The Man Who Beat Roosevelt.

1t has generally been supposed that
state tickets in all parts of the Union
at the recent election but an exception
has been found in Illinois. In that
state. Charles :. Deneen. Republican

Roosevelt in the rear in the matter

plurality than 304.739. beating all rec
Illinois. But Mr.. Deneen. impossible
as it seems. received a plurality
Roosevelt. as his margin over his OPP
ponent was no less than 3O3,30 votes.
1t is not a big margin over the ire
mendous Roosevelt plurality. but it is
still margin and makes Mr.. Deneen
unique among this falls candidates.
These figures show that the COVER
nor-elcct of Illinois is re:narka bly,
popular man. and his hold upon the
hearts of the people around him is such
as few men have ever had. He was
state attorney of Chicago and showed
himself a man of much the same stamp
as Folk in Missouri. and was nOmi-
mated as a reformer. beating out the
candidate of the regular party Organi-
zation in the state. He is only 80
years Of age. and his public service
consists Of one term in the Illinois
legislature and eight years as the
| states attorney for Cook county, in
| which Chicago is located. AS stated,
the other day. he was born in one
county i'm Illinois. educated in another,
taught school in another. married in
another. and admitted to the bar in a
fifth, so various parts of the state feel
that he belongs to them. AS to his
ability and integrity there is no ques
ton. and these qualities with his Won
,lerful popularity make him a man
that the country will hear much Of in
the next decade.

Tn. comino Session Of Congress.


1t seems pretty well agreed by the
Washington correspondents that the
session of Congress, which will begin
next Monday, will be rather quiet
one. short session seldom is pro-
ductive of new and important legisla-
ton, and there is no reason to believe
that the coming one will prove an ex-
ception. The adjournment must come
upon March 4. and there is plenty of
unfinished business and necessary
legislation such as the appropriation
bills to take the attention of both
bodies until that time. The Demo-
cratic minority, after the rebuke given
their party. November 5, is not likely
to be in a very belligerent mood. They
were very strenuous at the last session
in their attempts to make campaign
capital and the verdict of the people
shows them how completely they mis-
understood public temper. The sub
jects upon which they were so talka-
tive, last spring, will be absolutely de-
void of interest to them now. and their
policy can be little more than a
waiting one, while the Republicans en-
act the legislation necessary for the
administration of the government and
welfare of the country.

An Earlier Oreqon Difficulty.

We spoke in these columns. the
other day. of the possibility that the
Republicans would lose one of the cleo
tors chosen by such an overwhelming
plurality in Oregon on the ground that
he was not a legal voter in that state.

election. This difficulty reminds the
Boston Transcript of the famous
Haycs-Tilden fight in which an Ore
gOn irregularity figured prominently.
The trouble at that time presented the
possibility of much more serious con-
sequences than can follow the loss of
a single vote from the large majority
Of President Roosevelt in the electoral
college. At the election in November.
1876, Hayes carried Oregon. but it was
discovered that one of the electors
chosen was disqualified by his being a
postmaster. On this discovery this
elector. j. W. Watts. resigned. but the
other electors decided that they had a
right to fill the vacancy. and filled it by
choosing Watts. The Secretary of
State thereupon gave certificates of
election to the Republican electors.
Governor Grover. Democrat. and a
native of Maine, by the way. then took
a hand in the game and gave what he
considered a certificate Of election to
f.. A. Cronin. the Democratic candi-
est number of votes. The contest
was referred to the electoral commits
sion, which decided in favor of the Re
publican electors, holding that the fact
that Watts was postmaster at the
time of his election was rendered i'm
material by his resignation both as
postmaster and elector and his SUBJ
sequent appointment to fill the vacancy
SO made by the electoral college" 1t
further decided that Governor Growers
refusal to certify Watts as elector was
Of no effect and that the paper he gave
Cronin was no certificate whatever
The certificate on which the Republic
can electors stood was that of the sec
rotary Of state Of Oregon. bearing it's
great seal The commissions decision
was approved by Congress. and Watts
vote came in very handy in electing
Hayes.

1T ALWAYS HELPS

An ailment like consump-

and years getting a foothold
cannot be relieved in a week
or day. SCOTS Emulsion
will always afford relief and
often cure, but not over night.
The consistent use of SCOTS
Emulsion will positively help
the consumptive at any

guarantee nothing beyond
this, but we know that right
living and SCOTS Emulsion
have done more to cure con-
sumption than anything else.

of an Independent course of treatman,

that a cure once accomplished is thor.

WONDERFUL WORK.
Lots Like It Being Done Right Here in

Augusta people are surprised at the
work being done by THE Little Con-
queror." Public expression on the
subject brings the matter frequently
before the people. At first there were
many doubters; and why not? So
many claims of a similar nature have
been made with little or no backing,
excepting the word of some stranger
residing in far-away place: this evil
dence was accepted for lack of better.
Not necessary to accept it any longer
All sufferers from any kidney i'll can
find plenty of local endorsement for
remedy that will cure them. Surely
the wonderful work of DOan's Kidney
Pills right here at home Is PROOF
sufficient to satisfy any skeptic. Read
the expression of one citizen on the
subject:
Everett G. Smith. printer with the
Kennebec Journal for years, says:
THE more Doan's Kidney Pills be-
come known the fewer people there VIII
be who suffer from backache. My
experience with that remedy when
procured at Chas. X. .Partridges old
Reliable drug store, opposite the post

Those who advocate changes in the
football rules. so that the game may be
made more open on the ground that
the game would then be less rough and
more free from accidents. overlook the
important fact that nearly all of the
serious accidents of the season have
been caused by tackles in the open
field rather than during mass plays.
While the more open game is desirable
from the point Of view of the spectator.
who desires spectacular features and
sudden changes in the fortunes Of bat
tie, yet the increasing crowds witness
ing the game as played today, show
that the present style is very popular,
and the fact that serious accidents are
actually fewer rather than more num-
erous disproves the contention of the
advocates Of the "sopen" game. The
hurdling and battering-ram style of
playing occasionally uses up a player
through exhaustion, but very rarely re-
suits in bad hurts. The real bone
breaking comes in fierce tackles in the
open field. and often 1t is the lightest
player who thus puts a heavy player
out Of the game.

LIGHT AND AIRY.
Wise and Otherwise.

Some husbands never know how
much they are beloved until their wives
want a new hat.
The man who said the pen was
.nightier than the sword must have
witnessed a French duel.
Look after the pennies-your wife
will see that the dollars don't get away
from you.
Some women are born bargain hunt
ers. others contract the habit at the
age of 3 or 4.
The man who is always giving
pointers on how to manage a wife can
usually be found in the wOodshed after
supper smoking his evening cigar.
When a mans hat wont fit him in
the morning it is not always a sign
that he's been out with the boys the
night before. He may have got the
best of an argument with his wife.
