KmniAt,
At 10 p. m. Tuesday very meagre re
turns indicate republican gain in the
county elections held over Kansas. In
Shawnee county the whole republican
ticket is elected by a gain of 20 per
cent orer last year. A very light vote
was polled all over the state. Heturns
received up to midnight Indicate that
the republican gain ove r the state at
large will average 10 per cent. The
republicans have elected 8 out of the
12 candidates for district judge in the
state and the only two candidates for
state senators.
We- York.
Return from state and city so far
received indicate that the republicans
will have about the same majority in
tho next assembly a In the last, the
democratic gains in New York city be
ing offset by losses in the smaller coun
ties, Tammany is rejoicing over the
defeat of Astemblyiniin Kobert Mazet,
republican, by Perez M. Stewart. He-
turns from eighty-four of 103 districts
in liuffulo indicate a landslide for the
republicans. Thomas II eney, republi
can for district attorney, will probably
have over 10,000 plurality.
New Jarr.
The returns at midnight Indicate
that the republicans have carried New
Jersey by about 20,000 plurality, al
though there was no direct vote on a
state ticket. Republicans will control
both houses of the legislature by good
working majorities and will have an
Increased representation In the house
of assembly. The next assembly will
be composed of forty-one republicans
and nineteen democrats as against
thirty-seven republicans and twenty
three democrats last year.

FEAT IN BRIDGE BUILDING
Iron Sabttltuted for Wood In One Hoar
and Twelra Minute.
G. J. IJishop, general superintendent
of bridge construction for the Hock
Island railroad, accomplished a won
derful feat in bridge-building on the
line near Lincoln Tuesday. The old
wooden bridge at the crossing of the
Rocklsland line over the Ilurlington's
Kansas City line, two mile south of
the state penitentiary, was removed
and a new, 73-foot iron bridge dropped
in its place, and the line was reopened
without delaying a single train.
The new iron structure, weighing
eighty tons, was transported from
I'okeby on flat cars, covering the three
mile with the heavy load in thirty
minutes. The bridge crew arrived at
the scene of the work at 8:22 in the
morning. At 8:50 the iron work had
been lifted clear of the cars that had
carried it and was blocked up; at 8:57
the cars were run out from under the
iron structure; at 9:25 the old bridge
underneath the new one had been torn
away and the new bridge lowered to
the concrete abutments. At 9:45, or
just one hour and twelve minutes after
the Iron work for the new bridge had
arrived at the place, flagmen were
called in and the line was reported O.
K. for trains. While the work. was go
ing on, a Burlington train passed un
derneath tho bridge. Thirty men, two
locomotives, and one bridge car with
steam windlass and cables, were re
quired in the work.

Visitors in the agricultural building

and finding that the lights were out,
many of tho people left tho grounds.

As early as lOpclcek the republican
leaders, while not yet ready to concede
the state, were fully satisfied in their
i own mind that it had been- IcM by
i about 10'). fiome of the more de
spondent ones were inclined to think
i that it might be half as much more.
' To say that they wtrv surprised is
putting it mildly. The only explana

found a gain of about nine

to a pre-
aid by the
secretary that the indications pointed
to the election of Holcsmb by about
10,000. He believed, howevc. that the
later returns would show smaller gains
per precinct than -those first , received.
Reports from Douglas county at 1 a.
m. were that 52 precincts showed a fu
sion gain of 701, and that the" republi
can county ticket was probably do
featcd.
ISotematcr Concedes It.
Holcomb, fusion candidate fcr su

ten thousand votes. Edward Rose
water, editor of the Dec. at midniirht
, conceded the state to the fuslonists,
, due. he thinks, to the onnositlon of thn
foreign voters to policy of expansion,
More votes were cast this year than
last, there being gains for both repub
lican and fusion candidates, but Hoi
comb's gains arc larger than those of
Reese. One hundred and five precincts
give Reese 10,460 and Holcomb 10.G13;
last year republican 10,240; fusioi
9,701.
I.-incattcr County. .
Returns from seventeen Lancaster
county precincts and nineteen city pre
cincts give Reese 4,409 and Holcomb
3,325, leaving Reese in tho lead by" 1,03 4
votes. His majority in the county will
fall below 1,000 when the returns are
In.
Aaron Buckstaff la probably de
feated for county treasurer by William
McLaughlin. Returns received show
Buckstaff 2,980, McLaughlin 3,509.
The fuslonists claim the election of
McLaughlin for county treasurer, Fred
Shepherd for county judgo and P. H.
Cooper for sheriff.
The race for sheriff is a close one
with chances favoring Bransou, the
republican candidate. The returns ie
ceived show Branson 3,234, Cooper
3,085.
The result of tho vote for county
judge Is very close." Frahlclt. WntorB,
republican, has 3,203, so far ns heard

Holcomb carries Omaha. Sixty-seven

r&asUd eoffte beans in shape and
joior. They were alio known as tfco
"Jumping bean, owing to the fact
that from tine to time tbey made
ipaimodlc movements which propelled
them quite a little distance. Tho
beam grew on a email bush In th
Mexican mountain, acd It is con
jectured that they belonged to the or
der eophorblaceae. Tfce bean really
tonsisted of three similar pods which
formed a single ban. It is usually a

is a curiosity. On opening the pod it
was found that it contained a small
larra, something like that frequently
found In chestnuts. It li this little
sccupant which gives motion to tho
bean by its Jerks and thuja pi against
the side of its home. If the btaa la
illgbtly warmed It begins to turn
from side to side; and perhaps with a
tudden thump turns completely over

luccetslve Jumps ovts quite a dis

cret arc often greatly puzzled by this
itrange bean. An gnterprislcg Jew
sier" devised ' a scheme 'of utilizing
them to, make a magic clock. He ac
complished his by imitating the shapa
of two of the beans, making tho
dummy beans out of soft iron. Ono
be gilded and the other he silvered.
The prepared Iron beans were placed
with the ordinary jumping beans on a
thin white piece of pasteboard, out
lined and numbered like tbe dial of a
clock, but devoid of hands. The
dial was located over the works of a
large clock, which was placed face
upward on the floor of tbe store win
dow. He fastened small magnets to
the ends of tbe hands. The works
were of course' carefully hidden from
view. All that was In evidence was
the cardboard clock dial and tho
Jumping beans, among which were the
gold and silver painted iron beans.
These were placed on the cardboard
aver tbe concealed hands with tho
magnets attached. The magnets were
moved by the hands of the clock so
that they verc almost la contact with
the cardboard. As they moved around
they carried the Iron beans with them
thus telling the time of day, and tho
public was greatly Interested by tho
Intelligence shown by the two beans,
which distinguished them from their
lively associates. Scientific American.

Young society people In Boston have
formed a "slang club," which has for
its purpose the cultivation of artistic
slang, and the society already num
bers its members by the score. The
more sedate of Boston's citizens wring
their hands In alarm at tho new idea,
for anybody who can Introduce a good
slang word Is eligible for membership.
As a considerable number of tho cllto
ot Boston's society have already been
proposed it seems that the new so
ciety has made n very fair start in in
troducing new slang words. A com
mittee Is at work on the formation ot
a slang dictionary, and It has discov
ered that New York's Bowery does not
contain half as much warped and
twisted English ns lurkB In and around
Boston. Members of the slang club
argue that slang ls.an art, and that a.
real good slangy word expresses far
more than any conceivable sentence.
As far as lies in their power they will
promulgate slang In the society in
which they move, and once society gets
permeated well, then "we shall spec,"
as one of the slang club members ob
serves. A member of the slang club
Is known as a "slanger." A man is
more definitely known as a "canary,"
while a woman Is known, It she is
pretty, as a "fairy," otherwise as
"rice," Every week "yellups" are held,
at which everybody talks slang, and
"breker," or food, is served to every
body who has the "dough."

tho samo time the bridal pair did, al
though he was driven to a different
railway station. As ho passed through
tho station, carrying his traveling bag,
ho was aware that ho was creating a
lensatlon, but was totally at a lors to
tccount for It, In the car ho found
that ho was still the object of amused
mention. The porter positively snlck
ired as ho passed his seat, and finally
is tho train drew out he came up and
isslsted tho churchman to remove his
