Lewis Turner, brother of George
Turner, deceased. who with his sis
ter owns 1000 acres OF land In this
vicinity, Is enthusiastic about the
electric road. He says It Just what
Is needed to bring In new people and
settle up the country. He says 1t
can't be built soon enough
DR.. j. w. Ransom says the cleo
trio road will be a great convenience
to him In the practice OF his profes-
sion, and that he would get more
nights OF sleep in the week than he
does now. He wants to see 1t built.
The country about Turner Is going
into dairying very rapidly. and lands
suitable for pasture rent readily
For the first time In some years the
Turner lands are all rented. The

RObs Him of Money Intended for a
Holiday visit.

Raymond Berry, a young man from
Mitchell, Neb., discovered yesterday morn
ing on awakening at the Paxton hotel on
South Main street, that he had been made
a victim Of misplaced confidence. Berry
was on his way to spend the Christmas
holidays with relatives in Lansing, Mich,
but the prospects now are that he will
have to abandon the proposed visit and eat
his Christmas turkey at home.
At Alliance, Berry struck up an acquaint-
ance with an elderly man, named Parker,
and accompanied him to Council Bluffs
Parker was broke and at Berry's invita-
ton spent Friday night at the South Main
street hostelry with him. Parker awoke
first and when Berry arose he discovered
that his elderly friend had left the hotel.
At the some time Berry realized that his
gold watch and chain and $42 in cash were
missing. He couples the disappearance of
his money and watch with the sudden de-
parture of his elderly chance acquaintance.
Parker evidently intended taking Berry $
overcoat also, but for some reason left it
in the hotel lobby after taking 1t from
the young mans room.
Berry at once, on discovering his loss,
notified the police and then crossed the
river to see If he could locate Parker

 St. Petersburg, April 1.-The official canvas of the votes cast at the election on Monday, owing to the unexpectedly heavy vote and the inexperienee of the officials, had not been completed at midnight, but it is conceded that the radical tide has swept to victory every one of the 160 constitutional democratic electors. The constitutional democrats naturally are jubilant, as the sweeping triumph which they have won at the capital, the headquarters of the bu- reaucracy, is bound to have strong effect on the country at large and are now looking forward to working majority in the national parliament.

Petrunke witch of Tvar, who is regarded as one of the most able and vigorous advo- cates of a constitutional government for the empire.
 The Russkoe Gosudarstvo Premiei, Wittes newspaper organ, which admits the victory of the constitutional dem ocrats, attributes it to the vacillation of the conservative faction and the in- temperance of it's organs. The paper also declares that Count Witte will hold on to the premiership until the convo- cation of the parliament and that his resignation then will depend on the at tltude of Emperor Nicholas.
 There Is an intimation that no mat ter what may be the political complex ion of the parliament, nobody who does not possess the fullest confidence of his majesty will be selected as premier.
