World's Fair Organization.
CHICAGO , Nov. 8. Director General
Davis and Secretary Dickinson of the
World's Columbian exposition have
issued a circular letter to the members
of the national commission , in reference -
ence to the citizens in various states
and territories organizing for the pur
pose of securing proper representation
at the world's fair , making arrange
ments for their exhibits , raising funds
and getting proper measures through
the legislature. Attention is called to
the commendable promptness with
which the people of the state of Cali
fornia held a state convention to inaug
urate the matter , and the legislature
of Iowa , appropriating $50.000 for pre
liminary expenses , with another ap
propriation to be made next year.
A state convention of citizens is com
mended as one of the best plans , and
permanent organization should be
effected to carry on the work in the
different states and territories. The
commissioners will be requested tot
visit the" legislatures this winter and
t
oise their best endeavors to see that
the plan of organization is adopted.

A Girl's Horrible Crime.
BUFFALO , N. Y. , Nov. 4. One of ,
the most terrible murders known in
the history of Erie county was com
mitted at Akron , twenty-four miles
east of this city. A young woman
named Sarah McMullen , aged nine
teen , enticed Delia Brown , aged six
years and Nellie May Connors , agedj
ten , to the Akron cement works nar-j
row gauge railroad bridge at a height5
of sixty-five feet over Murder creek.
All of a sudden she pushed them off ,
the bridge into the precipice below.
Nellie was instantly killed but Delia
Brown lives to tell the horrible tale ,
although terribly mangled. It is ]
thought she will recover. The mis-j
sing girls were found about 2 o'clock
this morning.
After committing the act Sarah Mc-j
Mullen returned to the house where ,
she was living and said : "I am going
away. Perhaps you will not see me
again. " She went to a milldam and1
jumped into the water but was seen
and rescued. No reason is assigned
for the terrible deed , and it is believed
that the McMullen girl is insane.
Lucky to bo Alive.
CHICAGO , Nov. 7. In an interview
in a local paper Chairman Jones of
the republican state central committee -
tee , speaking of the election , says :
tell you we will do well if we come ol
of this fight with our bodies. It is d {
to the school house issue. It is
well enough in an American ward
republicans to get out and make I
fight for the 'little re'd school housj
and that sort of thing , but it is not
practical politics this year. The
publican party in Illinois has enouj
to do to fig'lit the democrats alone wit |
out taking up all the 'isms' that coi
up. "

CHICAGO , 111. , Nov. 6. Messrs. Ar
mour , Swift and Morris , the three big
packers , have confirmed the reported
purchase of 3,700 acres in Lake coun
ty , Indiana , for stock yards purposes.
They paid on an average of about $180
per acre for the land , making a total
cost of a little over § 650,000. In an
interview Mr. Armour said : "The rea
son we have taken this move is to save
§ 4 on every car that is switched into
our present plant. Switching charges ,
are $2 each way , while down in the
new place the thing could be done for
50 cents. One million dollars put into
a plant there would be able to buck
against the $23,000,000 capital invested
at the Union stock yards. Work will
be begun in a few weeks and the yards
ought to be completed some time with
in the next two years. "
Dan Kelliher of Boston and the
Black Pearl of Minneapolis fought for
$1,000. At the end of the twentieth
round the fight was awarded to the
Pearl. KelliHer claimed a fowl , which
in all probability will be allowed.

lican state committee on unofficial re
turns received from seventy-five coun
ties and the remainder estimated claim
that the republican plurality on the
head of the state ticket will be between
14,000 and 15,000. The committee
concedes the defeat of McKinley ( rep. )
for congress by about 200 and Foster
( rep. ) by 75 or 100. The democratic
candidates in other close congressional
districts received majorities ranging
from 500 upward , except Cosgrovo at
Cincinnati , who is defeated by Storer
( rep. ) by 2,700. One of the most re
markable democratic gains was in the
Eleventh district , where Pattison
( dem. ) is elected by 8,100 , with a gain
of 1,500 over last fall's vote. The re
publican committee concedes that the
delegation to congress will stand seven
republicans and fourteen democrats.

claim the election of Poorman ( rep ) in
the Seventh district over Pearson.
Major McKinley said this afternoon ,
to an associated press reporter , that ,

a tariff for revenue only , clear and dis
tinct , and nothing else entered into
the canvass.

only one republican congressman ,
Haughen , in the Eighth district , who
has about 1,000 majority , and Bailey

Secretary Vilas to succeed Senator
Spooner. Peck ( dem. ) for governor
has a majority of about 30,000.
Missouri.
ST. Louis , Nov. 5. Yesterday's
election changed considerably the po
litical complexion of Missouri. The
democrats send a full delegation to
congress , with one exception. They
elect their state ticket and will have a
majority on joint ballot in the legisla
ture. Returns are coming in slowly
and several days will elapse before the
official vote will be given. The chair
man of the state democratic central

plete returns from fifty counties on the
head of the ticket received by the Reg
ister show a net republican gain of
5,135 over last year. If the gain con
tinues in the same ratio the state ticket
will be elected by 3,000 to 5,000 ma
jority with the possible exception of
railway commissioner.
Returns from one-third of the state
show democratic gains sufficient to
wipe out the republican majority of
two years ago and give a small demo
cratic majority. The congressional
delegation will stand as follows , as it
now appears : First , Seerley ( dem. ;
Second , Hayes ( dem. ) : Third , Hender
son ( rep. ) ; Fourth , Butler ( dora. ) ;

DES MOINES , Nov. 6. The state
ticket in Iowa is remarkably close.
Full returns from eighty-one counties ,
and the balance computed at the aver
age per cent ol the counties heard
from , show the election of McFarland ,
republican candidate for secretary of
state , by a plurality of 1,700. As Mc
Farland leads the republican ticket it
is probable that one-half or more of
the democratic state ticket is elected.
The proposition to call a convention to
revise the constitution is overwhelm
ingly defeated.

voite with the republicans.
New York.

PARIS , Nov. 5. Pere Hyacinthe hat
commenced a campaign against cler
icalism in his own church with a vigorous -
orous address. He said that the re
public was firmly established , but aftei
leaning toward Atfeeism there was now
danger of its lapsing into clericalism.
The pupils of the Jesuits , he said ,
were beginning to swarm in the mili
tary colleges , and the republic threat
ened to become a clerical government
after the most bigoted pattern of the
South American republics. He thought
this was due to the republicans shut
ting their eyes to the power of religion
4n society , and he advocated the na
tional churches in rejecting the au
thority of the pope , allowing priests
to marry and abolishing the confes
sional.

By the grace and favor of Almighty

ninety , and the independence of the
United States the one hundred and
fifteenth.

Statement * .
BOSTON , Nov. 10. Reports from the
west , published here , controverting
President Adams' recent statement as
to the result of the boycott against the
Union Pacific , were shown to Adams
by a reporter. Ho said :
"The statement 1 made to you the
other day concerning the loss of trade
to the Union Pacific was absolutely
correct , but I have no desire to discuss
the matter any further. This state
ment , purporting to come from certain
railroad men in the west who they
are I do not know give figures in re
lation to this question that are widely
at variance with my own. I am not
disposed to enter into a controversy of
this character. The implication is that
I am falsifying or am ignorant. It is
noticeable that none of these people
come out over their signature and
make these assertions. What I said
the other day was right and is now.
The Union Pacific is now crushed
Avith trafilc it can not properly handle.
I am aware that with our heavy busi
ness our earnings are not showing sat
isfactorily. The trouble is we are short
of motive power. We have only been
able to get twenty-one of one hundred
and thirty engines which were ordered
last May. If we had the necessary
equipment our earnings in October
would have been fully § 1,000,000 larger
than they will show. I have nothing
different to say concerning the com
pany's floating debt from what I said
the other day. The company is not in
the market as a borrower of money ,
and it has no obligations of any im
portance maturing in the immediate
future. All talk to the contrary is rot
emanating from Wall street. ! No new
bond issue is contemplated and none
has been , excepting only that in con
nection with the Oregon Navigation
purchase , which is well understood.
The report of a pending charge in the
management is only to be expected in
connection with the other assaults
upon the road and it has no more truth
in it than all the other yarns.
Boyd Governor [ of Nebraska.
OMAHA , Nov. 10. There is no longer
any doubt of the election of James E.
Boyd as governor of Nebraska. All
but two counties , Hooker and McPherson -
son , have been heard from and Boyd
leads Powers by 1,001. The two coun
ties to hear from have not cast over
150 votes.
The contest between the candidates
on the state ticket below the governor ,
as the counties come in , grow very
close. Only one alliance candidate is
in the lead according to the figures
which were last received , but there are
still nineteen counties to hear from and
ten of these give alliance majorities of
from 200 to 600 on the vote for gover
nor. The prospect at present is that
the whole alliance state ticket , with
the exception of governor , will be
be elected' .
Corrected returns from sixty-eight
counties give the followingg vote on
prohibition : For , 62,318 ; against ,
1-04,827 ; majority against , 42,509.

HURON , S. D. , Nov. 10. Additional
returns increase the republican major
ity in the senate to 25 , with several
districts not reported. The republicans
have a majority in the house , the oppo
sition having only 48 , provided all unreported -
reported districts are theirs , which is
not at all likely. Mellette ( rep. ) now
has 3,000 plurality for governor.
Huron continues to claim the capital
by a majority of 2.762.
HURON , S. D. , Nov. 10. The demo
crats believe they have elected seven
teen senators and enough members of
the house to hold the legislature by
the aid of the independents. If Mel
lette is elected it is only by a very
small plurality. Huron claims the
state capital by 1,762 majority. It
now seems probable that the question
will go to the courts for settlement.
