JEFFERSON COUNTY
 GIVES UNDERWOOD
 CLEAR ASCENDANCY
Heflin Leads Short Termers. Gwin Leads Board of Rev. enue-Foster Won't Con-
 cede Musgr0ve's Defeat

Unofficial returns from all Jefferson county boxes with the exception of four or five last night indicated that Sena- tor o. w. Underwood had a plurality of first choice votes.
 The tabulation of actual figures shows that his plurality was slightly less than 800 votes. The remaining boxes to be heard from, 1t was said,
 would bring this down to about 123, where it is expected to be when the official count Is made.
 L. B. Musgrove had a plurality of
 41 votes over Senator Underwood in
 the Bessemer boxes, while the sena-
 tor carried the six Ensley boxes with ITS votes as against 691 boiled for Mus
 grove.
 In the city boxes Underwood led by
 tremendous majorities over both his
 opponents. In Beat 37, with two boxes
 missing, the count shows that Mus
 grove secured but GA votes while Un-
 derwood was given 1,674 In Beat 2f. practically complete, Underwood re-
 ceived 2,159 while Musgrove was counting SAP. West End boxes, Beat 9, went for Musgrove, who secured 927 votes there while Underwood totaled but s93.
 The result of the short term sena- torial race was declared to be yet in doubt last night, although 1t was in- sisted J. Thomas Heflin would lead
 the ticket with Capt Frank S White possibly a close second and Emmet O'Neal following closely behind White. ! Little attempt has been made to tabw

 state campaign committee, to- night continued to hold to his
 prediction of Tuesday night that Senator Oscar w. Under
 wood would have a lead of
 10000 votes over L. $. Mus grove.
 While complete reports are hard to obtain, Mir Hooper announced that the county chairmen were given enough in- formation to show that the first re- turns were being supported by the later ones.
 Returns on the short term race are very
 indefinite, though all indicate that J. Thomas Heflin holds a lead of several thousand over his nearest opponent, former Governor O'Neal with Frank $. White running third and Ray kushton fourth.
 DENT IS DEFEATED Reports from all counties in the Second congressional district indicate that Con- gressman s. H. Dent, Jr has gone down in defeat, Judge John R. Tyson of Mont- gomery being elected, according to these returns, which are supposed to give the complete vote of all counties except Will | cox. In Wilcox, Dent has small lead, l but 1t will not be sufficient to overcor1s . | the ma1orities of Tyson in the otl | counties.

MARKET REFOhT ON EGGS
Seattle. Sept. 3Oth.

The m arilet advanced two cts per dozen during the week and is exc edingly firm at the ad- vance.
 Supplies have decreased very radically due to the moultinr con oition Of the hens, as is al ways Gha cGse at this time of the year.
 The shipping denanl was extremely helvy this week, due to the last bout (the Victoria ) sailing for Nome and the last boats for down the Yukon riv- CT points, via Skagway.
 The demand the coming week should not b. so hetvy, but the market may be influenced some what by the very high New York market and some car lot shipments may be tempted that way.
