The Elections In ForTwo States Show No Material! Change
The Lower House. Surprises In East
Joint Statehood For New
New Hampshire.

CONCORD, Nov. With seven.
teen towns to be heard from, the re-
turns from yesterdays state election
indicate quite conclusively that the
contest for the governorship will have
to be settled in the legislature, the
republican candidate, Charles M. Floyd,
having failed to secure a majority over
the other two candidates.
The returns from 275 of the 29z
wards and towns of the state give
Floyd, republican, 80, 94S for governor
Jameson, democrat, 1913; Teller,
prohibition, 2,129; scattering, S74.
This is republican loss from foul
years ago Of 5,164.
A later dispatch says: Returns re-
ceived late tonight from some of the
missing small towns of the state indi.
cate the election Of Charles M. Floyd,
the repu blican candidate for governor,
by small majority.

ing to the latest returns received
throughout the state, Indiana went
about 80, 600 republican in yesterday
election. The democrats gained two
congressman, one from the Eighth and
one from the Eleventh districts, maxi
ing the delegation nine republicans and
four democrats. Congressman John c.

VIII Control Legislature.

HELENA, Nov. 8.-Reports from
every county in the state indicate that
the legislature which will elect SEN
ator to succeed Senator Clark will con-
sist of 81 republicans and 4S demo-
Gratis, giving the republicans major
ity of 10 on joint ballot. The latest
figures on the state ticket do not make
any change in the estimate giving
Pray, republican, 5000 plurality for
congressman.
While the count in Silver Bow has
not been completed, the returns so far
indicate that Walsh, democrat, will
carry it by less than 1000, whereas it
was the expectation that he would
have not less than 5000. There have
been some surprises for the republic
ans, also, some counties that have been
depended on to send republicans to
the legislature, sending democrats. In
Lewis and Clark county, which has
not gone republican for years, the
democrats lost heavily.

Is a Woman Happier Married?

OF course she is. Could there be any
question among right thinking folk
In these days it is rather fashionable to
deride marriage. Even married people
themselves occasionally scof at the
holy state" and unmarried folk try
to find advantages in single blessed
ness, independence, freedom loss of anx-
iety and such delectable things. At
the bottom of the hearts of most of us,
however, we are quite certain that the
married person is the happier being,
and wed indeed is the ultimate end of
the woman who refuses to take upon
herself the responsibilities Of matri-
mony because she would be independent
and free.
Not, of course, that one would advise
any member of our sex, no matter how
poor or old or friendless, to get mar
ried for the sake of home or compan-
iOnship or any mundane reason like
this. Marriage, if it is to be success
full, must be dictated by true love and
nothing else. At the same time there
are women who fancy that they can dc
well without it. The troubles are not
worth the pleasures which come in it,
train, and they think they are happier
unmarried and will be so until the enc
of time.
Poor sisters, they forget there is
something after all in the old saying
about love making the world 60 round
they forget that the old maid,. however
fresh and up to date, must still live
something of a stunted life. No! Again
one says the woman is happier married,
provided she choose rightly, and for
choosing there is no better method than
the oldfashioned, perhaps forgotten,
one of love.

Kansas.

TOPEKA, Kas., Nov. AT mid
night the reelection of Governor E..
W. Hoch, republican, seems reasonably
certain, although the democratic COM
mittee still claims the state for William
A. Harris by plurality of $500. Ac-
cording to figures received by the re-
publican committee, ninety-seven cOun-
ties out of los gave Hoch a plurality of
ALSO. The democrats claim that their
figures on the same counties give Har-
ris plurality of nearly 1900 and that
the official returns will give him over
5000. The eight counties still missing
are in the western part of the state.
The republican figures are partially
confirmed by press dispatches.
Marion county, Mr.. Hoch's home,
was carried by Harris by majority of
139 votes, while Douglas county, Col
onel Harris home, was carried by a
majority of 100.
Aside from the head of the ticket
there is no question as to the election
of the entire republican state ticket.
The democrats make big gains in the
lower house of the legislature, but that
body will still be overwhelmingly repub-
lican and member Of the denominat-
ing party will be elected United States
senator to succeed A. w. Benson, who
himself is a candidate for reelection.
1t is generally admitted that the sena-
torial race lies between Senator Ben
son, Congressman Charles Curtis of the
first district and Joseph L. Bristow.

keep your own trubles to yourself.
The world is to busy to care for your
ills and sorrows. Learn to do some
thing for others. Even. if you are a
bedridden invalid, there is always
something that you can do to make
others happier, and that is the surest

Let your aim be high. Let some
great object fire your whole being.

situations which you might fill honor
ably. Seek to be such that the present

POLICE THINK THEY
HAVE THE HOSE THIEF
PRISONER HAS wAeoNLoAo or
THE RUssER
Detectives Take Man Into Custody
Whom They Believe Responsible
for Much Dryness Of Lawns in
Residential District

Detectives zeigler and Hosick ar
rested man yesterday afternoon whom
they believe is responsible for numer-
Gus thefts of hose from the westside
residential district.
The prisoner gave the name Of
Charles Bowman, but his real name is
said to be Charles Humer, a junk dealer
living at 81 North Anderson street.
In his possession, the detectives say,
they found more than 500 worth of
hose of all descriptions, from light
pieces twenty feet in length to heavy
hose seventy-fve feet long.
A wagon load of the alleged stolen
property was taken to the police station
and the detectives were busy all the
afternoon sorting out the different
brands.
Within the last two months there
have been many reports of hose steal
ing received by the desk sergeants.
Says He Bought Hose
Although many neighbors chuckle in
glee when informed by the people living
next door, their lawn would not be
watered for some time owing to the
theft of the apparatus, the joke has not
appealed to many business men who re-
lied upon the nightly exercise with the
sprinkler to acquire the sleep habit.
1t is estimated at the police station
that more than fifty complaints have
been received since July of stolen
garden hose.
The patrolmen were instructed last
night to notify the citizens on their re-
spective beats that a choice assortment
of garden hose was at the central sta-
tion awaiting their inspection and pos
sible identification.
The detectives believe that Humer
has done a thriving business in stealing
hose from one place and perhaps selling
it to somebody living on the next street.
