The election Tuesday was one of th<
quietest ever seen in this city, and th<
heaviest vote ever cast here was cast
396 in the three wards. The vote ii
the county was light, 250 less that
was polled two years ago. It is esti
mated that there was 4,200 voters ir
the county and as there was but
about 3,545 cast at the election aboul
650 voters absented themselves froir
the polls on election day.
The greatest interest in the city
was on the fight for county attorney
and for sheriff. For the former offict
Walter Hodgkin was elected with £

ried every township in the east anc
northeast portion of the county, soim
of them by very heavy majorities
Boyle performed the heretofore con
sidered impossible by carrying Atkin
son township, which has always beer
one of the banner republican pre
cincts, with a majority of 16.
Henry Grady ran like a quarter
horse in the race for sheriff. He will
have over 500 majority over Stantor

! clerk with a majority of about 200

, in the race. Porter drew support
i from both the other candidates, but

township in the county.
John A. Robertson has been re

good majorities in the county.
Returns on the suffrage amendfrient

A paragraph is going the rounds
about a girl dying from tight lacing.
An editor commenting on the fact
says: Those corsets should be done
away with and if the girl can’t live
without being squeezed we suppose
men could be found who would sac
rifice themselves. As old as we are
we’d rather devote three hours a day,
without a farthing of pay, as a prevet
corset, than seeing these girls dying
in that manner. Office hours almost
any time.
Governor Eberhardt, of Minnesota,
addressed n good sized audience at the
opera house in this city last Friday

and paying tellers window’s being of
Belgium marble. The fixtures are
very neat and adds much
to the appearance of the banking
rooms.
Ellen, the H-year-old daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Erskine, residing
six miles south of Inman, met with a
painful accident Saturday afternoon
while riding horse back. The horse
became frightened and threw her off.
Her foot was caught in the stirrup and
she was dragged over the sand hills
for a considerable distance. When
found by members of the family she
was picked up and taken to her home
unconscious. While no bones were
broken her left side and face are
frightfully scarred as a result of the
accident.
Early to bed, early to rise, makes
men healthy wealthy and wise. Thus
runs the old saw, and there’s more in
it, probably, than many of us are
willing to admit. Rushing things is
all right if not carried too far. But
some people in their mad desire to ba£
everything in sight, overdo it. To
this class belongs the old lady who
went to the stairway and yelled up
stairs to a grown daughter: “Sally!
Sally! Git up! Git up! Here it is four
p’clock Monday morning, tomorrow’s
ruesday, next day’s Wednesday half
the week’s gone and nothing done
iret.”
A type writing girl, after a careful
observation of the patrons of the
pffice, thus expressed her “manly
riews:” I get sick of men and their
ways. They are messy; they sling
paper all over the office and loll about
>n the desks and chairs in such un- *
iignified attitude. They smoke and
:hew. We heve fourteen drummers
who come into our office, and only one
>f the fourteen have the courtesy to
isk me if cigar smoke is offensive to
me. Then they are silly; they talk
such nonsense as sixteen-year old
girls wouldn’t be guilty of. It is all
ibout neckties new hats, ballets, good
iinners, and so on. If you think man
is the supehior animal, you just spend
some time in a business office with as
sorted sizes of him, and you will see.
I am beginning* to believe that a
trashy dime novel is better than the
socitey of the average man, and
squally improving.”
