AIDS WIVES OF PRISONERS

The duchess of Marlborough, who
has opened sale work in Sunderland
house in aid of prisoners wives, is
the busiest philanthropist in London
today She found time, however, to
cooperate in organizing a great pic
ture charity ball in Albert hall a few
days ago, in which she appeared In
Greek costume.
Every year the scope of the duch-,
ess' activities widens. She is SEEM
ingly unable to resist any appeal made
to her in deserving cause. For the
last few weeks she has made public
engagements every day in addition to
attending committees and making her
own rounds among her charges.
Sunderland house has become a CEN
ter of philanthropic undertakings. as
was Grosvenor house for a generation,
under the late duke of Westminster.

A Precinct Heard From.
TslItor VllgInian:

Sir,--I have just spent two days getting sig
natures in my precinct to the petition to The
governor 70 calf the election under the enabling
act. and say that If all other sections OF
the State like THIS one, there VIII be such
a landslide for prohibition in September as viii
give the blush TO West Virgiuias big
1ority. Only refused 10 sign the pc
utton and only one signer failed to declare
his intention TO vote dry. Many Of these voters
had been reading the liquor literature found in
tho Times-Dispatch and circulated by the
Local Self Government league" &c. but it had
made impression on them whatever. They
firmly opposed to that form Of special priyi-
lege heretofore enjoyed by the liquor dealers,
namely, to override the dry districts and coun-
ties and determined to put end TO it.
Local sef-government is precisely the thing that
the city liquor dealers have destroyed and at
tempted TO destroy in Virginia. and they are
going to be called into judgment for that very
thing next September.
That's the way the voters talk UP this way
and my Two days going about among them
has convinced me that 1t is only necessary for
oar workers to do their whole duty between
now and election day.

IGO ITEMS

On Wednesday afternoon of last
week fire occurred on the ranch of
Earl Stearman-oc occupied by H. W
Robinson-about six miles northeast
of town. The stable was burned down
and the buggy horse of Orvil Carton
was burned to death and the saddle
horse of Miss Evangeline Robinson
was badly burned. The cause of the
fire is mystery. Mr. and Mrs. Gar
ton and Miss Robinson were all in the
house at the time the fire was dis
covered and the children were in
school there being no one at the stable
at the time. The supposition being
that some one had carelessly droped
some matches IN the manger and that
the horse had rubbed them with his
bride bits and ignited them. At the
time that Mr. Robinson reached the
stable he found the horse of Mr.. Gar
ton down and i'm such condition that
he could not be released The horse
of Miss Robinson was released, after
he had been badly burned.
The election went off quietly and
good vote was polled.
Health good.

NOTABLE REPUBLICAN GAINS.

Republican gains were made every
where but the most notable changes
OF sentiment were recorded i'm the
manufacturing and farming commun-
tiles of the eastern and central states
Both the Democrats and Progressives
lost in those states The Progressive
vote, while dwindled to insignificant
proportions almost everywhere, was
still sufficient in many congressional
districts to give the election to the
democrats, and also aided them in
securing some senatorships. In In
diana the election of senator Is I'm
doubt. But for the vote given Bever-
idge the Republican candidate would
have had a large majority. This is
true in other states. Indianapolis. a
Democratic stronghold. went Repub-
lican by over 5000, the Republican
candidate for United States senator
polling as large vote as both his op-
ponents. In New York. Ohio, Penn
sylvania and Connecticut there was
a political upheaval that gave the Re
puhlicans sweeping majorties. Colora-
do elected Republican senator and
two Republican congressman. the first
time in almost a decade. The result
in Nevada is still in doubt Nevada
has not had Republican in congress
since the silver issue was forced to
the front in 1925. The latest reports
pointed strongly to the defeat of Sen
