Many Fires.

Incendiary fires seem to be the or
der of the day in various parts of the
county, and will doubtless continue till
some one meets up with Winchester
ball placed where it will do the most
good. There were three fires started
this week in the vicinity of the Ben
son mine near Angels, one at nine
o'clock in the morning, one at eleven
O'Clock and another in the afternoon
of the same day, all without doubt of
incendiary origin. They were ex-
tinguished before much damage was
done. A man by the name of Brown
from Mokelumne water ditch saw a
man in the act of setting fires in the
Banner country last week. He shouted
to the man who ran through the brush
and escaped before he could be identi

A mysterious disease of trees and
shrubs in Paris has been charged to
road tarrlng by M. Forester, engineer
in charge of streets The effects
have been specially noticed in the Bots
de Boulogne, which magnificent avenue
is mile long and nearly 400 feet in
total width, with a central roadway
more than SO feet wide, two 40foot
sidewalks, and continuous line of
gardens on each side. Until within a
few years the varied collection of
trees, shrubs and other plants have
continued in fine condition. Since the
tarring of the roadway, however,
many trees have died, their leaves
becoming covered with brown and
white spotssand shriveling up as if
burnt, and brown and shrunken leaves
have appeared on many living speci-
mems of lilac, currant, Deu zia, chest
nut, maple and catalpa, while such
herbaccous plants as geraniums and
begonias have ceased to blossom.
Many of the engineers at the Brussels
Road Congress doubted that the tar
ring was the cause of the diseased
vegetation, in spite of the apparent
connection.
A novel and brilliant stage effect is

CAMPS carried as personal decoration

The use of motor-cars has been
found by H. T. Wakeham, an English
county surveyor, to have been attended
by an increase in cost of road main

10 years. In Surrey the increase
reached 1873 per cent. The low increase
of only per cent in Middlesex is at

pes Noines Nov lO-The enormous
increase in independent voting is given
credit for the fact that it is not easier
now to get and tabulate election re-
turns than in the days before rura!
phones and automobiles. X * fact
that will hardly be disputed in an,
newspaper office in Iowa tina; getting
election returns Is a more di.hcult
matter. and less satisfactory, now than
twenty five years ago.
Where the voting machines are in
use there is no way Of knowing no"
many persons voted Il straight ticket"
except by having the machine watch
ed. and this is not absolutely accurate
Some men Will spend enough time vot-
ing straight ticket ~ Others voting
for indiv idual candidates
But wnere ballots are used. the re-
ports indicate that very much larger
number of the voters may bee claSSed as
independent voters than ever before
1t used TO be- prior TO the secret ballot
system, that anywhere from 30 10 70
Der cent OF the ballots were straight
Tor one party or another. More re-
Gently, under the secret ballot system.
the proportion OF scratched ballots has
gradually grown to from 20 TO % per
cent.
But this year, IN many places fully
half the ballots We're scratched. The
independents voter Is becoming FREQUENT.
A great deal of misapprehenslon eN-
lists as to the completeness OF the ma
chanirey for getting returns AS u mat
ter of fact neither the republican nor
democratic state headquarters had. al
midnight Tuesday night, actual reports
from to exceed 100 precincts. BY noon
Wednesday they could not have got to-
gether and figured up on more than
twenty counties. giving majorities on
the head of the ticket This Was in
part due to the mixed character OF the
result and in part to the fac; that those
who did not much care how the cleo
err anybodl found 1t out. hence there
was surprising indifference as to send
ing in reports to the counties.
That the scratching was not all on
one side was evident by the returns. In
Perry, for Instance. where the railroac
men are numerous. sixty democratic
ballots We're cast in one precinct where
they all voted for the railroad candi-
dates for railroad commissioners in
| stead of standing by the party.

Doubtless Dead For Months.

Council Bluffs, Nov. 10.-The badly
in a cornfield near Thir,y-firs street
and Ninth avenue. about 200 feet from
the Union Pacific tracks yesterday af-
ternoon, by man who was husking
corn. The body was removed to an un-
dertaking establishment and the coro-
ner notified.
When found the body lay face down
ward, with the right arm extended
under the body. a bullet wound was
found under one ear. Under the right
hand lay a revolver, with chamber
empty.
The body was so badly decomposed
that ii was impossible to say with any
degree OF accuracy what the age of the
man was. but he probably was between
20 and 80 years old. He was about five
feet, six inches in height and should
have weighed about 1876 pounds.
The black felt hat found by the body
bore the label of Fort Dodge clothing
dealer, and coat mark OH his gar
ments was from Jackson. Ind. Beside
the body was black valiSe with some
clothing in it. but neither in the va
lise nor in the pockets OF the clothing
on the body were there any papers or
personal effects whereby the body
could be identified.
The last time anybody had been IN
the field prior to Wednesday was In
July. when the corn was last cultivated,
and the undertakes are OF the opinion
that the man must have lain where he
was found for some months, proba bly,
since July or August.
