AN EXCITING ELECTION
CLARK COUNTY VOTES "oRY" BY
II MAJORITY.
WOMEN OUT IN FULL FORCE
Springfield Voted "Wet," But Country
Districts Overcome the city's
Lead With "Dry" Votes.

Springfield, O.. Mar. 30.--With the
heaviest vote in the history of the
county cast at the polls in the local
option election, Clark county yes
terday voted dry" by II majority.
The result was in doubt clear up
until the last precinct was heard
from. The city had voted wet" with
A majority Of 1886 votes for the "wet"
The county. however, came in later
began piling up heavy maiorities for
the dry" and it was merely ques-
tion il the country districts could
overcome the big city lead, With
wet" precincts to hear from the
vets" had a majority of 107 votes
and an impromptu celebration was
being held by the saloon men. Sud-
denly a cheer went up from the booth
where the last precinct was being
counted on the edge of the town and
the "drys" showed ahead with a ma
Iority of 11S votes in the precinct.
This gave the "drys" the victory with
majority OF IL votes. The total
vote cast in the county was 1881.
The excitement during the day was
intense; women workers were station
ID at the polls to assist in getting
)ut the vote, and on every hand the
Fair ones were pulling at and en-
treating the voters to send the town
dry" Big banners were displayed and
in some precincts the school children
surrounded the polls to urge the vot-
srs to cast dry" ballots.
The order, considering the excite
ment attended to the election, was
good, although three arrests were
made for illegal voting, and in the
wet" wards a few women were in
suited by wet partisans. The negro
vote, contrary to expectations, was
up to the standard, and no attempt
was made to molest any voter, no
matter what his affiliations. The
election affects 81 saloons in the
county and three breweries.
Manager Huntington last night de-
clared that the wet forces will con-
test the election in the courts. He
states that they expect to prove
charges of fraud in the registration.

Bigger Than the Sun.

A minute parallax OF about one-slx-
tieth of a second of arc found for
Areturus by Dr. Elkin gave most
astounding result. This small paral-
lax implies distance from the earth
equal 10 about 100000 times the
suns distance. This vast distance
would produce dlminutlon of light of
about thirty-fve and one-fourth mag
nitudes, so that the sun placed at the
distance of Arcturus would be reduced
to a star Of only nine and three-fourths
magnitude II would not be visible
with an opera glass. Arcturus Is
therefore in round numbers nine and
one-half magniiudes, or over 6,0OO
times brighter than the sun would be
at the same distance. Assuming the
same density and brightness OF sur
face as the sun, the diameter of Arc
turns would therefore be about sew
enty-nine times the suns diameter, or
