THE COMPLEXION OF TEE SEKATE.
There are now 43 republicans in
the senate, 32 silver democrats, 5
silver republicans, so-called, 5 pop
ulists and 3 sound-money demo
crats. The death ot Senator George
and the absence of a senator from
Ohio leaves the total number but
8S. With a republican seated from
Oregon, and one elected in Ohio,
that party would, with the co-operation
of one populist, control the
senate. Even if a democrat were
appointed to succeed SenatorGeorge
it is considered probable that at
least one of the populists would co
operate with the republicans, thus
leaving that party in control of the
senate -vith the aid of the vice
president's vote. Thirty-one seats
in the senate are to be filled be
tween now and March 4, 1899.
Eleven of these are now filled with
republicans, fifteen by silver demo-
crats, two by populistsr two by sil
ver republicans and one by
a sound-money democrat. It is con
ceeded that the republicans will
elect senators from Maine, "Ver
mont, Massachusetts.RhodeIsland,
Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Iowa,
Michigan and Minnesota; the dem
ocrats in "Virginia, Florida, South
CaroIina.Texas, and probably Mis
souri and Tennessee; and the sil
verites in Nevada, Montana, and
Utah. With the Ohio republicans
successful this fall, the republican
party is practically sure of 41 votes
in the senate in the last half of Mc
Kinley's term, and the silver demo
crats 25. There is reason to be
lieve that the republicans may be
successful in sending members of
their own party from Maryland,
West "Virginia, Indiana, Wisconsin.
North Bakota, California, New
Tork and New Jersey to succeed
democrats now holding- seats from
these states. Should this happen
it will give the party an easy con
trol over the senate. Should they
only win in one-half these states
they would be able to control the
senate with the vote of the vice
president. It will be seen, then,
that there is good reason for the in
tense interest withnvhich the Ohio
election of this fall is being watched.
Upon it alone may depend the con
trol of the senate between this time
and March 4th, 1S99, while upon
Ohio, Maryland and a few other
close states will depend the control
after March 4th. 1S99, to the end of
President McKinlev's term.

Mr. Morrill, a former resident of

and is domiciled in the Wilson
house in the south east corner of
town. Mr. Morrill is a dentist but
we understand he intends buying
land and going into the stock busi
ness. The Turpie outfit returned last

A rather sad affair occurred here
last Thursday. An immigrant
wagon drove into town and reported
the death of one of their children.
They were in destitute circum

unable to do any thing" themselves in
the way of providing for the inter
ment of their child. A collection
was taken up among the citizens
and the necessary supplies were se
cured and willing' hands aided in
the last sad rites. The coffin was
made by the carpenters working on
the McKenzie building". Burial ser
vices were held at the church and
conducted by Rev. Thurber and the
child was laid away in the cemetery
by loving hands. The family were
from Rawlins, Wyo.. moving east

says, "are feeling greatly en
couraged over the very flattering
prospects for a good trade this fall.
Already a healty indication has
set in that a better class of goods
are going to be in demand, and our
merchants have invariably pur
chased their goods this fall with a
view of meeting the demand. The
only thing to be deplored in connec
tion with our fortunate condition is
that our temporary prosperity is
brought about at the expense of a
famished and starving foreign na
tion." Journal.
Tramps take life into their own
hands when they ride the brake
beam ot a passenger or freighttrain
but the Grand Island Independent
tells of a new plan the hoboes have
adopted of getting ovu. the road,
which is even more dangerous.
Last Saturday a stock train left
Missoula, Mon., about dark and one
ot the men went over the train to
look afterthe cattle to see that none
were down. Coming to a car about
in the middle of the train, he saw
something dark in the center of the
car on the floor. It did not look like
a steer and he poked at the object
with his pole. It proved to be two
young fellows fiat on their stomachs
in the midst of a car of practically
wild cattle. The men told the
stockman that alter being put off
they climbed between two of the
cars, managed to open one of the
end windows, and dropped down be
tween the cattle. The animals be
ing" all in a row, they succeeded in
working" their way near the center
of the car, where there was not
likely to be a jam, and by taking
hold of a steer's frontlegs and main
taining" their position under his
body, kept from being trampled
upon. As soon as the steer moved
a trifle, they moved right with him.
At first the two animals which felt
that their legs were being" pulled
gave evidence of resisting, but the
crowded condition of the car ham
pered them considerably and made
it the safer for the twa tramps. j
