NO HOPE FOR BRYAN.

General J. Warren Keifer, member
of Congress from Ohio, and one of the
| wisest political prognosticators Of the
United States has the political stu.
alton sized up thusly:
Bryan is conceded sixteen states.
These include the states Of the south
and Nevada. In the Bryan list is
| Oklahoma and Missouri, Kentucky
and Maryland, in all of which the
republican will make a vigorous con-
test.
There are to be 4S3 electors chosen;
! necessary to elect 242. The states
which General Keifer comedies to
Bryan have 1853 electoral votes.
In the doubtful column the General
places the states of Colorado, Della
ware, Idaho, Montana, Nebraska, Utah
and South Dakota. These states have
an aggregate of 20 votes in the cleo
toral college. The remaining % states,
with 2S5 votes, General Keifer gives to
Taft.
Suppose Bryan carries the sixteen
states General Keiter comedies to him,
and in addition wins in all of the
doubtful states he would have 19S
votes, or A less than enough to elect.
But there is no possibility that Mr..
Bryan will carry all of these so-called
doubtful states. Nebraska went Re-
publican in 1900 when Bryan was last
d candidate, and in 1904 Roosevelt car
ried the state by $4,000 plurality. Mr.
Taft has an equal chance with Bryan
in Colorado, Delaware, South Dakota
and Idaho.
On the other hand Mr.. Taft can
lose all the states General Kelfer
claims as doubtful and 43 of the cleo
toral votes conceded to him and STILL
be elected. He can lose New YorG
and all the doubtfus states and beat
Bryan. He can win less than half the
doubtful states and lose New York
and Indiana and yet be inaugurated
next March. There is as grea, prob
ability of Bryan losing a part of the
1859 votes classeI as certain for him as
that Taft will drop any Of the 2s5
votes credited to. him.
There will be NO surprise to- the
students of politics. if Mr.. Taft carries
one or more of the states of the south
Anti-Bryan sentiment is far below par
in that section, while the Taft fol
lowing is; strong. Rotlling less than a
political revolution will defeat Taft
and elect Bryan. \.

but carried forward. In fact, he de-
clareg that "the chief function of the
next administration is to complete and
perfect the machinery by which these
standards may be- maintained, by
which the law-breakers may be
promptly restrained and punished, but
which will operate with sufficient &C.
curacy and dispatch to- interfere with
legitimate business as, little as possi+
be-"
In other words, the party must go
on in the way blazed by the present
administration, clinching what has al
ready been achieved and moving for
wards as developments and opportun-
tiles permit.

J portant measures recently passed by
the national congress, and points out

sary In the near future.

GIRL SUICIDES
BuIah Cox Takes Her Own Life Tues
day at Derrick.

Coroner Gilbertson and Deputy Sher-'
iff Frye went to Derrick Tuesday night
called by information that Miss Bulah
Cox, had been found dead in her room.
Mr.. Gibertson empaneled jury and
the remains were given a careful ex.
animation. after which the jury. re-
turned verdict Of suicide. =,
Miss Cox was the adopted daughter
of Mrs. Mary Wright with whom she
lived, on the Henry King place, and
was sixteen years Of age. 4, 1t seems
from what we can learn that her life
has not always been a happy one, and
1t Is thought that possibly she became
tired of life and committed suicide.
Two physicians examined her and
were of the opinion that death came
from a dose of carbo1ic acid. ais her,
face was burned about the mouth I'm
sdicating that carbolic acid had been
used. The remains were taken: to
Wabash, Ind, for burial. stSs. .'

BRO. BLOOM HAS ANOTHER
DREAM.

Our esteemed contemporary, Bro.
Bloom Of the Journal, INDUCED In an.
other of his pipe dreams Friday which
took form in an article in the daily of
that evening. In his imaginings there
was to be great eruption of the re-
publicanism of Ramsey county at the
meeting of the county central com
mittee that evening, during which the
two factions were to lock horns and
furnish inspiration enough to keep
the democratic papers of the county
busy for several moons.
But what was the result? No dis
sention, no strife, no democratic in
spiration. Instead everything was llar-
monious in every particular, showing
that in the republican camp there is
nothing but the best of good feeling
and not the least trace of the old time
factionalism
This is a sad blow to our friends
the democracy, who like the drownd-
ing man are reaching for even the
smallest straw to keep their heads
above the tide that is growing stronger
and stronger and will engulf them
completely in November

The Journal says the expected hap
pened at the republican county central
committee meeting, that Editor Resler
was gently lifted from the chairman
ship, etc. 1t also says that the chief
object of the organization is the cleo
stion Of Judge Cowan and Geo. Mclean.
We are free to admit that the Journal
is partially right. Editor Ressler was
not reelected to the craftsmanship but
the Journal fails to say that he was
not candidate for the honor at this
time and assisted in selecting the slate
that was selected at the convention
1t was not selected with any view to
factionalism and both the old factions
had part in it's selection. AS to the
| committee assisting in the election of

Joul' nal is surely correct, in that par

more explicit had they added the bal
ance of the ticket to the list as the

CHAPTER VII.

Alfred Cassagne was the son of
large contractor, who had accumulated
considerable fortune in the construction
Of those remarkable docks in the city OF
havre, which have helped to make that
place the most important harbor OF
france. He lost his father when mere
child. His mother, dying when he was
out twenty-five years of age, had left
hin amply provided for. But he had
never married. OF quite a studious turn

books, and might possibly have degener-
eted into book worm, or have sunk so

lie awoke one morning to find that the
cashier Of bank where he usually had a
large balance, had absconded with the

gone, was equally a mystery to the police
and the officers of the concern. Having
considerable interest in the capture of the
fugitive, Cassagne set about making In
Suirles on his own account. From these
inquires he quietly deduced his own the
