NEW YOR4A, Nov. 4,-With the
close of the campaign tonight old
time politicians were today discussing
the wind-up with feelings almost akin
to awe, and wondering what was vet
to come, Never in the history Of the
United States has fate seemed to
play such part as 1t has in the con
test now ending. Attempted assas-
sination and death have tnterfered
with plans of the leaders. The party
in power goes before the voters To-
morrow with only single candidate,
the vice presidential aspirant having
been removed by death only last week.
In addition many Of the COMPRESSION.
al aspirants have been kept out OF the
campaign by illness while a number
have died as the result of the siren
nous battle they have been forced to
make. The two big tragic events, nat
|urally, have been the attempted mur
der of Colonel Roosevelt, the progress
sive presidential candidate, and the
death of Vice President James School
craft Sherman. Then on the very
eve of the election Governor Wilson
had almost as narrow an escape al
had Colonel Roosevelt and today i
wearing big bald spot and severa
inches Of surgical plaster over
scalp wound which might easily hav
been o fractured skull. As Roosevelt
was saved by his speech and spectacl,
case, SO Wilson was saved by hi
heavy cap which broke the force o
the blow when his head struck thu
top iron OF his automobile with
heavy blow as the car struck buml
in the road.
But both candidates are in fin
shape for the wind-up and Will
Roosevelt was addressing the voter
of Long Island this afternoon an
evening, Wilson was telling his ma
tive Jerseyites how to mark thei
ballots tomorrow.
The universal sorrow over tn
death of Vice President Sherman ha
mot subsided and his successor, who
lis said, will undoubtedly be Governo
Hadley Of Missouri, will not be name
until a wtek after election Is over.
OF the congressional candidates VIII
have succumbed two have droppe
out through death during the Las
week. They were Congressman Cor
nell OF Poughkeepsie, N Y, democrat
and Congressman Butler of Rhod
Island, republican. In addition man
orators were forced from the stun
by illness and the campaign manaf
ers admitted today that the casualt
list was the greatest on record.

ROAD IMPROVEMENTS
WERE TALKED ABOUT
Commercial Club Committee
Presents Plan to County
Commissioners Today.

At a joint meeting of the CONNER
cial club committee on good roads and
the Wayne county commissioners, the
proposed rules to govern road con-
struction and care were presented and
discussed. The Commercial club COM
mittee, consisting OF A. ID. Gayle, Char
les w. Jordan and III. A. Dill, advocat-
ed that the best results could be OBJ
tanned by the commissioners if they
would use the rules drafted by the
Indiana Good Roads association.
These regulations were drafted by
the association and endorsed by the
State County Commissioners associa-
ton and it is optional with the county
commissioners of Indiana whether
they accept them. Experts hired by
the state suggested the regulations
which the Good Roads association ad-
opted.
The county commissioners were
pleased with the report of the asso-
citation and said that they are willing
to work with the Commercial club for
the improvement of the roads Of the
county. The commissioners did not
adopt the rules of the association, as
they want to study them. The need
of a new road roller was explained
to the committee by the commission
ers and an appeal will be made to the
county council for an appropriation for
this article.
The matter of bringing a govern
ment inspector here to inspect the
roads and make suggestions as to the
best method for their repair and main
tenance, was also considered. The
Commercial club Is making inquiries
at the department of agriculture al
Washington as to the expense of such
an inspection.

HE LOST HIS WIFE.
Douglas Scott browns Sor-
row in Whisky.

Despondent because his wife refus-
ed to live with him after he had pur-
chased furniture and fitted up home
for her, Douglas Scott, colored, i'm
bibed too freely from a whisky flask
at Fountain City yesterday.
He was taken to Richmond and
fined IS and costs in police court to-
day. His wife is a sister of Milo Bur
den, a negro, sent to the county Jail
for drawing a revolver on Walter
Bragg in Fountain City. The Burden
family, it is said, did not approve OF
the match and were instrumental in
separating the couple.
How Scott and Burden will treat
each other in the county Jail is caus-
ing the authorities some apprehension.
An enmity between the men exists.

CUBAN SITUATION
IS CRITICAL ONE
Negro Uprising Feared and
American Marines May
Be Landed Soon. J

WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.-Ameriean
marines will be landed in Cuba within
the next II hours unless conditions on
the island improve materially This in
formation was obtained at the state
department today following the re
ceipt of dispatches from Minister
Beaupre at Havana. The present. stu
alton in and around the capital is con-
sidered to be far more serious than
It was last winter when $500 marines
were rushed to Guantanamo and half
q dozen battleships laid off the coast
aweing the rebels with their big guns.
The preponderance Of the negro ele-
ment in Havana and the probability
that the blacks will rise and attempt
TO sweep the unprotected whites be-
fore them is the fact that is causing
most worry to Washington officials.
Reports from Havana indicate that
there are at least 10000 negroes march
ing through the capital and apparent
lily awaiting merely the match of liquor
or oratory to kindle their hatred for
the whites.
At the first sign Of such an outbreak
the state department is preparing to
rush warships to Cuba and land ma
trines and sailors at Havana. The bat
itleship Idaho, now at Hampton Roads,
probably will be the first ship to move
toward Cuba, while the gunboat Anna
polls will be pressed into service to
transport marines from Nicaragua to
IGuantanamo. The Cuban elections
take place next Friday and it is feared
.the negro outbreak the first of the
week, it being the policy of the con-
servative party to stir up anti-Gomez
sentiment to defeat the liberal ticket
Acting Secretary Of State Wilson will
confer with President Taft tomorrow
morning 1t is freely stated here that
the exigencies of the Cuban situation
caused the president to curtail his va.
cation.
Five persons are now dead at Ha-
Sana as the result of rioting yester-
day.

there was much handshaking and confu-
sion for several minutes, In the end Small
won and they all learned his grip. And as
BY that time the hour for dinner was near
at hand the first meeting Of the Junior
-Four was adjourned, subject to the call Of
the secretary. Kid, still smarting a little
under Mans aspersion o.. his knowledge
of Latin, wanted to adjourn sine die, and
had the pleasure of explaining that sine
die meant without day" Small said IL
sounded more like without sense" and re-
fused to adjourn In any such manner. Nan
cautioned them that 1t would be best 10
avoid suspicion, and 10 this end they left
the stable one BY one at minute intervals;
all except Small, who, left to the last, re-
fused to freeze to death for any principle
or cause and snesked out long before his
time was up.
All this was on Thursday, and for the
rest Of the day the Junior -Four stayed
very close together, not knowing at what
moment the upper grade fellows might
tire Of their present attitude Of aloot
contempt and indulge in violence. By
the time afternoon school was over the
day students had learned of the situation
and had already begun to take sides, and
BY the next noon the school was sharply
divided into two camps. The rivalry be-
tween house students and day students
was for the time forgotten, and upper
grade fellows FASTENED to the support Of
Ben and his cohorts and lower grade
boys hocked to the standard of Bert and
Lanny and the others. Being at last
forced to cLoose sides, Cupples and Gran
DAN threw in their lot with the revo-
lutionists, and with their enlistment the
last semblance of peace vanished. Every
room was divided against itself, for every
room was occupied by an upper grade
and a lower grade fellow. The second
floor of the house these evenings wa,
strangely quiet. To be sure, when study
hour was over the lower grade fellows
managed TO get together somewhere,
while Stanley Pierce's room became the
regular meeting place of the enemy. But
as these meetings were generally councils
Of war the usual chatte. Of voices and ring
Of laughter were missing. The first real
engagement of the opposing forcee oc-
CURED on Friday afternoon and resulted
in a victory for tie revolutionists, as you
shall see.
