ELECTION RETURNs THRILL
HUNDREDS OF VOTERS HERE
NEWS WAS SHOWN FIRST HAND
on CANVAS OPPOSITE CITY
HALL THROUGH EVENING.

Through the efforts OF w. g. Nc
Claim funds were raised for taking
election returns of the presidential
election, and last night by seven
o'clock large crowd had gathered
about the bulletin board on West
Main street to get the returns as
reflected through stereopticon on a
canvas across from the city hall.
Although hope of democratic success
had vanished by the time the bulle-
tins ceased the service was duly APP
,rreciated by the vast throng which
read each bulletin with interest and
gave vent to their feelings when
they pointed to Wilson success.
The service by the Western Union
was all that could be asked and the
managers of the machine did good
work in preparing plates and show
ing the available results on the can
vass. In other words Waxahachie
patrons got the same service OF the
larger cities.

ASSIGNMENT Of HOMES
HAS EEEN COMPLETED

The big task of securing and
assigning homes for the Central
Texas conference, which convenes In
Waxanachie next Wednesday, has
been completed. The committee had
made thorough canvass of the city
and when the people of the town
realized the responsibilities faced In
entertaining the conference they re-
sponded literally just fas the COM
rlittee expected them to do. AS a
result homes have been secured for
all the delegates who are expected
to attend. The cards of notifi-
cation have been mailed to
the different preachers and lay
men who are members of the con-
ference. The committee advises that
inasmuch as the cards have been
rlailed it is now too late to make
any changes in the event such should
he requested.
This statement is made in order
for those who might desire to have
changes made to know that as the
delegates have been notified as to
where they will make their home
during the conference such changes
could not possibly be made. This
information will doubtless avoid such
telephone requests being made upon
the committee. The delegates are
expected to begin arriving Tuesday
raorning and they will possibly be
here through Monday.

The Pure Food and Novelty show
Is q very popular attraction as EVIL
denced by the great crowds that
thronged the two buildings on the
|south side of the square last night
The demonstration by the local mer-
chants have proven very delightful
and have been pronounced very eff
ficient ADVERTISING Visitors to the
show are well pleased with the novel
entertainment and especially pleas
ing are the original evening programs
given every night at 8 o'clock. The
program last night was the "Mer-
chants Parade given by twenty
five children in costume represent
ing the progressive advertisers at the
show. Each child brought forth
hearty applause at 1t appeared in
the parade.
As is usually the ease the "gift"
attraction is highly pleasing. The
two buildings we're simply damned
when the gifts were being awarded
Curtin Drug company gave a s1.00
box of candy, Pat Wilson gave a
sack of flour and a box of bacon
and Goodlett Grocery gave two cans
OF Del Monte goods.
Tonight the program will consist
of burnt cork production Punch
and Judy. which is sure to please
and delight all who attend.
The show is proving such a de-
lightful success that merchants who
entered into the agreement to place
exhibits there in a half hearted way
and who were dilatory in arranging
their displays are busy as cranberry
merchants today putting their ex-
hibits in place in order 70 reap equal
benefit with other merchants and by
tonight the show will be In fun sway
The attendance tonight promises to
tax the capacity of the buildings, in
fact the promoters already see that
their estimate of the attendance was
considerably less than IL really is. It
is estimated that 1000 people visit
ed the Pure Food show last night.

coNcoNULLY AND RUBY
MINING DISTRICTS

The Conconully and Ruby mining
districts are in the north central part
Of Washington, about 40 miles south
Of the Canadian border. The ore de.
posits were discovered as long ago
as 1886, but the production has beey
small, owing to the lack Of TRANSPORT
tation facilities, difficulty IN treating
complex ores, and the decline in The
price of silver.
The most valuable ore deposits in
these districts consist Of quartz veins
which occur in schists near the areas
of granite or at the contact of schisI
and granite. The ore minerals, py-
rite, zinc blende, chalco pyrite, and
gray copper, carry silver and "a little
gold. ..4
