Chicago , St : Louis , Kansas City ,

went dcmocratic.
'rhc election in Falls City was
bitterly contested and thc successful -
ccssful candidate earned his vic-
tory.
'rhc republicans were badly
handicapped by the fact that
many members of thc party felt
bound 1 by hc action of the citizens -
zcns convention . and thc further
fact that quite a number ( al\\'a\ '
vote for the prohibition candidate
in , a municipial clcction.
The organization behind Lcy-
da was perfected by such old
wheel horses as Joe Miles , Clay
Davis an d thc Martins and other
prominent dcmoaats , which together -
{ ' gcthcr with thc expectant appointed -
pointed made an effective and i
winning 1igh

The saloon element was practi-
cally unanimous for i\Ir. : Lcyda ,
and opposed the republican tick
ct as usual.
'rhe friends of Mr. Dorring'ton
are not discouragcd. They feel
that a good fight was made and
. as good citizens we will abide by
,
the rcsult. The position taken
by thc republican bolters was not
unexpected , as they have passed
a good many campaigns out side
of the party lines , and whether
; . . " they wish it or not will pass a
' t1' - - good many more in thc same po-
sition.
Now that thc election is over let
every body work for thc best inte-
rest of Falls City , and thc success
of thc Lcyda alministration.

The "pernicious ctivitr" of
the tcbephone crowd must have
convinced even thc News that its
"ugly rumors" were without
f oun. ' a tion.
A prominent democrat said to
the writer 'l'ucsday. " Thc Mar-
tins are wortn more to the dcmo-
cratic party now that they arc
pretending to bc republicans than
the ) ' were when they were pre-
tcnding to be dcmocrats.

o'f Japan which extends from ,00
13. C. until the present is full of

mountains , the remaining two-
thirds b occupied by tort-t \:0
millions of people , The death
rate in that country is arming' '
being at a rate of one thousand
per hour , disposition of the bodies
being principally by crcmation.
Cord weaving or rope making oc-
cnpy thc time of thc Japanese laborer -
borer , and they arc also successful -

in length and weigh four pounds
while thosc worn by thc men arc
seven yards long and weigh three
pOl1lHls. Carriage hire is very
cheap , being five cents ocr hour.
Plastering the outside of thc
house as well as thc inside is an-
other one of tile peculiar habits
of thc J.Ianesc. ! A temple which
was constructed in the small
space of seventeen years has 800
arches leading up to it. Miss
Blunt during hcr sojourn in Japan
gave out one thousand six hun-
( lred _ gospels to thc soldicrs.
