From time immemorial, the people of Union and Murray have enjoyed a dinner and supper on Thanksgiving day, and in each case the dinner has been served by the woman's organiza tions of the two churches of each place.

The antire-electionist party, whose nominee was Joe Vasconcelos, ton ceded the victory to Ortiz Rubio to night in a statement which attribut ed their defeat to interferen.ee at the polls by followers of Ortiz Rubio. It is estimated Rubio won a major ity of a million votes. Considerable violence accompanied the vo'ing. A carefully checker! cas ualty list from a very limited area, but including the capital, tonight showed 19 dead with more than a score seriously wounded. There had been reports of other deaths which could not be confirmed. Eight persons died here in dashes over possession of polling places yntl five more were killed in the state of Vera Cruz.

ATTEBERRY Union, Nebraska Much Country, No Coon. Ira Clarke the barber, and a good one at that, Loy and Sherman Hath away, both excellent farmers, heard the rumor that there was a few coon, which had not been bagged, and so they harnessed the faithful Ford up and started out Sunday evening to see if they could not find the coon ship. They first drove to Lincoln and then northeast to Greenwood, and struck off towards the Salt Creek. new road to Murray, visited there for , where they were sure there would be a time, then went west over the de tour to the county seat where they viewed the new bridge, met a num ber of their gentlemen, friends and returned home.

W. A. Re-Adjusts. This is no joke, for it is real suf fering, and while not enjoyed, is be ing participated in by many, in fact by all. While they have millions of dollars they are about busted, and no Joke, for they have but a shadow of enough to pay out. All must re-adjust, and it is awful. For instance Wm. Craig, now wella along in years, joined the order in 1900, he paid very punctually every assessment, thinking when he was seventy years of age he could stop paying and draw out a portion of what he had paid in every year and he and th good wife would live on it. Until last June he could have received all he had paid in, which would have been many hundred dollars. He was carry ing two thousand dollars insurance, and true he received the risk during the time, but now when he had added many years, nearly thirty, he is en tirely stripped of his savings. He can only get about two hundred and fifty dollars for what he has paid in. To carry the insurance according to the new rates would cost something over fifteen dollars per month. When the end comes probably a re-adjustment If Won't Be Long Piow! Winter will Soon be Here Have you cared for your radiator? We carry Alcohol and Anti-Freeze! Are your chains good for the winter?

The revolutionary party claimed to have polled S6.669 votes in the fed eral district alone. The antire-e'.cc-tionist vote was not believed to have, approached this. The revolutionary party claimed to have had command ing majorities in 22 of the 2S states. While the antire-electionists con ceded the victory of Ortiz Rubio, their president, Victoria E. Congora, said that nevertheless Vasco'icelor; was the true president of "Mexi cans." Cor.gora issued a signed statement charging that there h;'d been no free voting anywhere in the country. "In the field of democracy Mexi co has failed," the statement read. "In all towns and cities citizens have been prevented from voting and only public functionaries charged with furthering the most shame faced imposition in our political his tory have been permitted to do so, excepting in very few instances.

Mr. Hawley stated that he favoved a joint resolution to handle the mat ter in preference- to a bill. By this means the legislation could be con fined strictly to the administration's plan for the scope of the reduction and also greatly expedite aition on it. According to Mr. Hawley, the joint resolution would provide for a tax reduction covering only one calendar year on the part of the taxpayers and pait of two fiscal years cn the part of the government.

Berlin Municipal elections here Sunday, of special interest to Amer icans this year because of the recent visit of Mayor Gustav Boess and the charges of graft in his administra tion, passed off fairly quietly, apart from a few clashes between com munists, social democrats and na tionalists. At Breslau a member of the social demcorats was beaten to death by a group of communists. By evening 337 persons had been arrested, which was explained by the fact that all individuals on several campaign automobile trucks from which stones had been thrown at the police were taken to headquar ters. All except two were released after brief examination and idntiflca tion. One of the first to vote was Presi dent von Hindenburg, who with Un dersecretary of State Meissner ar rived with military precision at 9:30 a. m. at the voting booth.
