Nevada and Newlands.

Nevada is a democratic "rotten bor-
ough. It has only handful Of vot
ers, and one man with the wealth Of
Senator Newlands, who represents tho
state in the upper house, but who lives
the year around in Washington would
bess sufficient IN ordinary times to con-
troll 5it. Newlandss has every motive stos
bestn hims this year, for it is his.
desire to remain in the senate. The
state may as well be conceded to
Parker.
In Utah, as in Idaho, the local fight
is Mormon and anti Mormon, but with
the sides reversed. 1t is the republi-
cans and not the democrats who are
fighting the church. Senator Kearns,
a multimillionaire, anxious to succeed
himself in the senate, discovered that
the church was hostile, and that conse-
quently he could not hope to win, where
upon he took time by the forelock, hop
ing to save his face, and organized with
in the republican party an anti; NJ Mormon
movement. Re is opposed BY Senator
Roosevelt, and in a general way the
Utah situation resembles the situation
in Wisconsin,. Roosevelt will carry the
state.
President Roosevelt is rather unfor-
tunate this year, in the number of ugly
state fights which have developed in
side republican lines. In Colorado,
| New York., Delaware and West Virginia
these fights will cut into the electoral
| pect for republican, success is not as
good as it would be if there were party
harmony. In Idaho, Washington
Utah, Wisconsin and Minnesota, the To-
cal fights will not reach higher than the
state tickets.

MOUNT AIN ST ATES
FOR BOTH PARTIES.
Idaho and Utah Republican, Ne
vada and Colorado Demo ratic,
Montana Doubtful.
BY w. w. Jermane.

Washington, Oct. 10 - There is very lit
tie detailed knowledge at either republis
can or democratic headquarters regard
ing the. political situation in the inter
mountain states. So far as the republic
cans are concerned, they purpose leaving
tive, state central committees. The
number OF electoral votes at stake is not
large only seventeen, not counting Wy.
omlng, which is concededly republican
and the cost of carrying them all for
Roosevelt, directly under national COM
mlttee auspices, would increase the ex-
.pense Of the campaign out Of proportion
to the good that would result; for, if
Roosevelt is to be elected president, it
will be independent of anything which
may happen in the far west, and the re-
publican e, campaign treasury being rather
feel that his energies should be hus-
banded for the eastern states where, so
Tar as the republicans are concerned,
the presidential battle will be decided.
Different with Democrats.
With the democrats, however, the
case is different. They now are begin
New Jersey and Connecticut, which to-
gether have nineteen electoral votes,
and hence they are turning their gaze
toward the mountains, hoping that
something may be done there to offset
this prospective eastern loss, and thus
dull ~, the edge Of their impending defeat.
Idaho and Utah, with six electoral
votes. The best that, the democrats
seem likely to do in the mountain coun-
try is to. get Colorado, Nevada and Mon
tana, with eleven electoral votes, or
within one of as many as there are in
New Jersey. And they may not do that
well; for Montana is debatable ground
There would be no question about
Colorado from a republican point Il Of
view, if the local situation were better.
The popularity Of 4 President } Roose-
welt, which under normal conditions
would give him .the state by at least
10000 plurality, has to carry the heavy
tration. It is conceded that Roosevelt
will run perhaps $4,000 to 10000 votes
stronger than the Peabody ticket, but
even that may not save him. The out
look is. sufficiently uncertain to deter
me from claiming the state for Roose-
welt, and in order to be on the safe side,
I have tentatively conceded it to Par
ker. The lien of cleavage is clearly
drawn. The voters in the 4. mining
regions are fighting Peabody, while the
farmer vote is supporting him, assisted
! by the vote Of the business men and
other owners of property in the cities
and towns. The strength of the miners
slightly exceeds. shat Of the farmers.
| the latter is rapidly increasing. The
fight against Peabody has caused so
many undercurrents that the repub-
Leans hardly know what is / the real
situation. Nor are the democrats any
| better informed. - z - = =

Mormon Question Predominant.

: In Idaho the Mormon question is cut
ting a large figure. s Led by Senator
Dubois, the democrats are making
furious campaign against the church to
destroy, if possible, it's control Of state,
politics. This fight has thrown the
Mormon vote to the republicans, who
claim to have every assurance of sue
cess. The line. of cleavage is. as plain
ly drawn in. this state as. in Colorado.
It is Mormon and anti NJ ormon. What
bitterness there is does not extend in
any pronounced way to the presidential
ticket. - 49, 49,. -. ~.
The Idaho GENTLE women are said to
be, almost without exception, support
ing the democratic state ticket.
Montana is uncertain, and perhaps a
little more likely to go republican thar
democratic. This is a conservative
statement, because at the republican ma
tional headquarters everybody is pre-
pared to claim the state for Roosevelt,
almost hands down. Former Senator
Thomas II. Carter informs the national
committee that Roosevelt will surely
carry the state, and he is not rainbow
chaser. He will return to the senate if,
should be republican. Montana has par
ticipated in three presidential elections,
this being it's fourth. The first time it
went republican. but the next two, on
account Of the silver issue, it went dem
ocratic. In 1902 it returned to the re-
publican fold, electing not only the re-
publican candidate for congress but a
Republican legislature. Conditions in
the state have not changed since 1902.

Amusing Trick With an Egg.

Here is a trick which will sur
prise the whole family.
The next time you eat boil
ed egg moisten the rim-not
merely the edge, but all the
raised part-of your plate and
place the empty shell on the wet
surface.
The shell should be broken off
evenly all around, so as to form
little cup.
Now, if you hold the plate up
and tip it slightly the egg will
not merely slide, but spin, along
the rim, and by continuously. al
tering the inclination angle of
the plate you can make the shell
spin all the way around it. | do
not mean that it will spin rapid
ly, like top, but that as it goes
around the plate it also revolves,
slowly, about it's own axis in the
same direction.
Now, this, you know, is just
what the earth does in travelling
around the sun, so here you have
an easy and pretty lesson in as
tronomy at the breakfast table.

writer as follows: ''In the
spring of 1871, at the annual
election in Rhode Island, there
was town precinct closely con-
tested by the federal and the
republican 1.-THE peace and war;
parties. A federal farmer, hur-
rying down to vote just before
closing time, was stopped on the
way by finding one of his, valu-
able pigs fast between the planks
of a fence. He tried to pull the
pig out and failed. Then with
some difficulty he pried away
one of the planks, released the
pig, and started on run for the
voting place. Just as he got
within a hundred feet of it the
town clock struck six. The
polls closed without his vote.
The result was the war repre-
sentative from that town was
elected by one vote. When the
general assembly met a few
weeks afterward a war senator
was chosen by one majority on
