SHELDON in DOUGLAS COUNTY
Republican Nominee for Governor Has
Majority of Two Hundred
and Thirty.

George L. Sheldon carried Douglas county
by an even go majority. according to the
oficial count Of the votes The totals on

show Sheldon received 9,55o votes and
shallenberger 1895.
The cahvassing board protests against in
situations that 1t is to blame for the late
ness In securing the returns. They ascribe
It to incompetent and careless election Off
clals In four or five precincts the re-
turns have been incomplete and It has
been necessary for the board to send out
and get the complete figures In the First
OF the Tenth ward the vote was not re-
turned at all and the board had to open
the voting machine in order to get at the
facts. In Willard precinct the board for
got to include the count on the constitu
tional amendment and It was necessary to
send messenger out TO get the returns
from the duplicate books. In one other
precinct an error was made in recording
the vote and the board had TO go to the
trouble OF having 1t corrected. All this
has taken time and the members Of the
board contend they have done the work
as rapidly as possible The matter of
making returns is very simple, amounting
only TO a transfer Of the figures from the
machines TO the poll books, and even this
mechanical transaction appeared to stump
some Of The election boards.

Concerning Refrigerahors

Put nothing edible directly on the ice
If IT needs must go there see that it is
IN glass or porcelain.
Empty the refrigerator at least weekly,
scrub the whole interior well, then scald
ice chamber and drainplpe with boiling
hot soda water. followed by clear water,
also boiling hot. wipe dry and air for
ten minutes.
Wash the dishes daily. partly for
cleanliness. but more to acquire the
noble habit Of throwing things away
rather than letting them mold This
may sound heretical to careful house
wives, but IS in reality economy of the
first class. since a single moldy bit,
smelling 20 heaven, may easily faint and
ruin shelves full of good stuff.

Bugles are a feature again Of elabOr-
ate gowns They made their reappear-
ance first in the late winter. and a few

evening gowns. They are seen in such
uses In crystal. silver. gold or jet.

ScaIped Veteran Of Plains and SAN
tingO WOrsted by "A SidevaII<-FaIIs

Back for the Soldiers HOme-TeIIs
Interesting story of His Life.

Cherokee Bill lives at the Soldiers
Home now, but he used to be an Indian
fighter in the Eighth Cavalry. and after
his discharge from the regular army en-
listed IN the Rough Riders and fought
under Col Roosevelt in Cuba.
In the course Of his fighting career
Cherokee Biz has accumulated all sorts
OF wounds and features, presented by
the hands and arms Of the enemy, but
last night he added to his collection a
broken arm, won in the peaceful
and sedentary occupation of falling on
the sidewalk.
It was at the Emergency Hospital
where Bill was submitting to having his
broken bone tied up for the night that
he told the sad tale of his life. He was
born on the plains and brought up
among the Cherokees. and so far as he
knows has no other name than the
picturesque appellation he now bears.
Most notable among his wounds is il
bald head. not Of the front row variety,
which is the result of an Indians fond
ness for collecting scalps. The job was
we'll done, and has saved Bill many a hair
cut. This was the original Cherokee
strip.
The arm that Bill broke last night is
tho only one ne has and he is also minus
one leg, though the leg which remains
Is distinguished by seventeen bullet
wounds.
The veteran endured the setting Of MS
broken arm without a whimper, and
started back for the Soldiers Home with
another story to add TO his collection.
