lessened sales. Receipts OF the leading deScrip-
tions in the orchard line being light however,
prices were steady as rule, with the tendency
upward, if anything. Stocks Of No. Bartlett

melons were increased TO LOO boxes but with
the demand Of good proportions. Saturday s
prices were easily maintained and few ia
yored brands even brought little more. Table
grapes of all kinds were in good request, they
being the leading feature Of the market. but

Slump in Socialist Vote

The socialist vote in Tuesdays s
election showed a great falling off
from the record in 1904 in the three
principal cities of the country in
which socialism is strongest. Chi
cago socialists, who polled Is, 900
votes in 1904, were given less than
$4,000 votes in the police returns,
and the most sanguine do not ex-
pect that the revised totals will ex-
ceed 21, 600 votes for Mr.. Debs.
Cincinnati and Cleveland, also list
ed as strong solistic centers accord
ing to the leaders of the party, pol
led greatly decreased vote.
The total vote for Mr.. Debs, it
is estimated, will not exceed 5OO,-
600, in place of the 100000
which was predicted by enthusias-
tic socialists.

ELECTION RESULTS
Tail, Hadley and Entire Republican State Ticket
Elected County Is Democratic

Last Tuesdays election was q
sweeping republican victory. The
latest figures give Taft 327 electoral
votes and a popular plurality of
1,020, $50. Hadley was elected
governor of this state by 1900
over Cowherd and the entire state
ticket is elected. Mckinley led
Kerens for Senator by over Is, 900.
Stone beat Folk for the democratic
nomination for senator and the
control of the legislature is close
and may be determined only by the
official count.
Linn county went for Bryan by
FL votes, the republicans losing
everything except sheriff and pros
ecuting attorney. The tabulated
returns from this county will be
found on another page.

that were provided to satisfy the

generously contributed such an
abundance of everything good we

hasn't been accepted as yet, but
they are talking of having the

Laclede! Laclede! Always in
the lead! And the high school
certainly was last Saturday, the

The new residence of G.. o. Orton
in the southeast suburbs of town
has been completed and the family
will move in today. This is one of
the finest homes in this locality,
having nine rooms and basement,
with furnace heat aid water, max
ing it modern throughout. The
granting, finishing and wall decor
alton was done by j. E. Welsh
and is certainly elegant and artistic
in every part and is a job that
would be mighty hard to beat. All
outside steps are granitoid and
granitoid walks lead to all parts of
the premises. MIR. and Mrs. Orton
certainly have reason to be proud
Of their new home.
The kick of boy, or the skip of |
4 girl, is provided for in the school |
shoes sold by Rummell.
