German Government Wins Notable Victory in Yesterdays
Elections. Socialists Who Opposed Colonial Policy
Lose Heavily-Great Rejoicing in Berlin
Associated Press to Bismarck Tribune

Associated Press to Bismarck Tribune
Berlin, Jan. 25.The government has
won a definite victory in the general
election held today for the new reichs-
tag. The liberal, radical and conserva-
tive parties, supporting Prince Won Bue-
lows colonial policy, have won at least
twenty seats, but more to government
than the success of its colonial plans is
the smashing defeat administered the
socialists, who will lose seventeen or
eighteen seats. This is the first election
since 1887 that the socialists have not in
creased their representation in the
3reiehstag by from FIVE to twenty seats.
They have lost especially in several
large cities, among these places being
Breslau, Halle, Magdenburg, Leipzig and
Koenigsburg. The clerical center holds
almost all Of its former one hundred
seats, having lost one or two to Poles
in Silesia, There is a possibility. how
ever, that reballoting in undecided dis:
tricts may lose one or two more seats
to the center party
The conservatives have won six seats,
two from anti-Semites, two from nation
al liberals, and two from socialists. Re
balloting probably will be necessary in
us constituencies 50 that complete re-
turns will not be in before Feb 5. Ger
tain districts in Upper Bavaria that are
snowbound have not yet been heard

the center party.

began to move his house the latter part
of last week on account of the encroach-

not been unusually high, since the
course of the stream changed last year,
the bank has been gradually giving way
and this spring with the advent of high
waters it crumbled very rapidly until
his back door and the Gunnison river

Big Crowd Goes to Ouray.

About $50 people took advantage Of
the special train and low rates
last Sunday and spent day in
the mountains, 1863 tickets being sold at
Delta, Al at Paonia and 60 at Hotchkiss
while a few more were added at Read,
Austin, Olathe and Montrose.
Many people took well filled lunch
baskets along enjoying their meals in
the shady resorts which abound near
Ouray Box canon, Bridalveil and
Bear Greek falls. In the afternoon a
ball game was played between Ouray
and Delta resulting in score of II to
IA in favor of Ouray. The game was a
very poor one and as spectators say,
more poorly umpired. The Ouray boys
were dissatisfied with the Delta UNI
pire, who they claimed did not under
stand the game. Rather than have
hard feelings with their nei ghbor, they
permitted Ouray to select man from
their own side-learning after the game
was over that the umpire had previous
ly bet S25 on the Ouray team. Our
boys stood the rank decision until the
9TH inning when they called halt and
said they would have another umpire
or quit the grounds, whereupon the
Captain of the Ohray team took up the
task and filled the place in an impartial
manner, the retiring umpire taking lst
base and playing with the Ouray club
the remainder of the game. According
to spectators, both teams did poor
playing.
The excursionists enjoyed the trip.
and those who spent the time picnicing
and tramping the hills report a most
delightful trip. The train reached home
the same evening at II 80.

where they were introduced to many
of our citizens. Mr.. Guggenheim
stated that his trip throughout the
state was being limited to the agricult-
ural and fruit sections in order to as
certain the needs of the people so that
he could serve them more intelligently.
He thinks the Western Slope counties
are making wonderful progress in de-
velopment but says there is much yet
to be done and feels sure that Delta
will soon attract sufficient capital for
the erection of a sugar factory and ex-
pressed a willingness to aid in any way
possible to accomplish such an enter
prise here.
He said he would take up the matter
with the proper authorities this coming
session and see if something could not
be done toward erecting more suita-
bic post Office building for Delta.
The Senator seemed pleased to think
so many of our people, irrespective of
political parties, made an effort to make
his stay pleasant. They left here by

week only about / 200 were natives and
trade was quiet. The demand was much
better than supply and prices on good
beef steers and cows closed fully a
quarter higher, with medium kinds up
10 to l5c. Bulk of pretty good steers
offered sold st 500 to $40 but choice
ones would have brought more money
had they been here. Very few cows
were offered and with exception of a
few punches quality not very good A
bunch of fancy corn feds from western
Nebraska brought S5.25. highest price
paid here in years. Other good cows
sold around si.09 to si.70. A bunch of
light steers and heifers mostly the
latter sold at S5.45. All kinds of beef
cattle are needed here and shippers will
make no mistake in sending their stuff
this way. Prices paid here are rela
lively higher than at eastern points.
Bulls were weak to lower owing to
eastern declines and veals closed about
steady. There were very few feeders
and stockers on hand and no change in
conditions from a week ago. Buyers
have plenty of orders for good steers
but are unable to fill them. Receipts
today 2,40o head, mostly southerns.

Hog supply was heavy last week, to-
tai receipts 1000 head. Demand was
fair but not urgent owing to the heavy
supply. Local packers were very good
buyers however. and demand was good
for shipment to western coast points
and all found market. Prices are
about the same AS week ago, tops
selling at $5.95.
A feature of the sheep market last
week was the arrival of the first grass
ers from Idaho. They sold readily,
wethers bringing ss.25 and yearlings
So rs, prices relatively higher than
eastern quotations. The demand for
sheep and lambs is good and market
conditions about the same rs week
ago.
