Republican Victory.

The election on Monday resulted in q
Republican victory of larger proportions
than was expected by even the most san
guine of the party. The estimate OF
plurality on the head of the ticket this
morning Is ~, 100.
The Senate will stand u Republicans,
Democrats. These Democratic sena-
tors elected are E. l.. Philson, Auburn,
for Androscoggin county; Oakly c.
Curtis, Portland, for Cumberland coun-
ty; L. NJ. Staples, Washington, for
Knox county; Cyrus Topper, Boothbay'
for Lincoln county. The latter formerly
resided in Starks, In Somerset county,
and will be remembered by many Skow-
hogan people as law student In the
office of Walton & Walton In the late
eighties,
The Kennebec Journal gives the tabu-
lation Of 522 cities, towns and planta-
tions In the state this morning, resulting
as follows:
Cobb, Rep, 78,46O; Davis, DEM, 3D.
$50. The vote in 1900 was: Hill, Rep,
$40; Lord, Dem, 40,086.
Somerset county makes clean sweep
carrying the county by a plurality OF
1900 for Cobb eleeting senators and
county officers by about the same figures
excepting the candidate for sheriff which
appears to be reduced to not far from 30
plurality. Hon. Forrest Goodwin and
Vim. G. Bailey were elected senators,
and Messrs. Edward N. Merrill of Skow-
hogan. A. Ledyard Smith of Madison,
Harvey L. Sawyer Of Smithfield, Casslu'
C. Kinsmsn of Cornville, Allison P.
Howes of Palmyra, Edwin o. Vittum OF
Concord and Fred W. Bunker of Arson,
representatives..
The names of the county officers elect
ed appear In the tabulation of the vote
for Somerset printed elsewhere. This
tabulstion is not complete in every par
teular but we expect TO verify and per-
feet 1t for our next issue.
All four Republican congressman are
returned by pluralIties ranging from
5000 to 1000.
A recount of the votes in Knox county
shows that instead of Hon. VIM. T.
Cobbs ticket suffering defeat In THU
county he leads by four votes.
Most of the Democratic gains were In
the four counties of Androscoggln,
Cumberland, Knox and Lincoln.

King JOIlity.

Last evening witnessed the first per
Torrance of King Jolhty in Cobnrn Hall
before large audience who are enthusi-
astlc in their praises OF this beautiful
production. There Is a plot to the play
but it Is Just sufficiently In evidence
to provide purpose for the different
seems. The loss of the Jollity stone,
which is supposed to be Of untold value
to the people of Pleasure Island, and its
recovery by King Jollities councillors
from the neighboring island of King
Bobotus, Is the hazy theme which gives
an opportunity for the presentation of
some of the catchlest music, beautiful
marches, graceful dancing and speetacu-
lar scenes that have been witnessed In
skowhegan for many day.
1t may be said that there are no lead
ing roles and any attempt to do justice
by description of the manner in which
each individual sustained the part as
signed to them, is obviously impossible
They were one and all superb. Promi-
nent in the songs and choruses were
! Skowhegan's best musical talent, cast
for parts that gave them opportunity to
use their ability to the best advantage,
and our best young amateures gave
marches and graceful dances that would
be the envy of professionals. In the
"Baby's Frolic" dozen or more little
girls robed ready for their cradles, each
with her favorite doll, gave scene of
marching, song and pantomime in which
the art of their instructor and their
childlike natures blended in way that
took the audience by storm. These
little Ones all less than ak years of age,
may be said to have divided the honors
of the evening with the "Dandy Cops
troop of little boys, who dressed In the
regulation uniform and armed with
pollcemen'a clubs, carried through a
march and song which portrayed the
"dgnity" of the average city officer in
the drollest manner imaginable.
The orchestra did its part toward the
success of the evening under the direo-
ton of j. Abbott Kendall.
The comedy was written by 81. c..
Wales and Geo. Lowell Tracey of Bos-
ton and is given under the business and
stage management of professor Wales,
who has been thirty years in this line Of
work, the last four with this same play,
during which he has produced it in most
of the towns and cities of New England.
The past two weeks have been busy
with rehearsals and the benefit which
those who take part receive from such
careful training is of considerable i'm
portance to them. The piece is given
here under the local management of the
Univsrsalist society and Is repeated,
with some change of program, this and
tomorrow evening.

Letter to Il. l.. Walker.
SkoWhegan. Me.

Dear Sir: Let's have a little private
talk by ourselves on business; nobody
else, please, read.
You want to know how to do a CHEAP
job of painting, and have it look good.
Here it is; the cheapest thing there is in
the way of a good-loos ing job-say
nothing about its being goods Devoe
the regular thing is Devoe.
The reason is: Devoe goes further
than anything else. Lead -and-oil ia
good-looking; don't 60 SO far and costs
more. The other paints are more OF
less short in one way or another; don't
go so far and costs more than Devoe.
Devoe costs least of all; you don't
mind it's lasting longer, do your We
can't help it; a paint that goes further
lasts longer; we can't help it.
Yours truly

The terrible reality OF the losses Of
5000 by the Russian and Japanese
armies in the Lao Yang campaign Ii
difficult to comprehend. 1t is a fearful
and horrible carnage. Allowing rs pei
cent of these losses to be fatalities gives
$500 human beings shot down to their
death on the field of battle, in woods,
SWamps, before intrenchments in by
ways and hedges In every conceivable
situation and attitude, bruised, broken
pierced bodies, headless, armless, leg
less, mangled and torn. Then the
wounded lying on the field whore they
ieI, suffering heat or cold, hunger, terri
BILE thirst and fever endure living death
repete with indescribable agonies.
Then those wounded, who we're forum
ate enough to be taken to tho hospital
ID held or in town, where amputation OF
limbs probing of wounds and some
rendered, suffer terribly. A little more
endnrab'e than this are the forced
marches, the terrible thirst and hunger,
The fatigue, sleeping in mud and water,
marching, marching, fighting, fighting,
agony upon agony. Oh the horrors of
war Happy the country that can keep
out OF it and the people who know 1t
not by experience. May this country
long get along without this experience.
We have had enough of it in the past.
May God grant US peace for many gen
erations.
