State and Legislature.
The Omaha Bee and the Lincoln
Journal both claim the election of the
Republican state ticket and a majority
of the legislature on joint ballot ; but
this claim is denied by the Omaha
World-Herald , which makes a similar
claim. A private telegram received by
THE TRIBUNE , nt noon , is to the effect
that it will take the official vote to de
termine both or either , the contest be *
ingso close , that the successful candi
dates will not likely have a thousand
votes plurality.
THE NEXT HOUSE AND SENATE.
Increased Republican Majorities Gains
a Surprise to All.
Chicago , Nov. 7. With several districts
still to be heard from the Republican
strength of the lower house of the nex
congress is placed at 200 , as against 149
Democrats and 8 Independents. This
would be a majority of 44 , as comparec
with 15 two years ago.
The great changes have been in the
east. The Republicans have gainec
heavily in New York and Pennsylvania
and there have also been changes in
some of the Mississippi Valley states , in
Ohio and on the Pacific coast. Michigan
Wisconsin , Iowa and Minnesota stil
have a solid Republican delegation. To
this list is now to be added California
which has elected seven Republicai
members.
Changes in the senate are such as to
make that body even more Reoublicai
than it now is. The Republicans have
carried Delaware , thus making sure o
two senators from that state.
They have also captured the legisla
ture in Utah , and this insures a Repub
lican member of the senator to fill the
vacancy which now exists. All the re
turns indicate that the Republicans have
also carried the legislature in South Da
kota , insuring the'defeat of Senator Pet-
tigrew.
In North Carolina , Marion Butler ,
Populist , will be replaced by a Democrat
Making allowance for these changes the
senate will stand 55 Republicans , 26
Democrats and 9 Independents.
Senator Allen Re-Elected.
The result in the
Twenty-Ninth sen
atorial district , composed of Chase ,
Dundy , Frontier , Furnas , Gosper , Hayes ,
Hitchcock and Red Willow counties ,
while not unexpected , is none the less
decisive and glorious , proving again the
merits of the Republican nominee , Hon.
E. N. Allen of Arapahoe , Furnas county ,
who is again returned to the state senate
by a most complimentary vote. Follow
ing we give the pluralities of the nom
inees in the several counties reliable ,
but not official :
Allen Lincoln
Chase 35
Dundy 4
Frontier 135
Furnas 95
Gosper 72
Hayes 37
Hitchcock 3S
Red Willow 270
Totals 572 114
Mien's plurality 4.
This re-election of Mr. Allen to the
state senate is a high compliment to him ,
and is conclusive proof of the wisdom of
the Republicans in unanimously re-nom
inating him for that office. We believe
that he will give a good account of him
self in the next session of the Nebraska
legislature , which is predestined to be
one of the most important and stormy
L sessions in the history of this common
ly wealth , a session which will require men
of high honor and responsible back-bone
to transact its business with integrity
and credit.
[ 5 RED WILLOW county did herself proud
with almost 300 plurality for W. S. Mor-
lan.
PRESIDENT MCKINLEY has not only
i received a larger electoral vote , but his
popular majority is also largely in
creased.
WE CAN'T tell a lie : It was Colonel
| Shallenberger's bull pup that got outside
) the congressional cabbage in the "Big
Fifth. " Murder will out.
THE redemption of Nebraska is al
most complete. Another such a "vic
tory" for W. J. Bryan and Nebraska will
be in the Republican column all over.
HENRY CRABTRKK , the Republican
candidate for commissioner in the Second
end district , was defeated by his Fusion
opponent , Maurice Reddy , by 15 votes.
'DEFEATED , " remarked Boss Crocker
of the ice trust and Tammany , as he
emerged , undaunted and undismayed
from the snowslide , "but not discour
aged. " Nothing frigid will ever dismay
Richard ; it will take a rising thermom
eter to meet his case.

congress. The total number of Republi
cans elected in 202 ; Democrats , 147 ;

contains 185 Republicans to 172 in

A GLANCE at the abstract of the votes
cast in Red Willow county reveals an as
tounding amount of ignorance concern
ing the ballots , and numerous failures of
the voters to express themselves fully at
the polls. Many incomplete ballots and
many ballots rendered void by the voters
marking the names of all candidates for
the same office. There has been so much
tinkering with the form of the ballot in
late years that the voters are making
wretched work in preparing their ballots ,
A simple , blanket ballot should be
adopted , in which each party shall have
a separate column. The purpose should
be to make voting simple and easy ,
not complex and difficult.

McKINLEY PLURALITY.
Estimates based on Associated Press election returns received Up to
noon today show that McKinley will have a greater popular plurality
than he received in 1896.
While McKLinlev's pluralities in New York and some of the New Eng
land stales are yreaily reducer ! this has been counteracted by the reduced
pluralities for Bryan in the Western states carried by him and the increased
pluralities received l > y .McKinley in some of the states in the West carried

"When tlic Voting ; Woman Thonprht It
" \Va 3olU , She Cot Nervonn.
The car had juat rounded "dead
man's curve" at Fourteenth street ,
when n daintily clad young woman
swished something out of her. hand
which as It struck the street was fol
lowed by a sharp metallic sound.
"What was that you threw away , my
dear ? " asked her companion , another
girl about the same age.
"Money , " laconically responded the
thrower.
"Money ! " continued her companion
in a horrified tone of voice. "Why , it
sounded like gold. "
"My gracious ! " shrieked the thrower.
"Have I thrown away one of those
goldpieces ? "
By this time several of the passen
gers had arisen from their seats and
were looking in an indignant way at
the conductor for not stopping the car.
lie , however , was one of those high
collared , stoical young men who boss
things on the Broadway cars , and the
excitement created by the money
thrower did not cnuse him to turn a
hair. All this time the car was bowl
ing as merrily along as Broadway cars
ever do bowl , and it was getting far
ther and farther away from the mon
ey. One or two of the passengers were
about to jump off the car , but then
they thought better of it and turned
their gaze anxiously on the young wo
man , who was hunting frantically
through her purse. Just as it seemed
the strain would be too much for the
excited passengers to bear longer the
fair thrower looked up smilingly at her
companion and murmured sweetly :
"It's all right , my dear. It wasn't a
goldpiece after all. "
"What was it , then ? " asked the second
end young woman.
"Only a crooked penny , " replied the
thrower. "I always throw awa v crook
ed pennies for luck. "
Then both girls softly giggled , while
the other passengers , looking both fool
ish and disgusted , resumed their seats.

ORIGIN OFTHETERM "MOB"
TJncd In Itn First Jlcnnlnp : In Time of
Clmucer.
As indicating the populace , prover
bially fickle and easy to be moved ( mo
bile , from Latin mobillis ) , the expres
sion "the mobile people" is as old as
the time of Chaucer , but in its later
sense , that of the disorderly crowd ,
and in its contracted form , "mob , " it is
not older than the postrestoration pe
riod. In Roger North's Examen , 1740 ,
reference is made to the Green Ribbon
club , 1GSO-2 , and the writer adds :
"I may note that' the rabble first
changed their title and -were called the
mob in the assemblies of this club-
first mobile vulgus , then contracted in
one syllable. " It was used hesitating
ly at first by Dryden ( "Don Sebastian , "
1G90) , Durfy ( "Commonwealth of Wo
men , " 1088) ) and Shadwell ( "Squire of
Alsatia , " 1GS8) ) , and Richardson points
out that Dryden uses both "mobile"
and "mob" in the sense of rabble , the
former in the stage directions as the
common word , the latter as if it had
not long been introduced.
In 1711 The Spectator instances
"mob" as an example of the popular
tendency to curtail many of our words
in familiar writings and conversation.
The verb "to mob , " derived of course
as above , does not occur until the pe
riod of Horace Walpole , many years
later , and Shakespeare's expression ,
"the mobled queen" ( "Hamlet" ) , refers
not to the "mob" ( mobile ) , but to the
headdress in disorder. Boston Tran

The Rev. Father Stauntou of the well
known Church of St. Alban , Holboru.
is a humorist in his way and often tells
with inimitable effect a droll story in
the course of his sermon which sends
through the congregation a gentle rip
ple of merriment. On Sunday he sat
irized the ambition of certain people
to use words of which they did not
know the meaning. Many of them
were fond of sticking the letters "D.
V. " in all sorts 'of places instead of
using the plain , homely English phrase
"God willing. " He knew one gentle
man , rather shaky in his Latin , who in
a letter to a friend wrote "I will be
with you 'D. V. ' on Monday , but any
way on Tuesday. " London Telegraph.

Haydn had a peculiar way of deter
mining the time in which a piece of
music should be sung. On one occa
sion a female singer in high esteem at
court had been appointed to sing one
of Haydn's compositions. At the re-
icarsal she and the conductor differed
is to the time of the music. The mater -
: er was to be settled by referring it to
Haydn himself. When called on to
decide , he asked the conductor if the
singer was handsome.
"Very , " was the reply , "and a spe-
lal favorite with the prince. "
"Then she is right , " replied Haydn.
To stop bleeding at the nose , cut
some blotting paper about an inch
square , roll it about the size of a lead
pencil and put it up the nostril that is
bleeding. The hollow in it will allow
the sufferer breathe. The blood will
fill the space between the tube and
the nose and will very soon coagulate
and cease to flow.
