Indications that the Republicans Will
Have Lower House by Forty
" Majority.-
St Louis. Complete returns to the
republican state headquarters here
fail to indicate exactly the outcome
of Tuesday's election regarding the
minor state offices In Missouri. Ac
cording to the figures four democrats
and three republicans have been suc
cessful, but Secretary Rush Lake of
the committee refuses to concede the
election of the democrats and says
that the official canvass must de
termine the results. The figures
show the election of the following can
didate's by the pluralities Indicated:
Judge of the supreme court, W. W.
Graves, democrat, 2,865.
Railroad commissioner, John A.
Knott, democrat, 1,800.
State auditor, John P. Gordon, demo
crat, 803.

democrat, 2,000.
Lieutenant governor, Jacob F. Gme
Iich, republican, 581.
Secretary of state, John E. Swanger.

Attorney general, Frank P. Fulker

The republicans probably will con
trol the State Board of Equalization,
which has supervision of $75,000,000
in property of public service corpora
tions in the state. The constitutional
amendments, including that proposing
the installation of the 'nitiative and

jected for lack of the necessary two
thirds majority.

HEARING ON TARIFF.
House Committee -Will Begin Taking
Testimony Tuesday.
Washington With the first hearing
on the proposed revision of the tariff,
scheduled for Tuesday, the active work
of the committee on ways and means
of the house of representatives will
begin in Washington, although it has
been progressing during the recess
of congress, at Auburn, N. Y., the
home of Representative Sereno Payne,
chairman of the committee. The hear
ings will be completed before the Six
tieth congress convenes for its last
session, but the program for the revi
sion does not provide for the presen
tation of the subject to congress un
til the sixty-first congress is con
vened next March in special session.
Judge Taft in his speech accepting
the republican nomination for presi
dent outlined in these words the pol
icy to be followed in revision:
"The republican doctrine of protec
tion, as definitely announced by the
republican convention of this year and
by previous conventions, is that a
tariff shall be Imposed on all import
ed products, whether of the factory,
farm or mine, sufficiently great to
equal the difference between the cost
of production abroad and at home, and
that this difference should of
course, include the difference between
the higher wages paid in this country
and the wages paid abroad and em
brace a reasonable profit to the Amer
ican producer."
It is understood that President Taft
will call together the new congress in
special session immediately after his
inauguration and in his proclamation
will repeat his previously expressed
views on the tariff question.
Iowa Lines up for Cannon.
Des Moines That most of the Iowa
members of congress will line for the
re-election of Speaker Cannon is confi
dently predicted here. Captain Hull,
the Seventh district member and now
oldest of the Iowa members, is known
to be committeed to the Cannon can
didacy and while he declined to dis
cuss the matter those who have been
trying to make headway in the Iowa
delegation against Cannon say that
Hull is firmly for Cannon. Another
who is committeed to Cannon is Con.
gressman Kennedy.
Democrats Claim Judges.
Columbus, O. Democratic state
headquarters, on Sunday added to
their claim of the election of Staley
Creamer as state treasurer another
claim that the two republican candi
dates for supreme court justices have
been defeated. They add that they
now have good reasons to concede
nothing on the state ticket until all
returns are in. as there is a fighting
chance for nearly all. J. H. Newman,
candidate for secretary of state, re
fuses to concede the election of Carmi
A. Thompson.

Taft Has Quiet Sunday.
Hot Springs, Va. "I really did
some great work at sleeping last night
and am already beginning to feel the
tired feeling disappear." This was
President-Elect Taft's comment Sun
day as from the wide porch of his
cottage among the trees he looked at
the red sun slip behind the mountains
over which lazily hung the blue
smoke of many forest fires. The Sun
day quiet which Mr. Taft enjoyed was
in striking contrast to the days of tur
moil he has gone through. He had a
few callers.

tary of the navy, Newberry; postmas

FINALS IN NEBRASKA
COMPLETE RETURNS ON EIGHTY
FIVE COUNTIkS.
CONGRESSMEN TWO TO FOUR
Cowgill, Democrat, for Railway Com
missioner, Has 680 Lead, with
Three Counties Missing.
Omaha Complete returns from
eighty-five Nebraska counties indicate
the republicans will save five state
officers and give the democrats three
below governor. The republicans get
two congressmen and the democrats
four.
me compilations show Cowles
(rep.) for land commissioner has se
cured a lead over Eastham (dem.) in
these counties amounting to 1,772,
which the five remaining counties that
four years ago did not have a repub
lican lead of over 500 together, are
not likely to overcome.
This would make the roll of state
officers as follows: Governor, A. C.
Shallenberger (dem.) ; lieutenant gov
ernor, E. O. Garrett (dem.); secretary
of state Dr. A. T. Gatewood (dem.);
treasurer, Lawson G. Brian (rep.) ; au
ditor, Silas R. Barton (rep.) ; superin
tendent of schools. E. C. Bishop
(rep.); attorney general, William T.
Thompson (rep.); commissioner of
public lands and buildings, Edward B.
Cowles (rep.); railway commissioner,
William H. Cowgill (dem.).
The figures from eighty-seven coun
ties complete on state auditor show
Barton to have a lead over Price of
3,841. Eighty-five counties on attor
ney general give Thompson a plural
ity of 4.285 over Fleharty. In eighty-
'five counties Brian leads Mackey by
2,607. It is apparent that for secre
tary of state George C. Junkin is de
feated by Gatewood, eighty-five coun
ties showing a plurality of 1,782 for
Gatewood. Cowles in the same coun
ties practically reverses the vote, se
curing 1,772 majority over Eastham,
who has been claiming election to
the office of lam. commissioner.
Computations on railway commis
sioner were altered Sunday by the
discovery of an error in computing
the Douglas county returns, which
give Cowgill now a plurality of 1,808
in the county and a plurality of CS0
in eighty-seven counties. The Doug
las county vote stands: Williams, 13,
8S1; Cowgill. 15,G99.
Results cannot be greatly changed
from these figures, whicn on railway
commissioner are minus the vote of
Blaine, McPherson and Keya Paha
counties, which two years ago gave a
majority of 2C0 for Sheldon. The total
vote in these counties was 6G6.
Figures on the various officers are
as follows:
Secretary of state, eighty-five coun
ties, Junkin, 12G.G40; Gatewood, 128,
422; Gatewood's plurality, 1,782.
State auditor, eighty-seven coun
ties, Barton. 130.C81; Price, 127,200;
Barton's plurality, 3,481.
Treasurer, eighty-five counties, Bri
an, 126.S91; Mackey, 124.2S4; Brian's
plurality, 2,007.
Attorney general, eighty-five coun
ties, Thompson, 128,082; Fleharty,
123,797; Thompson's plurality, 4,285.
Land commissioner, eighty-five
counties, Cowles, 12G.081; Eastham,
124,309; Cowles plurality, 1,7V 2.

TOO MUCH FOR YANKEE.
English Munchausen Had Shade the
Better of Fellow Romancer.
The Cape Cod man and the Lon
doner were traveling on the same
train together from Liverpool to the
capital.
"Yes," said the Yankee, "we do
have consid'rable fog out our way.
I've seen it so thick that the land
ladies of our summer boardin' houses
could ladle it out and use it instead
o' whipped egg for the heavy part of
the floatin island."
"We 'ave 'em, too, in London," said
his traveling companion, "but our
climate is too dirty to permit of our
eatin' It We burn so much soft coal,
you see, the fog gets packed full of
soot The only thing we really can do
with it is to cut it up into blocks and
use It instead of peat when wo want
a quick fire."
And the Yankee took out the little
American flag he wore In his button
hole and put it away in his wallet.

BOY KEPT SCRATCHING.
Eczema Lasted 7 YearsFace Was AD
Raw Skin Specialists Failed, But
Cuticura Effected Cure.
"When my little boy was six weeks
old an eruption broke out on his face.
I took him to a doctor, but his face
kept on getting worse until it got so
bad that no one could look at him.
His whole face was one crust and
must have been very painful. He
scratched day and night until his face
was raw. Then I took him to all tho
best specialists in skin diseases but
they could not do-much for him. The
eczema got on his arms and legs and
we could not get a night's sleep in
months. I got a set of Cuticura Reme
dies and he felt relieved the first time
I used them. I gave the Cuticura
Remedies a good trial and gradually
the eczema healed all up. He is now
seven years old and I think the trou
ble will never return. Mrs. John G.
Klumpp, 80 Niagara St., Newark, N.

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces
sary to use so much starch that tho
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trou
ble can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
or strength than other makes.
Would Risk One More Bottle.
A Frenchman from the provinces
who was paying a prolonged visit to
Paris found his hair was leaving him
at the top of his head, and took his
barber to task about it. "You sold me
two bottles of stuff to make the hair
grow." "It is very strange ft won't
grow again," said the modern Figaro;
"I can't understand it." "Look herei"
said the countryman. "I don't mind
drinking another bottle, but this must
be the last!" Philadelphia Inquirer.
