Close Call in Indiana.

Indianapolis, Nov. Sired A. Sims,
acting Republican chairman OF the
state committee, late tonight claims
the election of the Republican state
ticket, with the exception of governor
and attorney general, by small plural
tiles. His estimate is based on ninety
of the ninety-two counties. both Off
cial and unofficial returns.
The Democratic committee still
claims that their entire state ticket is
elected. The official vote will be prob
ably required to determine the sue
cessfui candidates. The secretary Of
state is compiling the official figures,
but has completed only one-fifth OF
the counties. That William II. Taft
has carried the state on the national
ticket and Thomas r. Marshall, Demo
cratic candidate for governor, has
been elected, is conceded on both
sides.

Result In Wyoming.

Denver.-A Republican special from
Cheyenne Wednesday night says: Taft
and Mondell carried Wyoming. but by
reduced majorities. The Democratic
vote was the heaviest polled in the
state In many years. and came as n
surprise to Democrats as well as Re-
publicans. Full returns will not be In
for at least two days. but basing an
estimate upon what has already been
learned, Taft carried Wyoming by
from 5000 to $500, and Mondell, Re-
publican candidate for Congress. was
reelected over White. Democratic, by
a plurality Of not less than 1000. The
Democrats were successful in electing
number OF state senators and repre-
sentatives. and the party will probably
have not less than 20 on joint ballot,
which is Is more than they have had
for many years.

PUZZLE SOLVED.
Coffee at Bottom Of Trouble.

It takes some people long time to
nnd out that coffee is hurting them.
But when once the fact is clear,
most people try to keep away from
the thing which is followed by ever
increasing detriment to the heart,
stomach and nerves.
Until two years ago was heavy
coffee drinker," writes an Ill. stock
man, 'and had been all my life. l am

About three years ago I began to
have nervous spells and could not

one doctor told me l had chronic ca
tarrh of the stomach; another that

until I was nearly starved but l
seemed to get worse instead OF better.
Having heard Of the good Postum

OCTOBER BANNER MONTH OF

AND QUALITY OF ORE.
RICH MINERAL SHIPPED
BIG COMPANIES DECLARE HEAVY
DIVIDENDS AND LESSEES
SHOW LARkE PROFITS.

Cripple Creek-October goes on
record with mining men as the banner
month of the present year, as not only
does the output of gold ore from the
Cripple Creek district show a greater
valuation than that Of any thirty-one
days of 1908. but dividends of mining
companies go away up into the thou
sands.
With storms handicapping ore haul
ers during three days of October, the
months outplt is 63, 720 tons, with to-
tai valuation of 81 .467,4S and exceed
ing the bullion value of September by
s71 ,40i.
During October numerous lessees
operated at n profit and close corpor-
ations, especially the Strong company.

TO their treasury. but with these fig
ures not obtainable the October divi-
dends of record amount to s202. 800,
and are as follows: Portland com
pany. $4,000; Vindicator. $4,000;
Elkton. $4,000.
The figures below show the grades
of ore handled during the month and
are considered by mining men as more
significant than those given out In
years. as they evidence the fact that
very rich mineral is going from the
district and also that ore of the low
est grades is treated at home at
profit.
The entire tonnage OF high and me-
dium grade ore handled at the smelt-
ers during the month averaged SCI.
while the Ironclad mill is getting
good extraction and making money on
the treatment OF minerals OF the value
of $l.s0 ton. The Monmouth mill.
which is the old Copper Mountain
plant. with improved machinery. also
added to the output this month and
handled 1900 tons of 81 ore. This
mill. 1t is understood. will be oper-
ated steadily in the treatment OF low
grade. The output follows:

today the good of the commonwealth

part:
We are not yet a homogeneous peo-
pie but We are rapidly becoming so.
The problems OF conquest are SETH
ed. but there are other problems be
fore us, Paramount among these is
the civic problem. II has grown 10
wonderful proportions in the last few
years and as it grows men are really
attacking it in earnest Today the
budget of Philadelphia, alone is great
er than that of the entire nation one
hundred years ago. In 1900 this city
spent only % cents per capita upon
the government and Improvement of
the city. Today she spends s2960 per
capita. That means that the prob.
lens and difficulties of Philadelphia
have increased at least forty fold
With this increase in expenditure has
come graft and corruption but We are
working up through the lower strata
TO a higher and cleaner citizenship.
1t used to be the widest dream of re
formers that franchise granted by a
city should yield a return. but today il
is an actual fact
Theodore Roosevelt is the man
who has given impetus TO this move
ment but he is not the originator of
these ideas. They have been forming
in the minds of men for generations.
Governor Hughes of New York has
been scarcely second to President
Roosevelt in giving backbone TO the
great reforms. He has brought home
to his people and indirectly to the PEG
pie of other states that they are par
and parcel of Il great whole will
rights inextricably woven together
