Boston, Mass. Dec. 10-In the clos

Boston has known for many years the
city went repub lican today by about
1000 votes. Postmaster George AZ.

OF the leading parties to the other, 1t
did not. however, come anywhere
near the strength expected by those
who based their estimates on the vote
in the recent state campaign, when
the independe league polled vote
larger than the democratic party.
Coulthurst, who was formerly sec
rotary Of the demo ratics state com.
mittee, is popular among the younger
democracy and 1t was from this source
that he drew much Of his strength
and contributed to the defeat Of Fitz

GRIM DEATH
AND WEDDING
Are InterIinked When Couple Marry
Before Dying Father of Groom
Who Summoned Them TO Him.

Marriage and death. wedding table
and tomb, these things are not often
to be found so closely together as
they were at ierington last week.
Henry McGowan was on a visit to
his sick father, T. Il. MCGOWAN, at
his ranch in Mason valley a lso Wis
iting the ranch WAS Susie MCGOWAN,
of San Francisco, whom Henry had

of the law and real estate firm of
Pringle B'others, and to whom he
had become engaged.
A telegram was received from the
firm requesting young MCGOWAN S
immediate return to San Francisco,
and the father suggested that the
marriage ceremony be performed at
once.
The wedding took place in !he
sick room, the fast falling man look
ing on with anxious approval and
giving his blessing to the young cou-
pie at its conclusion.
When the wedding breakfast was
served the father unable to sit at the
table, had his bed moved and him
self propped up in such manner
that he could look through the door
upon the family.
The young couple left that morn
ing for San Francisco, and two days
later, r. r. MCGOWAN was a dead
man.

FEW FIRES
IN DISTRICT
Year Has Been Good One From
Insurance Company's Point of
VieW...FeW Losses.

Throughout the entire year of 1907
Ely and the surrounding district have
been particularly lucky in escaping
anything like a destructive blaze
The entire damage during the yeai
would not reach high figure, while
the number of even small blazes
when compared to the hazards of the
architecture prevailing in the section
before a rebuilding boom struck it
is astonishingly low.
1.-The number of fires in the dis
trict during the year has been very
small, indeed" sand Mr.. Herrick oi
the firm of Herrick e KERN, yester'
day. 'There have been number OF
small blazes from various causes
which looked as if they might become
large in size, but in each of them luck
and prompt work of the local fire
men have put them out before much
damage was done.
THE worst fire of the entire year
was that in which the Custer assay
office was damaged to the eA,ent oj
about $4,000, Wade IL co. about 5000
and the Burnett & Walden news
stand about $500 This was caused
by defective gasoline burner.
"a fire in the rooms over Ludke' S
store caused damage to the extent
of about $25 a short time since. This
has been the average of loss among
the small blazes during the Z
months now nearly over.
"The town has been especially
lucky in not having a larger number
of fires but the fact that they have
not come does not lower the hazard
of insurance companies. This is be-
ing gradually done by the better class
of construction which is coming about
in the district and the excellent fire
department"

About Contents of Package He

Puzzled, perplexed and worn to a
frazzle trying to solve the difficult
question, the friends of G. c. Hunter,
the popular Wells Fargo express en-
ploye, are turning to him their cor
rugated brows in an effort to get
him to tell them the contents of a

actions at the time We're enough to
arouse extreme curiosity.
The package was received by him
from the postofIice and carried tri-
umphantly to the express office to be
opened He cut the string in front
of his admiring associates and started
to pull the top off the box. He finally
got it off partially and reading a por-
ton of the note lying on top of the
contents his manner changed. He
rushed out of the room and returned
a few moments later minus the pack
age but with scared expression.
Nothing could make him tell what
was in it and the mystery bids fair TO

Ely Close Second.
MONEY RATE FALLS
While Copper and Silver Show Sub
stantial Rises--Imbues Conf.
dence Locally In Outlook.

With the close of the New York
market for the week better tone
was evident than during many DAYS
past and the week taken altogether
is one of encouragement for holders
OF local coppers. Eastern investors
have evidently begun a slight bull
movement for all along the line a
rise, in some cases fractional while
in others substantial, was evident.
Cumberland Ely made substantial
gain, being quoted at 6 3s, rise of
nearly point over the list price of
Friday. The banner stock, however,
was Nevada Consolidated, which
gained remarkably considering mar
ket conditions, putting on Il total of
point and an eighth during the day.
This would seem to indicate heavy
buying among those who are aware
of the unparalleled bargain offered
by this security at the price.
Copper again showed fractional
rise, being quoted at 13 "A while sill
yer is again looking up with a list
price of % V. The feature of great
encouragement is the drop in price
of money from Is to | ; per cent.
Call loans have run the gamut of
prices during the week. From high
20 per cent on Thursday to Is per
cent on Saturday shows a better tone
and greater confidence.
Locally it is confidently expected
that the showing of the local stocks
will be bettered considerably this
week. Although the calling in OF
money for the first of the year may
cause a temporary depression, it is
also confidently expected that the
prices of stocks on the Ely exchange
will show much stronger when the
concern again opens after the first
with Secretary Binford in his place.
Altogether it has been Il long time
since such Il feeling of general en-
couragement has been felt over the
situation and many people are pre-
dieting that the clearing of the tinan-.
cial sky is near at hand.
The New York stock quotations as
received from the Bank of Ely is as
follows.

of death in the district during the

free from anything of the kind.

JOHN BULL LIKES TEDDY.
His Imperialism Touches the Heart of
the Thunderer.

LONDON, Dec. 2S.-The Times in
an editorial this morning rejoices at
the improved prospects of peace in
Central America resulting from the
recent congress held at Washington
which it regards as a great triumph
for President Roosevelt's diplomacy.
The Times adds that it is an instance
of the best uses TO which English i'm
perialism may be put, and that it is
just because America is becoming an
imperial power and awakening to the
responsibility implied in this that she
has been able and willing to under
take this task of pacification.
