ality of the Act.
Washington, June 1.-The supreme
court of the United States, in an opin-
stitutionality OF the oleomargarine
law. Leo w. Moray sued the United
States in the Southern district of Ohio
to recover $50 paid by him as a pen
atty for the sale of fifty-pound pack
age of colored oleomargarine contain
ing stamp tax of three-quarters of
a cent pound instead OF 10 cents a
pound. McRay's counsel argued first,
that although the oleo was colored to
look like butter, the color was OBJ
tanned by the use of butter, which was
itself. artiticially colored, but it's use
as an ingredient of the cleo was au-
thorized by law, and second, that the
tax of 10 cents a pound was prohibit
tive and confiscatory and an attempt
ed federal usurpation of the police
powers of the states. The court said
that the tax contemplated the finished
product and not the details of manu-
facture. If the oleo was colored it

colored the lower tax, regardless CT
how obtained. AS to the amount of
the tax the court said it was settled
that the court could not consider the
amount of any tax fixed by congress,
this being purely political function.
The court, therefore, affirmed the
judgment of the lower court, uphold
ing the validity of the law and the

Des Moines, June 1.-Governor
Cummins at last gave up in the mat
ter Of the settlement of the criminal
charges against John ]. Donahue of
Sioux City, who is held in Jail in Kill
larney, Ireland, for embezzlement.
He had been asked to issue the pa
pers asking for the requisition from
the king of Great Britain and had for
warded the papers to Washington,
having had the assurance that the
prosecution of Donahue for embez-
zling $4,000 from Farrelley & Co. was
in good faith. Then Donahue's father,
a resident of Sioux City, effected a
settlement and notified the county at
torney. There was nothing left but
for the governor to notify Secretary
Hay and have the papers held up. 1t
is supposed Donahue will return, and
as the embezzlement will have been
settled the firm will not appear
against him.

ROSS

Market up to Monday: Corn 40;
wheat GA; oats 81; hogs 4.10.
!. A. Cozine has sold good lot of
old corn and had Miller & Bates she'll
ing for him the first of the week.
A. F. Wilson sold his old corn last
week and had the shelter at his place
this week getting it in good shape for
hauling.
John Pingrey has the carpenters
busy on the place erecting quite sub
stantial residence for the convenience
of his renter.
Fred Horning had thousand BUSH
els of corn shelled out the first of the
week that he put on the market
at a good price.
A girl was born to Mr.. and Mrs.
John Wagner last Wednesday and
their friends rejoice with them in
their new visitor.
Last Monday the town seemed de-
serted as most all the Inhabitants
went away some place to attend
memorial services.
w. w. Williams had the shelter at
his place this week as did VIM. Diest
and f. L. Taylor as they had all sold
their corn at a big price.
Fred Ruhs and Lou Shingledecker
are becoming Gray in the services of
their admiration. Only last Sunday
they turned that way but went on up
to Manning after their stop there.
The prospect for a corn crop is
splendid. There are some who have
had to replant on account of poor seed
but the acreage is larger than usual
and every one hopes for good crop.
The dance last Friday night was
one of the most pleasant social events
of the year. The audience was just
large enough to have good time as
every young person proceeded to have.
Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas Ochletree are
the proud parents of girl that came
to their home Monday to cheer them
by its presence and to make them feel
their more responsible position in
life's duties.
Items from this vicinity are scarce
any more. We cannot as yet find out
the reason. Have the people ceased
to be sociable or is it that those in
town do not recognize the fact that to
keep up good breezy department for
them means an interest IN Ross and q
consequent brisk trade? We have
stood by Ross for years and hope to
for many more but must have the CO.
operation of all to do so.

Collision, but No One Hurt.

Atlantic, Ia, May 3O-A head-end
collision occurred near Marine, six
miles west of this city, on the Rock
Island. The westbound flyer met a
freight just on the outskirts of Marine,
the two trains coming together with
such force as to badly injure both en-

almost sixty miles an hour, while the
freight was probably making less

crews of both trains saved them
selves by jumping and no one was

ESOPUS, N. Y, Nov. 9.-Judge Par ker conceded the election of President Roosevelt at s:3o p. m., when he re- ceived a bulletin that the Democratic national headquarters had already ad- mitted that every doubtful state had been carried by the Republican nation al ticket. He appeared to be not at all downcast by the result, although it is known that he greatly depIored his overwhelming defeat in his own state. He received the discouraging news in his study, where he sat smoking with two of his neighbors. Tn the village of Esopus there was genuine grief mani tested by Democrats, who gathered in the two inns and the railway station, at the discouragins character of the re- turns, but many had foreseen the re- suit as based upsn the returns for the village, which Judge Parker had fail ed to carry by fourteen votes. A bon fire prepared for the occasion was not lighted.

 Will Not be a Candidate Again. WASHINGTON Nov. 9.--President Roosevelt, after the election returns clearly indicated the result, issued the following statement:
 T am deeply sensible of the honor done me by the American people in thus expressing their confidence in what have done and have tried to do. I appreciate to the full the solemn re- sponsibility this confidence imposes upon me, and shall do all that in my power lies not to forfeit it.
 OnAlthe 4th of March 1shaH have served u see and one-half years, and this three and one-half years ccnsti- tutes my first term. The wise custom which limits the president to two terms regards the substance and not the form. Under no circumstances will be candidate for or accept another nomination.

by about the same number. He sweeps Connecticut by nearly 10000, New ter sey by more than 5O,OOO and Indiana by plurality that promises to be four or five times greater than McKinley's in that state.
 The result in New York state sur passes the expectations of the most sanguine of the Republican managers. Although Higgins runs nearly 100000 behind Roosevelt nevertheless, swept on by the avalanche of Republican votes, he wins by about 100000 plural ity.
 Returns at hand indicate that the electoral vote stands as follows:
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1904-11-09

In Fairfield and Litchfeld counties Roosevelt and Roberts swept all be- fore them, taking Congressman Lilley and Congressman Hill victory ward, only the long time democratic town of Newtown going against the republi- can ticket in the two counties. Here it was that Mir Hill made his remarka- ble showing with plurality of 11,343 as compared with 4,445 two years ago. Looking over the vote for president and governor it does not appear that there was much scratching, for the vote is consistent all through, except in the case of Roberts in Hartford county. The republicans apparently turned out every man and boiled a strength which was phenomenal.
 The populist, prohibition and social ist vote, as in previous years, was not noticeable ill the general result, and even after the vigorous campaigns ot these parties none of them did more than hold it's own. There was no pop ulist vote four years ago for president, and the total vote of that party yes terday for Watson was 433 in the en- tire state. The prohibitionists cast 1,075 votes against 1,617 four years ago, and the two brancnes of the so> clalists together threw 1857 ballots into the box. The vote of these par, ties by counties follows:
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1904-11-09

about 32,OO0. This would make Roose syelt's plurality in the state 222,00o.
 Republicans are claiming a majcri- ty or thirty or more in the house of representatives
 One remarkable feature of the cleo, tion was the large number of straight tickets voted. While great scratching was anticipated, the very threat of it seems to have reacted and to have drawn party lines tighter.
 Tn this city especially the straight ticket vote was heavy in both parties.
 The first presidential returns receiv- ed were from one of the small towns in Massachusetts, which gave Roose- welt 59, Parker 2, The same town in 1900 gave Mckinley 56, Bryan 3.
 The first three towns in Massachu- setts to report gave Roosevelt 55S, gave Mckinley 593, Bryan 49o. This was net Democratic gain of 2 votes.
 Contrary to general expectations, the state of New York has elected Frank W. Higgins governor, with the rest of the Republican ticket.
 Linn Bruce of New York was elected lieutenant governor of New York state.
 The following governors of states were elected: Colorado, James Fl. Pea body (Rcp); Connecticut, Henry Rob erts Rep.); Delaware. Preston Lea (Rep.); Florida, Napoleon B. Broward (DemD; Idaho, Frank R. Gooding (Rep.): Illinois, Charles $. Deneen Rep.); Indiana, J. Frank Hanly Rep); Kansas, Edward W. Hoch Rep.); Massachusetts, William L.

W. T. Lanahan (Den); Washington, Albert F. Mead (Rep); West Virginia, John J. Cornwell Dem.); Wisconsin, Robert M. La Fol iette Rep.); Wyoming, Bryant B. Brooks Rep.).
 The complete count of the city of Buffalo shows that Roosevelt has car ried it by 9,572 and Higgins by 2,565. The city went 5000 for Mckinley in 1900.
 Notwithstanding threats of arrests and expectation of trouble, the day passed with reasonable quiet.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Nov. 9.-Con. necticut will give to President Roose- welt majority over Judge Parker of 25,O00, estimated by the Republican state central committee and support ed by returns. It is known that New Haven, Bridgeport, Hartford, Water. bury. Meriden and Derby have given Republican majorities, that of New Haven being estimated conservativeiy at 1000. Tn 1900 Bryan carried this city by 835. Henry Roberts Rep9 of Hartford is elected governor over A. Heaton Robertson Dem.) of New Ha. ven by majority somewhat less than President Roosevelt's lead.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1904-11-09

The general result was known with in an hour and a half after the polls closed. At ' o'clock last night Demo cratic leaders conceded that Roosevelt had been elected by an overwhelming majority, and before s o'clock the Par ker managers at Democratic national headquarters in New York conceded that Roosevelt had carried every doubt full state in the country. At all the Democratic headquarters the Demo crats seemed to be stunned by the re- suit. At Tammany hall Charles F. Murphy early in the evening conceded that Roosevelt had carried the state, but clung to the hope. that Herrick might pull through. The returns, indi- eating enormous pluralities, soon dissi- pated that faint expectation, and the Tammany leader admitted that the Democrats had met overwhelming de- feat for both their national and state tickets
 At Republican national and state headquarters every one was jubilant. At 8 o'clock last night William Barnes, Jr., who was in charge at state head quarters. telegraphed President Roose- welt as follows:
 ''Your plurality in New York state will exceed 100000. Higgins elected governor by over LOG, ,0OO."
 At g p. m. Chairman Cortslyou of the Republican national committee said:
 'At this hour the indications are that the country has given an overwhelm- ing vote of confidence in the president and his administration"
 Judge Parker was defeated in his own town of Esopus by 80 votes.
 Roosevelt's plurality in Ohio breaks all records for that state.
 The latest indications are that Roose- velt's plurality outside of New York city will be 4.00O and that Parker's nluralitv in Greater New York will hs
