Far Away Orders.

Dropping into Ben Bears store
yesterday we noticed mail orders
for clothing from Wenatchee, Wash
ington and Promise City, Iowa, the
latter stating that he couldn't get
the same value anywhere as at
Bears. Another man from Cleve-
land, Ohio, said the SIS. 90 over
coat displayed was the best he had
ever seen for the money, and that
if he hadn't sent for coat for HIM
self he would buy one. That shows
what people outside of DEBORAH
think of the values given by our
square dealer.

Board of Superv ,sors Complete Of
fetal Canvass of Votes.
CARROLL 20,I42, HAUGEN Isl.
Figures from State and District are
Semi-OfficiaI, While Those For
County Show Final Count.

Since noon Monday the Board of
Supervisors have been engaged in
the official canvass of the vote at
the election of last week Tuesday.
Several irregularities were found,
not in the vote, but in the illegal
serving of judges of election and the
methods of making returns by the
judges and clerks, which brought
out Investigations and discussions,
and reports became current about
town that the vote of certain pre-
cincts had been thrown out, but this
is not the case, and the entire vote
stands, just as cast at the polls.
In the state, Governor CAROLS
plurality reaches 2O,422, When this
paper went to press last week all
reports and returns indicated the
election of Porter, the democratic
candidate, but this was based upon
returns from the river cities favor
ing the liquor plank of the democra-
tic platform, and as the country
precincts began to report, Carroll
gained steadily until his plurality
reached the above figure, which is
only 450 less than Cummins beat
Porter four years ago, the plurality
then being 20,S72. The entire re-
publican state ticket is elected, and
there is no change in the congress
ional delegation as to number, for
only one democratic congressman
has been elected, Pepper in the
second district.
In the district, it is very crafty
ing to the many friends of Congress
man Haugen in this county and
throughout the district that he won
out over Murphy First reports
like the governorship, were to the
effect that Murphy had been elected
but the exact returns showed a
steady gain for Haugen, whose plu-
rality is PSI. While this is small
it is enough to insure election.
i here have been rumors of a contest
by the democrats, though we do not
believe that these are we'll founded,
but that the election is conceded to
Haugen without objection. The fol-
lowing table shows the vote by coun-
ties in the fourth district, as unof-
ficially reported from the various
county auditors. 1t is reported that
Haugen lost so votes in the official
count in Allamakee, which if true,
will reduce his plurality to 231.

through the holding Of the worlds
championship lightweight prize fight in
this city Not only has the name of
the town been published in everX news

a crowd of approximately 10000 people
was brought here on the day OF the

gantic plans which have been laid TO
establish mammoth industries here.
The great plant of the Standard oil
company. the site OF the Pullman COM
pany's shops and the various other big
factories now in operation here excited
keen interest among the visitors, and
there were many inquiries as TO the
possibilities OF making advantageous
investments of capital in the city.
The Pittsburg of the Pacific coast

on the eve of the battle. and the nat

We decided 10 grant the permit TO
hold the fight in this town solely for
the sake of the advertising which we
expected the city to derive from the
