mound now remains on the site. It is related that John O'Groat and his cousins were in the habit of meet ing there once year to honor the memory of their ancestor, Dutch man who had settled in England long previous. A dispute arising as to who should preside at table, tra- ditlons says O'Groat built room with as many sides and doors as there were cousins, and table with as many sides, so that each or none might claim to be presiding over the feast.
 -?-
 D. s. J.-What is the process of electing a president after the popu- lar election is over? '
 A. The presidential electors meet in their respective states and cast their votes for president and vice. president. The record of these votes is forwarded to the president of the United States senate, who opens them in the presence of both houses of congress. If no candidate is found to have majority of all the electoral votes the house of repre- sentatives proceeds to choose pres ident from the three highest in the vote of the electoral college, but each state has only one vote, and major ity of all the states is necessary to a choices The senate in such case would choose the vice-president from the two highest. There Is nothi in the constitution to prevent mem- bers of the electoral college voting for candidate for whom they were not instructed. While public senti- ment would not permit any electors to change their votes if they were in the majority, the electors chosen for the minority candidates might not be censured if they voted for one of the other candidates in order to take advantage of their balance of power.

Little Hope That Victims o1
 Explosion Are Alive.

Benton, H., Nov. 1.-The rescuing party that has been trying to reach the four miners who were entombed ill the Rend mine at Rend City has not yet succeeded, and it may be late to. night before the imprisoned miners are found.
 That they were suffocated within thirty minutes after. the explosion is the belief of Mine Inspector W. s. Burris, who thinks that the explosion was caused by windy shot, which was quickly followed by afterdamp,
 There Is faint hope, however, that the men are alive in some remote cor ner of the mine. Fire that was burn. ing in the mine was extinguished.
 Eighteen horses and mules were in the mine at the time of the explosion, and all thus far found are dead.

Tho rivalry between the railroads

between horse and one of the pioneer
locomotives. which did not result in
favor OF the locomotive. The race was
