A Big Political Raid.

Missouri Republicans made a big
raid upon the Democratic circuit
judges of Missouri at the late electioa.
The Nevada Mail shows that pior to
the late election there we're forty
Democrats and eight Republicans on
the circuit bench IN Missouri. The
terms Of office of ten of these do not
expire for two years or longer, but
successors to the others were chosen
November 8. Of these thirty-eight
the Republicans captured twenty-five
and the Democrats sixteen. One
Republican aud seven Democrats had
no opposition in the election, hence
there were only twenty-eight districts
where there we're contests and the
Republicans came near making a clean
sweep of them. They also captured
the state supreme court judgeship and
the two judges elected for the Kansas
City and st. Louis courts of appeals.

Several new features developed
within the past few days which
favor the operations and the good
standing of the c. F. & l. Co.,
among which might be enumer-
ated the following:
The freight cut on wire pro-
ducts from the east has been de-
clared off.
The coal miners in the southern
district have refused to go out in
obedience to the last call of w.
NJ. Howells.
Progress is beinng made in the
White Pine region in the matter
OF opening up iron ore deposits,
and railroad building into the
mountain is being pushed.
Stock took an upward tendency
which would indicate that those
on the inside are satisfied that the
reorganization plan is as good as
adopted by all stockholders and
that the plan of general activity
and more extensive operations
will be carried out.
So much in general.
AS to things local the changes
have been for the best.
The spike mills which had to
be shut down because of an over
supply Of standard spikes is now
again full swing and running as
though it had never stopped.
The rod mill also resumed oper-
ations as did the 4o-inch bloom
mill. These departments were
down for a brief spell only,
though, and they will be kept go
ing about as regularly as any OF
the departments.
The converter is silent owing
to lack of ironNon which to work
and it is probable that it will not
be started up again until the 10Th
inst.
The pair of blast furnaces on
duty are stacking up big ricks OF
pig iron bars and are losing no
time at all, but of course they can
keep the converter running only

on half time, as the new plant has
a capacity of from l 900 to 1000
tons per day.
Coke conditions remain un-
changed, the supply as yet not
justifying the starting up OF the
third blast furnace. Reports from
the coal diggings go to show that
a few additional men are at work
on the ovens and washeries, and
that the increase of the product is
gradually becoming more notice
able.
The refusal, for the most part,
of the non-union coal miners to
go out on strike, goes to show
that the big coal strike inaugur-
ated last November in the Trini-
dad fields, is almost a thing of
the past, and that there will hence
forth be little interruption in the
matter of securing sufficient
supply OF fuel, that is as far as
coal is concerned, but there is a
acarth of experienced coke mai :
ers. There is room for more good
ones in the southern district.
Experienced men, for that mat
ter, are in demand in several de-
partments of the steel works.
There are no new developments
regarding the rail mill, The fin
ishing department is as yet in an
incompleted condition but every
effort is made to bring it to fin
ish within week or two. When
all is in shape it will greatly in
crease the output of the rail mill.
About all the Stag is freighted
out to the reservoirs and dumped

One week from today will be

roll of last month was about
S1S5,ooo, and that of next month
will be about the same. The pay
roll has been gradually on the in
crease, but until everything can
be gotten in steady running con-
dition it can not be gotten up to

INDICTMENT
FOUND BY THE GRAND JURY
AGAINST COUNTY TREAS
URER THOMAS.

Pomey. o.. Oct. 26.-After nearly
a months Investigation, the grand
jury has returned an Indictment
against County Treasurer Thomas ].
Chase, charging the embezzlcment, of
sIi,50O from the. county, ON Septem-
ber 9th when 1t is claimed the treas
ury was robbed by masked robbers,
the safe looted and the treasurer
locked in the vault. At o'clock this
afternoon the treasurer was brought
in from his Office. his bond was fxed
at $4,000. The prisoner was placed in
the custody Of the sheriff until he could
give bond. With few exceptions, Mr..
Chase has been suspected by the public
ever since the alleged robbery occurred.
The fact that not a single person could
be found VINO saw strangers about the
court house that day added weight to
the suspicion. Chase, If guilty, must
have had at least one confederate. to
lock him in the safe vault. Chase has
probably $1,000 in property, which
could be applied to the $14,5OO taken.
