Mrs. Hattie Miller of South Da-
kota and John Duffield Of Garden
City, were quietly married at the
parsonage by Rev. Emery at Amboy
last evening. The bridegroom, who
is a dealer in fancy horses at Gar
den City, fooled his friends, telling
them he intended to go to Kasota,
and then went to Amboy, where he
met Mrs. Miller. After the cere-
mony, they drove by auto back to
Garden City to the complete sur
prise of their friends. Mrs. Miller
had been visiting at the home of
Mrs. r. Norton at Garden City, and
was formerly a resident of that
place, but lately lived in South Da-

W|CKERSHAM BUYS
HIS OWN STAMPS

Washington, Aug. IA For careful
supervision of department expendi-
tures-careful from his standpoint
Attorney General Wickersham prob
ably has something on most cabinet
Officers. 1t has long been the custom
of government officers to make use
OF the little emoluments which come
within their prerogatives. Thus a
cabinet officer would in most cases
believe himself entitled to use of the
franking privilege even when send
ing out personal letters. If he made
speech he would have the govern
ment printing office print it at gov
ernment expense.
But not so with Wickersham. If
| he addresses any member of his fam
! lily by mail he uses stamp which he
/ pays for himself. If he sends out any
mail matter which might under an!
| circumstances be construed as pri
vate business and not strictly con
cerned with the governments affairs
/ he pays for the postage. When h'
makes a speech and his friends senC
in for copies he has it printed at his
own expense.
1t is not so long ago that Secretar!
Knox was severely criticised by &
house committee for keeping his vale
on the payrolls of the state depart
ment as a messenger.

CAN \ PICKEREL HAVE
RABIES? MAN BITTEN
WANTS TO KNOW

Newton, y. Whether a fish can
have hydrophobia is the question that
Fred Henry of Brooklyn would like
to have settled and for that reason
he has sent to the Pasteur institute
in Brooklyn the mead of a pickerel
that bit him at Swartswood lake.
Henry was fishing in a boat when
he landed the pickerel, which weigh
ed three pounds. The angler was in
his bare beet, and when the pickerel
was thrown into the bottom of the
boat it fastened to one of Henry's
big toes, where it hung until he had
pried the fishs jaws open with a
landing net.
The toe started to swell. and Henry
thinks it possible that the pickerel
may have had hydrophobia and as a
precautionary measure he has sent its
head to the Pasteur institute.

BULlET-PROOF SUITS
FOR ARMY AVIATORS

Washington, Aug. 14,-Uniforms of
bullet-proof cloth, such as has re-
Gently been invented In Japan, will
probably be prescribed by the army
authorities for the corps of aviation,
1t Is learned at the war department.
The circumstance which will bring
about this order was the recent
wounding Of an Italian flying scout
who was struck high in air by an
Arab bullet while over Tripoli.
Capt. Monte is the name of the
Italian officer who thus gained the
distinction of being the first aviator
to be wounded by rifle bullet. He
was badly wounded, but gripped con-
troll If his senses and piloted his frag-
lie monoplane back to his own camp,
landing safely and delivering to his
commanding officer valuable infor-
nation of the enemy which ne had
gained on his flight. His machine
was hit four times by the enemy's
duck hunters"
Capt. Monte also succeeded in drop
ping some damaging bombs in the
| Arab ranks.
His experience, however, has DEM
onstrated to army scientists study
ing the needs of military aeroplaning
the necessity of better protection foI
pilots against rifle fire from the
ground 1t is probable that in the
near future the avlator's seat in al
army aeroplanes will be protected
with light armor from firing from be-
meath There will also be an investi'
cation Of the bullet-proof clothing re-
Gently brought out in Japan, with tho
idea of adopting some such sort o
uniform for the members of the sig
nal corps.

CONGRESSMAN LOSE
MUCH OF "B|GNESS'

Washington, Aug. IA -"Officers of
the government departments stand in
less fear of congressman and senators
than they used to-" observed the pri-
vate secretary of cabinet officer
lately.
TT was not SO long ago that
congressman coming into a depart
ment and approaching a chief of a
bureau looked like an awful big man.
Lots of times he didn't need to come
at all to get what he wanted. He'd
Just sit at the telephone in his office
and call up the head Of the bureau
When the government employees found
out that a congressman was at the
other end OF the wire there would be
a great commotion. The chief ana
his assistants would work themselves
into a proxysm of energy to get the
statesman anything he wanted. If he
wanted a star route established by
the postoffice department. he got it
If he wanted constituent transferred
he got it. If it was impossible to ac-
| cede to his demands profuse apollo
| gies and promises were Offered in lieu
/ thereof.
But now it's different. If con-
gresham wants something he puts
his application in in the regular or
der. Nobody tears the office upside
down If he approaches He waits just
as long for an interview as anyone
else gets the same treatment and M
distinction lis, made. Government
clerks. haye got wise to the fact ina

proposition after ALL -

ran surprisingly strong and disap-
pointed the Deneen managers in this.
Democratic Senators Probable.
Illinois may sent two Democratic
senator's to Washington next year.
The Democrats have captured con-
troll of the house of representatives
of the Illinois legislature, it is
thought, and have increased their rep
resentation in the senate. Control
of the latter chamber still is in doubt,
but the big lead in the house gives as
surance that the party will have a
plurality of the joint ballot of the two
houses and be able to dictate the
choice of the two United States sena-
tors to be elected In January.
James Hamilton Lewis is the Demo
cratic candidate to succeed Senator
Shelby NJ. Cullom. Mr.. Lewis having
received the Endorsement OF his par
ty for the choice without opposition

In filling the vacancy caused by the
expulsion OF William Lorimer from
the senate the legislature will be free
to make its own selection, inasmuch

to express themselves in the matter
OF a primary election.

THE VICTORY.

The election of Wilson and Marshall
is more than partisan victory, 1T is
prominently a peoples victory. They
stand for true old time democracy and
its application to present day needs.
They were elected by the votes of dem
ocratic democrats, progressive republi-
cans, and independents And Governor
Wilson we'll and truly said on the eve
of election Government is an enter
OF mankind, not of parties. The vic
tory should be made complete by re-
storing representative government to
the people.

New York, Nov. G.--W Woodrow Will
son, whose experience In active politics
Is only a little more than two years
old, will be the next president OF the
United States
He carried thirty eight of the forty.
eight states He will have a vote of
412 out OF h3i in the electoral college
lag more than enough to elect, and
majority Of 293 over all his compoti
tors.
His popular majority in the states
he carried is indicated to be 2.149. 900
His plurality over the pmralities OF
Taft and Roosevelt Is 1,1S2,000.
Colonel Roosevelt ran second, and
the returns indicate that he will have
10o electoral votes. The early re-
turns also show that he carried six
states--lllinois, Pennsylvania, Iowa
Kansas, South Dakota and Washing
ton.
Taft's indicated electoral vote is
seventeen from four states--New
Hampshire, Rhode Island, Utah and
Vermont.
Returns Come Slowly.
Returns from any of the western
states, from which any accurate no.
ton can be obtained of how the states
OF the plains and beyond the Rockies
have voted for president and vice
president are exceptionally slow
in arriving. The ballot machines of
Minnesota have rebelled against the
liberties taken with them by the split
tiers of tickets and legal question
has arisen as to whether votes put
into them after Q o'clock, the hour for
closing the polls. are legal votes.
New Mexico. which the ProeressIves
thought as sure for Roosevelt, has
apparently been carried by Wilson.
California is safely for Roosevelt, but
North Dakota, which the Democrats
thought was safe for Wilson, seems TO
be equally divided between Taft and
Roosevelt.
Wilson Has Electoral Majority.
But in spite of the slowness OF re-
turns from the plains and mountain
states OF the west there seems to be
no doubt that Woodrow Wilson. witt
the solid south and the solid east, or
almost the solid east. behind him. will
not only have plurality OF the popu-
lar vote. but will have a majority In
the electoral college.
Results in the several states are
summarized as follows:
New York-Carried by Wilson with
between 10000 and 100000 plurality
Congressman William Sulzer defeated
6traus and Hedges for governor.
Illinois-Roosevelt Is victorious by

Plurality Is Somewhere Over
10000
FAVORED BY COUNTRY AND CITY
Harlem River with Large Ma.
jority for First Time in
Many Years.

New York, Nov. 6.-Wilson and
Marshall have carried New York
state by a plurality of anywhere from
10000 to 100000. 1t is impossible to
give close figures to indicate the Dem
ocratic presidential sweep of the
state.
For the first time in years, a Dem
ocratic presidential candidate has
come down to the Harlem river with
a plurality to add to his own plurality
in the greater city of New York. Will
son and Marshall seem to have out.
run both Roosevelt and Taft in the
Republican stronghOlds beyond the
northern barriers of the Democratic
city of New York.
Sulzer Wins Governorship.
But the Democrats this year have
seemed to stop at nothing. Congress-
man William Sulzer has knocked the
spots out of both Oscar Straus, his
Progressive opponent, and Job
Hedges, the Republican standard
bearer. MIR Sulzer has a plurality of
something like 100000. Wilson has
probably carried the greater city by
not far from 900.
New York, in addition to choosing
Democratic candidates in the state
and nation. has put the Democrats in
power, apparently, in both branches
of the state legislature.
1t looks as if the New York state
senate would stand thirty-three Demo-
gressives and Socialists, if the Pro-
grsessives and Socialists, if the Pro-
gressives and Socialists have elected
any members of the state senate. The
lower branch of the state legislature
will be almost two to one Democratic.
Indications are that the lower
branch of the legislature would stand
100 Democrats to fifty Republicans,
and any other parties that may have
elected assemblymen.
