carry the county by fully 1000 majority.
and Turner and Judson will probably
exceed that.
Il never expected a few years ago
to see the time in Tacoma when the
business interests there would favor a
railroad commission said Mayor
Wright. but there is no doubt
now that a feeling exists among the
lumbermen. the grain men and the
Wholesale men. that a commission with
adequate powers is the only real and
permanent solution to the railroad
question in this state. That feeling
moreover, is increasing daily.
There is also a feeling that Judge
Turner. if chosen governor. could be
absolutely depended upon to appoint a
fair and honest commission, one that
would deal equitably and justly WITH
all interests and all sections of the
state

ROOSEVELT 10000
Kansas Elects all Consressnen. and all
State Officers

Topeka, Nov. 9.-When the count
ing of the scratched ballots is ended
it is believed that President Roosevelt
will loom up with ninety thousand
plurality in Kansas against McKin-
ley's twenty-three thousand. State
Chairman Stubbs claims Hochs cleo
ton by forty thousand. Governor
Bailey had forty-two thousand
plurality two years ago. State
Treasurer Kelly's plurality will prob
ably be about twenty-five thousand
despite the bitter fight made on him.
All the congressman ran with the
ticket excepting Curtis whose estimat-
ed majority is seven thousand.
Curtis majority is below normal,
asis sBowersock's in the second dis
trict. Curtis lost Jackson, and prob
ably Nemaha and Atchison. Meagre
returns indicate that Bowersock did
better than expected. He probably
carried both Wyandotte and Miami
counties, in whichthe fight was bitter.
In Franklin county, where his friend
and enemy, Henry Allen held out,
he got fine majority. Kelly carried
Franklin by 800. Kelly probably
lost Shawnee. Campbell in the third
district vas reelected by ten thous-
and. In 1902 he got 1450o in Usage
county. Speaker Pringle is reelected.
The state printer amendment carried.
B. P. Waggener defeated ingalls, for
senator. The anh-machine faction
will control both the house and senate,
and all charges can be investigated.
w. r. Stubbs will probably be the
next Speaker.

The Denver &. Rio Grande and the

GUS branches penetrating the Rockies
have two distinct and separate lines
across the mountains. Tickets reading
via "The Scenic Line of the World"

between Denver and Salt Lake CITY

main line through Leadville Canon of
Grand River and Glenwood Springs
or via the line over Marshall Pass
and through the Black Canon of the
Gunnison. Tourists to and from
Salt Lake City, Ogden or. San
Francisco will find it to their adyant-
age to have their tickets read in both
directions via this route, thus being
able to use one of the. above lines

EVEN MISSOURI
Probabilities Are That She b Aka ia
Republican Column.

Kansas City, Nov. 9.-The incom-
plete unofficial returns from many
sections of Missouri at noon do not
diminish the strong probability that
President. Roosevelt has carried
Missouri. Folk, democrat, is elected
governor by at least twenty thousand.
At the state house in Jefferson City
it was stated that the complexion of
the next legislature is a matter of
grave concern to the democrats and
that Senator Cockerell's reelection
would depend upon the official re-
turns. It seems certain. that Con-
gresham Cowherd is defeated in this
district for. congress by Ellis, republi-
can, by twelve hundred majority.
Chicago, Nov. 9.-"The Missouri
republican national ticket is elected
by ten thousand majority" was the
contents of a message received by
Congressman Towny today from
Republican State Chairman Neidring-
haus.

ARMlSTICE ASKED.
Report Is in Toxic. but Lacks Con-
8. firmation.

Toxic, Nov. 10.-It is reported
that the Russians at Port Arthur have
asked for an armistice. It is impos-
sible to secure confirmation to the
story. 1t is known that the inhabit-
ants of the beleaguered fort are in
dire straights. Fear is expressed in
this city that massacre may follow
the. entrance Of the japanese army
owing to the high feeling aroused by
the Russians alleged killing, mistreat-
ing the Japanese wounded. A Japan
ese shell exploded in Russian mine
Sunday, killing and wounding six or
seven hundred Russian soldiers.

BARTON COUNTY
IS REPUBLICAN
Co. Clerk, Co. Attorney and Com
missioner End District Close
ALDRICH ALONE IS SAFE

Clarence AIdrich is the only brand
plucked from the burning The
Office of Superintendent will probably
be the only Democratic representative
in the court house of Barton County
for the next two years. J. w. Soder-
strom has been defeated for second
term by about 80 majority. The vote
on County attorney is especially close
Clarke having eleven majority with
South Bend township to hear from.
Younkin and Ashpole are even with
the latter township not yet given.
Winget and Williamsfor commissioner
in the second district are close. It
will take the official vote to decide
the result on the last three Offices.
Many votes have been invalidated.
The result in this county i. "a complete
surprise for both parties, the Demo
Gratis being confident until midnight
last night and the Republicans on
the anlszss seat. The only explanation
either parties can givefor the astonnd-
ing Republican gain IS the extreme
popularity of Theodore Roosevelt.

BIG FIRE IN NEW YORK
Tenement House Burns and Three
People Perish

New York, Nov. ia terrible
fire was started by fre-bugs- in an
east Ninety-seventh street tenement
occupied by ten families, caused three
people to perish early today.
The dead are Frederick Weber,
Blanche Euhlen and Lillian Euhlen.
A number of daring rescues were
effected by scaling ladders and FIRE
nets. The three victims were found
near the head of the stairs. Weber
was partially paralyzed but had tried
to crawl out. Shavings and coal oil
were scattered through the hall and
stairway. The loss is estimated at
five thousand dollars.
