Bullion returns came in was the
result known as to recorder.
The polls were opened at eight
O'Clock. The judges were E. T.
George, William Altenburg and
Charles NJ. Grayham. The tellers
were Ernest Lemaire and II. j.

J. w. Treat and the last voter was
George w. Thompson. In the
count the judges rejected six bal
lots. Five were crossed with lead
pencil and one was not stamped in
the voting column. The Repub-
licans claim to have been the loser
by these mistakes as the evident
intention was to vote with them.
Another man voted Tor all the
presidential electors. He lost bis
vote for President. Otherwise the
ballot was correctly made out and
accepted. While there was no ex.
element over the voting, the in

anxiously awaited.

largest vote in the history OF the

of 100, exercising the right OF
franchise. With but few excep-
tons the Republicans carried the
day, the Roosevelt electors lead
ing the Parker nominees by 40
votes and taking the town from
the Democratic column.
Considerable scratching was
done in the voting for local and
county officers, particularly in the
selection OF assemblymen and JUS

that the Republicans succeeded in
eleoting their district attorney,

regent candidates, congressman
and Justice for the supreme court
The Democrats elected Murphy
for sheriff, Hogan for treasurer
by a small margin and Limbaugh
for justice of the peace. The
close contests were between Dale
and Christian for commissioner,
and Hogan and Dalton for treas
urer. Both of the latter are men
of high standing in the county

From all over the land reports
poured in, telling the story of
Roosevelt's election by increased
~maiprities over those given Nc
Kinley four years ago, and the in
dications are that the nation is
more completely in the hands of
the Republican party thar ever
before in its history. Not a SO
called doubtful State found its way
into the Democratic column and
on the other hand many of the
States which the Democrats firmly
believed would go for Parker gave
overwhelming and sensational ma
iorities for Roosevelt. 1t was n
landslide in the fullest sense of
the word. Missouri, an old time
Democratic State broke the solid
south and voted for the Republi-
can electors. Should the official
count bear out the early dispatches
President Roosevelt will have 343
votes in the electoral college and

from the Associated Iress the Re-
publicans have elected 233 Repre-
sentatives and the Democrats al,

next House is probably go.
Nevada went Republican by
over 1000. The returns further
show the election of Yerington

Mr.. Nixon as the next United
States Senator, Smith and Starrett

Destructive Storm

Violent tail and rain storms were
reported this morning to have oc'

country yesterday afternoon and
evening. In some sections of the
south and west number of people
lost their lives, stock was killed and
the property loss was very great.
Quite a severe thunder and rain
Storm passed over the city early
last evening, but no serious dam
age was done In this vicinity so far
as we have been able to learn. The
rain continued to fall at intervals
until an early hour this morning.
The fall was quite heavy through
out the surrounding country and
will cause q good rise In the river,

Hill ON SUNDAY
SELLING.

Candidate Hill says he Is pledg-
ed, If elected, to enforce the law
against selling whiskey on Sunday
as provided by the law of our State
He favors a reduction In salaries.
He will recommend two new po-
licemen at least. He promises a
business administrations, all evils
to be regulated as they can best
be urder the circumstances and
will advise the abolition of num-
Der of officers like water clerks,
health officers and so on. Mr..
Kirkland promises If elected to do
his best to enforce the laws, econo-
mize, and to honestly and fairly
conduct the business to the best of
his ability. This, we believe Is a
fair statement of the promises of
both candidates.

No Politics in Muni.
cipaI Affairs this Year

: We have no politics In our muni-
eipal election this year. The Clti.
zens ticket Is composed of Demo-
Gratis and Republicans. by actual
count being half Republicans a1d
half Democrats on the Citizens
ticket. Some Democrats are sup.
porting the Republican ticket. A
councilman on the Citizens ticket
and q Democrat In politics Is openly
supporting the Republican ticket,
and the Republicans who are can
didates on the Republican ticket, or
some of them at least. are openly
supporting a candidate on the
Republican ticket, or some of them
at least, are openly supporting a
candidate on the Citizens ticket and
electioneering against their own
nominee. Soil Is all mixed up and
the whole issue Is simply this:
Will there be a reform In regard to
Sunday selling of Whiskey, will the
saloons run the town or the people.
This seems to be the only question
at issue. All agree both candidates
for mayor are honest, competent,
and capable, but the voters inquire
as to what they will do If elected on
these questions? Its a mixed up
battle and In some quarters very
bitter, but taken altogether Its a
very quiet contest.

Election Com'rs Should
Be Careful Tomorrow.

1t Is an open secret here that
many illegal ballots are cast at all
elections by voters who are not en-
titled to a vote. There are voters
here who have families In other
States; under no circumstances are
they entitled to vote. A young man
whose 2Ist birthday comes on
March the a4th 1904, is, under the
law Of our State ~ years old on the

Election Day
Tomorrow

Tomorrow we will hold our an
nual municipal election. The peo'
pie have quietly worked this year
as they never have before Our
taxes the past year have been about
ell expended. But few improve
ments have been made. Few debts
have been paid, The money how
ever Is practically gone. We need
a change badly. Salaries can we'll
be reduced, many officers can be
done away with and general revl
sion of the pay rolls Is needed. The
city can employ superintendent
of Water Works much cheaper
The street superintendent can be
employed at less figures than we
have been paying. A health officer
Is needless luxury. A city at
torney on a salary can be dis
pensed with and an attorney en-
iployed when needed. A city at.
torney, when he advises the couu.
Gil as they want to be advised Is
useful, If he does not, the council
does as 1t wants to do anyhow. so,
an attorney Is not needed So on
down the whole list. Councilmen
should be paid when they attend
council meetings only and not paid
when they do nothing.

Coming Election

From present indications there
will be more or less Scratching"
on both tickets this year, and for
those who do not wish to vote
the straight ticket it will be well
to observe the following in order
thrown out: For instance, if you
desire to vote for the head of the
Citizens ticket, draw a line
through the Republican ticket
from top to bottom. Then if you
desire to vote for a candidate
whose name appears on the Re-
publican ticket, "scratch out
the Citizens candidate and write
the name that you want to vote
for under the erased one. The
other ticket. Draw a line
from top to bottom and transfer
the names and your ballot will
not be thrown out.

While the visits of patrons of
the public schools of Sistersville,
may not b cas- numerous as might
be desired by teachers and pupils,
it is gratifying to know that there
is an increase the present term
in such visits over other years.
Once the habit is formed it is
bound to grow in popularity. 1t
has been suggested that an in.
centive to frequent visits would
be for the different schools to
arouse feelin of rivalry, the OBJ
ject being to bring out all pat
rons as far as possible. Already,
it is said, a few schools have
tried the plan and find it profita-
ble. Would that it should in.
crease in favor.

CHAPTER XV.-Continued.
The Difficulty of Pleasing Everybody

Never was man 50 perplexed as the
unfortunate ship-owner. In the in
slant that his beloved daughter was
restored to him out Of the very depths
of the sea, he was asked either to I'M

unforgiving parent, or sanction her
marriage to a Misunderstanding per-
son of most forbidding if otherwise
manly appearance, who had certainly
saved her from death in many ways

could not be regarded as suitable
son-in-law solely on that account.
What could he do, what could he
say, to make the position less intol-
cradle? .s.
Anstruther, quicker than Iris to ap-
preciate Sir Arthur Deane's dilemma,
gallantly helped him. He placed a
loving hand on the girls shoulder.
BE advised by me, Sir Arthur, and
you too Iris he said. "This is no
me to deal with Lord ventnor. am
content to trust the ultimate verdict
to you, Sir Arthur. You will learn
in due course all that has happened.

as you would meet any other

your minds to-day without troubling
yourselves about Lord Ventnor."
II am very much obliged to YOU"
murmured the baronet, who, notwith-
standing his worry, was far too ex-
perienced a man Of the world not to
acknowledge the good sense of this
advice, no matter how ruff1anly might
be the guise of the strange person who
gave it.
