THE ALLIANCE- INDEPENDENT.
PRESIDENT GUrBUND
(Continued from page 1.)
WEAVER STATES.
Tho following arc the states carried
ly Weaver: Colorado. Nevada and
Kansas". It U likely part of the Weaver
ticket i elected in Oregon and Mlnne
Mta. Idaho, Wyoming and Montana
are in doubt. S u hrrn states not yet
heard from
SOUTH KKX STATES.
Very little definite news has come
from the ?outh xecrt that Georgia has
gone democrat l, and Tom Wat won Is
defea'ed. The probabilities arc that
Cleveland 1 as carried everything ex
cept Alabama, and possibly North
Carolina.
HAKKISON STATES.
The only states Harrison seems to be
tturc of are Main. Vermont, New
' Hampshire, Uhmlo Inlan t. Pennsylva
nia and Iowa. He probably has Oro
gnn, Washington. Idaho. Minnesota
and North and South Dakota. TIip
votes of these states will make a small
showing in the electoral college.
The republicans have made some
gains, but they are far short of a ma
jority in either hous. The democrats
will have very few members in either
houso.
IN KANSAS.
Tho populists have won a complete
victory electing Weaver electors, state
ticket, five congressmen, and a legisla
ture, which will choose a United btates
senator. Jerry Simpson was elected
by a good majority.
NEW YORK.
Cleveland carries New York by from
thirty to forty thousand, and a demo
crats legislature elected,
ILLINOIS.
Cleveland carries Illinois by not less
,thau ten thousand. Democratic legis
lature. WISCONSIN
goes democratic by perhaps 7,000 and
elects democratic legislature.
OHIO. .
The republicans claimed Ohio very
stronirlv at Urst. but thev now concede
that it is very close and probably demo
cratic.
INDIANA
has been claimed by both parties, but
late returns indicate that it has gone
with tho rest for uieveiana.
IOWA.
Th3 republicans claim a clean sweep
in Iowa with 11 out or 13 congressmen.
IN MICHIGAN
Cleveland at9 five electors and Harri
son six. They are elected by districts
in Michigan.
TEXAS.
It looks now as if the people's candi
date for governor in Texas, Judge Nu
gent, would be elected.
Chadrou Academy Burned.
Tho academy of the Congregational
church at Chadron was entirely destroy
ed by fire on Sunday morning. The
loss is $15,000, insuranco sj4U,uuu.
Paris Anarchists.
On Tuesday morning Nov. 8, a spheri
cal bond was picked up in Paris and
carried to police headquarters in Paris
While police officers were examining it
clockwork msiae me oomosirucKana a
terrific explosion followed, killing four
men and wrecking the building. Great
excitement was caused.
A Paring Robbery.
Last Friday nlzht. on a train near
Blair, Nebraska, occurredone of the
boldest robberies in tho annals of crime
n the west. G. W. Pollock, a travel
ing salesman for a New York house,
who was riding in tho smokirg car,
was approached by a stranger who drew
a mask over hU face, presented a revol
ver and demanded a case of diamonds
which Pollock had concealed inside his
vet. Not L'ettlncr It at once the robber
shot Pollock, thtn beat him over the
head until unconscious, tooic !fio,uuu
worth of diamonds from -his pcrcon
stopped the train and lied. Ho has not
et been caught.
Labor Troubles in Europe.
On November 8, a great meeting of
unemployed workmen was held at
Tower Hill London. Afterwards they
'ormed a precession oand marched
through the streets. The office of the St
James Gazette would have been mobbed
if it had not been for a strong force of
police men wco teat off tho mob.
At Brussels tho capital of Belgium,
bands of workingmen marched the
streets shouting for universal suffrage.
The constitution of Belgium has just
been revised, and universal suffrage
was rot adopted. Suffrage was con
fprred on all householders, but not on
others. Thero are many workingmen
who are too poor to own -nouses, wno
are demanding tho right to vote.
Frightful Wreck in England.
Railroad accidents are not quite so
frequent in England as in America, but
they are equally frightful when thev
do occur. - On the morning of Nov. 2,
an express train running sixty miles an
hour from Edinburg to London ran into
a slow freight. Tho cars were terribly
smashed ud and immediately took fire.
Thirteen persons were killed and more
than twenty wounded. A number of
aristocrat personages vrpve in the rear

IT' HAD CONE.
The Road Was There In War Tlmei But
It Cleared Out.
The old National road as it wa
called, leading from the Eastern sea
board to the West and South and con
stituting the main public thorough
fare in the pre-railroad epoch, takes
part of its way through the hill coun
try of Eastern Kentucky, and along
its dovious and devilish route I was
jolting and bumping one day in a
buckboard when I met a "red brush."
How are you?" I said to him.
How d'y'?" ho responded.
Got any worse roads than this
around here?"
Soma"
WhereP1'
This un when you git about two
miles furder down the crick. ?"
I thought the old National road
ran through this way."
It does."
Where is it?"
Well, this used to bo it," he 6aid,
drawling out the words, "but it dis
appeared durin' the war an' haint got

I hadn't the slightest doubt of tne
accuracy of a portion of his state
ment savs the writer in tho Detroit
Free Tress, and with a mournful fare
well bumped along."
WOMEN AS COURIERS.
Alphabet Suppers.
"Alphabet suppers" are getting to
be quite a craze in some parts of the
country. The young people of church
societies arrange for an evening
lunch the name of every article of
which begins with tho same letter.'
Each member is instructed to provide
a portion of the feast and a forfeit is
levied against delinquents. A "B'
supper, for instance would include
bread, beans, butter, bananas, beer
(possibly), beef, brick cheese (by an
elastio construction of the rule),
bologna etc.
Circumstances Alter Case.
Husband How much did that hat
cost?
Wife Five dollars. Isn't that
cheap?
Five dollars is a good deal of
money."
An hour later.

A New Operfiiiff Which Promises Plea&ant
I'uiplojrinrnt.
In the numerous schemes for pro
viding "our girKs" with employment
one outlet which might be greatly
developed has been overlooked The
lady courier is not yet to the front
IJut she ii likely to bo so. I traveled
a short time ago with one. She in
formed mo that she spends as much
time in the steamers and railways as
a queen's messenger or the indefat g
ablo mother of the prince of Bulgaria.
As her life is a wearing one. she
stipulates for handsorre fees, says
Londoa Truth. They are often given
ungrudgingly to her. and she is
boarded and lodged as though she
were a duchess when traveling with
rich and delicate ladies. The lady
courier 1 expected to be as well
posted as the man courier. The one
1 had tho pleasure of talking with is
sometimes employed to escort young
ladie3 from one end of Europe to the
other, and is sufficiently well born
and educated to go with them, if
need be. into society. She made a
number of sea voyages as an assistant
stewardess to make herself proof
against sea sickness, with which she
is no longer troubled.
One of her troubles is being expec
ted, when she travels with dull per
sons of her own sex, to amuse them.
As they only care for gossip, and like
It to bo ill-natured, she backbites to
their heart's content But to guard
against the danger of mischief. mak
ing she invents her characters. They
do quite as well as if they were real.
When she deals in eulogium she no
longer draws on her imagination. A
son-in-law of this useful person is a
colonel.
The halcyon day of this lady courier
were when South American Repub
lics were being loomed in the Stock
Exchanges and money flowed in a
steady stream to Buenos Ayres. The
ladies who came thence to see life in
Europe were indolent . spent freely
the capital which their husbands
found means of getting for the asking.
They never quarreled with her for
high charges, but she had to spare
them every kind of trouble, and even
that of choosing their confessors in
cities where they were strangers.
Tho lady courier I speak of is ne
gotiating the purchase of a villa on
Lake Como. She hopes soon to be
rich enough to retire and live there.

Mr. Gadder All right By the
way, I said to Mr. Prompt to-day:
What do you say when your wife
has been gadding about all day and
hasn't the dinner ready?" And what
do you think he said?
Mrs. Gadder, blushing furiously
What did he say?
Mr. Gadder He said: "My wife
doesn't gad about all day, and she al

Mrs. Gadder breaks four plates ana
