Ellis county, Kansas, was the only
county in that state that gave ma

with Russians and every Russian voted
for Parker. When they found out that
they had carried the county, they tele-
graphed to Judge Parker asking him
to send them a cask of whisky to help
celebrate the event. calling attention
to the fact that when Dudley town
ship, Haskell county, was found to be
the only township in the United States
carried by Palmer and Buckner. that

MODERN WEAPONS az FEW
Long-Range Shooting of the Present
Less Deadly Than with Old
Fashioned Arms

In spite Of the great improve.
ments in weapons Of late years
leither the Russian nor japanese
forces will need TO be particularly
fearful as to the results which
may accrue in engagements, even
when the bullets are as thick as
Ifaindrops, for it has been calcu
ated on the figures which have
been adduced from past wars that,
on an average, only one bullet in
about 500 kills its man.
In this respect, says Stray Sto
cies, modern long.range shooting
is against increased mortality. In
the Franco-German war it was
found that one bullet in every 400
killed. in the Crimean war it was
one in 740, and the figures were
about the same in the recent Boer
war,
But there are many millions of
bullets in a big war. Yet HUMANE
tarians may derive encouragement
from an examination of the sol
oilers varying chances of going

In the Franco-German war 20
lper cent. of the French succumbed,
and in the civil war in America
Il25 per cent. of the northern troops
persisted; but in the FrancO-Ital-
ian war the percentage came down
to as low as six.
In the late South African war
England had 44S,435 troops en-
gagged, and of these 22,047 per
shed, which gives the record low
average of just about five pei
sent; while on the BOer side only
4,400 of $4,000 died, making an
average of about 61 per cent. OF
course, in these figures of mortal
lily no account is taken of prison
ers, or invalids who recovered.

 unreliable; he is running for q
 third term, which is violative of the principles of Democracy he has been constantly a dis isturbin9
 factor against the peace of the people, by arraying one class against another; he is pandering to the criminal and vicious ele. ments of society, by granting pardons to the violators of the law; he IS a blatant demagogue, with no care or thought for the welfare of the State, but Is actu- ated solely by his own selish
