GLORIOUS HOPE.
Cass County Domocrats Cloriously
Defeated.
Republicans Victorious.
Yesterday's election of county ofiiccrs
was a grand one. The vote cast was
large and went the right way.
This morning came and the news of
the republican victory in Plattsmouth
cast a shadow upon the countenances of
all the democrats and as the different
precincts sent in reports of republican
voctories the shadow became a cloud and
this afternoon when only Tipton and
Stove Creek were to bo heard from and
the democratic majorities were reduced
to 27 for J. 51. Robinson clerk, and 50
for Louis Foltz, commissioner, while the
republicans all had good majorities and
the precincts to be heard from are strong
republican, democratic hope was gone.
This is the greatest victory ever achiev
ed r.y the republicans of Cass county.
To-morrow evening Tiik Herald will
publish a complete list of the returns,
totals' and pluralities of the comity, pro
vidd all the precincts report by that
time in full. It is conceded by democrats
that D. A. Campbell's plurality will prob
ably reach 450 to 500.

Yesterday's election was one which will

ART ON SAFK DOORS.
A Glimpse at the Artist Who Pot Oil
I'aiuting on tho Iron I)oor.
"Tbfre aro more than 400,000 safes in use

facturerto a reporter a few days ogo, "and
with n few exceptions fheir groat iron doors
aro brightened with artistio designs in oiL
The. center of the saf painting trade is in thi
city. Half a dozen artists aro engaged in
the work. They are all men who luxvo left
the private studio and buried their identity
fur money.
"Ono man in particular was an artist or
recognized ability. His studio up town was
ono of the finest in the city. Rich draperies
ami costly bric-a-brac were on every hand.
Tho floor" was inlaid with choice woods, and
valuablo Bpocimens of his handiwork greetod
tho visitor from tbo walls. A tropical sun
bursting through fleecy clouds sliono down
from tho ceiling. This man got a good start
from Lis father, and, as I remarked, his abil
ity was recognized; but it didn't pan out in
cash. When ho found a customer for a $ 100
painting lie lived in clover, and when tho art
mart was drugged and pictures went slow ho
found it hard work to mako both ends meet.
I'vo made a nanio,' said he ono day, 'but the
artist who lives on his name without money
can do more than I can.'
"A week after that," continued the 6afa
manufacturer, "ho applied to nio for work.
If you want to talk with him, come with me."
Tho reporter then went into the rear apart
ment and found their man at work. One
was painting a scene in tho Calskill on the
cold black front of a C,000 pound safe that
was billed to be delivered within ten days to
a western manufacturer.
"Don't imagine," said tbo artist after tho
introduction, "that I have given up being nn
artist. Oh, no! I am still turning out
original studies, but my work goes with -the

We paint two six by nino landscapes in a
day. Ordinarily one man lays in tbo ground
work, another mis in tho middle ground and
a third adds the fore ground. Wo get up
quite a number of designs to order. On the
inner doors of that safe over there you will
find a good painting of the lower falls in the
Genesee. That picturo is to please tho fancy
of a Rochester man who ordered it.

to be a little too red or brown or green, wo
can account for it by saying $hat the green"

of the trade." ,
"What do you consider tho nature df. 'your

"Wo turn out work here," replied tho artist
after a moment's reflection, "that would sell

Changes in Parisian Habits.
It is curious to remark how greatly Paris
ian habits have changed within even the past
few years, and that, too, not a little owing to
Anglomania. Outdoor exercise is all tbo rage
nowadays, particularly riding and driving,
and from 9 to 11 in the morning tho Bois do
Boulogne is the rendezvous of the prancers
and piiiffeusos, who, after then- morning tob
(Anglice, tub), take a drive in their lx)guct
(Anglieo, buggy) or in their secdnir, which
we pronounce spider. But that is a detail.
The grave thing is that these gentlemen and
ladies "very selected" get up early and go to'
bed early, and the consequence is that they
do not go to the theatre so much as formerly,
and, above all, they do not care any longer
about first nights. For that matter the mana
gers of the fashionable theatres are now much
exercised to know how to arrange their pro
grammes, for the Parisian dinner hour is get
ting later and later and the bed hour earlier
and earlier. At home few people dine before
7:30; at dinner parties one does not sit down
to table much before 8 o'clock ; what time re
mains for the theatre? Either one must dine
exceptionally early or else arrive in the mid
dle of the fourth act. At the Opra things
are managed better. By tacit agreement
some old opera is performed for tho benefit
of tho foreigners and country cousins, and
then toward 11 o'clock the ballet begins for
the benefit of the subscribers, who drop in
about that hour, and many of whom have
never heard the overture or even the first two
acts of any opera of tho repertory. Nor are
they any prouder or happier on that account.
But still this state of affairs is unsatisfactory,
and the theatrical managers feel uneasy in
consequence. Paris Cor. London World.
The ISoy and the Elephant.
Many years ago ono of tho most famous
elephants that traveled in this country was
Old Columbus. During one of his summer
trips through Virginia ho stopped at tho
town of D . In tho neighboring town of
II a boy, familiarly called Davo and
notorious for leadership in all kinds of mis
chievous tricks, determined to show oiT before
the oLher boys at Old Columbus' expense,
and invited several of his companions to go
with him.
Having com to tho elephant's stablo Dave
gave him first candy, then cake, and then
finally cried: "Now boys!" and slipped a
piece of tobacco in his proboscis, intending to
get out of danger and enjoy Old Columbus'
disgust and anger.
But before he could move Columbus seized
him and whirled him upward through the
opening overhead against the roof of the
stable.
Unhurt by his unexpected riso Dave
dropped on th hay mow. Tho other boys
below, supposing this to bo the trick prom
ised them, cried out in admiration :
"Dave, Dave, do that again!"
Dave, comfortably seated out of harm's
way, very earnestly answered:
"No, boys! I only do that trick once a
day." Youth's Companion.
A Million Postage Stamps.
Within the last year hundreds of benevo
lent people were actually busy begging for
canceled stamps in order to obtain admission
for an old lady in a Philadelphia "homo." A
Germantown physician took the matter in
charge, and it was understood that when the
necessary 1,000,000 had been collected they
were to be handed over by his wife to a
friend, who was to give them to another
friend, who was to give them to a third, who
knew someone who would arrange with some
body else for the old lady's final reception.
The craze spread so far that packages of
stamj arrived by every mail from New York,
Washington, Chicago and Boston. Little
schoolgirls and fashionablo 3-oung women
vied with each other in their eagerness to aid
this good work, and half the requisite number
had actually been scraped together before it
began to dawn on people's minds that the
only possible use that any "home" could maka
of 1,000,000 stamps would be to sell them for
old paper.
Then an enterprising Philadelphia reporter
undertook to hunt up the old lady, whose
ii'rr.o was Peturman, and having found her,
had t !io pleasure of hearing from her own
lips that she had no idea of going into any
institution at alL Harper's Young Feogla.

AMERICA'S HISTORY.
A Sort of "Hiawatha" by Bob
Durdette.
When he lauded, C. Columbus Found
the people with no clothes; Found them
dressed like Lydia Thompson; Dressed
for goiu to the opera. Now they un
dress more than ever, But it costs much
more to do so; Cots like smoke to put
on nothing. Then lie found the people
-minted-, Kinged and streaked from heel
to ey elsow; Now they paint above the
shoulderslint it costs as much as ever.
The the young men smeared their bod
ies; Now the young men paint the town
red. Then he found the maids assem
bled, Waiting on the sandy seashore;
Waiting for the Spanish sailors. Now
as ever, they are waiting, Giddy girls
and anxious "monnmrs." Eytr waiting
on the eeadiore: Waiting for the men
to find them, Eager still to be discover
ed; iVnxious that they may be sought
for by strange men from foreign coun
tries. Then Columbus found the natives
Free and easy with their ducats. Gladly

this afternoon that unless he hears from
the governor by to-morrow night the
work of erecting the scaffold will be
begun. As provided in the statutes, he
will swear in the jury, and they, with the
lawyers in the casj and a few press rep

to witness the execution. It is understood
that the material for the shrouds wa
purchased to-day and that the nooses
will be proceeded with at once.
Chief of police Ebersold says to the
press that there need be no apprehension
on the people; that the precautions taken
by himself and aids are too elaborate to
admit of any demonstrations being made.

The Captured Bombs.
Chicago, Nov. 7. Sheriff Matson this
morning said there was no doubt as to
the nature of the stuff- found in Lingg's
bombs. That-part of the filling had
been taken out of a couple of the pipes
and exploded, and found to be the
strongest kind of dynamite. The am
nesty people have their tables on the
streets again this morning, but " there
seems to be less disposition on the part
of the people to sign the petitions than
Saturday, and but few names are being
secured.

is upon the lower tier and looks oyV
upon tiie examing cage. Reporters may
observe him at a distance of eigt., feet.
Lingg. was restless, and every few mo
ments he would jerk his head around
aud stare through the grated
door with a wild look. Presently he got
up, planted himself in front of the cell
door, thrust his hands into his pockets
and looked straight before him upon the
contracted field of his vision. He saw
nothing but watchful clusters of report
ers and suspicious muscular bailiffs. He
was nervous. He would lean agaiast the
wall, sit down on the edge of the cot,
get up, put his elbows on the cross-bars
of his cell and rest his face on his hands.
A favorite attitude was to stand firmly
erect, fold his arms over his broad chest
and gaze out bristling and feroci ms.

their cells this morning, and Jailor Foltz
says they won't be today. Mrs. Schwab,
Mrs. Ed gel and 3Irs. Parsons came to seo

try as consul, and he was appointed to
Asuncion. Now he has grown tired nf
the place and resigned. One f the dif
ficulties in the way of filling the office
is the fact that the salary is so small and
the expenses of reaching the, post eo
great that it is a very undesirable place
from a financial standpoint. Tho salary
is only $1,500 a year, with an allowance
not to exceed $300 for office rent, whil
the cost of the trip for a single person is
$465, and if the consul has a wifo an I
child he cannot get them to his post for
less than $1,000 at the lowest estimate.
