ELECTION RESULTS IN MAINE.
WIN BY REDUCED
PLURALlTIEs.
Result Laid to Law Providing for En-
forcement of Prohibition in
State.

Portland, Me-, Sept. 12.-With so
towns and plantations missing out of
$40 in the state, unofficial returns
show that Gov. William 7. Cobb re-
ceived plurality of 1866 in Mondays
election. The vote of the 470 towns
heard from give Cobb, Republican,
67,548; Davis, Democrat, 60,182. Most
OF the missing localities are accessible
only by canoe or stage and may not
be heard from for two or three days.
If Gov. Cobb holds close to the Repub-
hcan vote of four years ago in the
missing towns, his plurality will ap-
proximate 5000, but this will be the
smallest plurality received by any
governor since 1884.
In the second congressional district
ia out of 123 towns gave Charles Lit
tlefeld 1885 against 17,201 votes cast
for Daniel ]. McGillicuddy, Democrat.
The Republican plurality shows a net
loss of 4,152 as compared with the
vote of four years ago. In nearly all
of the 16 counties the Democrats
elected at least portion of the local
tickets, and in some they made clean
sweep. 1t is believed that many re-
counts may be necessary on account
of the closeness of the vote.
Both Gov. Cobb and Congressman
Littlefield are of the opinion that the
Sturgis law, providing for the enforce
ment of the existing prohibitory law
by state liquor deputies, was the lead
ing factor in the result. The Demo
Gratis made resubmission of the liquor
prohibitory amendment to the people
a part of their platform, while the
Republicans stood squarely for in
dorsement of the prohibitory plan and
it's strict enforcement. The result
was especially evident in the cities,
the Democrats carrying all of the 81
municipalities of the state with the
exception of four of the smaller ones.

has never gained any noticeable fol-
lowing, more than Offset the Demo.

THREE MEN ELEcTRocurED.
Men Killed by Touching Wire Fence
Charged with Electricity.

Rushville. Ind. Sept. 12.-Three
men were killed Tuesday by coming
lip contact with a barbed wire fence
that had been charged with electricity
from the plant of the indianapolis &,
Cincinnati Traction company. The
dead:
Oliver Glore, aged IS; William Pet.
tiford (colored), aged As; Reuben
Boltright (colored), aged 4s.
The accident occurred near the
power house of the traction company
Pettiford and Boltright were walking
along a railroad track to a gravel pit
at which they had been working.
Boltright started across lots through
a barhed wire fence ahead of Petit.
ford. AS he touched the wire he
screamed and hung helpless Petit
ford received shock in trying to
rescue him, and came in contact with
the wire. Before the CURRENT could be
shut of his body was badly burned
and both men were dead.
James Glore was in the crowd that
gathered about the two bodies. He
recalled the fact that his brother. in
going to his work, used a path near
the fence. Investigation found the
body Of Oliver Glore hanging to the
fence 900 yards away. A bolt of
lightning had burned an insulator.
which allowed guy wire leading to
the fence to become charged.

Weather.Crop Bulletin.

Des Moines, Iowa, Sept. 10, 1906
Abnormally high temperatures were
registered at all stations during the
latter part of the week ending on the
morning of the 10th. At the central
station the average daily excess was
6.3 degrees, which was about the aver
age excess in the central and western
districts. Light local showers were re-
ported at Grinnell, Dubuque and Keo-
sauqua, but in the larger part of the
state the week was practically rainless.
The corn crop has made very rapid
advancement toward maturity, and re-
ports indicate that more than half the
crop is now in fit condition to be cut
and put in shock or silo. This work is
now in progress on the best class of
farms, where the fodder is utilized.
With continuance of these favorable
conditions the bulk of the corn crop
will be practically safe by the 18th;
though as rule in this latitude it is
Away desirable to have frostless
September to bring to maturity the be-
lated cornfields in all parts of the state.
In the northern section the soil is suf-
ficiently moist, but in the central and
southern sections copious showers are
needed to facilitate fall blowing and re-
vive the pastures. Reports are quite
variable as to the probable yield OF the
potato crop, on account of local differ
ences in the amount OF rainfall in the
critical stage of growth.

touched on government ownership Of
railroads for the first time since his
address in Madison Square garden.
If there is any sentiment in the

ownership of railroads, it is because
the railroads have created the notion
that they own the government" he
said. "Just in proportion as the rail-
roads regard the rights of the PEG.
pie, just in that proportion will we
get along well together.
"The railroad is the servant of the
people. When it seeks to become
the master Of the people it usurps
a place not rightfully belonging to it."
