Roosevelt's 2,545,0OO in 1901. The next
House of Representative is Republic
can. and the Republican, party will re-
main in control of all branches of the
government after March 4 next.
OF the States called doubtful or de-
batable in the campaign, Taft carried
nearly all. His majority in New York
State may reach $4,000, he carried
Ohio by about 10000. and Illinois by
175,000. Indiana was extremely close,
the majority for the head OF the ticket
ranging from 5000 to $4,000, according
to the returns at 3 o'clock Wednesday
morning. The returns Indicate that
the far western mountain States of
Colorado and Montana have given
Bryan their electoral votes, but Taft
has carried Idaho.
Bryan made q much better race fer
the presidency than he did in either
of his other campaigns. gaining both in
electoral and popular votes, but has
made no serious inroads upon the Re-
publican hold on the presidential office.
He has done better in the West than in
the East. In the West he has won his
own State ard other States which were
made no Roadway, and the majorities
against him there are almost as large
as they were in 1900. Where he did
gain was ia States where there were
Republican fractional fights or a tenn
perance struggle over the State ticket
involving the electoral ticket as well.
Hughes Wins by $4,000.
In New York State Governor Hughes
has been successful by majority ap-
proximating 1900 at the least. He
ran largely ahead up the State, and
the vote for Chanler in Greater New
York was much smaller than was an
ticipated, while Bryan In the metropolis
scarcely equaled the vote of Taft
Some of the State fights were in
doubt on the face of the early returns
Hughes carried New York by a major
ity less than half as great as that of
the presidential candidate.
The returns from Ohio and Indiana
came in with provoking slowness, but
the early figures indicated that Taft
had carried Ohio by anything from TO-
600 upward. Whether or not Governor
Harris or Judson Harmon had carried
Ohio for Governor could not be deter
mined till the full returns were in.
Early indications were that the Demo.
Gratis won the governorship, as the
cities were against Harris on the tenn
perance issue.
Indiana returns were also indefinite.
but ii was believed Taft had carried
the State by small plurality. the esti-
mates ranging from 5000 to $1,000.

FOUND DEAD ON TRACKS.
Arthur Humphries of waukesha
MysterfousIy Killed

The mangled body of Arthur Hum
phries, aged 81, was found early on
recent morning on the Northwestern track
twenty-five fer east of the Greenfield
avenue crossing in Waukesha. Hum
phries lived within block Of the cross
ing and his body was discovered by his
young son, who notified neighbor. His
death may have been an accident, but
there are suspicious of foul play. Coro-
ner Hill and jury viewed the body and
an inquest was held. HUMPHREYS was well
known and a man of excellent habits. He
leaves widow, FIVE children and a broth
er. When he did not return from lodge
his wife became apprehensive and sat up
all night waiting for him. Mrs. Hum
phries is FRUSTRATED by her husbands
tragic death. The theory that HUMPHREYS
was the victim of thugs, being murdered
and his body thrown on the tracks to
conceal the crime, has been strengthened
by the finding of the dead mans hat with
the crown crushed .n, hidden under the
sidewalk near the crossing.

Body of Prominent Man Missing Two
Years Found in River.
The body of John Gillett, formerly
probably the best known man in Keno
sha and son of the late Judge Gurdin
GiIlett. who disappeared Jan. IA, 1907,
was found in the Kenosha river. 1t is
evident Gillett walked into the river on
che night of his disappearance, and was
caught in the refuse at the bottom OF the
stream and held there. The river is filled
with tar from the gas works and with
acids from a large tannery, and these
served as a preserving fluid to such an
extent that, Notwithstanding the fact that
the body had been in the water for nearly
two years, it was still possible to recog-
nize the features.

ROBBERS STEAL SILK.
Store of Luther Davies q Co. at Osh-
kosh Entered and $500 Taken.


A large quantity of silk. more than 400
yards, valued at over $780, was stolen
from the dry goods store of Luther Da-
vies 4 Co. in Oshkosh. The robbers took
eleven part bolts of goods of which eight
were black, three were blue and one
brown. In this respect the robbery was
peculiar as hey evidently wanted moth
ing but solid colors and did not touch
any of the fancy designs. They did not
open the money drawer which had So in
it and no other goods, excepting the silk,
were missing. Entrance - the store was
secured through rear window by means
of jimmy. 1t is believed by the police
that the job is the work of men who have
been doing this sort OF work throughout
the State, the robbery at Madison recent
ly, being similar to this one.

Neenah it was announced that the test
case will be instituted at Amigo against

case later would be taken to The Supreme
Court. The law stipulates tsat all mill

claims that no license should be required
for reason that no license is required from
other manufacturers producing by-pro-
