walthour Not In Good Form.

Word from Bobby Walthour
would seem 20 indicate that the At
lanta boy is not having the easy
picking this year abroad that he ala
last season, When he was home in
the fall, Walthour was in bad shape.
The broken shoulder he received on
one OF the German tracks was very
painful ana was not mending as rap
idly as was hoped His return TO
Paris was a surprise 10 his home
friends, who thought he should have
remained I'm Atlanta under the ply
sioian's care longer than he did. His
condition Is evidenced by hil hard
luck at the long distances, aud many
OF his Wen wishers would be glad
10 see him return 20 sprint work. at
least for a time. And In spite of his
announcement that he would never
again ride on the dangerous Germnn
tracks, where be had three narrow
escapes from death, Il Is said that
he has aga.a signed a contract 10
ride in Germany.
One OF the most important of this

NEBRASKA,

Lincoln Returns on Tuesdays elee
tion in Nebraska are far from com
plete but seem sufficiently definite tt
confirm the first report that the Demo
Gratis won a sweeping victory While
the pluralities for the victorious party
are not ,phenomenally large they are
complete, the state ticket and candi
dates for congress in most instances
running parallel with Bryan, who was
expected to lead the ticket by severG,
thousand. Complete returns from g
third of the counties and scattering
precinct returns from most of the re
mainder show that Bryan will have
a plurality of 10000 votes and Shallen
berger, Democrat for governor, and the
rest of the Democratic ticket will have
about 5000.
But the Democratic victory does not
stop there Five of Nebraska's six con
gre1smen are Democratic, only one Re

trict, escaping defeat by 700 votes, al
though his district gave Bryan plur
ality. The greatest surprise of all is

BROTHERS OF THE WOODS. +"
Story Of How Russian Band Of Revo
Iutionists Was Broken Up Is
Told in Court.

New York Nov. 5.-Testimony tc
show that the offenses with which Jar
Pouren is charged were political ant
not criminal, was given Wednesday
before United States Commissioner
Hitchcock al. the hearing on the Rus
sian governments application for the
extradition of Pouren, who fed to this
country when he was being sought IN
connection with disturbances in Sis
segaol province Russia, in 1906.
Andre w. Lasdin, who claims (,
have been a member of the same or
ganization, "The Brothers of the
Woods" with which Pouren was asso
ciated at the time the offenses charged
against him were committed, testified
that he met Pouren at meeting oi
the Brothers of the Woods and that
that organization, Revolutionary band
was broken up by the Russian authorl
ties, he with several other members
of 1t being forced to take refuge in the
woods from June, 1906 to June, 1906
Three members of the circle of ~ com
rades, Lasdin declared, were shot by
order of a field court-martial, while
another was shot by order of military
district court. Two others were shot
without trial.
Fights with dragons and an attack
on an estate near Riga were described
Lasdin admitted that the band burned
buildings on the estate, but justified
the attack on the ground that the
barons arrested members of the band
and questioned and tortured them"
Lasdin's refusal to tell the names OF
any of the living members of the fugi
tive band was upheld by Commissioner
Hitchcock.

Indianapolis.-A radical change III
Indianas representation in the nation
al house of representatives was the
most striking feature of Tuesday elec
tion. The latest unofficial returns give
the Democratic party II members and
the Republicans two This is. gals
of seven members for the Democrats
William II. Taft carried the state
for president by about 5000. Thomas
r. Marshall and the entire Democratic
state ticket are probably elected by a
plurality of $4,000. AS the returns
come in, Marshalrs plurality increases
while the vote on the Republican ma.
tional ticket decreases.
The legislature is probably Demo.
cratic, which means that Democratic
successor to Senator James A. Hem
enway will probably be chosen.

OKLAHOMA.

Oklahoma City.-Complete returns
from 40 counties in central and north
ern Oklahoma, received by Chairman
Thompson of the Democratic state cen
tral committee, give Bryan a plurality
of $4,000, The counties yet to be heard
from are largely Democratic. These
probably will increase Bryan's plural
ity to $4,000.
Unofficial complete returns from i(
counties and partial returns from the
35 other counties indicate that the leg

gain of 25 for the Republicans, but the

st. Louis-The electoral vote of Mis-
souri, is in doubt, late returns from the
city of st. Louis and from rural re
gions reducing the lead held by Bryan
so that IT is impossible to say definite
ly who has carried the state. The
complexion of the next Legislature is
also in doubt, though the indications
are that the Democrats will control Il
by four or five votes on joint ballot
This would assure the reelection Of
William ]. Stone to the United States
senate. The Republican senatorial
nomination is in doubt between Rich

The Republicans have apparently
elected Herbert s. Hadley for governor
by at least 5000 plurality and the
probabilities are that he has carried
the entire state ticket with him.

OHIO.

Cincinnati.-A plurality of about So.
900 for Judge Taft, the Republican can
didate for president, was the election
day expression of the voters of Ohio,
who, however, at the same time chose
the head of the opposition state ticket
by plurality of probably 10000 More
than half the precincts of the state are
included in the figures that show these
results, no estimates being considered,
and any later difference will be simply
as to the size Of the plurality, there
being no question of tle certainty of
the result.
Columbus.-Latest returns show that
Carl Anderson, Democrat, has beaten
Congressman Grant f. Mouser in the
Thirteenth district by about 1000
votes. This makes gain of four con-
gressmen in Ohio for the Democrats

amendment to the constitution proyid-
ing for a session of the legislature in

this became known, it was said that

Harmon, would have the opportunity
to name a senator to serve from the
expiration of Senator Foraker's term

F, Foraker's successor. This could be
called since the term of the legislature
begins January /, ten days before that

gone Democratic. The entire county
ticket is safe with maiorities ranging

the most complete canvass of the
