"Chairman," "Toil can aay that tha chances for the success of tha democratlo ticket next Tues day are exceptionally good. I don't want to make any predictions as to msjorletles, .beeauso It la Impossible to make a guess as to what tha exact result will be. We are, however, going to win. There h not been a time In recent years when democratlo sentiment Is so pronounced as now. Wo are going fo win because the people of the state want a nonpartisan judiciary and a democrat on the Board of Regents. A democrat on tha bench and at the university would act aa a "watch dog," and aa a business proposition would be an advantage. "Then people are beginning to wonder ' who Is to blam for the preset! f financial stringency. I have heard directly and In' directly from 'a number of republicans wldly scattered over the state, who think ' that the most effective way to end the present, financial difficulty is to silently and quietly register a protest by voting the democratic ticket. I think' Judge Loomls and the remainder of the state ticket will bo elected. T. 8. ALLEN. Chairman.' The above statements from Chairman Hawyard of the republican state committee and Chafrman Allen of the democratlo state committee, both-confident of victory, mark tha close of the campaign, with the ! exception of picking up tho loose ends be tween now and Tuesday. The republican claims ara based on reports received from , workers all over the state with whom the state committee has been In close and al most constant touch. Very few meetings have been held by either the republicans or democrats and fewer by the minority party than tha republicans, but the amount of work done by tho republican state com mittee baa been enormous. That the demo . crats have done ' mora In tho Interests of . the local candidates in those localities whara they think they have a chance of sucoess, than they have for the state ticket, ; Is evidenced by tha absence of work being ! dona at the democratic state headquarters ' W. J. Bryan will make a few speeches ' Monday and Tuesday and tha republicans will hold a big meeting In Llnooln Monday night. Milk Below Grade.

Address, F. A. Stuart Co., 171 Uluart Uldg.. Marshall, Mick Arguments la llama Case FREMONT, Neb., Nov. 2. (Special.) The quo warranto proceedings brought by John Harris and others against the direc tors of the Farmland, Fremont and Rail road Drainage district was heard by Judge Reeder In the district court room yesterday afternoon. About fifty people, mostly prop erty owners In the district, were present. The parties agreed upon the facta and the arguments, which lasted most of the after noon, were confined to legal questions. Counsel for I lie relators contended that the act was unconstitutional on account of the right to voto being based on property qual ifications and also argued that, granting the law was constitutional, the notice of the election for the purpose of organizing the district, was not published three weeks as the stHtute requires. The defendsnts con tended that the constitutionality of the law was governed by decisions of the supreme court In tho Irrigation law cases and that the publication of the notice for less than twenty-ono days was a substantial compli ance with the statute and also that the plaintiffs had no authority to bring the action. Both parties cited a lot of authori ties and submitted voluminous briefs. Judge Reeder took It under advisement. A de cision Is not looked for within two or three weeks. In any eveat the case will un doubtedly go to the supreme court. Both sides express themselves as being sanguine of the result. Omaha Agents ROOSIER KITCHEN CACHETS Doctor Sard for Damage.

NS REVIEW OF TRABE Contraction Follows Financial Crieii of Last Week. CONTEMPLATED WORK POSTPONED Retail Baslnesa Is Bilmmlated by Seasonable Weather mad Collec tions Improve with Crop . Movements. Bee Want Ads, Are ths Vest Business Boosters. NEW YORK. Nov. 2.-R. G. Dun Com pany's Review of Trade says: Contraction lias followed the financial crisis of last week, but only to the xtent compelled by inatlllly to raise money. There is no evidence that confidence has been permanently Impaired; on the contrary gratification' Is felt that the severe strain made no deeper Impression. Many . con templated developments have been post poned and merchants find rates for com mercial paper almost prohibitive, yet re tall trade Is stimulated by more season able teniperature and at Interior cities col lections Improve with the movement of the crops to market. Conditions In the iron and steel Industry are not materially altered except that new business is smaller. Mills continue well occupied on old contracts as a rule and as there have been no cancellations It Is pro I) able that no extensive reduction In activ ity will take place this year. A fair ton nage of rails Is wanted for home mads and export and shipyards sre using plates freely, yet the volume of new business is restricted by financial stringency. Coke output Is at the maximum Slid large contracts are reported for future delivery, but the ovens will quickly respond to sny curtailment of pig Iron production. Textile manufacturing plants are not re ducing activity, although there is more caution regarding future business. In cer tain lines some accumulation of storks Is noted, but these are In strong bands that are not likely to urgs sales at the expmse of valuea. Moreover, these are exceptional instances, most lines being sold unusually far ahead. Cheaper raw material and tight money Indicate that some sdjustment la prices may he necessary and that it would establish the market upon a hfa'th'er basis, but the present lime Is not propitious. Much satisfaction la expected in the dry goods trade over the manner in which last week's stress was sustained, giving a most encouraging prospect for the future. Prie s are still well above tha views of exporters. The only development In the market for men's wear woolens Is a moderate supply of duplicate orders, much uncertainty re maining as to certain fabrics. Hides are dull and quiet, tanners mak ing no bids on account of the scarcity nt money. Any pressure to sell would prob ably unsettle values. Country hides ara weak, several vurletles declining fraction, ally. Purchases of leather ore also rsj-V strlcted to immediate needs, but stocks V are held down by reduced production. 8hlp ments of boots and shoes from Boston continue to average lO.OUi cases less than In the same week last year, but ' the total since January 1 ia larger than In any year except line and lil, despite the develop ment of the Industry outside New England. Eastern manufacturers report, improve ments In orders, chiefly In staple lines. DEATH RECORD Mrs. I.. II. Sevrrln. CEDAR FALLS. Ia Nov. J.-(Bpecial.) Mrs. L. H.
