory in Ogden, electing the
entire general ticket and eight of
the ten councilmen. In the Fifth
ward on the face of the returns, EN-
NETT (Dem.) appears to have defeat
ed Driver (Rep) by two votes, and
in the Fourth ward Dawson (Dem.)
defeats Henderson, (Rep) by twenty
eight votes. The general ticket was
elected by about 500 majority, Howell
for municipal judge leading the ticket
with 1,40S over Chez (Dem.).
At Provo, William Roylance Demo
crat, was elected Mayor. The Re
publicans saved most of the general
ticket and half of the council.

determined that none of the Indians
shall escape.
Governor Chatterton is investigating
this last report and II II is true and
the situation is as alarming as indi-
Gated, he will at once send troops into

Lusk. A number Of Indians were cap
tured and were taken to Newcastle.
The Indians were led by Eagle
Feather. alias Charlie Smith, a full
blooded Sioux Indian, who is a gradu.
ate of the Carlisle Indian school and
who formerly played on the Indian

ously wounded, being shot through
both legs. Black Kettle, notorious
