Baltimore, Nov. STEADY republican

indicate that Taft has carried Mary

returns from every county gave Taft
a plurality of 210.
Baltimore, Nov. 5.-The official can
vass Of Maryland's vote began today
but it viii be several days before the
count is complete. Nothing definite has
been received. the latest report gave
Taft the state by 1876 votes. This slen-
der plurality makes necessary the off,
cial figures before the result can be ac-
curately told.
Every precinct in the state has been
heard from and from all but about a
dozen the full figures on Bryan and
Taft have been received. From the
others have come, as stated, the plural
tiles for n or the other as figured by
the local correspondents.
Using these figures Taft's vote in the
state and city combined is Ill. 345 and
Bryan's Ill ,131. In this city, with all
precincts reported on. Taft has 50,8S2
and Bryan 1902, giving the city to the
former by just 1900.

crude carbolic acid and was found dead
by friends who forced the door OF his

stopped the clock in his oom that the
exact time of his death might be known
and wrote a letter in which he selected
his pail bearers. The letter contained
a 81 bill. which he said vas the last
cent he mad. He asked his niece, Mrs
Ida Mertz. to take IL.
Fol a month he was out of work. III
created little suspicion, however, as
Shuh was looked upon as a strange
character. He purchased a casket from
Dathan * Co, undertakers, October %
and paid them for II. He also gave the
undertaking establishment $45 to cover
the expense OF his funeral.
After writing his last will, in which
he asked that his house be divided be-
tween his niece and Jacob Shuh, a rela-
tive, he placed a chair upon the fioor
so that IL would act as a head rest
he then placed several blankets upon

he poured into a bottle with a long
neck, In order that Ii would reach his
throat without burning his mouth.
In his letter he said that he took his

HEARING IS GIVEN
FOR CANTONW|NE
Confronted With Adverse Evil
dence in His Hearing in
Bankruptcy Proceedings.

Sioux Falls, S. D., Nov. Hearing
I'm bankruptcy proceedings i'm the case
OF j. c. Ca~ntonwine, the Armour mer-
chant who claimed to have been robbed
of $35, 600, began here yesterday and
developed some sensational details.
Creditors holding $50, 900 in liabilities
of the merchant are represented in the
proceedings, n through Dun's re-
ports showed that in June, 1907, Can
tonwine represented that he was worth
1854, 600 inc owed only So, 900. Canton
wine says that the report was false and
that he Ia penniless. He admits, how
ever, that his wife is worth $53, 900.
When k who committed the rob-
berry of his store, C~antonwine stated
that he has under suspicion a man
by the name OF Smith and has paid the
sheriff 800 to go to Canada and search
for him.
When confronted with the charge
that the conditions do not bear out his
theory of robbery, C~antonwine broke
down and cried. He also claimed that
he kept no books. but the attorneys
for the creditors brought in a stack OF
books which are to be offered in evil
dence to disproye his statement.
The hearing Is being continued to-
day on his petition for voluntary bank
ruptcy.

CHEYENNE JOHNNY"
PASSES IN ACCOUNT

Hot Springs, s D., Nov. THE death
here OF an aged mar named John Ryan,
but who for years was better known
as Cheyenne Johnny" removed from
life's activities one or the most inter-
esting characters of western South Da-
kota. He was Is years of age at the
time of his death. He was among the
oldest settlers In this country, and
years before railroads had penetrated
this region he waS engaged as a
freighter in transporting goods to and
from the new settlements in the Black
Hills and other parts of the west. Dur
ing these long freighting trips he had
many exciting adventures with warlike
Indians and white oad agents and
his "reminiscences Of early life on the
plains would have filled a large volume
could they have been reduced 10 writ
ing. The old freighter is survived by
a widow and three children.

The republicans have won the legiS-

Of 149, and the number may reach 1876.
This is the statement of Chairman
Cook, based upon the reports nus far
received.
j. II. Scroggs, of Union. who was yes

the small margin of about 40 votes.
Two republican house members and a

MISSOURI.

st. Louis, Nov. 5.-Scattering II
miscellaneous returns from missing
precincts failed to clear the election
muddle in Missouri early today. The
electoral vote is swinging between Taft
and Bryan, precinct returns showing
first one and then the other in the
lead.
Exactly similar conditions prevailed
as regards the Legislature. Which party
will prevail on joint ballot is an I'M
solved mystery which may or may o
be cleared up today.
Returns compiled early today from
every county give Taft a lead over
Bryan in Missouri OF 81 votes. The
same tables give Hadley for governor
a lead of 1918, making his election
over Cowherd an absolute certainty.
Unofficial returns from ia out of lis
counties, Sc of the counties being COM
plete, gives Taft a plurality of 479.
Hadley's plurality is 15.153. Only an
official count can decide the complexion
of the electoral vote.
According to returns, from all the
congressional districts, with the ex-
ception of Missouri, the next national
House will consist of 2l5 republicans
and 1f5 democrats.
The missing county is Morgan. The
republican state committee claims this
for Taft by a plurality OF $50 votes, two
less than received by Roosevelt over
Parker four years ago. On this basis
Taft's lead in the state is now SAG, but
In the absence of complete figures this
result Is far from decisive.
Stone or Folk?
stone has seemingly defeated Folk
by a safe plurality for the democratic
nomination, and the chances are that
Lieutenant Governor Mckinley has car
ried the republican primary over his
nearest opponent, Richard c. Kerens.
The latter refuses TO concede this, how
ever. He issued a statement at noon
declaring reports thus far are inaccur-
ate, and that the official figures will
disclose his nomination. Folk claims

BRYAN CARRIES
HIS own STATE
Early Returns Indicate His
Plurality Will Be About
5000.

Lincoln, Neb., Nov. Indications
are that Nebraska has gone democratic
by a plurality not far from 10000 Tor
Bryan and a plurality scarcely less for
Shallenbcrger, democrat, for governor
The result was a surprise and diSap-
pointment TO republican managers,
who, while admitting the state was
doubtful on the national ticket. conf
IDENTIFY expected their state ticket tc'
be elected.
LincoIn's Sensational Flop.
The tremendous gain for Bryan In.
the city Of Lincoln was the sensation
of the election. Not only did Mr..
Bryan reverse a republican plurality
Of 1900 In his home city, but he car
ried II by a plurality something In ex--
cess Of 500. Lancaster county VIII in
crease his plurality to probably 100.
The vote in Omaha also was a sur
prise. Returns outside OF Lincoln ana
Omaha show an average democratic
gain Of eight to the precinct. II this Is
maintained throughout Bryan has won
by a little over 5000 aside from Lincoln
and Omaha, and S~hallenberger is elect
ed governor by practically the sa1ne'
plurality.
Three Districts in Doubt.
While returns are incomplete on con-
gressmen the indications are for Pol
lard. republican, in the First district
and Hinshaw, republican, in the
Fourth. Hitchcock, democrat, win in
the Second, and the Third. Fifth and
Sixth are in doubt. No returns nave
been received on the Legislature, but
the strong trend toward democracy in
dicates a possible democratic Iegisla-
ture.
Not Conceded by G. o. p.
The chairman of the republican
state central committee was not ready
to make any statement. 1t was held
by the committee that the later returns
might change the complexion OF the re
turns materially, especially those from
the western end of the state.

cratic state central committee, aid

Denver, Colo, Nov. 5.-Estimates Of
pluralities by counties based upon in
complete returns show that Bryan and
the entire democratic state ticket,
headed by John +. Shaffroth, for gov
ernor, carried Colorado with pluralities
in the neighborhood of 5000 The dem

lature by a narrow margin insuring the

New York, Nov. with Mis-
souri, and Maryland still wavering
between Taft and Bryan as late re-
turns were received and tabu-
lated this afternoon, the situation
seemed to be that Maryland was
inclining toward Bryan and Mis-
souri, toward Taft, though the
electoral vote of the former state
may be divided between the two
candidates. West Virginia has
been settled as belonging in the
republican column.
The trend of today's news
makes it seem likely that Taft will
have $40 electoral votes and Bryan
164.
