Returns received from ninety counties give McFarIand.173. 179. and Chamberlain 170,543; McFarland's plurality, ?,C3G. It is estimated that the other nino counties will increase McFar land's plurality to 3,441. a net gain of 10. E00 over last year. This insures tbo elec tion of the republican state ticket by about 4,000 plurality. Henderson Elected In the Third. CniCAGO, Nov. 10. A dispatch from Des Moines, la., says that Henderson is elected by 265 majority. The official count to-day will not change the result materially. NEBRASKA CLOSE. Boyd, Democrat, Elected Governor An Alliance Legislature. Omaha. Neb. Nov. 11. Returns from 55 out of 89 counties in Nebraska give the fol lowing totals on candidates for governor: Richards, republican, C9.236; Boyd, demo crat, 73.325, Powers, farmers alliance, 71. 143. Tbo four counties not yet heard from gave a total vote last year of 1,157, of which 707 were republican and 450 democratic. Tbo total voto of the state exceeds by fully 15.000 tbo vote cast for president in 1S8S. an increase which In an off year is extra ordinary. While the race is close, a care ful estimate gives Boyd a plurality of nearly 1.000. Estimates give tbo-republi-cans the most of the state ticket, with the exception of governor, while the alliance will have a working majority in the legis lature. SOUTH DAKOTA. A Close Call for the Kepnblleane Pierre the Capital. St. Papl, Minn.. Nor. 11. In South Da kota the independents concedo the election of the republican state ticket, and the latest returns seem to Indicate the election of a republican majority in tbo legislature. Pierre has con the permanent capital By from S.000 to 10.C03 majority, -Ithough Ruron does not yet concede that fact. Chairman Peeniilcr, of the democratic com mittee, conceded the election of both re publican congressmen and most of the state ticket, but claims enough of the legislature to give a majority to the alliance and dem ocrats. THE VOTE OF ILLINOIS. Completo Official Returns tTIUoa's Fin- mlity. 7.873; Kama's. 32,973. Complcce official returns of the election of state ofiicers from every county in Illi nois give Wilson, the democratic candidate for state treasurer, a plurality of 7.873. and Raab. the democratic candidate for super intendent of public Instruction, a plurality of 3C.973. The total vote of the state is C73.2J2 for state treasurer and only ten I votes less for superintendent of public in struction. The prohibition vote was over 20,000, or almost as much as in 16SS, when Gen. Fisk polled 21,603. The democrats will have 1C0 rotes in the Thirty-seventh general assembly, the republicans 101, and .the independents 3. The s:nato will stand as follows: republicans, 27; democrats, 24 Tho house iaali:,-up will oe: Democrats, 73; republicans, 74: independents, 3. HASAtHCSETTS DEMOCRATIC. Govcrnor aril Auditor Win Over the Re- publican NanTnecs. Boston, Xov. 11. The vote for governor sbens an overwhelming dcxnoctatlc victory. Returns cn tbo votes for minor state officers are not complete. Democrats elect Treferejr auditor oVer Ladd, the present Incumbent, by about 6,000 plurality, but the republi cans elect the lieutenant governor, secre tary of state, treasurer nd "ttrr$y gen eral. ThesebftU! will consist of 21 republi can"! ah'd 19 democrats, and the house of 130 republicans. 100 democrats and 1 indepen dent democrat. This is a republican loss of 6 In the senate and 23 In tho house. Tbo vote for governor is: Russell, den;, 14I746 Brackett, rep.. iai,6Mi BlacktncF-, pro., 13,831. Iho followitag is the result in the cohgressiohai districts; tirst; kahdali; rep.; Second; Morse; repM 'Third, Arid rows, de'm.T fourth, O'Neil. dem.; Fifth, Hoar, dem.; Sixth, Dodge, rep.; Seventh, Cogs well, rep,; Eighth, Stevens, dem.; Ninth, Willis, dem.; Tenth, Walker, rep.; Eleventh, Coolidge, dem.; Thirteenth, Crosby, dem. The congressional delega tlon thus stands ? democrats and s repub licans, a gain ot 5 democrats: MINNESOTA. Got. Mrrrlam Re-Eleeted. 6t. Padl, Nor. ll. With all but three counties reported in Minnesota, and most of them official, the rote for governor stands! Merrlam, rep., 62,220; Wilson, dem., B0.GG3I Owen, alliance, 53,440 1 Merriam's plurality, 1,557. The other counties and official fig ures from some of the counties already in cluded in the count may change this a little but not materially. Goi Merrlam ran behind bis ticket and all the rest of the republican state ticket is elected save auditor, Bicrmann, dem., with alliance indorsement, securing the place. The alliance voto will probably be increased by later figures from the Fifth district, which was its stronghold. In that district there seems to be no doubt that Halvcrson, alliance, is elected to congress by a plu rallty of over 20,030. Llnd, rep., wins over Baker, alllance-dern., in the Second, by over 1,000 plurality. PENNSYLVANIA. now Honors Were Divided in the Key stone Slate. PritLADELPniA. Nov. 11. The plurality of Pattison, democrat, for governor. Is brought up to 17,258 by changes In computing tho ofllcial count. Watres, republican, for lieu tenant governor, has 18,075 plurality, and Stewart, republican, for secretary of inter nal affair, 19, 12 J. Seventeen republicans and 11 democrats were elected to congress. The official returns from all counties show the election to congress of 17 republicans and 11 democrats. For the Mate senate 10 republicans and 16 democrats were elected, which, with tbo hold-over senators, will give the new senate 30 republicans and 20 democrats. In the lower branch of the leg islature there will be 122 republicans, 80 democrats and 2 fusions, making a repub lican majority of 50 on the joint ballot, a republican loss of 52 as compared with tbo present legislature. The new legislature will elect a United States senator to suc ceed J. Donald Cameron, whose term will expire March 4, 1691. WISCONSIN. Republicans Lose Everything But One Congressman. Milwaukee, Nov. 11. The official returns of the First district to-day show the elec tion of Babbitt, democrat, over !Cooper. re publican. This leaves only one republican congressman In Wisconsin, Haugen. in the Eighth district, who has about 1,000 major ity. The republicans suffer a net loss ot six congressmen, besides the legislature, which will probably elect ex-Secretary Vilas to succeed Senator Spooner, although other candidates arc springing up. Peck, democrat, for governor, has a majority of 30,000. KANSAS. Entire Republican Stato Ticket Elected. Kansas Citv, Nov. It. The official can rass of the vote in Kansas has progressed far enough to show the entire republican state ticket elected, with the exception of Kellogg, who is defeated for re-election as attorney-general by Ives, farmers' alliance. The republican majority is placed at about 10,000. The vote on congressmen is changed by the official count. The Kansas delega tion stands 2 republicans and 5 farmers alliance. The legislature is still believed to be farmers alliance. NEW HAMPSHIRE. An Uncomfortably Close Run for Both Sides. Concord, Nor. 11. All towns In the state except two give Tuttle, republican, for gov ernor. 42,405; (Amsdcn, democrat, 42,378; Fletcher, 1.269. McKinncy, republican, for congress. First district, has 1,131 plurality. The republicans have the house by working majority. CONNECTICUT. Morris Electe I Governor by m Small Plu rality. Hartford, Nov. 11. The official vote of the state by the first returns which cast out the prohibition vote in many towns, show that Morris has 57 plurality. With the pro hibition vote in he is defeated. An apparent error in some of the returns gives Mcrwln. republican, for governor 18 additional votes, giving Morris an apparent plurality of 27. It is not decided yet whether cither is elected. The legislature is repub lican. WASHINGTON. Republicans Hold the Legislature. Seattle. Wash., Nov. 11. Returns and estimates from all counties give Wilson, republican, for congress a plurality of 6.000; Olympia, for capital, 1,700 majority. The republicans have a working majority in the legislature. NEW YORK. A Democrat Will Succeed Erarts In the Senate. New York, Nov. 11. Associated Press reports show that the democrats will have on joint ballot 81 votes against 79 for the republicans. This insures the election or a democratic successor to Senator Evarts. INDIANA. Nearly Everything Goes Democratic Indianapolis. Nov. ll. Official returns from the state at large are just beginning to come in. The democratic majority will bo about 18.000. The only republicans elected to congress are Waugh in the Sixth and Johnson in the Ninth districts. The legis lature is democratic in both houses and has 69 majority in joint session. SOUTH DAKOTA. Pierre Gets the Capital. Pierre, Nov. 10. The board of trade has complete returns from every county on the capital location, which show Pierre's ma jority to be 6.500. The official count in tho different counties throughout the state next Tuesday cannot change this 500 cither way. CALIFORNIA. Republicans to the Front In the Golden State.

The republicans hare carried the others. MICHIGAN. Results Still DeubtX.l la tho Welrerlaw Stat.

The commit tee concedes the defeat of McKlnley, repub lican, for congress by about 200, and Foster, republican, by 75 or 100. The democratic candidates in the other close congressional districts received majorities tanging from 500 upward, with the exception of Cosgrovg; at Cincinnati, who , ls defeated by Storer; republican, by 2,700.

HE "SU'PRISED ELIZA How Farmer Roberts Astonished His Good Wife and Caught A Hard Cold; .Tohti Roberts, of North East, is a farmer well enough to do, but he had al ways been eccentric about his clothes. Until a week or so ago ho had not been known to buy a new suit of clothes for years. The ones he wore had been so often patched and repatehed that no bit of the original warp and Woof was visi ble. This personal slovenliness on the part of her husband was a source tif con stant annoyance to Mrs. Roberts, who is a woman of exceptional neat ness. She long ago became so ashamed of his appearance that she would not longer accompany him to town to do her trading. This singular char acteristic; of the farmer was not owing to penuriousucss, for he is a liberal roan in all dealings. A few days ago he went to town to do a little trading, and, to tho utter astonishment of tho town, ho pur chased a new suit of clothes for himself. His new clothes were done up in a pack age, and he placed the package on tho wagon seat beside him when he started home that night. It was a dark niglit. Farmer Roberts had got half way homo whem a brilliant idea struck him. He stopped his horse on a bridgo where the road crosses the east branch. "I'll do it. by gum!" he said. "I'll do it and su'prise Eliza!'1 Thereupon the farmer rose up in the wagon and began to take off the patched and repatehed clothes he had worn so long. As he removed a garment he tossed it into the creek until he had tossed them all in. and had nothing on but his shirt. "Great apple sass!" he exclaimed. "Rut won't Eliza be sur prised !"' Then farmer Roberts reached for the package that had his new clothes in. It wasn't on the scat. Farmer Rob erts got down and reached under the seat. The package wasn t there. Then he. felt all over tho bottom of the wagon. The package wasn't anywhere on the bottom. Farmer Roberts rose up in the wagon and looked back along the pitch-dark road. Then he climbed back in his scat, and away the horses went for home. The night was chilly and there was three miles to go. When Farmer Roberts reached home and climbed out of his wagon he paused. "The hull idee didn't work," said he, "but I'll bet SO that I su'prise Eliza." That he did no ono doubts, but when he got up in the morn ing and went out to the barn, clad in tho hired man's overalls, and saw his pack age of new clothes hanging by its strings on the brake handle at the side of the wagon he was a little surprised himself. To Preserve a Piano. Pianofortes must be kept dry and free from the least particle of damp, as damp ness rusts the strings and pins, inflates the felt and leather, utterly ruining the action work. For this reason on wet and foggy days the window of the room in which the piano stands must not bo left open without the instrument being covered up. It is not wise to piace a cottage piano forte with its back against a wall that is exposed to the influences of the weather, or one having a chim ney flue running through it; neither should it be placed too near the. fireside, where it would be liable to en counter direct and undue heat. To pre vent the keys of the instrument from be coming yellow it is requisite to wipe them with a soft wash leather each time after use, and to keep them covered with a piece ol white flannel reaching from one end of the keyboard to the other, Extreme degrees of heat and cold are fatal to the cabinetwork and polish of a pianoforte. When not in service it is prudent to keep the piano closed, especi ally during the summer months, as the moths having once found access to the in ner parts of the instrument, do vast dam age; besides, ordinary dust clogs and is destructive to mechanism. In cases where cloth lining is tacked at the back of cottage pianofortes it is advisable to replace it by wire gauze, and any open ing at the bottom of the instrument must likewise be covered up, in order to pre vent mice from finding a comfortable 're treat in one of the secluded corners un der the key-board is their favorite spot in the piano. In country and farm houses mice being more frequently fonnd in such resorts this is practically requisite, as these pernicious little creat ures build their nests with the felt and cloth torn from the action.

Lincoln, Nov. 10. Tho republican state central committee has about concluded that tho face of the returns will show that Rich ards, the republican candidate for gov ernor. Is defeated by a small plurality, and that Boyd, tho democratic candidate, is elected by less than one-third of the votes polled at the last election. The committee claims, however, the election of" the entire republican ticket. The independent stato central committee docs not concede any thing. They had the most perfect organ ization in the late campaign, and claim that they were able to calculate within a few thousand tho votes they should have received. They claim that the face of the returns will show the election of Powers governor, or that there has been fraud at the polls, and are already taking steps to contest the election of Boyd, democratic candidate, should he appear to be ahead. This contest will be tried by the legislature In joint session, with the speaker presiding, and as tho legislature is overwhelmingly independent it is safe to say that Powers will have the benefit of the doubt if doubt exists. It is almost certain, therefore, that no inauguration of governor will take place until after the legislature has canvassed the returns and ascertained who lias been duly elected. How the Next Lrglslature Will Stand Po litically. The following have been elected mem bers of tho legislature. The straight re publicans are marked "II." the demo crats "D" and the alliance "A."

THE WIZARD'S WORK, Edison Said to Be Perfecting Some Start ling Ditcverlra. One of Edison's assistants says tho "Wizard" has declared his intention to equip an airship which Will admit of practical utility for atrial travel. Another idea which if perfected, will revolutionize the telegraphic world, is undergoing ex periments by Mr. Edison. The new dis covery consists of a combination of metals known only to the inventor which will, by connection with terra firmn, carry sounds a great distance. Inasmuch as the earth Is the permanent connection, which obviates the necessity of teleraph Wire being run double be tween two cities in order to make tho circuit, the idea seems quite feasible. Mr. Edison lias already conducted his experiments on this idea to such an ex tent that by standing out of ordinary hearing distance one can distinctly hear the faintest whisper. The "Wizard" is quoted as saying that if electricity can be analyzed and accounted for there will be no ditliculty in using it to its fullest capacity. Queer Laxcar Sailors. The British steamship Mameluke, at Spreckels refinery wharf, lias a crew of sixty East Indian coolies, commonly called Lascars. The ofiicers of the ves sel speak very highly of them, and say they would rather sail with them than with a white crew. They arc docile, obedient, and trustworthy, in this re spect differing from the Malays, who are extremely treacherous. Some of their peculiar customs are very amusing to Americans. For in stance, they always eat their food in the open air, with their faces toward the west, and the greatest insult a white man or "Gcaour" can offer them is to walk between them and tho sun while they are eating, causing his shadow to fall on their food, which immediately be comes unclean. Their appearance is rendered peculiar by their habit of shaving their heads, leaving but one tuft at the side for "tho Prophet" to drag them into Paradise by. When married they wear a ring on their big toe, They stand the cold remark ably well, and make good sailors, being as active as monkeys. In running aloft they ignore the ratlins and use the back stays, a perpendicular wire rope, which they literally walk up. Philadelphia Itcojiil. Twas Uood Enough for Him. The following anecdote is told of Gen. Moltkc: Traveling in Switzerland, he came once to Z. and walked to the hotel. As the head waiter of the stylish and well-known establishment saw his gaunt figure stalking in, wrapped in a worn out, dusty cloak, carrying an old leather satchel, he measured his wealth by his looks and ordered the assistant to show him into a small room in the uppermost story. Moltke followed without remon strance. As he was making himself comfortable in the attic another assist ant came, as is customary there, to ask the silent stranger to register his name and rank. This created no small con sternation in the office of the Hotel B. The consequence was that a few minutes later mine host, with a retinue of "kell ner," and in full dress, appeared at the attic door to inform his excellency that a better room had just been vacated in the "Beletage." "Give that to my servant,"' replied Moltke, "when lie comes with your carriage. This is good enough for me." And he remained. A Singular Runaway. A singular runaway is reported from South Brooklyn, X. Y. A woman named Gildersleeve, who had lived with her husband for over thirty years and had borne him four sons, some of whom have attained manhood, has left her home because, as she states in a letter, her husband had not furnished her means to properly clothe herself and had refused to give her the money to have her teeth attended to. She therefore secured a place at S14 a month, and with her earnings for a year she said that she proposed to have her teeth properly cared for, and with the balance to buy clothesto last her duringlife. Then, if her husband would receive her, she in tended to return to him, as she loved him- Mr. Gildersleeve has searched in vain for his wife; says he provided liber ally for her and furnished her a horse, but did not approve of her having false teeth. Southwest of Suez a party of French surveyors have discovered the bed of an ancient canal running for miles in the direction of the Red sea, which it seems to have connected with tho basin of the Mediterranean.

A NARROW ESCAPE. 3ea. Berran, Hoadnfaa' President. Had to Flcht Tor His Lire Th Freeent 81t- uatioa. 8an Salvador, Nov. 14. President Ezeta is In receipt of a telegram from President Bogran, of Honduras, In which the latter admits that ho has been forced by Sanchez to evacuate the capital and temporarily ct up his government at Tamas, a small place a few leagues from Teguclgalpha.

Sanchez and cscapo from tho Camayagsela Ward of Tegucl galpha, where Sanchez soldiers had him hedged in. Many were killed and wounded on both sides. Ezeta publicly announced on receipt of the first news of the revolution that it was the principle of Salvador to remain entirely neutral, and moreover not to permit any other Central American country to meddle in the Internal dissensions of its sister rc republic. This same stand has been also taken by Nicaragua and Costa Bica. It is believed there Is a secret understanding between these two countries and Salvador to prevent any aggression or meddlesome interference on the part of Guatemala in tho Internal affairs of any of the other republics. If Barillas sends an army to the relief of Bo gran Ezeta will send troops to Honduras to head It off. KOCH'S CURE. Particular) of a Case of Lapse of the Face. Behlin, Nov. 14.
