BARTLETTS ELECTED.
Many Republican Victories in Cities
Up the State.

Edward T. Bartlett and Willard Bartlett,
having tie united support of the Republicans
and Democrats, were elected judges of the
Court of Appeals by a plurality Of more than
nine hundred thousand. The total vote for the
Independence League candidates evidently did
not greatly exceed 10000.
Republicans swept all their candidates with
one exception into office in Buffalo, the result
being regarded as a repudiation of Mayor
Adams administration. In Rochester Mr. Al
bridges candidate was elected, but the Demo
Gratis carried the Common Council, Alan C. Fobes
was elected Mayor Of Syracuse for the third
time, but by reduced majority. Elmira re-
turned to the Democratic column as far rs the
mayoralty was concerned. Daniel Sheehan de-
feating Il. K. Brockway, the fusion Mayor Re
publicans elected their city and county tickets
IN Albany For the first time in fourteen years
the Republicans elected Mayor of Utica and
for the first time in seventeen years the Demo
Gratis carried Newburg. The Republicans swept
Ulster County and elected their candidate for
Mayor in Kingston. Despite the protests Of
united clergy the Democrats of Auburn elected
a brewer for Mayor

Heavy Republican losses in Westchester
County marked yesterdays election. Judge
Platt was reelected county judge over his Re
publican opponent. District Attorney Young, by
a greatly reduced plurality The other Re-
publican candidates were elected. but the Board

majority. II. s Dueu was defeated for re-
election to the Assembly by a large margin in
the ID District. Marmaduke Wright winning as
the result OF a Democratic sweep in New
Rochelle. The towns OF Bedford. New Castle
and White Plains voted for local option.
No Republican plurality more than

Duel the Republican candidate for tho Assem-
bly, in the ID district, beaten by nearly five
hundred votes by NJ. B. Wright. This was due
to a Democratic landslide in New Rochelle.
where the Democratic city ticket was elected by
45O votes
The Bartetts obtained a plurality Of from
eight to ten thousand votes in the county. reia-
lively few votes being cast for the independence
League candidates. The Independence League
was weak everywhere, few OF its candidates even
making a good showing.
The greatly reduced Republlcas pluralities In
Westchester County as a whole. came
great surprise TO William L. Ward and the Re-
publican leaders last night The election of
Judge Platt was not unexpected. and it is con-
Republican had plurality OF mora than 1000.
according to the last figures obtalnable. and
this was the more surprising in view of the Re-
publican victory in Yonkers. which has at times
been regarded as Democratic stronghold. New
Rochelle contributed to the Democratic gain
materially, the sweep there being entirely un-
expected.
It was the New Rochelle vote that caused the
defeat of DueH for the Assembly in the ID Dis
trict and the Republicans were congratulating
themselves last night that no more of the As
sembly candidates went down in the storm OF
Democratic gains. The defeat OF Haines In
Yonkers would not have been surprising, as
he vas barely elected last time and was decid-
edly worried about the result this year
Mount Vernon affected the general result very
little as the plurality there for the Republican
candidates was less than 100 This was also
surprising as a considerable Republican gain
had been looked for. Mayor Brush and his
strenuous electioneering in the past have
changed the political complexion OF the middle
city, and Mount Vernon will henceforth be re-
garded as doubtful

The lawyer, who comes of an old
New England family and who was
born in New Hampshire, did not re-
ceive his word from beyond the tomb

Pullman car when suddenly man

Then appeared the dead man,
clothed, looking the picture of health.
The dead man extended his hand, but
the lawyer and his dream companion

lawyer says he found himself with his

BUYING A WAGON

gains.
TRIED MAILORDER METHODS
Thought He Was Saving Money, But
Will Not Try the Same Thing a
Second Time-5uying at
Home Pays.

Copyrighted, 1906, by Alfred c. Clark
Mr.. Brown, a farmer living in
Boone county, Mo-, decided to buy a
spring wagon The next time he was
in town he went to the local dealer
to see what he had in stock. One
wagon that suited him was offered to
him at SIS. He thought he would
take 1t, but before ordering he looked
over mail order vehicle catalogue.
Here he saw described a wagon which,
as far as description went, was the
same as the one he saw in the deal
er's store room. In fact, the descrip-
tion was written in such a convinc-
ing manner and all of the good points
of the mail order vehicle were brought
out so thoroughly that it appeared to
be superior to the other one. And the
price was only SOFAS. Mr.. Brown
thought of the saving of $7.55 which
represented several days of hard work.
The more he thought about it the
more he wanted to save that amount
and in the end the Chicago mail or.
der concern got his check.
When the wagon finally arrived,
with a freight bill of $3.50, he rode to
town with his son and spent haR a
day putting it together. He had to
buy a screw driver and some oil and
sand paper and few bolts to replace
some that had been lost in shipment.

Frugal Frenchmen.

1t is estimated that the peasants
of the south of France spend on food
for a family Of five an average OF
four cents a day. For breakfast there
is bread, with preparation of salt
fish to spread on it; for dinner, stock
fish, or a vegetable soup or salad;
and for supper, lentils, beans, or other
vegetables. Water Is the chief drink,
with a very thin wine once in while.
Rabbit is occasionally used as flavor
in a vegetable stew, but that is lux
ury. Beef or mutton is seldom tasted.
Most Of them dress poorly. But this
economy is not for nothing. Many of
them have banking accounts, and in
the matter of hard cash are well
enough off. .'

Some time ago the court allowed a

Immediately. II 1t is not entertained
the court will have to fix the date Of

This is about half of our regular cost"
This man was selling "A complete out

advertising brought him. Ask your
local dealer how long he could keep
the sheriff away from his doors if he

You can't buy the same class Of
goods any cheaper from the catalogue
houses than from the local dealer,
though one may think he can after
reading the catalogues. The differ
ence comes in the quality of the goods.
There is particular class of goods
known as mail order goods" This
trade term is applied to cheap but
showy goods and novelties which can
be sold at large profit. It means
much the same thing as "street fakir
goods" and, as is the case with street
fakir goods, mail order goods are not
handled by the regular jobbers and
wholesalers. They cannot afford to
handle them because their customers
want better merchandise. The street
fakir duplicates, in appearance, the
iewelry carried by a first class jew.
elry house and makes large profits.
The catalogue merchant does the
same thing but does it on larger
scale and much more cfeverly.
The country store is one Of the
most valuable institutions Of any
community. In the order Of estab.
lishment it is first and in the degree
of social importance it is second only
to the church and the school. In many
communities it is greater even than
these. It is here that the members Of
the community meet and exchange
opinions, ideas and news. 1t is here
that most political questions are
threshed out and decided. 1t is the
center of the community and any
community without a center OF this
sort loses it's first organization with
out which progress is impossible. 1t
Is toward the local store that the
country boy looks as the first STEP
ping stone out of the drudgery of farm
life. Thousands of successful men
have risen through clerkship in a
country store. The country store Is
human. The mail order house Is
bloodless and soulless. The country
store has at heart the interests of the
community. The mail order house has
no interests but it's own. In times OF
depression the country store givea
credit too liberal to Ee prompted by
mere purpose of gain. The mail order
house demands cash with order. As
with our fellow men, we will not real.
ize how valuable the country store
Is until it is taken away.

All of these cost him rs cents. He
was not experienced at putting spring
wagons together and he didn't do a
very good job of it, for one OF the
seats refused to sit in the right place
and he had to get local blacksmith
to help him fix it. This cost him
another half dollar and delayed him
so much that he and the boy had to
go to the hotel for their dinners; an
additional expense of 70 cents. So
before he got his team hitched to the
wagon it cost him $3.50, allowing him
a saving of $1.10, which was very
stingy pay for the time he had lost
Of the amount he spent for the wagon,
only $1.95 remained in Boone county
The railroads and the mall order
house got the, rest of it.
In the meantime his neighbor, Mr..
Jones, bought the SIS wagon from the
local dealer, who made a profit Of
SIG on the sale. AS the vehicle was
already assembled and there were no
extra parts or tools to buy, the amount
paid for the wagon represented all OF
the cost to Mr.. Jones. The dealer
spent the $16 profit for a new sign on
his building; the sign painter hired a
carpenter to repair the roof on his
house; the carpenter paid his bill at
the butchers and the butcher bought
a hog from Mr.. Jones. And so the
$16 kept going in the county until a
farmer with the mail order habit got
hold of it. He sent it to Chicago and
it never came back.
But this wasn't the last of the two
purchases. A few weeks after the
two wagons were bought, Mr.. Browns
how and Mr.. Jones boy, driving the
new vehicles, met on the country road.
They drove too close to each other
and a smash-up resulted. The weak
est part of each wagon gave way; an
axle on the mail order product was
broken and a doubletree on the other
was smashed. Both breaks were plain
lv because of defective construction.
Mr.. Jones took his broken doubletree
IN town the next day and the dealer
gave him a new one. Mr.. Brown at
temnted to explain to the Chicago firm
that the axle would not have broken
If it had not been defective and
coupled this explanation with re-
quest for a new part, but after several
weeks Of correspondence with the
niece as far away as at the begin
ming. he gave it up and bought the
axle himself. This experience told
Mr.. Brown why he should trade with
home merchants instead of patroniz.
ing the mail order houses.
In Boone county and in every other
county there are many who send thou
sands Of dollars out OF the county
every year, without ever considering
the fact that they are making their
community poorer, reducing the per
capita of wealth, and dwarfing local
business, only to enrich q concern al
ready rich enough to buy several
counties. An extra thousand dollars
in any community will mean, during
the year, many thousands Of liars in
business transacted and incI essed in
come for practically every one in the
community. Often the amount sent
to the mail order houses is more than
enough to turn the balance the other
way and business depression exists
where prosperity would prevail under
normal conditions. Even If the coun-
| try purchaser was able to save a snug
sum by ordering his supplies from .
