WARNING AGAINST SMALLPOX.
Office Of the State Board Of Health

Bowling Green, KY, Nov. 20, '04
To the Health Officers, Physi-
clans and People of Kentucky:
Since January, 1898, smallpox
has prevailed, more or less extern
sively, in every county in Ken
lucky. with a total of over %, 600
cases and 300 deaths, and costing
in cash more than one half mil
lion dollars, besides an estimated
loss from interference with bust
ness and travel of. something over
one and one-half million dollars.
Properly expended, this sum
would have been more than enough
to havel guarded the health inte-
rests ofgour:people for a genera
ton, besides keeping every resi-
dent of the State vaccinated so
that the existence of anything
but an imported case of smallpox
would have been impossible.
With the advent of cold wealth
er, cases of the disease are being
reported in. widely separated Sec
tions in many counties, and we
feel that it is again our duty to
warn our officials and people os
the necessity of prompt action to
prevent serious and expensive To-
cal outbreaks. Fortunately, the
prevention of this disease is as
certainIand safe as it is cheap and
easy, andsalthough it is unlawful
to remain unvaccinated at any
time, in the face of existing con-
ditions intelligent people should
not wait for the law to force them
to evident duty. Vaccination and

Coal that is kept In a dry and
airy place will burn much longer
than that which is kept in a close
cellar with no ventilation. When
coal is stored in an airless place,
it gets rid of its gas, and the alb
sence of this renders it less pow
erful and more wasteful wher
burned.

KENTUCKY.
Parker's Majority viii pc Between
$1,000 and 1900.

Louisville, Nov. 8.--With one-third
Of Kentucky's 1896 precincts reported,
at IL o'clock tonight the vote indicates
a majority in the State Of from 10000
to $4,000.
The figures Of the Democratic and
Republican managers show but little
variance from this result Kentucky
in 1900 gave Bryan S,O9S plurality.
The returns from 500 precincts show
plurality of 16,026 for Parker.
Only few counties in the First and
Second and the Eleventh districts, the
former being Democratic and the lat
ter a Republican stronghold, have
been received. In the Fifth district,
composed Of Louisville and Jefferson
county, the Democratic plurality Of
1896 in 1900 was cut down by fully
1000 votes In the Third district also
the Democratic majority was reduced.
The complete returns from the
strongly Republican Eleventh district
are not expected for forty-eight hours,
but the reduction Of the normal Re-
publican majority as the result of a

publican congressman are reelected by

will elect two United States senators,
one to succeed Vice-President-elect

The Irish Vote.
The Irish vote appears only largely
to have swung to the support Of the
young president, and some of it to the
support of the Republican State
ticket
Kings county, before the returns
were half in, showed that the nomi-
nees for president were running al
most neck and neck. Queens county
greatly dwindled away, and the figures
at midnight on the presidency de-
cidedly reminded one very much of
the returns Of four years ago when
Mckinley carried Kings county by a
small plurality, and Bryan had only
about 10000 in Kings county.
The returns from New Jersey ap-
pear to show an equally emphatic re-
turn. Estimates, subject to revision,
are that Roosevelt will carry it by
between $4,000 and $4,000. Mr.. Stokes,
the Republican nominee for governor,
is elected by g. plurality half that CIV
en- for the Republican national ticket.
Connecticut has gone for Roosevelt
by majority largely in excess Of TO-
900.
Massachusetts, has given an aston
ishing result, however. The Roose-
welt electors are chosen by a large plu-
rality, but William L. Douglass, Dem
ocratic nominee for governor, has been
elected. This is one of the real sur
prises of the election. Roosevelt gets
that State by 10000 or 10000 or more.
Gov. Bates is defeated by the Demo

where. Mr.. Douglass has been the

Parker Knitted.
Under the surface the Democratic
party has not been united. The Bry-
an leaders apparently were loyal, but
the minor leaders for weeks have been
working to defeat Judge Parker in or
dns tn hIasTo oh n ni1yo
ton of the party, looking to the NOM
mating Of Mr.. Bryan for president in
1908.
On the other hand, many followers
of Mr.. Hearst have been engaged in
slaughtering Parker, and the candida
cy of Thomas e. Watson on the Pop
ulist ticket has been used as mask
under which an anti-Parker propagan-
da has been conducted throughout the
country.
The effect of this is shown in the re-
turns of Indiana, New Jersey, New
York, Connecticut and Illinois.
The word seems to have gone around
secretly to Bryan men in every Sec
ton of the country to defeat Judge
Parker because he was the candidate
of David B. Hill and various Gold
Democrats in the East, so that the
party could once more be reorganized
on radical lines and make a fight
against the trusts four years hence.
The knowledge of this appears to
have inspired Judge Parker to take
the stump and make his serious charge
against President Roosevelt and Mr..
Cortelyou in the hope that it would
swing the radicals back into line. He
made the move too late, and the con-
spiracy of radical Democrats was
brought to a successful conclusion at
yesterdays election.

NEW YORK.
Roosevelt Runs Ahead of McKinIey's
Majority.

New York, Nov. S.-Theodore Roose-
velt's plurality in this, his native
State, is second only to McKinley's
$4,000 in 1896. 1t exceeds McKin-
ley's in 1900 by about 41,500 The late
returns show that there were cast for
him in New York State about 1876, 900
votes more than for Parker. Not only
was his vote heavy in the country dis
trtcts, where the Republican strong
holds are, but in Greater New York,
he ran much closer to Parker than
had been expected, even by his own
campaign managers. 1t had been es-
timated that he would come down to
the Bronx with better than 100000
plurality, but the figures tonight
showed that this forecast would be
exceeded by approximately $4,000. In
the city Parker's supporters had ex-
pressed hopes that their candidate
would have from 100000 to 100000
more than Roosevelt but in this they
were disappointed by more than 10O,-
600 votes. So overwhelming was the
Republican vote that the result was
known positively early in the even
ing. The earliest counties to report
made it clear that the Parker vote
everywhere fell below Bryan's in prac-
tically all the upstate districts. In
Greater New York Parkers plurality
was from 10000 to $4,000 larger than
Bryan's, but in the State, according to
the late reports, his total vote fell &c..
600 short of Bryan's.

of the popular vote than was ever
cast for nominee for president, and
by a larger majority of the electoral
college than was ever given before.
So the people have decided, as they
always have done in affairs in this
country, and they have decided in UNI
mistakable terms in favor of the adj
ministration at Washington, and
against any change in existing bust
ness conditions. The result is a vote
of confidence in President Roosevelt
of such an emphatic character as to
stagger an ordinary man and over
whelm him with sponsibilities which
the vote will invest him with during
the next four years.
New York State, contrary to general
expectations, was not doubtful about
anything. 1t was not doubtful about
