AN ELECTION ANALYSIS

A statement of the official vote of the United States at the recent preSideu- tial election has been compiled by the New York Times. The tOral vote Is given as lS,I}Lllg, and that for each of the presidential candidates Is given as follows
 Roosevelt, republican, 7,G+O,5GO; Parker, democrat I,ogt,aNl; DCbs, SO- c.aliSt, Sg2, 2,S17; Swallow, prohibition, 2tS,4ll:NaJSou, popu,t>t, l2+,|>l; Corrl- gan. SOcialjsr-iab1r. j5,5l9.
 er"The electoral vote will loo Gi6 for Roosevelt and liU for Parker
 These figures disclose some strange features Ot the election. They show a decline ut about half million in the total vote Of the country since 1900 and they indicate that Co demo rGtlC apathy rather than Roosevelt popularity was due the tremendous republican malOrl- ties. The republican gain iu the four years between Jhe elections Of l9OO and 1904 was no, equal Co the natural gam ui the country iu population. In tact, Oulv twice since the election Ot Lincoln in lSfU has the republican vote at any election shown an increase over the preceding election substantially smaller than that 1f The present year over that Oj lguO
 President Roosevelt received, in round numbers. 10000 votes more than Mckinley received in 1900. This figure is larger than the republican gain be- tween l~>> and l>g2 and lNgG and ly1U, only.

Director Jennings of the weather bu-
reau said this morning: This storm

strong southerly wind Saturday night.
A low barometer in Texas and Old Mex
leo moved south and east of Kansas to

ing Saturday and brought the wind

ARMOUR BROKE MARKET
Turned Loose 1 100000 Bush
els of Wheat.

Chicago. Jan. 25.-A break of 3ss
cents in the price of May wheat, mark
ed the selling today of approximately
100000 bushels by Armour
The crowd had sold July short Sat
urday on favorable rains in the SOUTH
west, and the cold snap today caused
a covering movement which carried the
July delivery to S37sc, 1h cents above
Saturdays close. Sympathetically May
rose 1A@Zc to $3.50, which is equal to
the best price of the season At this
price Armour let slip about a million
and a half. The decline thus started
brought out numerous stop loss orders
under which the reaction carried May
to sec. At this point profit taking by
shorts, and a cessation of the Armour
selling brought about a sharp rally to
89%c. July was comparatively much
steadier, the decline from the topreach-
ing only 2ssc.
Some estimates of the Armour sales
ran as high as 1000, 900 bushels. What
ever it was, considerable of it was
bought back to check the slump.
Closing prices were sufficiently steady
to indicate to the majority of traders
that, no matter what amount the lead
ing long had sold, he had not relinquish-
ed his grip on the nearby delivery May
closed at $685. Q891zc and July at S11zQ

TRAINS NOT AFFECTED.
Bad Weather Is General Over AL
Lines.

Reports received at the Santa Fe gen
eral offices this morning indicate that the

the temperature has not gone below 40
degrees above at that point. At Yelling
ton u degrees above is reported as the
coolest weather so far. Twenty above is
reported at Purcell, l. T., and at Cha
mute 8 above. The report from Illinois
states that the weather is cold and it is
showing hard In Missouri the tempera-
ture is 10 below and it is showing On
the eastern division, which includes that
part of the line lying between Kansas
City, Newton and Arkansas City, zero
is the average temperature. It is stated
that on, the southern, Kansas division it
is cloudy and that the average temper
ature on that division is above. A heavy
snow is reported at Bernard, Kan.
So far the bad weather has not affect
ed the time of the Santa Fe's seastbound
trains, but in the east, where the weather
is coolest, the trains are reported to be
late. No. is reported as two hours late

Berlin, Jan 25.-As the German gov

Japan will declare war unless Russia
answers her demands favorably. Rus
sia recognizes this and accordingly in
tends to accept enough of JaDan's
points to make the Toxic cabinet feel
that a sufficient cause for war no
longer exists. and while the fortheom-
ing note will not fully satisfy Japar it
will prevent the serious possibility of q
declaration OF war.

One of the greatest American millionaires
once said to his physician, e. million dol
lars, Doctor, for a new stomach" and then
the sick man groaned and turned away.
One of a mans greatest pleasures is that
born of keen appetite, vigorous digestion
and a good dinner, and this belongs to
MANY a good fellow who is living OIL small
wages but the rich man without stomach
has to forego the good things of the table
because his stomach rebels. without
healthy stomach and good digestion, our
blood is thin, watery and poor, our heart
action is weak, our liver does not do its
duty. and man is miserable and unhappy.
In this condition man is prey to the germs
of influenza, consumption, malaria and all
the ills that he is heir to. Consumption
can be treated by natural methods which
are as close to nature as possible.
Dr. r. v. Pierce, chief consulting physi-
clan of the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical
Institute at Buffalo, N. Y, years ago uu-
derstood this disease, and after long pc
Rod of experiment discovered certain roots
and herbs which were natures remedies,
and succeeded in putting them up in
form that would be easily procured and
ready to use This he called DR. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. II gives no
false stimulation because II contains NO
alcohol and no narcotic. II helps diges-
ton and the assimilation of such elements
in the food as are required for the blood.
Instead of a cod liver oil, against which
the already sensitive stomach will declare
open rebellion, this tonic has pacifying
| action upon the sensitive stomach and
gives to the blood the food elements the
! tissues require. II maintains the patients
nutrition by enabling him to eat, retain,
| digest and assimilate nutritious food. 1t
overcomes gastric irritability and symp-
toms Of Indigestion and in this way fever,
night sweats, headaches. etc, are done
away with. 1t fortifies. the body against
the germs of consumption, grip and ma
iaria, and It builds up the tissues and puts
on healthy hesh.
When the druggist says he has some
thing that is "just as good" as DR.. Piercs's
Golden Medical Discovery, he says so be-
cause he hopes to make a better profit,
but his own mixtures have not stood the
test of long experience nor had the SUCCESS
that DR.. Pierce's medicines have had.
