and Rhode Island. They are called surprise" states because they have at one time or another been subject to violent fluctuations in state elections or because of known conditions exist ing in them at the present time. Taking for instance, Ohio, the Herald points out that a state which one year gave Roosevelt 225,OOO majority and then the next year defeated Herrick, the republican candidate for governor 52. 900, will bear watching. The feud which exists there, the Herald finds makes the situation still more interest ing.
 As to the rest of the surprise states, it seems to be the opinion of the Herald that the republicans will the best of them. Among the doubtful states. the Herald rather inclines to democratic chances in Indiana for several reasons, the principal among them being the late state administration and the pres ent weak republican ticket New York is regarded as the pivotal state. No opinion is expressed. nor can any be inferred from the Herald's two columns of reasons why it should swing one way or the other. Eighty-five con gressional districts are regarded as close. twelve of them being in ohio, twelve in Missouri eight in Indiana and seven in Illinois.

 Mrs Topperwein shooting at 100 clay targets thrown from the regula- tion trap scored 90. The trap had not been used in a couple of years and worked very poorly breaking many targets and causing some de- lay Mrs. Topperwein was pronounce ed the best shot that had been seen in this city.

Effects Upon the Farmer.

1t is easy to see that the benefits
derived from the electric road are
greater to the farmer than to any
other class. Transportation facilities
increases the value of his land re-
markably. Statistics gathered of the
different interurban railway concerns
since 1890 have shown that the inter
urban railways have advanced the prize
es of real estate adjacent to the lines
in the territories through which they
are built all the way from ten to two
hundred per cent, the higher per cent,
of course, is applicable to the real es-
tate near large centers of population.
A writer speaking of the situation
in Ohio says, 'Endeavor to buy farm
land improved or unimproved along
the railways and you invariably
find an increase of from 10 per
cent to so per cent in value of
lands in the country remote from in
terurban,' and the same conditions
apply to Indiana, Illinois and Iowa.
The same writer says, "The interur-
ban has been found to, completely
transform the. habits of the residents
of a community; it brings the farmers
to the popular centers, it creates
new market for his product, he adapts
himself to the new conditions and
if he is wide-awake and business-like
he finds a market for his own products.

by express or otherwise into the hands

The ideal situation for a farmer
would be with an electric road run
ming by his farm "A side track at his
door where his grain or live stock
could be loaded and shipped to market
