TWO DEATHS OF TYPHOID FEVER
From Wednesdays Dailyl
Bride Of Four Weeks and Little Girl
Died This Morning.

Mrs Emma Leu, the young wife of
Ferdinand Leu, died at 1890 this
morning at the Leu home six miles
northeast of the city, of typhoid fever,
and the funeral will be- held Friday,
at ~ o'clock from the family home
and at o'clock from the Christ Luth-
eran church. lnterment will be in
the new Lutheran cemetery on North
Eleventh street.
Particular interest attaches to this
death from the fact that Mrs. Leu was
but eighteen years of age and had
been married but four weeks, leaving
young husband to mourn her un-
timely death. She is the daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. William Winter and be-
sides the parents and husband, leaves
three brothers and two sisters to
mourn her loss. But brief month
ago Ferdinand Leu and Emma Winter
were pronounced one in the st. Paul
Lutheran church north of the city and
Friday the young bride will be laid in
her grave. The young couple had
been making their home with the
groom's parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Robert
Leu, since the marriage, and it was
there that her death occurred this
morning. The sympathy of friends
will go out to the young husband and
the two bereaved families.

Observation-Disclosures
PARKER CARRIED TWO OF THE
VOTING PRECINCTS.
LIGHT VOTE ON THE AMENDMENT
Bryan, Allen and Robertson Received
Votes as Preference for United
States Senator-Green Garden and
Schoolcraft Firmer than Missouri.

The official returns of the Madison |
county vote at the election last Tues. |
day are herewith presented, and some |
remarkable pluralities are shown. \ |
remarkable feature of the table Is the |.
fact that but two precincts in the !
county gave the Parker electors a plu
rality and they were Green Garden
and Schoolcraft. The majority for the
presidential electors, however, reached
the magnificent figure of 1,1G1.
Two precincts, Union and School
craft, reported no votes for preference
for United States senator. Mr. Bur.
ketts majority was 1882 There were
IA votes cast for w. j. Bryan four for
w. V. Allen and two for w. NJ. Robert
son for this honor.
The vote was light on the constitu-
tional amendment, less than quar-
ter of the voters expressing them
selves one way or the other on this
question. OF those who did vote there
was a majority of 2S5 in favor of the
amendment.
OF the pluralties on the state ticket
Governor Mickey received the small
est, 295, and j. l.. McBrien, for super
intendent of public instruction, the
largest, GA.
Jack Koenigstein, running without
opposition for county attorney, re-
ceived better than his party vote, get.
ting forty-seven more votes than the
republican presidential alectors.
Williams for state senator ran lit
tie behind the average on the state
ticket but received 555 as his plural
ity, which must be very satisfactory.
F. w. Richardson, for state representa-
tive received the same plurality as Nc.
Brien, being the highest vote on the
state ticket, and Johnny Harding for
county commissioner eclipsed every.
J thing but the presidential electors in
, his plurality, getting 701 votes more
than his opponent, Mr.. Mahoney.
j. j. Mccarthy was heartily endorsed
for congress, receiving a majority oi
45S over Mr.. McKillip.
, The Fourth ward of Norfolk has the
! credit for being the banner socialis
. precinct, more votes being recorded
for that ticket in the one ward thar
D in all the balance of the county.
