ceive a vote. and in a number of pre-
ciEcts his vote was one or two.
In actual number of votes received
Judge Dana led all candidates with
SO2S Weightman was close behind
with 1918. Judge Whitcomo was
next with 1851, and was followed by
John F. Eby with 7,79S, ana JACK
Campbell with 1856. None OF these
men had opposition, however, except
Weightman.
On several of the candidates the vote
was close. For q time it looked as
though L. L. Kiene, c. G. Blakely, Geo:
B. Frost and Fred E. Nipps might All
be defeated. Kiene, however, rallied
toward the close of the counting and
won by 500 votes. BIakely was elected
over Dr. a. c. Sloan by SOB votes, and
Nipps finished with just the same ma
jority over J. H. Ulsh. Frost was elect
ed over Tim Donovan by 426 votes
From the beginning of the counting
IT was evident that it would be horse
race between Ernest r. Simon and W.
E. Atchison for county attorney. BY
daylight yesterday morning 1t seemed
probable that Simon was defeated, but
also seemed certain that the majority
either way would be very small. The
final figures gave the contest to Atchi-
son by the narrow margin of 1856 votes.
Other candidates for county offices won
easily, with majorities ranging up close
to 5000 votes, Swayze defeating John NJ.
Cleveland Dy Il majority OI @,Sff-
Stubs lost the county by 1918 votes.
At the same time Capper carried the
county by 1877. The difference between
the two men, nearly 1900 votes, bears
out the assertion that with many men
it was anything to beat Stubbs.' Cap
per and Stubbs belonged to the same
class politically. Both were pronounced
Progressives. Yet Stubs was heavily
defeated and Capper won. The only ex-
PLANTATION offered is that :, 600 men voted
for Capper because he was home man,
or that they needed the cry, Anything
to Beat Stubbs," and voted accord
ingly.
Wilson carried the county easily with
1,460 votes over Taft and 1856 votes
over Roosevelt. Roosevelt was accord
ed a plurality over Taft of 405 votes.
Congressman Anthony was given a ma
5ority in the county Of 1866 votes, as
surfing his election. Troutman, for state
senator, won over s. z. Barber by 1,094
votes.
Election officers declare that the votes
were scratched worse this year than
almost any time in history. The Re

Ais Lewis, for insurance superin-

majority of 2,134. All other state can

For county office the ticket was led
by Judge A. w. Dana of the first di-
vision of the district court, who had
no opposition. Matt Weightman.
county treasurer, however, holds the
honor of leading every candidate who
had opposition. Weightmans total
vote was 1918, q majority over J. a.
Davis, his opponent, of 1854 votes.
This was a splendid tribute to the
courtesy and efficiency of the treas
urer during the year he has held Of

Oscar Swayze, for county clerk, was
next to Weightman in point of ma

DEAFNESS,
HEAD NOISES
New Book ON New Method, How 10
Recover Hearing without Drugs
or Electric Devices.
MESSAGE OF HOPE AND JOY
TO ALL AFFLICTED PERSONS

There is hope of a we'll based kind
which SHOULD bring 10y and ultimate
contentment to multitudes of persons
who have been troubled for years with
deafness or head-noises.
DIR. Coutant, an able specialist, has
evolved newly perfected method for
treating cases where the hearing is not
perfect or where the sufferer is ha-
raised by ringing, roaring, buzzing or
other disaSreeable noises in the head
1t appears that about 80 out of every
hundred cases are from causes amen
able to proper treatment.
DR.. Coutant does not advocate the
use of drugs or electricity. He relies
chiefly upon cooperating with nature
in bringing about a speedy and effect
ual cure of morbid aural conditions.
Remarkable cures are reported. Many
of them being in the cases of deafness
that have existed for 20 or 40years.
With the description given in his
newly published book, the learned doc
tor provides a long series of letters
written by persons who had been
given up as hopeless, and who were
speedily cured at home without loss
of time and without inconvenience by
DR.. Coutant's natural Home Method.
Anyone who is interested can write
to dozen or hundred of the persons,
who. not long ago, were victims OF
deafness or head-noises Cor both). ana
themselves as marvelously benefited or
completely cured.
DIR. Coutant is not one of the ire
sponsible quacks of which there is such
a large number, but is reputable, re-
sponsible, licentiate practicing physi-
clan with a third of a centurys active
experience.
The doctor believes there are many
readers of the Topeka State Journal
who are troubled with deafness, etc,
who might be permanently freed from
their inability to hear and from tinni-
tus (noises) if they would do as others
have successfully done, merely follow
ing the advice given.
The book which any State Journal
reader can obtain from the author, DR..
George Z. Coutant, 47S b, Station E,
New York. n. Y, has been declared
by many to be worth it's weight in
gold One needs only to write for it
and the treatise will promptly come in

COUNTY RESULT
Shawnee Stood Firm Against
Democrat Landslide.
Simon and Stubs Only Repub-
1icans to Lose County.

Final returns in Shawnee county
show that every Republican candi-
date for county offices was elected
except Ernest r. Simon for county
attorney. Simon was defeated by 136
votes on the final, unofficial returns
by Judge William r. Atchison, his
Democratic opponent
Some of the races were close, show
ing that the normal Republican ma
iority has been cut to a consider
able extent. This was applica BILE,
however, in a general way more to
the state ticket than to the county
candidates. Charles Sessions for
secretary of state, easily led the tick
ct on the vote for state officers He
received total vote in Shawnee coun-

the normal, being 2,51O. Next to him

Moral Failures.
More teachers and pupils are fail

deficiency. The way to attack fail
ure is first on the moral side. Moral
human effort to grow where one grew
before.
..All plans for greater efficiency in
education, which do net stress the
moral side, leave Hamlet out of the
play. The development of moral char
acter is the first step leading to full
intellectual growth. Character will

THE GROWTH OF THE COLLEGE.

Primarily the work of Alma College lies in that de-
partment which requires high school graduation for adj
mission and which coners upon such students doing four
years of satisfactory work the bachelors degree 1t has
exactly the same function the department OF Litera-
ture Science and Arts of the University of Michigan
which is the college department of that institution In
harmony with the real function of the college the Com
mercia School discontinued and likewise the first two
years of the Academy.
An examination of the statistics of attendance in the
college department of the institutions in this state ncud
ing the college department of the University shows that
during the past twenty five years the attendance in the
college department at Alma has increased at much
faster than in any other institution in the state The
average attendance in the college at Alma during the
past years is 65 per greater than the for
the preceding ten years Corresponding figures for other
college departments range from per cent to forty five
per This steady and healthy growth is strong
testimony for Alma College. 1t is also matter OF en-
enlargement that large number who expecting to
stay but two years have decided to remain with
their classes and graduate from Alma
Our friends may greatly increase the usefulness OF
the college by encouraging young people of ability and
character to enter Alma College.

CAMPUS IMPROVEMENTS.

1t is quite generally known that definite plans for
the future development of the campus made for the
college by Mr. A. B. Yeomans landscape architect of
Chicago. Gradually these plans are being carried out,
although several years may elapse before they
pletely realized On College Day students and faculty
advanced these plans at least step by trimming trees
and by planting other and shrubs designated in
the plans
The new gate to Davis Field, the gift of Mr. Chas.

ILLUSTRATIVE MATERIAL IN HISTORY AND

Not long since through the generosity of Mrs Sarah H.
Lancashire and Mrs Francis King of Alma, the histori-
cal department able to purchase fifty charts-and
just recent y-agan through the generosity of Mrs King
have been able to pictures of old
omsts to adon the walls of the Economics We
have of Adam Smith, two of John Stuart Mill of
Ricardo, and each of the great German economists
Turner and Schneider.
These pictures secured through the courtesy of
Professor Smaey of Ann Arbor who spent considerable
time in Europe last summer in search of these pic
lures for the University of Michigan
They will be much more than ornaments they
will stimulate to study. If students to know the
great contributions which these have made the
science of political economy, they will know great deal
about the subject.
