 Suits in Other Contests.

The unofficial returns in Jefferson county, with only one township, Tal- 1adega, which will poll only a few votes, to be heard from in the prose- cutting attorneys race, gives this coun- ty to Attorney s ]. Hunt over Attor ney T. Havis Nixon by 40 votes. Desha county is conceded to Hunt by Nixon by 21 votes, but Lincoln county piled up q majority of 362 for Nixon. Nixon charges frauds in the First ward in this city, where he says ne received more than 100 votes and asserts that ho has afTidayits to back up his state- ment. He says q recount of the votes in that precinct will give him Jefferson county by at least 200 maj- ority. Nixon carried every ward ey- eept the First and one township box in the city by good maiorities. He al- so carried eleven of the remaining twenty-one outlying precincts.
 The unofficial returns from Desha county give Hunt 296 votes and Nixon 275. The Lincoln vote as unofficial ly reported gives Nixon 640 and Hunt PTS. The returns in the three coun- ties show Nixon to have been nomi- mated for the office by majority of sol.
 This race was one of the most stubbornly fought contests in the ks1leventh Judicial District and Nix on,s victory was accomplished against great odds. He made an "Anti-Ring" campaign and withdrew and re-entered the race after signing an agreement with Judge w. D. Jones who was then his opponent, to also withdraw. Three days later Nixon re-entered the race and in speech explained his reasons for his reap pearance. Judge Jones declined to return, stating that he would not break his agreement Attorney s. J. Hunt was induced to make the race against Nixon, having announced on the night of Nixon and Jones' with drawal The campaign was on for weeks all over the District, during which time Nixon leased public play houses, gave free vaudeville perform ancs to the women and children and addressed the voters after each per- formance.

CARD OF THANKS
 FROM HAVIS NIXON

To My Friends in the 11th Judicial
 District:
 I take this method of advising you that I have received complete and confirmed reports from every polling place in all the counties of the Dis trict and on the face of the returns ! have won by 300 majority.
 A recount of the first ward of the city of Pine Bluff where I have been credited with 49 votes and my oppon- ent 239 votes we think will show q nl stake of at least 100 of my votes being credited to my opponent which will give us Jefferson by 150 votes and the District more than 800.
 base the hope of this change on recount on the fact that have affi- davits of 11S men who voted in that ward who swear they voted for me and every hour new names are be- ing sent to my office stating they SUD- ported me but did not register for me on day of election.
 This victory for me has been a most flattering one and cannot command language with which to properly express to you my feelings

Every effort to get some definite information that might lead 10 even reasonable forecast as to who will be elected in the contest for railroad commissioner in the Southern District was without success yesterday. Re- turns continue to come in from the various counties over the District but the returns are so incomplete that it is impossible to compile them satisfactorily
 Dr. J. l.. Caldwell stated last night that he was leading Mcknight and Robison, but he would make no pre- dlctlons as to his victory or defeat because of his inability to secure any definite information from all the thir- ty counties composing the District.
 Dr. Caldwell has information to the effect that he carried Lincoln county, by 200 majority; Ashley and Sebastian counties. It is figured that the country precincts will send in, big majorities for Mcknight, but the other candidates do not believe that these majorities will overcome the big vote from the cities and towns, which in many instances were largely in favor of Caldwell, Felsen- thai and Robison.
 Dr. Caldwell received a telegram from Fort Smith, Sebastian county last night, telling him that he had carried Sebastian county over E. L. Lake, Sebastian county man. by 20 votes, with a few precincts yet tC hear from. Caldwell received SAG votes and Lake, S20. Early in the afternoon telegram from Fort Smith gave Felsenthal, 36S; Robison 254; Mcknight, 273, and Clark, 129 The count was not completed at that time, however, and these figures vii be enlarged.
 At the Felsenthal headquarters ir Camden last night it was stated that the count had been completed 1T many of the Southwest Arkansa: counties and that seven of them hat given Felsenthal handsome majorit ies Their claims included Felsentha majorities in Dallas,, 150, Lafayette 400; Miller, $50; Hampstead, 15O Ouachita, $50; Union, 300 and Garland 25O. If these claims are based on com plete returns Felsenthal is undoubted ly leading in the ommissionership rae from present figures at hand.

LOSS IN HANDLING MANURE
Much Of Good Qualities Lost by Elk.
posure to Elements for Period
of Four Months.
(By ANTON G. wAGNER.)

(By ANTON G. WAGNER)
One of our experimental stations
has shown by careful Investigation
that when the stable manure is piled
up and left exposed to the rains the
loss from teaching of the fertile ele-
ments is very large. The New Jersey
station finds that manure exposed for
100 days lost over one-half Of the nj
trogen, one-half of the phosphoric acid,
the same proportion of the potassium
had been lost. More than one-half Of
the constituents had been lost by an
exposure Of less than four months.
Work from other experiment stations
confirms this.
A great deal Of valuable manure is
also lost in badly arranged stables,
where there are poor facilities for re-
covering the manure. The valuable
liquid manure Is lost by drainage.
The best way to save all the fertile
elements in manure Is to haul it on the
fields and meadows and spread it even
ly over the land. Washed into the soil
it is preserved for the next crop.
