The Election.


The result of the election locally Is
a Waterloo defeat for the republicans.
This outcome was not altogether sur
prlsing under the circumstances.
The republicans put up an exception
ally good ticket, and it was not on
the score of personal unpopularlty
or demerit that the ticket went down
in defeat. Dissatisfaction was wide
spread in the party ranks, owing to
the manipulation of the party
machinery for personal ends, as
manifested at Santa Cruz and the
preliminary management to ensure
the nomination of Gillett. Two years
ago Roosevelt carried AmadoI county
by 1854. This week Bell, the demo-
cratic standardbearer, swept it by 292
over GiIlett. The disaster would
have been still more overwhelming
had it not been for the DETECTION of
many votes for LIangdon, which
would have gone to Bell3 in clear
cut issue. This slump on the head
of the ticket cost the republicans
many a vote for local candidates,
and was no doubt instrumental on
the defeat of two or three who lost In
a slender margin. All the republi-
cans saved from the wreck Is Green
halgh for shoot superintendent, and
Ii. K. Potter, coroner and public ad-
mlnistrator.
Marchant, hitherto invincible, was
defeated by the intrusion of MILFORD
Dennis, as an independent candidate.
We lose the sheriff's and assessors
offices, and gain school superlntend'
emit and coroner.
In the state, GIllett is doubtless
elected by a small marign. His sue
cess is entirely due to the candidacy
of Langdon, who drew enough votes
from Bell to defeat him. RepubIi
cans elected a solid congressional de-
legation, and also majority in bott
branches of the state legislature.
Caminetti, (dem) defeats McKennJ
for state senator by a heavy vote,
carrying every county in the district
except Alpine. Snyder for assembly
man, defeats Matson by gooo
majority.

Resin.

The resin of the shoemaker and f1d-
dler is obtained from different species
Of the fir tree-as the Scots fir, the
larch and the balsam fir of Canada. 1t
is well known that resinous juice
exudes from these trees, which hardens
into solid tears. The clear juice itself,
before it has dried up by coming to the
surface, is known in commerce as tur-
pentine and Is in the main composed Of
oil of turpentine and resin. When the
juice is distilled, the oil comes over,
and the resin remains behind. When
the disillation is carried on to dryness,
common resin is formed, but when
water is mixed with it while yet fluid
the resulting mass is the variety called
yellow resin, which is more preferred
for most purposes because 1t is more
ductile than the former, owing prob
ably to its containing some oil.

Graves and Gravediggeru.

'Gravedigging is not a gay bust
ness" said a gravedigger, "but 1t is a
very old one, and many curious super
stitions surround it. One of these is
never to buy a new spade. To dig
grave with a spade that is new is sup
posed to bring death in the family with
in q twelvemonth. Hence gravedig-
gers buy their spades second hand as a
rule. Another superstition with some
Is that a grave should never stand
open overnight. 1t should not, they say,
be dug till the day of the funeral. If it
is made the day before, beware. There
is a third superstition that If a cock
crows once while grave is being dug
one friend of the digger will die; if ii
crows twice, two will die; if thrice.

History of the Typewriter.

"The history of the typewriter is in
teresting," said an inventor 1.-THE first
patented machine was Henry Mills.
1t was as big as bureau and made no
popular appeal. This was in England
in 1714. The first type bar machine
was made in America. Its inventor
was A. II. Beach. The patent was
taken out in 1856. The Beach type
writer was not practical. The first
practical typewriter was invented by
Latham Sholes in 1867. Sholes had for
partners S. w. Soule and Carlos Gid
den, but these two men became dis
couraged and dropped out. 1t wasn't
till some years later that Sholes got his
machine ready for the market Then
he took it to big firm Of gunmakers,
the Remingtons, and it at once began
to sell on a large scale. Sholes re-
NAMED in the employ of the Reming-
tons up to the time of his DEATH"

in demand, of course, and they necessitated
a call at the neat little post Office next the
w. G. Sargent Co. store, where the genial
postmaster, A. II. Sargent, did thriving
business in one cent stamps.
The place was charming enough to
warrant longer stay, and our party was
enjoying a walk up the pretty street, past
prosperous looking farm houses and the
neat little library, when glance at their
watches reminded tn m that it was fast
nearing o'clock, the time set for the de-
parture of the boat. AS we neared the

to all the Stragglers, and soon, with pasoen-
ger list complete, the Castine headed back

was heard to ask her mother how much

really rough. Though visits to the water
barrel were somewhat perilous, and the
timid thought longingly OF terra frma, no
one suffered any serious Inconvenience.

the Castine headed directly across the bay
for Stockton Harder, where the party was
delighted by an excellent view of the enor-
