Rep resentatives of telegraph and tele- phone companies here report that tue demand for wire service on the night of Nov. 3 is already greater than il was in 1904 and the remaining days will put the final figure well above that total. Few persons realize the size of the complex machinery that is set in motion that night to satisfy the anx- iCus interest of the millions of people who fill the theaters, clubs and res taurants in the big cities and pack tne streets in front of the newspaper of fees. To carry the news next Tues. day, over 100000 miles of telegraph and telephone wire will be brought into service, or enough to furnish 29 special lines to the moon and have enough wire left over for circuits to Cincinnati. Lincoln and Oyster Bay. Thousands of halls and offices Will be kept open and the services of tens oI thousands of persons will be required to start and bulletin the returns and to
 handle the crowds. The cost of all these items for the country as d

 Pima county railroad bonds, which subsequently, passed the house and senate He defeated time after time
 the bill to force people grazing the public lands to pay rent for such
 privileges. He defeGted the land court commission bill, which would
 have confirmed every title of Mexican Land Grants in Ar1zona. He got an
 appropration for Investigating Reavis

 was defeated. He got the first ap- proprition for specific exdenditure

 One of the interesting features of election night is the number of bro kers' offices which are kept open and are thronged from early in the even ing until we'll after midnight by anS- ious spectators and investors. w
 Wall Street and LaSaI Street are not so vitaIly intrested as usual in the outcome, the stock market Wedn- esday will reflect the result. Mum bers of churches this year nave ar ranged to receive the returns and in many places advantage has been taken of the election interest to or ganize charitable fairs and bazaars to which the returns will be bulle- tined.
 Women will vote in this general election in three states, Colorado, Idaho and Wyoming, a fact which campaign managers in the various na. tional headquarters in Chicago of the democratic, republican, prohibition and socialist parties here nave taken into consideration. These states l representation in the electoral college amounts to II votes out of 4S3 | Voting in all states but three will be by the Australian system, Virginia and the Carohnas having retained the old system. By no means all the men of 21 in the country are qualified voters, for the varying laws of the states not only bar convicts in the prisons in most cases, but place other restrictions on suffrage that become exceedingly important in presidential years. Michigan bars Indians and 'duelists and their abettors;" Ms sississippi bars delinquent taxpayers and Massachusetts and a few other states penalize pauperism by taking away the voting privilege. Nevada brings up the struggle of North and South by barring from suffrage 'un. amnestfed confederates against the United States" as well as Indians and the Chinese. Vermont also bars "ex- Iconfederates." Native Indians" are voters by the Oklahoma law. Ohio refuses to let United States soldiers vote. as does North Dakota, Texas and few other states. Atheists are not voters in North Carolina, nor are embezzlers of public funds, if there are any such, in Alabama. Non-tax lpayers cannot vote in Pennsylvania nor can persons dishonorably dis charged from the service of the United States. As nearly every state bars convicts and there are s1,772 convicts in the prisons of the coun- try, election day will mean nothing to whole army of them.

sIEDMAN's LOST BOOK.
How the Poet Banker Paid For an
Outburst Of Temper.

Edmund Clarence Stedman, the poet
banker. had high temper and was ex-
ceedingly sensitive. One day. exas-
perated by the Grass stupidity of
servant, he threw book at his head
The boy ducked, and the book sailed,
out of the window. After it hurried
the mental. but he was too late; a
passerby had picked it up and walked
off with it, Stedman began to wonder
what book he had thrown away and
to his horror discovered that 1t was a
quaint and rare little volume for which
he had paid $50. His chagrin was in
tense, as the work was almost unique
and the prospects of replacing it were
remote.
Some time afterward when browsing
in second hand bookshop our sple-
netic poet-banker perceived to his great
delight copy of the very book he had
lost. He asked the price Its very
rare" replied the dealer, "but as you
are an old customer I'll let you have 1t
for $40 Nobody else could have it
for less than $780," Stedman gladly
paid the $40, got home with his treas
ure as soon as possible and sat down
to gloat over 1t. A card dropped out
of the leaves. 1t was his own. Fur
ther examination showed that he had

THREE DEADLY AGENTS.
Peculiar Properties of Spider, a
Grain and a Vine.


Grain and Vine.
What is the most terrible form in
which death comes? Here are three.
but which one of them is the worst it
Is hard to say:
In Peru and parts of South Australia
there is found small spider about
half as big as pea. When this insect
digs its fangs into its victim it inserts
a poison which begins at once to act.
1t scorches up the blood vessels and
spreads through the tissue, causing
most dreadful agony. The worst part
of 1t is that the victim usually suffers
for two days, but death in the end is
inevitable.
Another fearful death results from
eating "bhat," vegetable which
grows in the east, of which few
grains cause violent MANIA ending IN
death. "Bhat" occasionally grows In
among the rice CROP from which 1t is
hard to distinguish until dry, when the
poisonous grain is of brick red color
There is South American vine call
ed the "knotter,' which grips any liv-
ing thing coming in contact with it.
Its tentacles Irvine round the object
seized, soaring and burning the flesh
like redhot wires. Then the prey is
drawn into the heart of the foliage
and there crushed to death. The meth
cd is too horrible to describe in detail.

A Sporting JUDGE.

After Baron Martin, who possessed
a great horror of sporting prophets
had become partially deaf he was on
one occasion trying racing case, an
exercise of his functions he reveled in.
One of the counsel engaged in 1t was
named Stammers, solemn, formal,
sententious parsonage, who seldom
made a speech without quoting pas
sages from Scripture. In addressing
the jury he was about to pursue his
old habit and got as far as las the
prophet says" when the Judge inter-
posed:
Don't trouble the jury, Mr.. Siam
mers, about the prophets There is not
one of them who would not sell his IA
Their siXpenny worth of halfpence."
But, my lord,'' said Stammers in a
subdued tone, II was about to quote
from the Prophet jeremiah"
Don't tell me-" replied the baron

is just as bad as the rest of them."-

Another Resident Passes Away.

Il
A. G. Carothers died at his home in
Manila Thursday, April 16 after a
brief illness of typhoid-pneumonia.
Everyone was shocked Thursday to
hear of his death, on account of his
being sick so short time.
Andrew Garfield Carothers was born
in Guernsey county. Ohio June 25,
1857. He came to Crowford county,
Iowa in 1884 and four years later was
married to Agnes Emily Graham. To
them were born four children: Sadie,
Emily, William and one little daughter
who at the age of thirteen (13)
months crossed over the river to await
the Fathers coming. The remainder
of the children with the wife and two
brothers and three sisters, living in
Ohio. remain to weep over the miss
ing one. Brother Carothers moved
from the country near here into Man
lila just twelve years previous to the
day of his death. He was a Christian
man, openly taking his place in the
church many years ago. He was
trained up in the Christian faith of
the old Scotch covenanters. EARLY in
life he united with the Presbyterian
Manila church in 1896 and remained
true to his christian conviction till his
death. Mr.. Carothers died in Manila,
Iowa April 16, 1908 at the age of SO
years, months and 21 days. He was
always cheerful, a devoted friend,
church member. husband and father.
Seldom ever do We find people walk
ing more pleasantly the way of life
than did Brother Carothers. BY his
death we are again reminded that
"Friend after friend depart,
Who has not lost friend!
There is no union here of hearts
That las ret had an end"
Dear child.eli do not weep,
Tho Christening be His rod,
The Fathers but gone to sleep,
To wake with heaven and Cod
Exchanging toll and tears
For yonder beautiful shore,
He scars amid the spheres
"Not lost but gone before"
In heaven a song clear
Pervades the sacred air,
Enters thy Father dear,
The pearly gates ajar;
A messenger from earth,
Has reached the other shore,
Oh blissful, heavenly birth
mot lost but gone before"
