SUBURB OF THEIR OWN.
Washington Newspaper Men to Lag
Ont Novel Rural Retreat.

Washington Newspaper Men to Lag
Out Novel Rural Retreat.
Washington is about to have a sub
urb like unto which there IS nothing jYs
the records of things suburban, says
the Washington Post. Probably tie
most remarkable thing about this sub
urb is that ii is not going to he put on
the market. This is not its only
unique feature, for it is to have no
streets, and a man with Il bank &C
count of more than three figures w!l
not be welcomed within its limits.
1t is to be a truly rural" suburb,
controlled by Il diminutiye suburban
trust and if the plans of its builders
materialize the civic millennium will
have been discovered and folks living
out Chevy Chase way will have mod
ei settlement where great social prob
lens viii have been solved, where there
will be neither capital nor labor, where
politics will be an entity and the lion
and the lamb will lie down together.
The trust that is about to give being
TO this mysterious suburb is composed
of Washington newspaper men who,
with Il modesty that is paradoXical, re-
quest that their names be not publish
ed. About six months ago when Wash
ington generally was warming its feet
at CRATE fires and steam radiators,
these men-siX in number-bousht q
part of Clean Drinking manor, just to
the eastward of Chevy Chase lake and
adjoining the estate of Old Nick Jones.
The tract, twenty three acres in ALL is
covered with a natural growth of tim
BERN fact, il is a veritable forest.
The six newspaper men have divided
the property, and each one is preparing
to construct thereon Il low. rambling
bungalow of logs. with rough shingle
roofs, broad porches, dormer windows
and all that sort of thing.
Instead of streets the boys have pro
vided for typical country roads winding
through the trees. thus retaining TO a
marked degree the rustic effect. The
material for the bungalows will be cut
from the roadways and from the clear
ings for the building sites. The entire
tract is to be. fenced in, little pathways
will be laid out under the pines and the
poplars and the elms, the wilderness Of
honeysuckle will be left undistuybed
and the members of the suburban trust
will settle down far from the madding
crowd.
In order to assure n thoroughly con-
genial community the boys will not let
any one else in on the deal except pos
sibly one or two mutual friends.

The Vote on Governor.

Practically complete returns from
Iowa counties show that the plurality
for Governor Cummins will be some
where around the 10000 mark. With
semi-official pluralities from Chickasaw,
Allamakee and Wayne counties, with
two precincts missing from the total
vote Of Kossuth county and with the
total semi official vote in the other
ninety-five counties, the plurality for
Governor Cummins appears to be 19,S9S.
The two missing precincts in kossuth
county alone will furnish the 102 nec-
essary to carry the plurality above the
10000 mark.
The total vote for Cummins in the
ninety six counties from which practi-
cally complete returns have been re-
ceived is 20S,614 and for Porter, 189, 100.
Chickasaw, Wayne and Allamakee gave
6,097 republican votes in 1903 for Cum
Minis and $40 for Sullivan.
The same vote would swell the total
this year to 214,711 republican and
1874, $40 democratic, or 20,0S1 plurality
for klupamips.

THE OFFICIAL RETURNS
The Official Returns Make No Ma
terial Changes in the Result as.
Announced Fast Week.

The board of Supervisors met Monday
afternoon in regular session to make the
official canvas of the votes cast at the
recent election, and the result is prac-
tically the same as published in THE
REPORTER last week, only a few minor
changes being made. The final returns
give Dye but ID majority over Sankey
for representative, the change being in
Terre Haute, where the figures of the
two candidates were reversed on the
outside of the poll book, and this chang
ed Dyes majority from % to 13. Tharp
for clerk gained Is votes in Franklin
township, making his majority over
Cozad 20. For county superintendent
Long gained 10 in Franklin and Hutchin-
son lost A. making Longs majority AZ.
When the board made the canvas it
was found that the election officials at
Decatur had failed to sign their returns
at all, and it was necessary to have the
judges and clerks come to Leon Tuesday
evening to sign the returns. There is a
question whether this could be done
and it may be that in contest the en-
tire township would be thrown out.
The effect of throwing Decatur out
would be to elect Hutchinson over Long
for superintendent and Hacker over
Covington for member of the board.
The returns show that the normal re-
publican majority on the minor state
officers was about $50. There were 81
socialist votes in the county, 65 prohi-
bition, s peoples and for Hisey, the
wheelbarrow candidate for governor.
The following is the official returns:
