KnaloulM Only Klcrt Two On Hie County Ticket TauI .lemiea Kerelvra a Lrg Mnjorlty In itoth Couutlra Coi Kl-rlel CoiimiiIkkIout In the Srrnnd IHntrli-r. The olection is over. This is a fact thrit nearly every ono is glad to note but there aro some inon who are not foiling aa well today as they were bo fore oloclion. However, the result of tho election in Cass county, considor In;; the fact that fusion of tho oppost lion forcos was to contond with, i very satisfactory to tho republic .ins having elocted all tho county tickot with tho exception of two sheriff and county suporlntondont. In this city tho election was very (uiet, but thero seems to havo been a still hunt going on, as tho voto was quite large almost every democratic voter having cast his ballot. In the Fourth ward thsro wero some ten re publican voters who were registered not voting. There were probably more scratched tickets cast than at any former olec tion. Judgo Kamsoy wes scratchod in all of the wards, whilo somoof tho re publicans reeoivod like treatment. In Stove Crock precinct Douglass majority was only throe and Barton's majority was twenty-five. This has formorly been a republican precinct by about seventy. Hut Barton's home precinct, Greenwood, did nobly by him. It is counted as a democratic precinct, but he rocoived a majority o twenty-nino. Ilia neighbor procinct Salt Crook, also gave him a good ma jority 10. .lames Robertson distinguished him self with his ability to get votes, his majority being 482. Paul Jessen, for district judgo,mad the best run of any republican on tho ticket, outside of Mr. Robertson, his majority being 4(54. In Otoo county his majority is given as 240, bringing it up to about 700 in the two counties. In tho city tho republicans elected tho two constables John Murray and J. II. Denson and one justice of tho peace Joseph S. Phebus. The assessors olected were as fol low: First ward C. E. Withrow, ropub lican. Second ward P. E. Rufl'nor, demo crat. Third ward Charles S. Twiss, re publican. Fourth ward Henry Ofo, domocrat Fifth ward Geo. C. C'ovalt, demo crat. The statement of tho vote of the ounty cannot be given in full today on account of the incompleteness of the unofficial returns from several of tho precincts, but will appear tomorrow The majorities given the sevoral can didates, as far as known, were as fol lows: Reese, 77; Jetsen, 434; House- worth, SI; Barton, 64; Robertson, 432; Wheeler, 22S; Smith, 221: Hilton, 400; DoHglass, 4S; Cox (commissioner). 172 It is known that Gass is elocted coro ner, but tho coturns are incomplete. A Plensant Meeting. The young people's society of the Presbyterian church met at the homo of Miss Laura Gault last evening. After tho regular business of tho so ciety was transacted tho remainder of the evening was spent in games and music. On tho walls woro found vari ous conundrums which puzzled even the best guessers. Each one present was furnished with a card and re quested to draw some spocie of the animal kingdom. Theso drawings proved the memory picture of tho ma jority of the artists to bo very crude. Refreshments having been served, tho company was favored with two solos by Miss Mignon Christian of Ashland, after which the young people departed, feeling that the evening had been one of both pleasure and profit.

A well known astronomer calculates that if an express train running sixty miles an hour day and night, without stopping, kept it up for 330 years, it would just about complete the diame ter of the circle made by the earth In its yearly journey around the sun. Now let this Immense circle be represented by the lady's finger ring, and taking that as the standard of .neasurement, the nearest fixed star would be a mile distant, and the farthest visible through the telescope at least twenty miles. - " Worms For 20 Years Has Led all oiiX) xstt .a.xjXj rrepwxl by J'-l J.:., tin (.liinlltjr.

New York Sun: The French have been telling of the ardent desire of the Chinese government to keep within the empire seven hills that are right on the edge of the country. The fact came out a while ago while China and France were rectifying the boundary between the French colony of Tonkin and the Chinese territory on the east. In the course of this work the French repre sentatives readily acquiesced in the re quest of the Chinese that the Seven Tea Mountains, as they are called, be left on the Chinese side of the boun dary. On these hills is grown the tea, par excellence, that is exclusively used on the imperial table at Peking. The method of cultivating it has beeE relig iously handed down from ancient times. The tea plant grown on the Seven Mountains is grown only from the seed which is gathered in the fall and kept through the winter in sand. In the spring small pots filled with mellow earth are placed in the earth, and a dozen grains are planted in each pot. When the young shoot3 are seven or eight inches high they are planted on the slopes of the hills, -which are laid out in terraces. The plants are covered with straw in winter and not a weed is permitted to grow among them. The flavor of the tea grown on these hills is regarded as particularly fine, and the imperial family and the functionaries of the court never drink anything else. Perhaps they do not eonsum all of the tea, for the variety Pu-eurl, the name of the town near the hills, figures in the Chinese markets to a small extent, and is sold at a princely figure. It may be, however, that it does not come from the tea fields that sup ply the Peking court. ii Will receive PROMPT Attention. Here are some of the rri'i- -. 1 iiey handle jnCKSO'l HILL. ILL.
