At soochow, China.

Soochow candidates, and the glory
was carried off by others. So, third
pagoda was built. this time in the
shape of a Chinese stick of ink. An
idol was placed in the pagoda, and
the sequel showed that the gods were
well pleased with the ink that was
now furnished to go along with the
pens! The next candidates from Soo-
chow were eminently successful, Not
only this, but two were elected to
posts of high honor. After that the
pagodas became an object of great
veneration. The number of sacrifices
to the idol was increased, and today
the Ink Pagoda is the most noted
landmark in all Soochow.

 East Side Turns to Republicans.
 Tn the Sixth district. East Side, where democratic majorities have been the rule for. some time, there was a desertion to the republican ranks, IS shown when most of the republican candidates led the democrats Dy from 5 to 6. Candidate Freeman did better than this, for he led Candidate Mahan by 15 votes. But Judge Kelly led Judge Barnes by one vote here for state senator. There were 3s4 electors on the list, but the vote on United States senator indicated that 2s6 ex- ercised their right of franchise, an uIl- usually large percentage.

 successful.
 Under what terms the peace will be effected cannot be said at this time. The problem is difficult and it will re- quire many days to reach an under standing that will be satisfactory to both parties.
 Charles Weeghman, president of the local Federal League club, has admit ted that he had held a conference with Hermann and that the question of peace was discussed and considerable headway was made. Whether he rep resented the Federal League is not known but as President Gilmore was not present at the gathering it is thought he did.
