To Thread a Hair Through a Walnut.
To pass hair through walnut
without boring hole seems an impos-
sibility, but the feat has often been
done. The hull Of the walnut when
examined with a strong glass is,seen
to have innumerable small openings,
some Of which lead entirely through
the nut. The trick consists in using a
very fine hair and an infinite amount
Of patience. Pass the hair into one Of
these minute crevices and urge 1t gen.

THE ELECTION RESULTS.

The election results. with the eX
ception of a few instances. are not
unusually significant. The result in
New York City was a surprise. but
to the observers of reform movements
was not altogether unexpected. Re-
form Is sometimes not difficult to es-
tablish, but difficult to maintain. A
large number of voters take notice of
the little things that affect them in
dividually. paying little heed to the
greater things that effect the whole
civic body. This seems to have been
the case in New York. Two years
ago, reused by revelations of the en-
ormity of graft, the corruption of the
police department, the maintenance of
ne Infamous cadet" system. and the
general decentralization of civic de
cency. the Tammany candidate was
defeated and reform inaugurated. No
one denies that reform has worked
much for the general public in New
York. Streets are cleaner. morals are
cleaner, graft has been weeded out
wherever possible, and a business ad-
ministration has given the city the
advantage of its untiring labor. In the
face of this the city has slumped back
to Tammany. What is the signifi-
of this result? Not that reform
is a failure, but that the greed of
large interests, the d~isaffectiOn of the
classes and the hunger of aspirants
for loot has proven s%ubversive of the
best civic interests. Reform has a les
son to learn also, and that is that the
voice of the people for cleanliness
and decency must not be mistaken to
be a cry for stiff necked rigidity and
illiberality. New York is a cosmo-
politan city,. Conditions and people
must be dealt with as they exist and
as they are. Reform must be prac-
teal, as practical politicians are prac-
teal. They must give a little, in or
der to maintain themselves.
In Ohio, Iowa, Pennsylvania and
Massachusetts, the results are as ex-
pected. Maryland seems to have ell
ected the democratic ticket, after a
bitter local fight, in which local more
than national issues affected the re-
suit.
The election of the Tammany ticket
will have a direct bearing on the pre-
sidential campaign another year. The
democracy will have an advantage in
the possession of the machinery OF
local government.

DESTINATION KEPT SECRET.
Nashville Ordered to Colon More Than
Week Ago.

Washington, Nov. 4.-The navy de-
partment has received word of the ar.
rival of the Nashville at Colon through
q cablegram from her captain, Com
mander Hubbard. The department
found 1t necessary to conceal its pur-
pose in dispatching the Nashville from
Kingston to the isthmus and it was
supposed that she was prevented
from going TO San Domingo because
some of her machinery was out of or
der. AS a matter of fact the advices
received from the United States vice
consul at Panama than q week
ago determined the state department
to have some representative of the
United States navy in isthmian waters.
Indeed, it is probable that beginning
with the termination of the cere-
monies at Guantanamo connected
with the turning over of the new coal.
ing station Admiral Coghlan will be
required steadily to maintain q naval
force on the Atlantic side of the 18TH
mus. There are other reasons than
the Panama situation for this, as the
reports coming to the state depart
ment from the Central American coun-
tries north of Colombia reveal the ex-
istence of turbulent and dangerous
conditions. During the morning a
cablegram came from one Of the Unit.
ed States consuls in Honduras stat
ing that the people there were in a
state of excitement over the reported
intention of Nicaragua to attack Hon.
duras. The Guatemalans also are in q
state of unrest, which is reflected in
usually peaceful Costa RIGA, and the
officials here would not be surprised
to see something like a general Cen.
trail American wal result from the
present conditions. 1t Is positively
stated that these movements on the
part of our navy are in no way con.
nected with a canal project.

T OF THE COUNTRY.

Baldwin. n. D.. Oct. 30.-As though
to make up for early neglect, i'll
treatment, during the fore part of the
fall the weather is now doing its
best. being ideal. The farmers through
the country are improving every
moment and all are now about pre-
pared for any kind of a winter.
Hoag's New Home.
Fred Hoag is feeling good ove
having completed a fine new house
on his place north of Arnold, and in
deed he has every reason to feel
proud, for he is now in possession Of
as fine a home as the best through
the surrounding country.
Mr.. Hoag says: Am doing fine,
same as usual. OF course some crops
were not so good as last year, but
never saw finer potatoes than | raised
this year, and they bring a good mar
ket price too. Next summer you will
see a good roomy barn here to match
the house, then l will feel as though
l was pretty well fixed.
Good Living on 80 Acres.
AS though to refute the assertion
so often heard regarding the inability
of one to MAKE a living on less than
a section of North Dakota land, We
find Joe Wrinkle, an Industrious Ger
man, farming his little so acre patch
which he says produces each year
enough to insure a good living. Win
kle is from the Red River county.
He says his chances for getting ahead
of the world are better here than
there. That this country was advanc-
ing was proved to Joe when he was
looking for a location in these parts.
lie first came up to look around three
years ago. and prices several quar-
ters near where he is now located.
finding the price to run about four
dollars an acre. He picked out one
160 acre place but did not secure it.
The price asked was $500. Return
ing home he settled his affairs and
moved out. but alas, when he began
negotiations for the place in mind, he
was astounded to find the price had
nearly trebled and would now cost
him 1900 instead of 5000. Joe's
means couldn't stand so great a pres
sure therefore found it necessary to
be content with 80 acres.
Mr.. Wrinkle says he is able to feed
and clothe his entire family from the
proceeds of the sale of eggs. butter
and chickens, thus leaving him mere
ly the expense of running the place
to be made from crops. This coun-
try beats the Red River district in
every way" says Wrinkle, soil, elm
ate and people, and l believe more
money can be made here counting
year for year.
