Unusual Entertainment
at Caughren Nov. Il, %
Jimmy Dawson, Magician and As
ISOLATED Artists Will Present
High Class Bill

Jimmy Dawson, the magician,
and his troupe of vaudeville artists
will appear at the Caughren thea
tire Thursday and Friday evenings
of next week, Nov. 22 and %. This
company comes to Sank Centre
wonderfully well recommended by
the press in the cities of the north
west in which they have recently
appeared.
The variety Of the acts precludes
any possibility Of firing the aud
fence, and the character of the diff.
ferent acts is high indeed. The
Campbells are giving musical en-.
tertainment that can usually only
be heard in cities many times larg-
er than ours
"Reddy" Leonard, who has beer
demonstrating his ability as con
tortionist and acrobat, is far above
the average in his work, and night.
ly draws many on the strength Of
his act alone.
The feature Of the show, how
ever, is Mr.. Dawson himself. In
farce comedy numbers he is very
good, but his acts Of legerdemain
are more than one could possibly
expect from show many times
larger. As a magician, Mr.. Daw-
SON compares favorably with Black
stone and Thurston in his ability to
produce illusions and "pull" feats
Of magic that are most battling.

GAS TAX DIVISION

Resulted in Increased Tax
Amendment Lost

st. Paul, Nov. 14.-With only
15 scattered precincts unreportei.
little hope was held by proponents
of the gasoline tax amendment
"Wednesday that belated returns
would prevent defeat of the, meas
ure. Tabulation indicated that il
would fall short of passage by ap-
tproximately 0,000 votes. Earlier
figures on the amendment, COM
piled on the basis of returns re-
ceived late last week, indicated
that the proposal would be adopte1
by comfortable margin.
Returns from 3,747 of the state s
1892 precincts late Wednesday re.
ported 541,629 affirmative ballots
on the amendment, as against
1885, negative votes. A major
ity of the total vote cast in the
election, however, is necessary to
insure passage. The total vote will
approximate 100000, the largest
ever cast in the state. On this bas-
is, approximately 100000 votes for
the amendment would be required
When the total vote cast in all
but five of the states 81 counties
had been calculated, the figure was
/ ,077,1 77ywith the vote in Koochi-
ching, Marshall, Murray, Otter
Tail and Rice unreported. In those
counties, It is estimated, the total
vote will exceed $4,000 making the
grand total around 100000.
The missing precincts are one in
Douglas county, nine in Koochi-
ching, two in Lake of the Woods,
one in Murray and two in Ott1,
Tail. It is believed impossible
that these Is precincts will give
the necessary $4,000 or more votes
for the amendment which would
give it majority of the votes
cast. ,-- -. -.. -

Whoops for Hoover
Folks Who Knew President-Elect
in Knee Pants Hold Big
Celebration

West Branch, Iowa, Nov. 81
Herbert Hoover's home folks cele-
brated today. The men and wom-
en- who knew him as a lad in knee
trousers, the doctor who attended
him as a babe the women, who
taught him when he first started to
acquire knowledge that will lead
him to the White House, and the
Etownspeople who bask in the glory
which reflects on those who live
where the president-elect was born
rejoiced in the election of their
Quaker boy. ,--.. ....-
From all about the county came
these folks who helped mold the
character of the boy who was to be-
come Americas chief executive.
They released their feelings up in
noisy parade that wound up in
the front yard of the old Hoover
homestead and then listened while
speakers praised the president
elect. There are only 800 persons
who call West Branch their home ;
three times that number joined in
today's celebration. -
It was early morning when the
joy-making started. Explosions of
bombs started the citizens on the
noisiest and merriest celebration
this Quaker town has known.
The children of the folks with
whom Hoover played and studied
at the West Branch school were
the first to hear the praises of the
president-elect. To them Governor
John Hammill and Lieutenant Gov
ernor A. w. McFarlane reviewed
tthe early life of Herbert Hoover
and compared the opportunities
which await them to that of the
man who swept into the highest Of
flee of the land by the greatest
number of votes in history.
DIR. L. j. Leech, the country doc
tor, who was close friend of Her
bert Hoover's family, had charge
of the ceremony at the home.
The Rev. G. w. Guy, a first
cousin of the presiient-elect and
pastor of the Friends church here,
where Herbert Hoover's mother
preached so odd years ago, offered
prayer. Elizabeth Sunier, of Iowa
City, Heover's first school teacher,
and Mrs. Mollie Brown Carran,
who taught him during his fourth
grade studies spoke briefly.
Governor Hanrmill to whom the
president-elect today sent telegram
of appreciation for the support
Iowa gave to his candidacy, and
Representative Cyrenus Cole, of
the fifth Iowa district, extolled
! Hoover in addresses delivered at
i his former home.

Totals 2.015.476 1.428.723

The Congress, both House and
U. s. Senate, will have an increased
Republican majority. Minnesota
gains one Republican member in
Congress, the Eighth district. At
ter March A, the Minnesota delega-
ton will consist of nine Republi-
can congressman, and one Farmer
Laborite; in the senate there will
be one Republican and one Farm
er-Laborite.
With the increased Republican
majority in the Senate the admin
istration will have clear major
ity even if the so-called farm
bloc" works with the Democratic
minority at times. Under the new
alignment Senator Shipstead, of
Minnesota will cut but little figure
in the Senate.
An analysis of the 100000 or
more votes cast in the nation shows
that 10000 of the votes received
by Mr.. Hoover placed in the prop
er states. would have given every
one of the sci votes in the elector-
al college to him.
