A RECORD ELECTION
New York, Missouri and Illi- nois Results Great Features.
;OLID SOUTH IS BROKEN AT LAST.
Nebraska, Bryan's State, Gave Roosevelt and Fairbanks Sew. enty-five Thousand
 Plurality.

 NEW YORK, Nov. .10.-Perhaps the most astounding feature of the presi- iential election of 1904 Is that Missou- ri, the one time cornerstone of the sol Id south, has been carried by Roose- welt. Second only in interest was the announcement that Illinois has gone Republican by the tremendous plural lty of 24O.OOO, a figure never before approached in an election in that state. Even Pennsylvania, with its unprece- aented Republican plurality of 450,OOO, does not, comparatively speaking, ex- ceed the high water mark of the Roosevelt tidal wave in the great state of the middle west.
 Little Delaware, Maryland, West vir- ginia and Montana also furnished sur prises by going Republican. The rosi- est dream of the most optimistic Re- publican never comprehended such vic tories at every point of the national compass.
 Nebraska went 75,o00 for Roosevelt, and the state ticket also made clean sweep. Mickey (Rep.) has good plu- rality for governor. Bryan failed sig nally to carry the legislature for fu- sion, which kills his ambition to go to the United States senate. Every con gressionaI district went Republican also. Congressional results are: Republic ans, 241; Democrats, 40; to come, 5.
 Late returns show that the electoral vote stands as follows:

 TRENTON, N. J., Nov. 10.-Late re- turns from New Jersey show that the plurality in the state reaches 60.000. and Edward Casper Stokes, the Repub- lican candidate for governor, has de- feated Black Dem.) by at least 10000.

McDermott being the only Democratic member returned to the lower branch of the national house.
 The next legislature will be Republic an in both branches The two houses will next winter elect United States senator to succeed John Kean, who, 1t is conceded, will be reelected. The state senators elect will vote in 1907 for successor to United States Sen ator John F. Dryden.

Ohio Broke All Records.

. CLEVELAND, O., Nov 1o.-Latest returns from Ohio indicate that Roose- welt has broken all the records O. Buckeye politics by carrying the state by 100000 plurality. Senator Dick. state chairman, asserts that it may eL- ceed this figure, and Democratic State Chairman Garber admits that the plu- rality for the Republicans will be near the 100000 mark. The vote was the largest ever recorded in this state, and the Republican gains were general. dis tricts that were never known to go Re- publican deserting the Democratic ranks.

AN INDIAN CUSTOM.

When an Indian girl dies her moth CT often substitutes a doll for her little one. She fills the empty cradle with feathers, arranged in the form of the child, and carries this around with her wherever she goes, talking to it and caressing it as she would her lov- ing child.
 If she does not do this, she ties in q tight bundle the toys, clothes and arm lets which belonged to her little one, and, fastening this to the cradle board, carries it as she had formerly done her child. The Oiibways call these "unlucky dolls,'' because they repre- sent the dead.
 The reason the Indian mother carries her "dolI' in this pathetic way is be- cause she thinks that the little child is too small to find it's way to Para disc. By substituting the doll it wfli help along until the dead baby has grown large enough to make its way to the spirit land alone. at least this is what the Indian mother believes.
 The children of the Passamaquoddy tribe of Indians play with doll not more than couple of inches high. IT. fact, 1t is smaller than the word which means doll, for this word is "ampsku- dahekanel." One had almost rather go without make-believa babies than to be obliged to call them by such an out landish name, don't you think so? Just fancy q wee papoose crying, 'I want an ampskudahekanekv
 The Sioux doll is made of chamols and deerskin The curious thing about it is that it is perfectly flat To judge from this one might think that the Sioux babies were systematically starved. This is not the case for their are as round and flat and Jolly as any children you ever saw.-Boston Trav- eler.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Nov. 1o.-Re- turns are still incomplete except for the city and county of Milwaukee.

Quarles.

New York state gives the ticket head sd by Roosevelt a plurality of over 165,- 100, while Parker carries Greater New York by only about 3s0OO. New ter Sey and Connecticut roll up the biggest pluralities for Roosevelt ever given to. any candidate in these two states. West Virginia, Indiana, Indianapolis and Montana, all classed as doubtful not only by the Democrats, but by most Republicans, recorded Republican plur Alities of large figures.
 In the next congress the Republican majority will be larger than it is now.
 The New York legislature is still Re publican on joint ballot and separate ballot by large majorities, insuring the slection of Republican to succeed United States Senator Chauncey NJ. Depew. The result in New York city represents a greater shock and disap pointment to the Democrats than any pther feature of the sort excepting the Reflection of Maryland and Missouri. The Democratic vote here shows a tre- mendous falling off from that given Coler two years ago.

THE DECREASE IN SALT.

state that the United States produced 18,96S,OS9 barrels of salt during the year 1903. This is the smallest output since 1898, and shows that the use of salt is decreasing. This is probably due to the recent disclosures of emin- ent scientists that people eat too much salt, that there is sufficient natural salt in the water we drink, in the air we breathe, and in the fruits and veget- ables we eat to supply the human system, without sprinkling it plentiful on every dish. Many diseases are now traced to the use of salt.-From Sue cess.

Our Secretary of Agriculture Says That
They are Increasing.
The agricultural strength Of Iowa
comes from the intelligence of her peo-
pie and the excellence of her soil. Iowa
was settled by home-seekers from
|among people living along the same
parallels of latitude in the east, and by
people from northern Europe, who have
a love for country life and a respect for
|education. Our common school system
is one Of the best in the land, and
through it, after half century of eff
fort, our people have become homogene-
|ous. Iowa, as Senator Allison put it
lately, is state of small colleges-col-
leges that do so much for the student
because the instructed studies not only
the topic in hand, but the student in
hand. The high school system of Iowa
has grown up and developed under the
wise manag cement Of our educators, and
has taken the place Of the academies
that, in other countries, prepare young
men and women for college. So that
we have a very complete system of ed
ucation in the state.
The world has done but little in the
past for the farmer along educational
lines, but a beginning was made in this
direction nearly half a century ago, and
Iowa has made as much of the eppor-
tunity given by congress and the state
as any other commonwealth in the I'M
ion or9any other country in the world

POPE PAYS ROYAL FAMrLrs
WATER TAX.

Plus * has just given a most inter-
|esting reason why he loves the royal
family, and at the same time inciden-
tally revealed hitherto unknown fact.
Love the royal family?" he said.
why, Of course do. Do not pay for
their water?" !f}Z
PAY for their water!" those presant
exclaimed. What can Your Holiness
mean?"
Yes, pay for every drop of water
consumed in the Quirinal Palace, and
will confess that that Is not a little,
with modern needs and ancient foun-
tains. 1t happened like this: When
Rome was taken and the Quirinal in
habited by the enemies Of the Papacy,
the Pontiff, Of course, was paying for
the water used, and he-Plus TX refused
to allow any one else to pay, as that
would have been to acknowledge that
the palace, ancient seat Of the Popes,
did not belong to him. Leo XIII contin-
ued the custom, and also follow pre-
cedent. Have I not given proof that I
love those who inhabit the Quirinal?'
Some one present ventured to ask
Pontiff what the yearly cost was, to
which His Holiness replied, laughingly:
That cannot tell you: but measuer it
by my love for the royal family, and
you will arrive at a very fair guess!''
And with this enigmatical reply the SUBJ
ject was allowed to drop.-From The

HARVEST OF THE STRENUOUS.

| HARVEST OF THE STRENUOUS.
/ A conductor on the Northwestern
railway is lying at his home in a seri-
lous condition ais the result Of an as
Isault upon him by a crowd of Sunday
lSchool boys. Five Sunday Schools were
returning from a picnic, and in the rear
lear Of the train some boys were making
la disturbance. The conductor remon-
lstrated and the boys attacked him.
They may have fractured his skull, but
lat any rate, they placed his life in
Jeopardy.
So the general example Of contempt
flor law and authority, the lack Of that
Wholesome discipline that develops and
Strengthens character, have reached our
Sunday Schools. And the gentle life
exemplified everywhere in the New
Testament SENS to be overshadowed by
the militancy of the newest (and oldest)
dispensation.
We are told by certain educators that
| the way to cure this riotous ten
ldency in the public schools is to rein
Itroduce the rod. Would these same adj
vocates Of slippressing the brute by
brute force advise the use Of the rod in
the Sunday school also? If it would
cure in one place, why not in another?
The real cure Is not In the rod. 1t is
| in the home and in the example set the
young by their elders. The boy is a
man Of smaller growth. He follows the
example the man sets him. If the man
lis rowdyish, boisterous, pugnacious,
lacking in regard for others, lawless and
imbued with false conceptions Of in
dividual liberty the boy will be like him.
