Republicans Hold the Senate.

Chicago, Nov. 3.-The senate will
show practically no change in political
complexion, the Republicans retaining
large majority. In Oregon Demo-
crat was given the Endorsement for
United States Senator and if the legs-
lature carries out the will of the voters
as expressed at the primary in that
state the Republican majority will be
decreased by one in the Senate. Other
wise the indications are that the politi-
cal strength of the two leading parties
in the upper branch of congress will
remain as heretofore.
The terms Of thirtyone senators ex-
pire March 3rd. Louisiana and Mary
land have already elected Democrats
and Vermont and Kentucky have chos-
en- Republicans OF the remaining 27
members to be elected the probabilities
are that Is will be Republicans and
IL Democrats. Indiana, which elects
a United States Senator, is considered
doubteful as to the complexion of the
legislature.
The membership of the Senate is 80,
the holdover members numbering 6l
(43 Republicans and IS Democrats).
The election of II Republicans and 13
Democrats, as seems probable from the
returns giving the makeup of the var
ious legislatures which elect senators,
would show the strength of the two
leading parties in the Senate

Republicans Win in Illinois.

Chicago, Nov. AT 1 O'Clock the re-
turns showed conclusively that Taft
had carried the state by 100000 to
175.000. Deneen, the Republican can
didate for governor, was elected by a
plurality estimated at from 10000 to
$4,000. The next Legislature, which
is to choose a successor to United
States Senator Albert ]. Hopkins, will
be composed of 5S Republicans and "a
Democrats in the Senate and 215 Re-
publicans and 176 Democrats in the
House.

New Hampshire.

Concord, N. H., Nov. 3.-Twofifths
of the vote of New Hampshire, count
ed and returned, indicates that Taft
has carried the state by about 10000
plurality. Henry B. Quinby, Republi-
can candidate for governor, will prob
ably have 1000 plurality, but as ma
jority is required to elect, the vote
of the minority parties may cut an
appreciahle figure in determining the
result. The two Republican con-
gressmen were reelected.

Some one has written the newspa-

is excellent for those who can stand
it. The writer fills q two-quart hot-wa-
ter bag more than half full of ice
water and slips it between the base
of the neck and the pillow on very hot
nights. 1t serves to cool the whole
body, and one sleeps blissfully

night.

land Office to decide. In the case Of
applications for hOmesteads under the
act of June II, 1906. the forest service
is called upon to decide whether the
land is in fact more valuable for agri-
culture than for timber. and il 1t Is. to
recommend its listing as open to entry
and patent. In the case of claims the
service ascertains whether any facts
exist which seem to show that the
claim is not legal one, in order that
national forest land may not be unlaw-
fully taken up. But it rests always
with the land Office of the interior de-

The Wish Book.

An ingenious woman who is fond
Of music and art has made an inter
esting wish book, which she calls
The MOOnbeam." Its plan is based
on the superstition that wishes made
when seeing the new moon will be
granted.
1t is a charming little conceit, ard
has just that symbolic touch that
every person wishes. 1t is gotten up
in an artistic way, with number Of
illustrations representing scenes in
which the moon appears.
Each page has border illustrated
with fanciful and symbolic designs In
fact, the spirit of superstition is
brought into play on every page of
the book.
On the pages are spaces for each
day of the year. in which wishers are
to write their most precious desires.

are also pages for common everyday
wishes.
