vote ever cast in Nebraska. Poli
ticians are asking if Iowa or Colo
rado missed any votes. In 18SS the
combined vote on presidential elec
tors in this state was 201.000 in
round numbers. The total vote
cast for three candidates for su
preme judge in 1891 was 156. 0S0.
The largest vote cast in Nebraska
with the exception ot the present
year was in 1890, when 214. S61
votes were cast. That was the
year the prohibitory amendment
was before the people and every
vote that could possibly be gotten
out was cast. In 1892 the total
vote was 209.593. in 1S94 when Hol
comb and Majors were candidates
for governor, it rose to 210.547 and
fell in 1895 to 197.S11.
The official returns as tabulated
by the secretary of state give Gov-.
ernorHolcomb 116.415, and Mac
Coll 94.723. making Governor Hol
comb's pluralitv 21,692. In 1890
Richards, the republican candidate
for governor, received 68.87S votes:
Boyd, democrat, 71,331; Power?,
populist 70.187; Pain, prohibition.
3.676. In 1S94 Holcomb received
97.815. and Majors received 94.613.
The fusion vote cast this year for
Holcomb exceeds his vote of 1S94 by
18.600. MacColI received only 110
votes more than Majors.
The complete vote for governor
this year is as follows: Holcomb.
democrat and populist. 116.415;
MacColh republican 94.723; Bibh.
gold standard democrat, 3,557;
Hawley, national, you; baaiieK. so
cialist labor. .578; Warner, prohibi
tion, 1.560. The sound money dem
ocrats cast more than one per cent
ot the total vote, therefore under
the present law they are entitled to
nominate in state convention and
need no,t resort to the petition- plan
to get on the ticket.
Official returns as tahulated by
the secretary of state show that

Firsf-d?stnct was elected over J. H7

When I met Tommy first; his only
asset Wu3 a serious danger, for his five
underfed and underbred ponies were
about to be seized for overdue taxes. I
could net help Tommy with money, but
I tried to with advice. "Strike old Sam
Ashby for a couple of hundred dollars,"
I suggested. Sam, Ashby was one of tha
rich men of Helena, Mon., at that pe
riod and ran a small savings bank. Tom
my Crusa "tried old Sam Ashby.' All
he got, however, was some pretty free
talk, in which the banker assured Tom
my Cruse that he would rather throw
his money into the home of his satanio
majesty than loan it to such a drunken,
shiftless fellow.
Tommy Cruse got the money, how
ever. Three weeks later he located the
great Drum Lummond gold mine. He
know he had a big thing, but somehow
he could make nobody believo in his
mine. For years he worked at it, how
ever, liviug at times a dog's life.
Once, while talking to a friend of
mine, he fell forward unconscious. He
had not eaten a mouthful of food for
36 hours, aud yet, with dogged persist
ency, had worked on till he fell in Eis
tracks. At last his day came. He open
ed up a big vein and Lad 01,000,000 to
his credit in a gocd safe bank. Hard
times over, he decided to pose as a "sol
id citizen," so he opened a savings
bank iu Helena. Oue of the first men
to apply to Tommy Cruse, banker, for
a small loan was the one time banker,
old Sam Ashbynow less prosperous.
Then came to the old prospector the
happiest moment of his life, one that
wipea out all memory of starvation and
privation. For Tommy Cruse, showing

la there anythiug more charming in
this world than a nice, well mannered
boy? I dou't waut to be hypercritical,
but I must add, a3 I am a strictly vera
cious woman, that they are, alas, as
rare- as they are charming.
Such a boy, the well mannered gen
ius, thank heavens, I met not long
ago, and my instant thought was, What
a fine mother his must be. I know her
by reputation, a celebrated actress, who
has carefully shielded her private lifo
from the public, and my estimation of"
that woman immediately rose 5'0-de-grees.
None but a woman of culture,
refinement and true nobility of charac

est word showed rrspc-ct for women, in
nate good breeding, and, best of all, in
this day of affected skepticism among
the jeunesse doree, an honest belief in
the-existence of good among men and
women iu general.

An animal made of tin plate, of tho

three feet iu length, which crackles and
rustles with every movement, is one of
the latest acquisitions of the Zoological
society of London, Its name is the pan

to the same family group as the arma
dillo and platypus. It has escited great
attention at the zoo, for it is if we are
correctly informed the first animal of
the kind which has been exhibited

or white ants, are found, for tho animal
feeds on these destructive creatures and
possesses claws which are designed to

claws are also necessary for burrowing
