The strenuous campaign for the
presidency and state politics ended
Tuesday after a season that has been
nlled In with much speaking all over
the country. Up to the yer last
minute Chairman Mack has claimed
the election Of RHyan and he has
been insistenttha the country was
for him, basing his hope on the New
York. Ohio ndsIndiana going to the
western man. It looks very much
like Mack Is letting his democratic
friends down real hard in insisting
on carrying states that are naturally
republican and have been casting the
vote that way for many years. The
democrats have been extremely OPP
timistic throughout the entire cam
SpaigA, but all the great newspapers
OF the country have not caught the
infection from the democrats to
make any change in their Judgment
- 70 the success of Judge Taft. 1t
cannot be conceived why there should
10 such an Overwhelming change
from the republican leaders over to
BRYAN and his friends.-the condi-
tion Of things over the country dc
mot warrant the necessity of such
change. and the American people
are still stable enough to maintain
their sanity IN keeping in power the
gnnrfr %hnt hnc limo thinuc and hos
along program Of things to be done
III the future. The vote of the
country is patiently waited by mil.
Hons OF people and that the verdict
will be for Judge Taft there is nc
question.

In the closing days Of the cam
pafgn the democrats sought to make
much capital out of the announcement
Of John ID. Rockefeller that he was
Taft supporter, and they spread the
information far and wide hat the
great oil magnate had finally come
across with a big wad of money for
the republican campaign committee.
There were no oyertures offered
Rockefeller to come to the support
OF Judge Taft, and he merely exer-
cised his privilege as an American
citizen to support whom he wanted
to. 1t Is acknowledged that he hates
Roosevelt, and that he has no use on
earth for Bryan, consequently Rookie
teller simply made the announcement
that he would support Taft. This
lead the democrats to the SUPPOSE
ton that great wads Of money were
to be turned over to the republican
managers. But in this they we're
disappointed, according to the state
ments Of Walter Wellman. who
stated that the Standard Oil people
long ago rendered large sums of
money to the republican campaign
fund, and at a time. too, when the
exchequer was running real low and
st was 9 strong temptation for Chair
man Hitchcock to accept it. But 1t
was the policy Of the committee not
% accept money from that source
and the Standard Oil checks were
Ssreturned unused to the givers. 1t
- known that Rockefeller and many
e the Standard Oil people are re-
publicans and many of them are
democrats. and It is only natural
that they should seek to support the
nominee of their party.

Answers Scientific Objections.

In one of his recent sermons DR..
7. j. Macmurray paid his respects to
the so-called scientific objection that
religion was not entitled to respect
unless the mysteries connected with
it can be explained to the scientific
e He said:
You cannot throw a tapeline
around the sun; but you can enjoy
it's shining. You cannot weigh the
ocean; but you can trust yourself
on it's bosom, or you can feast
your eyes upon it's white-crested bill
lows as they roll toward the pebbly
shore. You cannot clasp the air nor
understand it's mysterious move
ments; but you can be refreshed and
energized when it fans your cheek
You cannot scientifically account for
the appearance of life in the world,
yet you can be charmed with the
wonderful diversity in animal or
ganization, though nothing of any
weight has thus far been disclosed
by the scientist as to the origin of
life itself. You cannot analyze God
as the chemist analyses a drop of
water under the microscope; but you
can hear His %pardoning. voice, you
can enjoy His love in your heart, and
can have the indubitable evidence
that you are His child and an heir
to a glorious immortality. This mat
erial world is full of mysteries which
the profoundest thinkers and scl,o'-
ars are powerless to %unravel. SO the
spiritual world has it's impenetrable
mysteries; but God has sufficiently
revealed himself to mankind, and the
humble, trusting soul fails net to
find Him a refuge and strength, a
very present help in trouble"

Reliance-An Indian of the lower
Brule agency dropped dead In a pool
hall here Tuesday morning at about

er at the highest price ever paid in
the countr schools of Hutchinson
county. The price paid the woman is
to be $50 per month. On or two men

in the history OF the county that a
woman teacher has received so high
a salary.

ing some distance from his home.
The left half of his body is entirely

6,4OS cars. Twenty-siX stations in
the Huron and Dakota division ship
ped a total of 6,193 cars last year
and this year the estimate is placed
at 1896 cars. This indicates that
the wheat crop this year is greatly
in c of that raised last year.

Wounded Striker Taken To Jail;
Now Suffers From Blood Poison
Joseph Locapatus Was Shot in FngerNo Treatment Is
Alleged After Leaving HospitaIMay Sue The County.

Because of neglect of a slight
bullet wound on one of his fingers
blood poison has set in and Joseph
Locapatus, one of the strikers who
was shot in the riot at Keasbey last
Wednesday, will now have to lose
his whole hand and probably part of
his arm as we'll.
Those who have seen the case are
inclined to blame the county author
tiles for the neglect and some have
advised Locapatus to bring suit
against the county.
1t seems that when Locapatus was
shot he, together with two others,
was taken to the city hospital for
treatment. Locapatus' wound was
only a slight one, being on one of
his fingers. With proper care 1t
would have healed readily. it is said,
and only the finger would have had
to be amputated. The hospital being
crowded at the time DR.. G. w. Will

DECKHAND FELL
FROM A MAST
Ernest G. Joseph, Of the
Steamship Brooklyn City,
Seriously Injured.
THIRTY FEET TO DECK
Was Picked Up Unconscious
and and Taken To Hospital
Body a Mass of Bruises.

Ernst G. Joseph, deckhand en-
ployed on the iron steamship Brook
lyn City, which entered this port yes
terday, fell from the cross-piece of a
mast to the iron deck below, a dis
tance of about thirty feet, yesterday
afternoon and was rendered uncon-
scious. He was terribly bruised
from head to foot and is suffering
with slight concussion of the brain.
As the man ia still in critical con-
recover, though he has slight
chance.
According to the stories Of men
who claim to have been eye-witnesses
to the accident, there is difference
of opinion as to the distance that
Joseph fell. Some say he fell forty
or fifty feet, while the captain of the
vessel says that the man fell only ten
feet. The fellows injuries indicate
that he must have fallen more than
ten feet, for he is a mass of bruises.
About o'clock yesterday after
noon, soon after the vessel had en-
tered port, the man climbed to the
mast head to adjust some halyards.
While in the rigging in some manner
he lost his balance.
The city ambulance was summon
ed and the injured man was taken
to the city hospital, where it was at
first said that his chances for recov-
cry were slim.
The steamer on which the man was
employed came to this port with red
iron ore from England and was dis
charging at the Lehigh Valley Com
pany's wharyes.

A slight blaze in the court of
public school No. 8, which occurred
about IL o'clock last night, attract
ed three policemen to the scene and
called out the MoClellan's hose
wagon together with few firemen
The blaze was among some waste
paper, which was left from the days
work. These had been thrown into
an iron trough in the court, adjoin-
ing the main chimney. The trough
was made for the purpose of burning
waste paper in, so as to avoid burn
ing it on the highway. AS fire had
been kindled there earlier in the
day. few sparks probably remained
and during the night, when the wind
arose, the embers were famed into
blaze,
The fire in no way endangered the
building, but scared a number of
nearby residents, who saw the glare
through the basem ent windows and
thought the building was on fire.
Michael Stump first telephoned to
police headquarters about the blaze.
Patrolman Dalton was then detailed
by Sergeant Mulligan. He called out
the McClellan's hose cart and sever
al firemen. When he got to the
school house Patrolmen Harding and
Gutowsk we're on the scene, togeth-
er with crowd of spectators. The
fire was soon extinguished.
