"WHAr's the matter with Co
binp" Is he all right1 That's the
question. There seems to be a
diversity Of opinion. Goblin was
supposed to be Dixon man pre-
vious to the election, but none Of
the Missourians hereabouts have
been showed as yet that he really
meant what he said. Billy says
that circumstances alter cases.
There is no doubt that Billy has
been altered since the convening
OF the legislature, but what the
circumstance was no one seems
TO know. But then, why should
any mans conscience be troubled
at the contumel,es OF those whose
Judgment deserves not to be
valued. That's what Billy wants
to know.

MASSACHUSETTS, BIG VOTE
The Republican Plurality Is $4,000
Socialist Vote Small


Boston, Nov. 4.-With the exception
Of the falling off In the socialist vote
the election in Massachusetts, yester-
day very nearly paralleled that Of last
year. Governor John Il. Bates was
reelected by the republicans by plu-
rality of 35,849 over Colonel William
"A. CASTOR, in a total vote only slightly
under that Of 1902 when Bates won
by 81, 30 plurality.
The vote for the leading candidates
yesterday was: Bates. 199.S93; CASTOR.
1864, both gaining about 8. 600 over
last year, but as the socialist vote
dropped from 33,629 to a little more
than $4,000, and that for the prolaibi-
tion and socialist labor cand1 dates re-
mained about the same, the tai vote!
for all candidates fell lust short of

GOOD OLD PENNsY
Keystone State Rolls Up 100000 Ma.
jOrity for Republican Ticket.

Philadelphia, Nov. 4.-Latest esti-
mates from the country districts indi-
cate that the republican state ticket
will have majorities ranging from
225, 600 to, 100000. William p. sny-
der for auditor general has run slight
sly behind William L. Mathews for
state treasurer, while Morrison and
Henderson, who were chosen superior
court judges, polled vote almost!
equal to that of Mathews.
In the counties where judges of the
common pleas court were chosen the
republican percentage of victories was
far greater than that Of the democrats.
The greatest surprise was in Lehigh
county, where Frank M. Trexler, re-
publican, defeated Edward Harvey,
democrat. This is the first time In
the history of the county that a re-
publican has been chosen as a Judge
Of the common pleas court. Haryey's
defeat was due mainly to disafection
in the democratic ranks. The defeat
of present Judge Hartman Yerkes,
II. Stout, republican, was another sur
prising victory.
The three-cornered judicial fight In
Dauphin county between Kunkel (re-
publican), Hahn (democrat), and
Jacobs (antimachine), was one of the.
most bitter ever Waged in the county
with Kunkel finally winning by a small
majority. Jacobs was appointed by
Governor Pennypacker as the success
sor to the late Judge Simonton, and
this fact led his friends to hope for
his election. In Clearffeld county.
Judge Cyrus Gordon (republican)
was defeated for reelection by Allison
O. Smith (democraD after a bitter
struggle.

CLARKE. EXPLAINS IT
Democratic Candidate Says 1.-THE Dutch
Have Captured Holland

Democratic Candidate Says "The Dutch
Have Captured Holland
Cleveland, Ohio, Nov 4.-John H.
Clarke, democratic candidate for
United States senator, to-day made
the following statement concerning
the result Of the election:
The result, to be sure, is surprising
only in the increase Of the republican
majority. The increased majority against
the democrats I attribute to the fact that
the aggressive campaign waged by Mr..
Johnson, with such aid as I could rem
der, resulted in creating an activity on
the part Of the republican organization
not equaled In recent years. This brought
out larger increased republican vote,
while the democratic vote was not COR
respondingly increased because Of factions
in southern and western Ohio, which were
organized and led by ambitious and
wealthy men within the party.
In Cuyahoga county all of the men dis
appointed because not given office united
with those who We're tried and found
wanting and dropped, and these, under
skilful leadership, I'M my Judgment ac-
complished the result in this county. To
these factors should be added the adroit
appeal of Senator Hanna to the cupidity
and fears Of the people which seems to
have prevailed. But, after all, the Dutch
have effectively captured Holland"
A Clean Sweep.
Complete returns from all the pre-
cincts in this, Cuyahoga, county, in
cluding the city of Cleveland, give
Herrick for governor 45,169; j Johnson,
36,649; Herrick's majority, $500. The
victory of the republicans in this city
and county is the most decisive and
sweeping record in many years, not
a single democrat being elected thru
out the entire ticket. The republicans
elect a solid delegation of four state
senators and ten representa- atives on the
legislative ticket by pluralities ram
ging from 1000 to 5000.

WANT RECOGNITION.
Revolntionists Would Like Support of
the United States.

washington, Nov. 4.-With the At
Ianta, Dixie and Nashville there will
be a naval force on the gulf side of
the isthmus sufficient to meet any
probable emergency. The presence Of
the 400 Colombian government troops
at Colon makes the situation there at
present more difficult than on the
Panama side. It is the opinion Of some
OF the officials here, however, that
these troops. having been deprived of
their general officers by capture will
surrender without bloodshed, and per-
haps join the revolution; but if the
government troops hold out and main
tain possession of Colon it will proba-
bly, oblige the United States to take
temporary possession of tn erailway
again, as traffic cannot be maintained
with one end Of the line in possession
OF the government forces and the 9TH
er In the hands of the reyolutionists.
The effect of such seizure of the
road would be to prevent the move
ment of anybody of troops CARRYING
arms from one side of the isthmus to
the other. 1t is fortunate for the
revolutionists that they were in prac-
tical possession of the isthmus when
the first Of the United States naval
forces arrived, for one of the standing
rules of the navy in such cases is to
maintain the statu quo.

GoRMAN TRIUMPHs
Maryland Elects a Democratic
Governor and legislature. :


Baltimore. Md. Nov s.. Returns
from 254 precincts of the 3D8 in
Baltimore city show a majority of
|4,842 for Edwin Warfie1d, democratic
for governor. It is quite
certain that the returns from the re-
manning precincts will increase this
lead. Complete returns have not been
received from any Of the twen ty- three
Maryland counties, but the returns re-
ceived indicate that there will be a.
democratic majority Of 1000 in the
counties. and that Warfield's plu-
rality in the city and county
will probably reach 1000.
The democrats in Baltimore city
elect their entire local ticket, including
three supreme judges, three orphans,
court judges, court clerks and sheriff.
Chief Judge McHenry Of the court Of
appeals is reelected.
The dem mocrats have elected a sub
stanttal majority of the legislature,
thus insuring a democratic successor
to United States Senator McComas
The unprecedented delay in count
ing the returns is due to the extraor-
binary large size Of the ticket and to
the election law which requires voters
to mark q cross opposite each name
voted for.

Cincinnati, Nov. 4.-From official
and unofficial returns received here
to-day from all the counties in Ohio,
the plurality of Herrick for governor
over Johnson is placed at 112,089.
Columbus Ohio, Nov 4.-More
complete returns to-day indicate that
the plurality Of Herrick, the republi-
can gubernatorial, candidate, over
Johnson will exceed 125, 900, but that
the rest%of the republican state ticket
will not have SO large a plurality. AS
the republicans not only carried the
doubtful counties and districts but
also some that were conceded to the
democrats, the majority on joint ball
lot in the legislature for the re-elec-
ton of Senator Hanna is now placed
at 80 out of a total membership In
both branches of 143, almost three
times as many as two years ago, when
the republicans had what was con-
sidered an unprecedent majority of
IS on joint ballot for the reelection
of Senator Foraker.
AS Senator Hanna had only one ma
jority on joint ballot six years ago,
and as he was the issue In, this cam
paign, the result is generally com
mented on more as a, Hanna victory
than anything else.
Chairman Dick says: Hanna's per-

MURDERER OF MILLER
Eagle Feather Said to Have Fired the
Fatal Shot.

Fatal Shot.
Special to The Journal.
Cheyenne, Wyo., Nov. A mes
sage from New Castle late last night
states that the posse reached Edge
mont, S. D., last evening with nine
that killed Sheriff Miller on lightning
creek. They were caught on Cheyenne
river. Members Of the posse in pur-.
suit of the Sioux who fought the bat
tie with Sheriff Miller and hits posse
on Lightning creek Saturday evening,
are returning. They report that, so far
as they know, there is no truth in
the story of a second battle, which
was supposed to have, been fought on
the Horseshoe Monday morning be-
tween Sheriff McDermott's posse and
large party Of Sioux who had Joined
forces with the remnants of the band
that fought Sheriff Miller on Satur-
day.
The best information obtainable is
to the effect that after the battle with
Sheriff Miller Saturday evening, the
Indians Immediately broke camp and
set out as rapidly as possible in the di-
rection of the Rosebud agency of the
Pine Ridge reservation in South Da-
kota.
The last heard of them they were
near the South Dakota line and had
not camped anywhere on their way.
1t appeared to be the desire of the
Indians to get out of the state as
quickly as possible.
Eagle Feather Is the murderer of
Sheriff Miller, according to the story
of one Of the possemen. He said:
After the Indians had dehed us, we
retreated and gathered up seven
ranchers. About half Of the bucks
came riding in our direction and we
saw that we would be discovered, so
Sheriff Miller rose up and demanded
the surrender of Eagle Feather and
his men. Eagle Feather uttered an
oath. raised his rifle to his shoulder
and fired. Sheriff Miller fell nortally
wounded and we began firing. Eagle
Feather fell at the first fire and ex-
pired in q few minutes. Deputy Louis
Falkenberg bit the dust soon after
Sheriff Miller was shot. =

ST. LOUIS SHAKEN
Earthquake Shakes Up the Missouri
Metropolis Big Buildings
Rocked on Foundations.

st. Louis, Nov. 4.-This city and
vicinity experienced a decided earth
quake shock or series of shocks at
1918 o'clock this afternoon. There is
difference Of opinion as to how
many. The earthquake was percepti-
BILE all over the city and was mostly
felt in the high business blocks in the
down town section of the city. One
occupant of a high building said his
chandelier swung three inches. The
movement was from east to west.
A long distance telephone message
from Louisiana, Mo-, says a percepti-
BILE shock was felt there about the
same time.
