ratio of little less than three
to one.
The revised official returns of few
outstanding precincts of the city will
not affect the unofficial total, in the
opinion of party leaders, other than
to swell the Republican count. Among
the outstanding districts of the city
are a few which always register
heavily as Republican.
1855 Nonpartisan
The nonpartisan registration this
year in both city and county is large,
too, as SS7 in the city and 1855 in the
county didn't state their party af-
filiation.
That this will help swell the Re-
publican total is the opinion of City
Chairman Harry f. Owes.
Bear this in mind. too" pointed
out the chairman. mot only is the
total Republican registration in city
and county practically three times as
great as the total Democratic vote but
the Republican total is nearly a third
larger than the combined Democratic
and nonpartisan registration. For
instance the total in county and city
is 1911; the combined Democratic
and nonpartisan vote in city and
county is only 12,43S.
More, Too
ITO the totals of course will neces-
sarily have to be added a lot who
will enroll at the county commission

said. These will include those who
were unavoidably absent from the
polls because of absence on the three
registration days or because of ill
ness"
The proportionate outnumbering of
the Republicans to Democrats in the
county outside the city is followed
out in the city districts, too. In the
county outside of Harrisburg, iust
1851 Republicans as compared to 326e
Democrats were enrolled, while 465E
were nonpartisan
In the city the total Republicar
registration on the three DAYS was
$3.50 while the Democrats could onl,
muster 1927. The nonpartisan regis,
tration was SS7.

that the town would be wiped out.
Many Flee From Town
many families have left Nansen to
seek shelter in the adjoining towns,
having given up hope of saving their
homes.
After hours of back firing it looked
as If the fires had been placed under
control, but late yesterday afternoon
a strong gale came which made 1t i'm
possible for the fire fighters to check
the flames, whfcn are rapidly eating
their way into Nansen.
During the last few weeks there has
been little rain in this section and as a
result the slashings and leaves, assisted
by a blazing Indian summer sun, are
proving to be easy prey for the fires.
The flames are spreading rapidly
toward the town of Russell City and
last night were only a mile distant
from that town, with virtually no hope
of checking them.
Reports from Brookston said that
the flames were within q quarter of a
mile of the town and that within one
hour would be in the borough. Calls
for help We're sent to Tionesta and
Kane and many went to the aid of the
district. Later one of the men came
back and said the town was doomed
and that the residents were fleeing.
Efforts to get into communication with
other towns in the district have proved
futile and telegraph and telephone
companies report that their lines are
down for miles.

polished dining room table?
win you also tell me if a spot can be
removed from grass fibre rug? c. I. G.
Virtually every expert whom L have
consulted in regard TO your first query
declares that the only really satisfactory
way to remove marks from table made
by hot dishes is to have the entire table
done over. If your table is a valuable
one, this is expensive.
One furniture dealer told me that he
had had some success in removing these
marks with an alcohol ball-which con-
sists or ball OF cotton or muslin well
saturated. but not dripping, in alcohol.
This. however. he declares, removes the
Tarnish and polish along with the spot,
and unless 1t is revarnished presents
dull, ugly appearance, just as undesirable
as the heat spot. The most practical thing
to do, therefore, in my opinion. is to have
an expert "do" your table.
II the stain on your rug is fruit juice or
a vegetable stain. a rug" man tells me,
disappointingly, that 1t cannot be taken
out, because these stains only respond to
a bleach, and bleaches, of course. leave a
light mark. Grease, however can be re-
moved with naphtha, ether, benzine or
refined gasoline. Care should be taken to
prevent ignition from friction or a flame.
