. Hurrah for McKinley and four more
years' of the'full dinner pail!
. Yesterday was certainly a red letter
day -for the republicans of the United
States, and as the results come in from
different sections of the country, this
becomes more and more apparent.
Every candidate on the ticket with
the exception of Dennett, for commis
sioner, has been elected by pood, Bate
majorities. - " . -
The state central committee claims
that McKinley has carried the "state
by 5,000 to 10,000 and this i9 also con
celed by many prominent democrats.
While three or four days will be needed
to" ascertain just what did happen,
it is enough to know that Bryan's ma
jority of .13,576 four years ago was
wholly demoralized, if it was not nc-
. tually changed to a deficiency.
Notes of the Itattle.
It was a veritable landslide.
' Many things happened yesterday
even the fusion lets will admit that.
&J..R. Den son was elected assessor in
the Fourth ward by a plurality of
fourteen over hi9 opponent,Henry Ofo.
Bryan "carried but four precincts
in Cass county, and it will take
them several days to get over the
surprise this bit. of intelligence gave
them.
George K Staata, who ran for asses
sor on the republican ticket in the
Third ward, received a plurality of
' seventeen votes over hi9 opponent, C.
S. Twies. .
. C. E. 'Heebner of Weeping Water,
Jesse Davis and It. A. Ca30 of Ne
hawka, A. E. Lake of Murdock and V
A.Cremerof South Bend brought in
the election returns from their ro?pec
tive precincts today.

- A telephone dispatchrecoived from
republican headquarters lato this
afternoon stated that the republican
state ticket was absolutely safe, and
that McKinley stood an excellent
chance to carry Nebraska by a major
ity of several ' thousand. Stand up for
...Nebraska I . -
O jo prominent democrat, it is said,
wagered. $100 that Bryan would bo
elected, after readine the fake dispatch
sent, out yesterday afternoon by Met-
calf of the World-ITerald, stating that
Bryan carried New York by a majority
, of 150,000. ' It is safe to say that this

About November Weather.
Riv. Irl Ilicks in Word and Works
makes his forecast for November, says
the Nebraska City News. Ho tells
about a storm period from the 2d to
7th and predicts all kinds of bad
weather, with the worst storms on the
4th to 7th. On this point, so far, he
has missed it badly.
On touching the 10th, 11th and 12th
the barometer will fall, and general
reaction to storm conditions will re-
A corrcct-and impartial observer
will soon discover that the temper
ature arise, as . a rule, at and about
tho conjunction of the moon with
earth and sun, or in other words, at
the new moon. The barometer usu-illy ;
falls at the'same time. Ocean tides
are higher, seismic and earthquake
shivers are more apt to occur, and
storm phenomena are perceptibly in
tensified, also, where our satellite
passes between us-and the sun. New
moon this month falls on the 22d, the
central day of the reactionary storm
period. . Moon is at its extreme south
point on the 23d, hence northerly
gales and cold will follow storms at
this time, promptly and sharply.
-The last storm period for November
is central on the 27th, extending from
the 2-5th to the 30th. Marked storm
conditions will begin westward about
the 2Glh, and energetic storms of rain,
wind and snow will pass eastward over
the country on the 27th to 30th. Moon
being on the celestial equ itor on 1 the
30th high temperature, rain,"pnow and
stormlnesa will not subside generally
until after that date although a high
barometer and cold wave will be in
sight in the northwest as the month
goes but. ---'

Plattsmoath's Best Band, Furnishes gome
' f Excellent Music.
An enthusiastic crowd filled Par
mele's theatre last evening to enjoy
the concert by the B. & M. band and
listen to the election returns At first
the audience evinced a. greater inter
est in the dispatches redd from the
stage by F.E. Green, than in the music
furnished by the band, but to the Bryan
adherents the returns became a little
monotonous as the evening wore away
and the applause and ovation that was
intended to be displayed on the recep
tion of the news of a democratic vic
tory in New York was given instead to
Mr. Richardson, whose fine execution
of a selected solo on the trombone and
the exquisite rendering of Schubert's
serenade," which he played for an en
core, aroused great enthusiasm in the
audience. If sjme were disappointed in
the election returns compensation was
given in the delightful program of ten
numbers rendered by the band. The
acoustic properties of the auditorium
are superi, every word spoken from
the stage being perfectly audible in
the farthest corner of the building,and
wa9 the subject of much pleased com
ment as the evening progressed.
Now that the fever and turmoil of
election is over it is to be hoped that
the B. & M. band will be heard In con
cert at least once a month, tho fine

Canadian moose and caribou arc not
only being extensively hunted this
season by sportsmen from all parts of
the world, but by special permission
I of the authorities, live specimens of j
uiesa species 01 Mortn American largo
game are being shipped to various
foreign countries. A large consign
ment of moose has lately been sent to
New Zealand. About a yer ago tho
government of New Zealand decided
to attempt to acclimatize the North
American moose there and entered
Into correspondence with the Cana
dian government The authorities of
Ottawa premised to assist the project
and with the help of C. C Chipman
chief commissioner of the Hud -on
Bay company, thirteen baby moose,
none of them more than a few weeks
old, were got together In the Lake
Manitoba country.: These were hand
reared for six or eight months on
chopped food, f rtah fruit, vegetables,
etc., e-pecial care being taken to get
them sufficiently tame for the Ion;;
voyage that was before them. The
railroad company from Portage la
Prairie to the Pacific coast was about
1,600 miles, and they were embarked
on board the steamship Aorangi for
a sea voyage of a month to the Antipodes.
Four very fine specimens of New
foundland caribou were recently sent
from St. John's to the National Zoo
logical parka at Washington. They
were shipped by United States Consul
Carter at St John's on board the
steamship Sylvia, bound for New
York. They were caught when quite
young by George NIcholls at Deer
Pond and were so docile that they
would follow Nicholls about like dogs.
Orders were recently received at Que
bec for live beavers for Bronx Park.
New York, but as the capture of these
animals is at present prohibited there
It may be some time before any can be
supplied.

A WINDOW GARDEN.
Boles for Taking Cere of Plsvnta In the
Ilonae.
Nine-tenths of the windows used for
window gardening are too crowded for
the plants to look well or do well. Turn
a new leaf right now by throwing away
every poor or insignificant growth.
Better to buy new stock in the spring
than to turn your precious window
space Into a hospital ward for s'ckly
plants. Keep the plants immaculately
clean. Wash the leaves once or twice
every week. A plant's lungs are in its
leaves. Showering the foliage waeherf
the dust out of the pores, refreshes the
plant and imparts vigor. Besides this,
clean plants do not harbor insects, the
greatest foe of the Indoor garden, and
the hardest to fight Loosen the crust
ed earth at the top of the pots. The
roots need air and In soft, pliable earth
they get it by capillary transmission.
A hard top crust seals the soil up as
though in a jug. Neither air nor wa
ter finds free entrance through it
Plants in hard soil often suffer from
lack of moisture at the roots, though
water has been given every day. Slide
the shades up to the top of the upper
sash; take down the curtains at the
plant windows and let God's invigorat
ing sun shine In. Sunshine to a plant
Is what gold is to a Klondike miner.
In extremely cold weather stay the
watering pot. Plants need little water
during severe weather, and they chill
or freeze twice as Quickly after a fresh
drenching. If watering becomes abso
lutely necessary have it the tempera
ture of tb room and give only in the
morning. Watering In the evening
during a cold snap is to Invite a visit
from Jack Frost Pot your plants.
Turn them, train them Into shape as
they grow; pick off every dead leaf or
faded flower. Haphazard care does not
pay with house plants.
