REPUBLICANS WIN
N. MEXICO SENATORS
Although Complete Returns are Not In
It 10 Assured Party Controls
Legislature

Albuquerque, N. M, Nov. 10.-De-
spite the fact that two days and two
nights have passed since the polls
closed, complete returns from Tues
days election are not yet available.
Practically the only thing Of i'm
portance still In doubt, however, is the
size of the majority the republicans
will have in the joint assembly Of the
legislature which will elect two United
States senators. Returns so far indi-
cate that this will be in the neighbor-
hood OF ten.
The "blue ballot" amendment, de-
signed to make the new state consti-
tuition more easy of amendment, was
adopted. Democrats claim the major
tiles on the state ticket will run as
high as 1000, while republicans con-
tend that they will be In the neighbor-
hood Of 1000.

IN POISON CASE
DOUGLAS RHoDEN6AUGH CALM.
LY. DETAILS ALLEGED At
TEMPTS TO KILL HIM..

Northwood, Nov. 10. - Douglas
Rhodenbaugh was the principal wit
ness against his own daughter, Mrs.
Eta Larson, who was charged with
having attempted to poison him,
when the case was resumed before
Judge Clyde today.
He maintained the utmost stolidity
in the witness chair, detailing with
little show of emotion, the various
attempts to take his life, which he
laid at the door Of his daughter. He
said that in the latter part Of 1909, he
began to suspect that something was
going wrong with his food, particular
ly his coffee and tea. He watched his
younger daughter, Marion, and one
day accused her Of having tried to
poison him.
Marion ran away from home," the
witness said in response to questions
by Prosecutor Markle, "but found
her next day at Etta's home, hiding
first said that Eta had told her to do
It."
Rhodenbaugh detailed the effects OF
the poison upon him. He said the
paris green was placed in his coffee
four times and arsenic was put in his
tea once.
This afternoon w. A. Burnapet and
J. Mullen Of Clear Lake, handwriting
experts, were scheduled to take the
stand to identify the ten letters pur.
ported ito have been written by Mrs.
Larson, in which threats were made
against the life of Marion Rhoden-
baugh, If she told Of the alleged pois-
on plot.
Those letters were addressed to
Marion, and nearly every sentence
was burdened with Don't you tell on
me, for If you do we will kill YOU"
Another letter read, Don't go to
Mason City The lawyers will kill
you. They have been known to do
such things"

A Eli Of the Blues,

It is a hard saying. but 1.-The blues"
may generally be traced to one or both
Of two horrid qualities-greed and lazi-
ness. Nine times out Of ten the low
spirited person is suffering from auto
toxication-from too much food taken
into the body and too little attention
paid to elimination or to proper ezer-
else. The human mechanism can take
care Of only certain amount OF food.
After that point has been passed it
seems to turn sullen in its efforts to
ignore what it cannot help, and, al.
though it is a wonderfully conducted
chemical laboratory up to the limit OF
its own needs, it is not at all amiable
about working overtime. The result is
that all superhuous products sent to 1t
are permitted to lie round and become
poisonous. This poison is promptly
taken up by the blood and carried to
all parts Of the body, including the
brain. The brain, which needs plen-
tiful supply Of clean blood to enable
it to do its thinking. is naturally in.
6gnant at finding poor and impure
blood supplied to It, and. although not
actually going on strike, it refuses to
be either pleasant or reasonable

chamniea Eaa LAYERS.

Many insects are extremely prolific:
All Of the order Hymenoptera. the bees
and ants. lay large numbers, but they
are easily excelled by the order Plecop-
terra, the stone flies, one female of
which deposits from 5000 to G,000 eggs.
But the champion egg layers are the
insects embraced in the order Isoptera,
the white ants. DR.. Howard states
that these insects are called white ants
because they are not ants and because
they are not white, but he further goes
on to tell US that the females Of some
Of the African species grow to an enor-
nous size, and their abdomen, swollen
with eggs. becomes as big as large
potato. The rate at which the eggs
are laid is extraordinary, being about
sixty minute. or $4,000 and upward
a day.

How They Did Hate Wagner.

MADDOX Hueffer, whose father was
musical critic Of the London Times,

curious instances Of the lengths to
which the campaign was carried The
compositions Of Wagner were denounc-

Oxygen as a Cutting Teoi.

A jet Of burning oxygen from a
blowpipe may be successfully employ
ed to cut sheet iron, iron tubes and
small bars The cut made is almost
as sharp and thin as that made by Il
saw. In earlier attempts difficulty was
encountered in clearing the cut Of
liquid metal and in preventing the
spread Of the melting effect beyond the
borders of the cut In later processes
two blowpIpes were used. The first has
an ordinary oxyhydrosen fame, which
beats the iron to redness at the place
where the cut IS to be made. This Is
followed Immediately By the second
Jet, composed of pure oxygen. which
instantly burns the metal without
melting. The liquidiZed iron is blown
swiftly from the fssurc. so that there
is no serious spreading Of the heat to
surrounding parts.-St Louis Republic.
