The Sorosis club met with Mrs T. J. Gist on Wednesday after noon. Sixteen members respond cd to roll call. During a busi ness session , the club decided t < extend an invitation to Mrs Southwick , of Boston , f o r ai evening's entertainment. Mrs Southwick will be remembered a the lady from the Emerson schoo of oratory who read here tw < years ago. The afternoons pro gramme consisted of interestinj papers on the following subjects The Life of John Paul Jones , b ; Mrs. Fast ; Civil Service by Mrs P. H. Jussen ; and Municipal Re form , by Mrs. Geo. Jennings Mrs. Gist played two fine instru . mental selections at the close o [ 4 ? an unusually pleasant afternoon Dainty refreshments were served Tbe Election The election on last Tuesday resulted in a complete victory for the republican state ticket. Judge Letton won by a plurality of about 17,000 and V. G. Ly- ford and Fred Abbott were elected regents of the university by about the same figures , Judge Lelton gained over Judge Barnes two years ago and the result in general is very satis factory to the republicans Mr. Lyford one of the newly elected regents resides it this city and since the election has b en kept busy accepting the congratula tions of his friends , The cam paign throughout the state was marked by considerable apathy and a big republican victory was certain fro n the start. But in Richardson county there is a different story to tell. It was a complete democratic landslide , The campaign was conducted quietly but how well the work was done is told by the figures in the accompanying tabulated statement of the vote. While it was admitted by the republicans that in some in tances the contest would be very close but few were pre pared for the avalanche that came. The entire democratic ticket was elected with the exception of the coroner. The democratic leaders are much elated but are appropriating credit that does not belong to themselves. A close study of the figures show that they had abundant valuable assistance from the outside. Concerning these things , it is not necessary to go intodetails. Those familiar with the politi cal situation can figure it out for themselves. The day passed very quietly in Falls City. The vote was about tnormal and nothing oi interest occurred until the be f ginning of the count in the eve ning. Then the handwriting soon appeared on the wall in big lurid letters. A straight ballot wis a curiousity : md men seemed to have studied ways and means by Avhich they might cut their ballots into all kinds of fantastic shapes. Temporary ary republican headquarters were opened at the telephone office and Supt , Crocker presid ed at the phone breaking the news as gently as its nature would permit Democratic headquarters were at the law office of Edwin Falloon and there Mr. Falloon , Clarence GHespie , DaveBrannin and W. S. Ley da held open house and congratulated the successful candidates as they chopped in from time to time. By mid night the result was pretty gen- erMly known and the crowds at the headquarters and the poll ing places disiippearcd and the next morning the sun came up as usual and the old world mov ed in the same old way and an other election had became his- lury. Falls City Flour. A house to house canvas of Falls City is being made by agents selling the Gold Medal Hour which is manufactured at Mmneapoles , Minn. While these agents have not been guilty of misrepresentation , some Falls City housewives have bought the flour under the im pression that it is the product of the Falls City mill. This is a mistake that should be care fully guarded against. The brands made at our home mill are Magnolia. Sunflour and Crown and purchasers of flour should see that they get one of these three brands , This is the only way to build up the mill and the building up of the mill means a great deal to the town. In all other instances where it is possible to buy home made goods. similar precautions should be taken. J. S. Lord came down from Salem on Friday last. Died. J. G.
