TUESDAYS ELECTION

1 The balIoting on Tuesday in seyera
states show some Republican gains.
MARYLAND REPUBLICAN
Maryland for the second time since the
Civil War elected Republican Governor
Philip Lee g ,ldsborough, Republican
defeating Arthur Pue G)rman, Democrat
1t was a great victory. German waE
regarded as the strongest Democrat in
tile State MarylaLd's nphea-a al it is
claimed will have national effect next
year.
While Foss Democrat was elected
Governor, of Massachusetts, it was by
greatly reduced majority, and the Legis.
lature is safely Republican.
NEW JERSEY VICTORY
Returns show that the Republicans
will control both branches OF the legis-
lature next winter, Gloucester county
New Jersey which, according to re-.
turns was in doubt, elected Republican
senator, and this will make the Senate
stand IL Republicans to 10 Democrats.
The Assembly will be made up Of
approximately 38 Republicans to %
Democrats. Last years Assembly con-
sisted of AZ Democrats and Is Repub.
licans.
The Democrats elected about IL of
their II candidates for sheriff. The
election for assembIymen showed gains
from that of@@Iast fell elected Democrats
that were carried through nv Governor
Wilson ineoBneetion with his candidacy
for the governOrship.
The counties that last winter had
Democ. attic aRsembIymen but which will
next year be represented by Republicans
are Bergen, Essex, Gloucester, Morrss,
Somerset and Union.
The election is significant in the defeat
of q number of men whose election was
specifically advocated by Gov. Woodrow
Wilson in the tour he made of the state
during the last few weeks. Among the
defeated Democratic candidates are State
Senator Harry V. Osborne, of Essex
County, in whose behalf Gov. Wilson
made an appeal to the voters in Essex
county in an address that was published
Monday. Governor Wilson for Mr..
Osbourne's. election on the ground that
the senator last winter had been one of
the strongest supporters Of the Governors
policy.
NEW YORK SAFE
The Republicans in the state of New
York captured the only redonbt that was
possible to capture in this election. The
only state ticket in the field was the
Assembly ticket for election 70 the lower
house of the state Legislature. A year
aRo-the Democratic landslide year-the
New York Assembly sto1d 81 Democrats
to 63 Republicans. The returns at pre-
sent indicate that this year the Assembly
will stand: Republicans. 95; Democrats,
"a, Socialists /.
This means a stinging rebuke,
apparently, to the administration Of
Governor Dix.

HORSE STOLEN

Late last Friday evening when Mr.,
Fletcher Daniels who lives on theLeCompl
farm near Mt. Pleasant, came to get his
horse aud carriage which he had hitched
in front of Mrs. Peterkon's store, be found
it gone.
DO all he might to trace it, he never
heard from it until onSunday when it was
found turned loose on farm near Kirk
wood. The horse did not seem to be
harmed and of several fine blankets, but
one was missing. 1t 10 too bad this ever.
lasting horse stealing business. The courts
didn't think it of sufficient importance
even to bring young Anderson to trial for
stealing two horses, two carriages, two
sets of harness, and an evercoat!
Naturally horse stealing has become one
of the common incidents of eur town
life-expected every Saturday night at
any rate. But in one way the owners
have also themselves to blame for their
misfOrtures. For a little money, q steel
chain with lock, encircling the horses
neck and licked, to stont post, will
secure all such property absolutely from
either theft or borrowing. We consider
the risk uf team being thus taken is go
great, when hundreds OF teams are
hitched all aver town, whose owners are
known to but few, as to be impossible
of detection; but any one who cares to
safe guard his property, can easily do SO,
and what is more, ought to do SO.

MOTION PICTURES STILL GOOD

Mr.. NeWman's motion pictures are
keeping up the excellence they shovel
on their first appearance. He is iudicious
ly mingling matters of instruction witt
/ those of amusement. Il is an Invaluable
method of teaching by the best of ell
waygythat Of the '.obiect lesson. School
children can learn more in q few evenings
by seeing these Photographic scenes OF for
eign of travel, with the customs dress and
manners Of foreign peoples, than they
could get in weeks Of study from books.
Parents should by all means send their
children for they will get much useful in
formation besides lots of good amusement
and fun. Then all the "blue" people
should attend and laugh off their me-
grims. These funny films are medicine
TO such.
Mr.. Newman has shown this week some
very high class pictures such as the Tam
ing of the Shrsw, from Shakespeare; A
Sane Fourth of July.
He will give fine film on Saturday
evening, showing life at Atlantic City on
the comic side. He will also repeat ny
request the funny piece "Alkali Ike's
Automobile" thing SO painfully funny
It will make your sides ache to see it.
That's fact for we have seen it, and had
the biggest laugh for about Is minutes in
length, we have had in Is years! Go see
"Alkali Ike'' by all means. Its worth
half dollar OF any mans money. Will
save you a doctors bill maybe.
We might say that all Mr.. Nswman's
films are the best made. they come from
leading exhibition points elsewhere and
are, returned after use here, to other
places. Thus the Saturday films might
have been shown a week ago in Chicago
or Buffalo, and in week or go after their
showing here will reappear in Denver or
San Francisco &c.
