n. S. D. . DSC. 10.Special. ( . ) When
the popttllfit leglslrt'.uro of Inst winter h d
completed Its legislative gerrymander they
thought that the state had been so divided
that even with a large republican majority on
the genoru ! ticket they could yet carry
through a populist legislature. The vote at
the judicial elections this ( all Rliows that re
gardless of the popullflt bill It would bo pos
sible for republican legislative success , even
with n small majority generally.
The returns show that the following coun-
ll s which gave populist majorities last year
have switched over this year : Brooklngs ,
Brown Unite , Clay , Davidson. Day , Edmunds ,
Fall Illver , Hand , Hanson , Jorauld , Kings-
bury , McCnok , Marshall , Mcado , Minor , Mln-
nuhiiha , Moody. Potler , Stanley , Union , " \Val- \
worth , and the unorganized counties which
tiavo been attached to organized counties for
legislative purposes.
The vote ot the different counties and logls-l
latlvo districts , In the late election , show !
th > H on the same kind of a vote next year thr > j
political complexion ot the two house ? would ]
bo : House , republican , sixty-four ; populist ,
twenty-tin 05 , a republican majority-of forty-
one. Senate , republican thirty-two ; popu
list , thirteen ; republican majority , nineteen ,
the new ! apportionment. Increasing the mcm-
liorshlp from forty-thrco to forty-live la the
senate and from clghty-threo to eighty-
Bcvcn In the house.
This estimate gives the republican counties
In the Third circuit , which gave majorities
tor Bennett , to the populists , and It Is not at
all likely that they would give any such a
majority , or In fact any majority to ( ho pop
ulist ticket In the general election. But
whllo th'a Is the o ) e , there are populist
counties which gave republican majorities on
the Judicial ticket which would undoubtedly
go hack to populism on a general election , and
taking these two classes as an offset to one
Another , the vote Just as returned In given In

DENVER , Dec. 10. A special from El Paso ,
Tex. , says : Meager particulars- were received
In this city late last night from San Slmcti , a
small station just east of Wllcox , Ariz. , on
the Southern Pacific , ot a train holdup.
Train No. 20 , the Sunset limited , had Just
left Stein's Pasa , N. M. , near the Arizona
line , when the engineer noticed a danger
signal In front and Immediately applied the
air brakes. No sooner was the train brought
to a step than five men stepped out from
their hiding places near the tracks , all heavily
armed. One covered the engineer and fire
man with hla rifle , whllo Iho others gave
their attention to the train proper , more
especially to the express car , firing their guns
In the air and otherwise frightening the
passengers.
At this Volnt the guards In the express car
.took ft hand In the fusillade. Thirty or forty
shots nro tald to have been fired by both
sides. Ono Wells-forgo guard , Jennings by
name , succeeded In killing Robber Cullen ,
who was nearest to the car and who was
evidently the leader , for as SOCH as the other
robbers noticed his body lying on the ground
they lost courage and made a break for their
horses , but another bullet from Jennings' rlflo
evidently struck ono of the fleeing robbers , us
ho was seen to fall and was assisted out of
range by his comrades.
No express money was stolen and nciio of
the ( xissengers were hurt.
DEMING , N. M. , Dec. 10. The name ot
the dead robber has been ascertained to be
"Sandy" Cclllns. Collins , until recently , has
been employed t a cowboy In the San Simon
valley rcnges In eastern Arizona , and his
companions , Instead of being the "Black
JackJ > gang , as originally supposed , are now
known to have been a band ot cowboys or
ganized for the single purpose of the rob
bery which was attempted.

larger than lost year npd 3.9 per cent target
than In U32. A striking comparison for live
years shows that In each ot the last three
months earnings have bten Greater than In
uny previous year , with a larger Increase
In November than In October or September.
The sudden rise In December wheat at
Chicago to Jl.Cfl would do harm were It not
based on avowed contracts to ship some
millions of bushels to Europe. That fact
and the continued foreign demand In spite
of such contracts has helped a rise of Hie
here. Western receipts for the week were

last year , and Atlantic exports. Including

NEW YORK , Dec. 10. nradstieet'a finan
cial review tomorrow will toy ;
Public Interest In speculation has In
creased to Bomo extent , but the activity nnd
strength of this week's market were again
largely duo to professional manipulation.
Thu president's messace , rnoro particularly
the part relating to Cuba , was favorably
received by the street and It U apparently
conceded that the danger of untettlliig asl-
tatlon of the Cuban question In congress
haa been materially lessened
The leading operators , Tvho have taken
hold of the share market on the bull side ,
nre supported In their attitude by the In
creasing activity In bonfl * nml the large
Investment demnnd at advancing figures ,
the. movement haying now extended from
hlidi grade securities to the uucond class ot
railroad mortgages ,
Large Increases In railroad earnlnji con-
tlnuo to bo ono ot the chief factors In the
situation nnd rumors nro current rcjr nllnff

by a number of companies. Tl > announce
ment that dividends ot 1 per cent on the
preferred shares of the reorganized North
ern 1'nclflc hnd begun waa fully expanded
nnd nldpd In giving currency to the many
rumors of Iho same kind In regard to other
operations.
It is tiuc thnt early In the week the street
hnd one disappointment In regard to an
extrn dividend on fugnr stock which waa
not declared. The general market , however ,
manifested a disposition to cut loose from
sujcnr nnd 'Wns Indeed somdMint inclined to
disregard other unfavorable , f.ictors.
London 1ms continued to sell ! > p.\rlimly In
tMs market and the indications from Wash
ington seem to bo that despite tlio careful
treatment of the currency question by the
president , there 13 little hope ot any legisla
tion whatever by congress on this subject.

WESSON , Miss. , Doc. 10. Full particulars
of a most brutal murder have Just como
to hand. Almost the entire family of Drown
Smith , a respectable whlto farmer , 35 years
of ago , was killed with a club In the hands
of Charles Lowls , a negro. Smith was work
ing at a gin a few miles from his homo ,
which Is situated about two and one-half
miles from Pearl river , on the cast bank , In
Lawrence county and In a wild country.
The IIOUBO Is off the main road and no white
family lives within two miles ot It , al
though several negro families live near. It
was one of these negroes , who on Wednes
day , sometime between noon and
darkness , crept up to Smith's house
and assaulted Airs. Smith , then
bmlned her and then to forever hide his
crlmo ho began on the six children , only
sparing a babe , which he lett untouched. The
work was not done os well as he thought , for
one of the children , a little girl 5 years of
age , regained consciousness and when her
father entered after his day's work she told
him the name of the jnurdercr. The
mother and four children were found dead
and dying In the yard , showing how they had
struggled to escape.
The father and husband Immediately
sounded the alarm and a posse was organized
and late yesterday afternoon the negro was
captured , carried to Montlcello , the county
scat ot Lawrence county , ami at 7 o'clock
was carried back to the scene of his crime ,
where ho was fully Identified by the little
girl. It la said ho was promptly lynched
after the Identification by a largo crowd of
Infuriated citizens who had joined In the
search. It is greatly feared that a wholesale
lynching may take place In that neighbor
hood , as the country la excited to the highest
pitch.

Consolidation.
NEW YORK , Dec. 10. It Is more than
possible that within the next few days the
great bulk ot the cracker and biscuit bust-
ness of the United States will bo controlled
by a combination of the three corporations
that now share the trade among themselves ,
says the New York Times. These three cor
porations are the New York Biscuit com
pany , the American Biscuit and Manufactur
ing company and the United States Biscuit
company. It Is generally supposed that the
Now York Biscuit company will bo the head ,
as It Is said to have been the chief promoter
of the combination. The three-fold process
of absorption has gene on until these thrco
great companies now stand without rivals ,
except among themselves. The combination
now forming will put an end to the limited
rivalry 'that existed , and thcro will then bo
ono biscuit concern that will control the
entlro trade of the country , Its combined
capital will bo J25.000.000 or $30,000,000.
Rumors are current to the effect that Philip
D. Armour of Chicago and J. D. Qllmore
the banker of this city , were the chief promoters -
motors of the organization. This has been
denied at the ofllco of tha New York Blscull
company. It was learned from this company
'
pany that the officers'of the three big con
cerns Interested In forming this combination
are now In this city to complete the details
of the union. The headquarters of the now
organization will probably bo established In
this city.

MADE MOTHER WELL
iickness Driven from Another Home by
Paine's Celery Compound ,
Women , mothers of families , have no more
right to live beyond their strength than be
yond their Income.
The greatest Injustice that women do them
selves and their children Is putting off get
ting well. Headaches , nervousness , dyspep
sia and melancholia lay their leaden fingers
over the whole household.
Palno's celery compound has driven sick
ness and gloom from Innumerable homes ,
where some loved member was the source of
continual anxiety and oven despair. The
constantly repeated successes ot this great
Invlgorator In making people well have
roused many persons who thought themselves
destlued unredecmably to lives of Imperfect
health to try Paine's celery compound.
No ono can read the following letter with
out being Inspired with confidence In this
great remedy :
C5D Elm Strteet , Buffalo , N. Y. , July 23.
About eight years ago , after the birth ot a
child , I suffered terribly. I could not get
help from over a dozen physicians to whom
I applied , and after receiving treatment from
the last doctor continually for nine months ,
waa pronounced cured and continued so uutll
the birth ot another child , when I was
obliged to commence doctoring again ,
although all Imaginable treatments had been
esorted to without one particle of relief.
I was subject to neuralgic troubles and
lightly rheumatic , and I became discouraged
nd melancholy , feeling that I should never
gain be a. well woman.
I waa In a pitiful state , when my husband ,
who had been benefited by the use ot Paluo'i
celery compound , urged mo to try It. In
remarkably short tlmo after I began taking
the remedy I began to notice a change for tha
better. Before I had taken three bottles I
was well. I consider my euro a mlruclo , for
I had tried a great many doctors and different
drugs and spent hundreds of dollars In vain.
Respectfully yours ,
MRS. KATE HENNKSSEN.
Close , careful observation of great number *
ot cases like the above led Professor Edward
E. Phelps , M. D. , LL. D. , of the Dartmouth.
Medical School , to the formulation of Palno'
celery compound.
The success of this universally well known
remedy In quickly driving out disease from
the lilood and system need not be retold to
newspaper readers.
Paine's celery compound restores to a
healthy state i weakened and diseased nerv-
cus system. One of the first evidences of Its
building-up vlrttio Is In the gain of flesh no
ticeable about the face. Night sweats and
nervous twltchlngs are things of the past ;
there Is a great Improvement In looks , a hot
ter appetite , sounder sleco , a clearer skin
and more regular functions. These are a
few ot the outward Improvements. More Im
portant Is the thorough and radical purifying
of the blood and the regulating and building
up of the deep-lying nerves all over the body.
Thcro Is nothing half way or partial In the
effect of Paine's celery compound. It cures
permanently.
