AN OLD CITIZEN DEAD.

DR.. Owen T. Watkins died at
his home near Lacrosse on
Thursday Of last week, after {n
illness-o of only a few days. y

ty. The deceased was the father
of James A. and Frederick D.
Watkins, well-known citizens of

moned to DR.. Watkins bedside
several days ago.
CDR. Watkins was among the
most prominent and widely
known citizens in north Arkan-
sas, having resided in lizard
county fully half century. He
was more than eighty years old.
During the years OF his activity
as a physician he practiced in
lizard and several adjoining
counties, and his services were
much in demand on account Of
his skill as a practitioner. Of
late years DR.. Watkins had been
enjoying a respite from the ex-
acting duties to which he gave
the greater portion O, his life,
and retired to the comforts Of his
splendid home and farm at La
Crosse. His name is house,
hold word in lizard and surround
ing counties. DR.. Watkins was
a man Of fine attainments and
was held in high esteem, He
was never a politician in the
sense of being an officeseeker,
though he never failed to take a
deep interest in public affairs as
a citizen.
CDR. Watkins is survived by
his wife, four daug hters and five
sons. One Of his sons is DR..

Republican Gains In Ohio.

Columbus. o., Nov 10. - Almost
complete unofficial returns indicate
that the Republican plurality in Ohio
is between 100000 and 215,OOO, or over
three times the plurality this state
ever gave any national ticket. About
a dozen counties have been carried by
the Republicans for the first time,
which means radical changes in county
and other local Offices. The Republi-
cans gained three congressman by car.
rying all of the congressional dis
tricts except the fourth, in which Har-
vey c. CARRIER was reelected by 1900,
or less than one-third the usual Demo
cratic plurality in that district.

Connecticut Republican.

New Haven, Conn, Nov. 9.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt and the entire Repub-
lican ticket carried the state by an
overwhelming plurality, which was
even larger than the most sanguine OF
the party predicted. President Roose-
velt's plurality is $4,000, which is sew
eral thousand ahead of McKinley's fig
ures in 1900.
The state ticket was not far behind,
and from Henry Roberts, the candidate
for governor, down, there was a clean
sweep. Congressman in each of the
four districts and the congressman-at-
large were all reelected, and the leg
islature will remain Republican by a
ratio estimated at about 21a to l, which
is slight gain over the ratio of two
years ago.

though it was practically conceded
that Missouri had succumbed to the

Democrat remained standing, he being

that Cyrus P. Walbridge for governor
had not been defeated, but would
finally be found to have won by

BIG REPUBLICAN
GAINS IN CONGRESS
Have Elected 247 Representatives
and the Democrats I36.
HAVE A MAJORITY OF III

Chicago, Nov. 10.-Dispatches from
all over the country indicate that the
Republicans will have a majority OF
Ill in the next national house of rep
resentatives, instead of SO, the present
majority.
The Republicans throughout the
country have elected 247 congressman
and the Democrats 1876.
In all districts the Republicans
have held their own, while in
many instances the Democrats have
lost. Probably the most marked of
these cases are the fourth and fifth
districts of California (San Francisco),
now represented by Representatives
Livernash and Vim, Democrats,
which reports indicate have been
gained by the Republicans. In the 18th
Ohio district, Taylor, Rep, defeated
Badger, Democratic member, candi-
date for reelection. The most surpris-
ing of all the representatives, how
ever, comes from the fifth and 18th
Missouri districts, with strongly
Democratic, and the former represent
ed by Mr. Cowherd, chairman of the I
Democratic congressional campaign
committee. The Republicans car
ried both districts The states of
Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia,
Mississippi, North Carolina, South
Carolina and Texas, all send solid
Democratic delegations, while those
from Kentucky and Virginia probably
each will send only one Republican
representative, making no change from
the present complexion. Tennessee will
continue to send two Republican con-
gressmen. There are several solid Re
publican delegations already reported
from northern states, including Iowa,
Kansas Minnesota, New Hampshire
and North Dakota To these must be
added the delegations from Maine,
Oregon and Vermont, in which states
elections were held prior to today.
Other states, such as Michigan, Illi- ]
nois, Ohio. Pennsylvania, and even
Indiana and New Jersey, from which
the Democrats hoped for much in the
way of gains, again send to congress
delegations which are preponderat-
ingly Republican. In New York the '
Republicans gain several congress-
men, and make a gain of two in New
Jersey and Pennsylvania, and other
gains are reported from Maryland and
West Virginia.
The congressman elected in the diff !
ferent states are as follows:
Milford chronicle., 1904-11-11

Ohio gave Roosevelt 100000 and
New York 174,0OO The New York
city returns are still incomplete, but
/ the amazement over the result has
not subsided. Judge Parker carried
Greater New York by only 41,OOO.
In general, the situation is chiefly
interesting because of the fact that the
tickets in many of the states were cut,
President Roosevelt ran ahead of his
ticket in many localities, notably in
Massachusetts, where he secured a
plurality of $4,000, while the Republi-
can candidate for governor was de-
feated by $4,000. In Missouri circum-
stances are similar
In Nebraska the definite announce
ment that the legislature is Republi-
can disposes of the statement that
William J. Bryan had aspirations for
United States senatorship. In that
state, too, the governorship is in
doubt, and it will require official re-
turns to determine who is elected.
Both sides claim a victory.
There is a curious situation on in
Minnesota. where Roosevelt secured
125,0OO plurality, but where a Demo-
cratic governor and Republican lieu
tenant governor were elected. The
election of a Democratic governor is
the second in the history of the state.
Chairman Babcock, of the Republi-
can congressional committee. has
been returned to congress from Wis
consin. but Chairman Cowherd, of the
Democratic congressional committee,
was defeated in Missouri.
The situation in Colorado presented |
an interesting phase. Roosevelt has |
carried the state by probably $4,000, |
but the governorship is still in doubt, |
both sides claiming a victory.
As interesting to the voter as any
hing else were the statements issued
ly Judge Parker and William ]. Bryan.
IN his statement Mr.. Bryan said, re-
erring to Judge Parker:
"He did as we'll as he could under
he circumstances; he was the victim
# unfavorable conditions and of a
party policy. The result was
ue to the fact that the Democratic
arty attempted to be conservative in
