seventy-fonr Of the ninety y-eight coun-
ties Of the State, and the Democratic
State ticket, headed by Hon. Nv. w.
Kitchin, Isl elected by an approximate
majority of 10000. Democratic Chair
man Eller at 1 O'Clock claimed that
the majority would be from 100000 to
$4,000, basing his estimates on re-
turns from fifty-two counties. Fifty
six counties are safely Democratic,
twelve are Republican and six are in
doubt. No reports were received on
the remaining number, mostly noun
tain and extreme eastern counties.
Two congressional districts the
Sth and 10th are conceded to the Re-
publicans.

iority estimated at about 100000 at.
IL O'Clock the election for Governor
is in doubt, with Hemans, Democrat,
leading Warner, Republican, by 1000.
Illinois.
Chicago, Special-The Republican
national and State tickets gained
complete victory in Illinois, although
the pluralities will probably fall short
of those obtained by the party in the
campaign of 1904. Taft has carried
the State by approximately 10000
votes.
Kentucky.
Louisville, Ky, Spccial.-Bryan' IS
plurality in Kentucky is $4,000, eight
and possibly nine Democratic Con-
grcssmen elected and a Republican
loss of two seats. This is the prob
able story Of the election in Ken

marked by the polling of the largest
vote in the history Of the State.

Atlanta, Ga, Special.-Bryan car
ried Georgia, but early returns indi-

counties thus far reported and in two

food for brain work and to develop
healthy children. She writes:-

General Demand

of the Well-Informed Of the World has
always been for simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy Of known
value; laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its COM
ponent parts are known to them to be
wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable to the system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with its ex-
cellent combination Of Syrup Of Figs and
Elixir of SIENNA, the California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits Of the laxative for its remark
able success.
That is one of many reasons why

HER CHOICE OF DEMISE.
Pathetic Thought Of Little Girl Who
Had Lost Playmate.

Mary had for neighbor small play
mate, much-loved and attractive boy.
The little lad rushed across the street
one day, throwing back a glance at his
mother. AT that instant trolley car
swept around the corner and the re-
sulting tragedy threw the town into
mourning. Each family wept as
though it's own son had been lost.
Mary was utterly disconsolate and,
little as she had previously known of
death, realized in childish way the
added horror of this one. In her con-
vulsive grief, and while her father and
mother sat with sobs in their threats
and tears overlooking, Mary straight
ened up and sobbed:

Untidy Women,

If a man Is asked what kind OF a
woman 1t Is that he most dislikes, he
will probably answer that 1t is the
slovenly woman. Unfortunately, many
women who would be Mortified II their
husbands came down to breakfast in
an unshaved, unwashed and collarless
condition, think nothing Of appearing
at that meal with their hair in curl
papers and clad in an unsightly tea
gown. More often than not, laziness
is at the root of woman's neglect to
arrange her hair and put on short
and tidy skirt and a clean shirt-waist.
Five minutes less of sleep is surely all
that Is necessary to enable her to
make herself neat for the morning
meal. Her husband would then carry
away with him pleasant and inspirit-
ing picture of a dainty woman, in
stead Of slovenly, tousled creature,
who, by her own carelessness and lazi-
ness, must inevitably weaken, even
II she does not altogether destroy, the
affection and respect of her husband.
Many women think they must be dirty
and untidy when doing housework-a
very foolish mistake. A woman, il
she has any innate refinement says
the New York Weekly, will do her
work and look as neat as a new pin
throughout. She will coil her hair
neatly and cover it from dust with a
mop-cap made of any cheap washing
material Her short skirt and neat
shirt-waist will be businesslike and
allow freedom and quickness Of move
ment. Then for doing dirty work,
garment of dark print should be
slipped on, to be changed for light
one when cooking. In such a dress
she will look as neat and dainty as
anyone could wish, and her work will
be better done, too, than if she wore
soiled clothes.
