ROBBED esRvAIs SALOON.
Thieves Have Delicate Taste, and
Know a Good Thing When
They See II.

The Log Cabin" saloon at Gervals
was robbed last night. the thieves
kicking the back door IN. The money
drawer was not touched, the robbers
contenting themselves with taking all
the best liquors In the house. In their
selection OF brands they showed a
really cultivated taste, using nice
discrimination. For once those who
ran up against the booze got the best
of It, but lis turn will come, and an
overdose will probably lead TO their
undoing.

ing to the latest returns from the cleo
ton last Tuesday, 343 electoral votes for

2,213,000. President Roosevelt has an

How Some Of the States Went.
1t will require the official count to de-
termine whether Maryland will be placed
in the republican or democratic column.
From the returns thus far received the
indications are that the republicans have
elected seven and the democrats one Of
the electors of that state.
While Massachusetts, gave Roosevelt

Washington, Nov. 14.-1n view of the
published statement that Secretary OF
the Treasury Shaw would make q call
on government repositories for loan
Of $40, 000, 900, it can be positively stated
that no such call in the immediate 1fu-
ture is contemplated. There is at the
present time, it was said, no pressing
need for such call. Should it be made
at all, the probabilities are that # will
be some time during the month Of jan
uary. Secretary Shaw said he had heard
from several quarters that he proposed
issuing the call, but it may be stated on
authority that the call will not be issued
until January, and may not then unless
some reason develops for it's issuance
sooner, which at the present time is not
felt to be the case.

TRADE REVIEW.
Business Retarded BY Elections Tenn
porarily-Better Activity in
Leading Industries.

New York, Nov. 12.-Bradstreet's says:
Interest in the elections and unseason-
ably warm weather in some sections have
retarded trade, but the more optimistic
outlook as to the future found reflec-
ton later in an enlargement Of whole
sale and jobbing business, frmer
tone of prices and more assured activity
in many leading industries. Ofacial re-
ports Of past crop yields and advices OF
largely increased acreages in fall-sown
crops were contributors to the confident
feeling. In addition, reports as to the
outlook for holiday and next springs
trade have proved favorable. OF the
country's leading products, special &C.
tivity is noted this week in iron and steel,
coal. coke, hardware, hides, leather. gro
ceries, lumber and building material, the
latter two particularly at the west.
Drugs, paints, glass, whisky, tobacco,
live cattle, sheep and hogs not q full
seasonable movement at generally sat-
isfactory prices" !
R.. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review Of
Trade says: "All measures of trade In
dicated the customary loss due to hol-
iday Interruption, but subsequently
much of the deficit was regained, numer-
Gus evidences of increasing confidence
being seen In the disposition to place or
ders for distant shipment. Increased
consumption of pig iron is also signitl-
cant and in other leading branches of
manufacture there is steadily dimin-
fishing percentage Of idle machinery.
Failures this week numbered 213 In the
United States against 1888 last year, and
II in Canada, compared with 81 q year
ago."

Terrible Result Of Collision Between
Union Pacific Trains In
Wyoming.

Cheyenne, Wyo., Nov. 14.-Eleven
persons were killed and many injured
in a head-on collision Of a west-bound
Oregon Short Line passenger train with
an east-bound freight train rs miles west
Of Green River. The wreck was due to
an error of the telegraph operator at
Green River, in taking train order
from the dispatcher at that point. BY
releasing the freight train, instead OF
holding it at siding near the scene
of the accident, he made the discovery
that his blunder must inevitably result
in horrible loss of life. 1t was impos-
sible after the departure of the train to
warn the conductor. of the danger that
threatened.
