The result of the election Tuesday is
a sad tale to relate. One thing, how
ever, to be thankful for, is that old
Bourbon remains in the Democratic
column and that, the Hon. j. Hal
Woodford was reelected to represent
us in the General Assembly, carrying
his county by 144 majority.
The members of the Campaign Com
mittee, Judge Denis DundOn. Hon. Al
Thompson and H. .. James. were u1-
firing in their efforts for the Demo-
cratic ticket but couldn't stem the
tide.
The Republicans were never better
organized in Bourbon, as is shown by
their gains of over 300 in the county
over the vote of 1903 when Beckham
carried the county over Belknap by 446
majority.
The City Council ticket was elected,
there being no opposition. The Rupub-
licans, however, carried the city by 65
majority.
The fight on the School Board cleo
ton seemed to be the most heated one
in the city, and no doubt lost the
Democratic party many votes.
The vote on the school bond issue
was overlooked in several precincts. In
Paris No. 6, the vote stood 80 foT the
issue and 80 against. In No. 5 only l
vote was cast for or against. in No.
no vote was taken on the question.
The general vote on the question re-
suited as follows: For bond issue 446 ;
against, 145.
The latest returns show that Wilson
and his ticket have probably won by
l5.O0O majority.
Republican headquarters IN Louis
vile claim to have complete returns
and their figures show IL, 935.
Returns indicate that the Democrats
will have a majority of at least six
teen on joint ballot. The Senate has
IA follower Democrats and Republi-
cans. Inc Democrats have elected 10
new Senators and the Republicans IL,
and one district is doubtful.
The Democrats have elected at least
SO members of the House and the Re-
publicans AZ, with few scattering
precincts out which will hardly change
the result. The House will be Demo
cratic by 6 majority and if the Republic
cans gain the doubtful Senatorial dis
trict of Bath, Carter, Fleming, Meni-
fee and Rowan, the Joint Session will
contain II Democrats and 81 Republi
cans.
To elect a United States Senator 70
votes are required and the present in
dications are that the Democrats will
have several to spare.
In a total vote of nearly 1000 the
City of Lexington went Democratic by
majorities on all the city ticket rang
ing from 632 for Skain for Mayor to
9l5 for Cassidy for City Clerk. Repre-
sentative w. F. Klair was reelected.
Fayette county outside Of Lexington
went Republican by about 250 MAORI
ty, electing Patrick, ORepubIican, to
the Legislature. Combs for Senator
mas majority of about 500.

Changing Their Tune.

Publishers of Republican newspapers
who have stood pat on the tariff ques-
ton are beginning to shift their posi-
ton, and are opening their eyes to the
fact that the foreigner don't pay tex.
The matter has been brought directly
home to them. 1.-The continued increase
in the price of printing paper has
knocked the scale from their ewes. The
paper trust has got them by their
throats. Only recently the American
Newspaper Publishers Association,
made up largely of Republicans, adopt
ed resolutions demanding the removal
of all tariff duties on all material used
in the manufacture of print paper.
Only few days ago the Illinois Daily
Newspaper Association, also largely
Republican as to membership, met at
Joliet and took even more advanced
position. They adopted a resolution
demanding the prosecution of the Paper
Trust and calling upon Congress to i'm
mediateiy repeal the tariff on print
paper, wood pulp, etc. There must be
no delay. Immediate action is demand
ed. They have changed their tune
LET well enough alone no longer
drops from their pens when the tariff
question hobs up. They have been a
long time in getting correct view of
the situation. Better late than never

Will Taylor Come Back?

Former Governor w. S. Taylor, of
whether or not he will return to Ken
tucy to stand trial in the Goebel con-
spiracy. His friends, however. say he
will go as. soon as the Republican
Governor, A. E. Wilson, is inaugural
ed. He has always insisted that he
would return when assured of fair
trial, which he claimed he could not
get as long as Beckham was Governor.

situation at Butte.

OverprOduction of copper and a tenn
porary lull in demand for the red met
al has caused the Amalgamated Cop
per company to curtail it's output
Orders have been issued by which the
output of the Amalgamated poperties
will be reduced to about 40 per cent of
normal production, form 100000
pounds to about 100000 pounds per
month, and in the future no work will
be done on Sundays
Curtailing the production to 40 per
cent of normal production will mean a
reduction in the working forces that
will throw about 5000 men out of en-
ployment. When the mines will re-
cume a full force is problematical
The almond mine will be closed
and work at the Belmont will be com
pletely suspended. The Gagnon and
Parrot mines are also shut down, John
ellis, general superintendent of the
Amalgamated properties, acting under
managing director John D. Ryan, sta
ted that there would be no general
shutdown at the present time.
For some time" said Mr. ellis, "a
gradual curtailmqnt of the copper pro
duction has been going on. We shall
cease all construction work. The shut
down of the mines will avert fue
famine this winter Reducing the out
put of the Amalgamated properties
will have a far-reaching effect, will
less tonnage to Great Falls and Ana
conda. It will be necessary to shu
down portions of the smelters in thes
cities, thus throwing out of employ
ment 1000 men.

lowed by all other companies operat

Mrs. .Yerkes-AIizner is again Mrs.
Yerkes, having secured decree of d.

Mrs. Yerkes went to New York, built
palace on 9Th avenue and tried to
break into society; Mr.. Yerkes went
to London and captured franchises for
underground tubes, constructed electric
railways and heaped up more millions
and more scandal. He estranged his
wife. who remained in New York and
surrounded herself with a circle of
friends, none of whom was able to
open the, charmed door of social recog-
milton. Her house became the Mecca of
artists and writer's, politicians and rail
way officials, and her entertainments
were lavish. Suddenly her truant hus-
band returned to America to die. A
beautiful ward watched over his last
moments and shared his dying hour
with the rightful spouse. Yerkes left
his ward a palace in New York and a
huge fortune; his wife, life interest
in many millions.
1t was just after Christmas day,
1906. that Yerkes died at a New York
hotel In a little over a month the
tongues were set a-wagging by the an
nouncement of the rich widows sudden
marriage to the young California mine
prospector and gentleman of fortune,
Wilson Miner. The ceremony was Sc
cret, and was not revealed until two
days after4t occurred.
The papers hummed with the affair,
but within a week were obliged to
print the news that the cooling" Mlz-
ner had already begun to ask saucily
for money. Rumors waited out of the
portals of the art palace that Wilson
| demanded cool million-that's all.
| Separation followed and the slx-foot
| bridegroom went back TO the mines.
Mrs. Yerkes- Miner. too, disappeared,
but the directions taken by the es-
tranged couple were not the sams. 1t
