In the hardest fought municipal
election in years, with the biggest
vote ever polled in the city, the Dem
ocrats elected John O. Mitchell foI
mayor, over DR.. j. f. Ayars, the Re
publican nominee, by 63 majority.
The Democrats elected the city at
torney, recorder, city marshal. The
Republicans elected city treasurer, as
SCISSOR and tax collector. The council
is evenly divided, four being Repub-
Iican and four Democratic. The mach
inery is in the hands of the Democrat
&c party.
The biggest vote ever recorded in
the history of the city was polled.
LAO votes were cast, this being an
increase over last year of 67S, the
total vote cast last year being $40.
Candidate Ayars failed to develop
the expected strength, but made a
good race. "Mayor" Mitchell prov
ed a splendid runner, and in reality
is responsible for the greater part
Of the victory Of the ticket, dragging
several candidates out Of the mire
Of defeat. Mr.. Mitchell is to be con-
graduated upon his victory.
The splendid race of Il. A. Trees
for treasurer, L. L. Essley for asses
sor and Henry Price for tax collec-
tor, all landing in the winning column,
is the source of much qualification to
their friends, and recognition Of
deserving men.
T.. l.. Louderback make great race
for the Office of recorder, and it will
take a careful canvass of the board to
determine the final result.
City Attorney Rice was "knifed"
numerically by the gambling element,
and this in the face Of the charge that
the Republican administ,ai ion had
favored the gambling element. The
falsity of the charge is evident on its
face.
The election is over and the vic
tors are jubilant Everybody on the
defeated side has an excuse for the
accident. Some say that the pretend
ed reputation Of the tough element
by the Democrats and the formers
consequent boast that they would vote
the Republican ticket, while in reality
knitting the ticket, was the cause,
while others say it was because the
defeated party did not use money
to accomplish their ends.
The World has been willing to con-
fess ever since the nominations thai
both tickets were made up Of good
mon. Seven of these are Republican,
four of the seven aldermen, and being
two less than in the last council, they
can scarcely be subjected to the abuse
which was heaped upon the six out
going members-in this there is some
satisfaction.
So far as the World knows, or has

The river has never been known

while no one anticipates any damage,
it is perfectly possible that it may
overflow slightly this time, especially
if the rains continue.

Facts Against the Pessimist.

Statistics show that the expectation
of human life has been raised consld-
erably in the past fifty years. That
people live longer now than they did
half a century ago and that the ten
dency is toward still greater longevity
is undoubtedly a testimonial in sup.
port of the freer and broader life lived
by the modern girl. Our grandmoth.
ers and great grandmothers were
dear, sweet, delightful creatures in
their way, to whom all honor is due,
but they would not compare in attain
ments for motherhood with the girls
who are growing up in greater free
dom to take their places in the world.
Pessimists may frown and growl, but
the fact remains that the world is in
its best age and that humanity is not

UNLleHTED CIGAR WHOLE,

Rubber Bands,

unlighted cigar, bandaged tightly with
a series OF rubber bands. Wrapped In

of my own invention. l was a cigar
fiend for several years, but l have
now broken off the habit-haven't
smoked n for several years. l am
now trying to break myself of the
chewing habit. This cigar, you see,
gives me a dry smoke and an imita-
ton chew at the same time. If some

Der bands keep it from falling to

CANAL CAUSED MANY CHANGES
Effect on Business World of the Suez
Waterway.

"The effect of opening the Suez
CANAL writes William r. Stewart in
the Technical World Magazine, was
so marked in the first confusion which
1t introduced into the business world
that 1t constituted one of the prime
causes of the universal commercial
and industrial panic of 1873. BY trans.
ferring the distributing points for
trade from England to the Mediter-
ranean ports Of southern Europe it
terminated the vast warehouse dis
tribution system of the former coun-
try and led to the disappearance of
the class of merchant princes who
hitherto had monopolized the eastern
traf1c.
"As 1t was with the owners of Eng
fish warehouses, so it was with the
owners OF hundreds of sailing vessels
and the dealers in six months bills.
For the Suez canal by bringing steam
ers into use in place of the sailing
vessels which had been making the
5,000-mile longer voyage around the
cape. enabled a cargo to be sold and
delivered within a month after the
order had been sent and business men
without capital were able to borrow
money at a low rate and supplant the
told established houses in the eastern
trade"

As to Clippings.

Some wise men go about with dim
tnutive scissors in their vest pockets.
Such may be used for ripping cloth
when a customer wants a yard or two,
or for clipping good things out Of the
newspapers. "Old Hickory wants
everybody to know that a clipping
can be cut from a paper much better
with the point of a commo pin than
with anything else. I believe him.
For many years he has carried in his
w%aistcoat pocket a large bank pin.
Some men use the point of a knife
blade, but not one man in 100 car
r1es a sharp knife. The pins the
thing. Ask your banker for one
about 2R inches long. Just scratch
the paper with it and the clipping will

Vegetable Animals of Great Beaut,

The car jelly fish, an habitue of
the northern shores of Europe, has
four lips, veined and curled like fern
fronds, surrounding the yelled mouth.
The root mouth jelly fish is so called
because, instead Of n central mouth,
it has a host of little mouths placed
at the end of it's eight large lips. This
often swims in immense shoals,
cleaning blue, pink, or yellow on the
sunlit sea surfaces. Piazzi Smyth, an
astronomer, one sailed through a
shoal forty miles broad near the Ca
nary islands. He estimated that the
superficial layer alone had a popula-
ton of 225, 000, 900. At night they
