Were Defeated.

While the defeat of Congressman
Babcock and F. x. Boden have
made the LaFollette me very en-
thusiastic, it now developes that
two other republicans who were
openly opposed by Senator LaFol-
lette have goue down to defeat, and
their democratic opponents elected,
though the districts are normally
republican,
1t will be remembered that dur
ing the campaign, Senator LaFol-
lette Went into the district of Sena-
tor Beach. who was candidate for
reelection to the state senate, and
vigorously opposed him, asking all
fair minded citizens to vote for Ha-
zelwood his democratic opponent.
Senator LaFollette attacked Beach
because he voted against the pri-
mary law the anti-rebate law, and
the railroad commission. On the
record that Beach had made, he urg-
ed every citizen to vote for the de-
mocrat opposing him. Barch's dis
trict comprises Walworth and JEFF
ferson counties, and while Davidson
carried the two counties by a large
majority, Beach was defeated.
Senator Lafollette also openly
denounced and opposed Senator
Foley because of his record in the
legislature, and asked for the cleo
ton of the democrat opposing him.
Foley went down to defeat with
Boden, Babcock and Beach SO that
altogether LaFollette and his ad-
herents have good cause to be Joy
full from the election results.

X A. Herring Tenders His Resiqna-
tiOn
Accepted by the City Council
at it's Meeting Monday
Evening.

At meeting of the city council
held on Thursday evening of last
week, Mayor Sweet filed a numb n
of charges against the City clerk.
and the clerk was ordered suspended
pending an Investigation The hear
ing was set for Monday evening.
Clerk Herring appeared by his attor-
ney W. F. Shea of Ashland and ag.
reed to resign his position provided
charges number one and two were
withdrawn. These charges referred
to alleged grating bv the city clerk,
and it was contended that the coun-
ell had no jurisdiction in the matter.
He admitted misconduct in office,
neglect of duty, etc. and offered to
resign. The mayor consented to
withdraw the Objectionable charges
and the resignation of the clerk was
placed in the hands of the council
and accepted. This will undoubted-
ly close the affair. The position
taken by the council and mayor was
undoubtedly the ouly positi on that
could be taken under the circum-
stances. W. A. Robinson was ap-
pointed temporary clerk and will
serve until the council shall make
regular appointment, which will I'M
doubtedly be done soon.

Ut the Official, Election on the 9th
OF this Month.
Result a Surprise in Many
Ways. Light Vote of
Both Old Parties.

The result of the election held
one week ago last Tuesday was
surprise to many. The figures
which are given by the county
board of canvass are given here
with. In the first place less
than one half of the vote was
polled in the county, that is if
the voters have not moved out of
the county during the past two
years. The highest vote receiv-
ed by any candidate on the Re-
publican ticket, state or county
was received by E. G. Alvord,
candidate for District ATTORNEY.
He had no opposition and got
1894 votes. The smallest num-
Der of votes was received by
George Beedle candidate for In
surance Commissioner on the
republican ticket. He received
1900.
On the Democratic ticket the
candidate for Governor got 159
votes which was the largest
number polled by any democrat
on the ticket. John Fiege cam
didate for county treasurer got
1874 votes. being the largest vote
received by any social democra.

While it is to be regretted that
the republican vote was not lar.
ger as compared with other
years, yet the democratic party
has still greater cause for regret
as about one fourth of the nor
NAL vote was cast. The social
democratic party cast tho largest
vote in the history of the county
and far exceeded all expectations
Ed Bryan one of the most pro-
minent social democrats in the
county and who was a candidate
for register Of deeds, made a
claim that the party memter
ship had increased 100 per cent
during the past two years, It
will be found however that the
vote Of the party has increased
nearly three hundred per cent
On the head of the ticket and
nearly five hundred per cent on
candidates.

RUSSIAN HEROES
STOPPED DYNAMITE TRAIN AND
PREVENTED DISASTER.
REvOLUTIONISTS ARE ACTIVE
Premier Witte Will Not Relax Order
Against Political Neutrality-suspicious.
Revolution in Trans-Caucasia -
Tiflis Plundered.

st. Petersburg.-Pre Witte on
Wednesday made an interesting state
ment to a. delegation headed bv the
mayor of this city which reouested
the relaxation Of the orders of the pre-
feet of police against meetings in the
interest of the electoral campaign. The
premier could not promise to do any
thing until after January 22d.
Recounting remarkable Incident
that heretofore had escaped notice, the
premier said:
''At one time all the stations except
the Nicholas depot were in the hands
of the revolutionists. The latter in
desperation started a train hauling two
cars loaded with dynamite at full
speed for the station, with the inten-
ton of blowing it up.
"A frightful disaster was averted by
a timely warning of the plot, which en-
abled the authorities to have a military
train with steam up ready on a paral-
lei track. AS the dynamite train ar
rived soldiers from the military train
running alongside fired at the end and
managed to pierce the boiler of the To-
comotive, stopping the train before it
reached its destination"
In st. Petersburg, the premier fur
ther remarked, enough dynamite had
been captured to destroy the entire
city.
1t is rumored that the revolutionists
are keeping list of land owners who
have fled or are fleeing abroad, with
the intention, if the revolution is sue
cessful, of confiscating their estates.
The news from Trans-Caucasia is
that a complete revolution prevails in
N 40
is withdrawing all the troops attain
able north of Vladikavkaz for service
in the revolutionary territory.
An additional guard of 500 men has
been stationed on the Finnish frontier
to prevent the importation of arms into
Russia.
The Ruskoe Slovo prints a telegram
from AleXandrovsk, South Russia, say
ing that the railroad station at Sebas-
topol, which was in the hands of the
revolutionists, has been the scene of
desperate fighting between them and
the Cossacaks.
The station finally was cleared, with
the loss of 300 men.
The plundering of Tiflis continues
Last night bombs We're thrown at a
military patrol, whereupon the house
from which the bombs were hurled

that many persons were killed or

A squaron of dragons which was
ambushed near Hazenpol, losing two
men killed and four wounded, received
reinforcements later and surrounded
the revolutionists. No quarter was
given and the revolutionists, number
ing eighty-nine in all, were killed to
the last man.

that are used on piazzas to protect
one from the sun and have the room
covered in these with strips of bam-
boo portioning off three-foot spaces
and covering the seams; strip of
bamboo is also run at the top, close
to the cove of the ceiling, and an
other finishes the mating at the bot
tom. High bookcases painted dee?

furnishing. Very coarse mesh cur
tains are dyed a golden brown, and

shapes is placed on top of the book

ums are the one touch of vivid color
in the room. On the table are the
latest magazines and periodicals. The
little room can thus be used as a rest
