For Oil or Gas.

Special to j.ne journal. COLFAX, Ind., Nov. 7.—A company has beon organized here called "The Colfax Gas and Oil Company," with a capital of $2,500. The officers are: R. A. Clark, president B. F. Scott, vicepresident W. E. Dawson, secretary, and E. L. Darby treasurer. Mr. Dawson has notified the stockholders that the first assessment of 25 per cent, on cach share will be due Nov. 22. The company is incorporated under the State laws to bore for gas, coal, oil or any minerals or metals. There is no no doubt but what there is gas in or near Colfax, as it has been found while driving these wells lately. It will be a grand success if the citizens succeed in their effort.

In Memory of Little Kuth Peterson. [By Meffy.l "A simple'Child that lightly draws its breath and feels its life in every limb, what should it know of death," yet this 'little bud °has fallen just be fore its bloom. In its early spring it has flown somewhere, and beckoneth us to follw, it has not gone far we know, else how could it look so pure spotless and white? The little angel! A few days of suffering, so patiently borne and little Ruth has left us. She was the little daughter of Charles and Hannah Peterson, born at Old Dwight Mission, Indian Territory, March 6, 1894, and died November 3, 1894, aged seven months and 27 days. She was a little ray of sunshine sent to'their home to brighten it for awhile, teach them to know more of Heaven and draw them nearer there. Just why these precious little jewels are given us to gladden our hearts and homes and then taken so suddenly away, leaving our hearts sad and homes lonely, we caunot see: but we know it is an all wise hand that both giveth and taketh away, and we will yet trust Thee. As we see the strong father in tears, the tender, patient mother's pitiful anguish, our tears cannot cease to flow, for their hearts are torn and bleeding, yet why should they weep? For of such is the Heaven above them and we lift up our souls and cpray: "Father cleanse our souls as white as this little one's whom Thou hast called to aden

Thy kingdom.'" We extend to the bereaved, sad parents our sincere and heartfelt sympathy and "Praise the Lord the word was given that babes are made the heirs of Heaven."

The Women to Ulamc.

Prof. Peal, the ethnologist, recently described to the Asiatic society the condition of the head-hunting Nagas on the borders of Assam. The women are to blame for the continuance of the practice they taunt the young men •who are not tattooed, and the latter go out and cut off heads to exhibit to them, fully half of which are those of "women and children. The area occu' pied by the tribe is not more than twenty miles square, but in it during the past forty years more than twelve •thousand murders have been committed for the sake of these ghastly trophies.

MORTON WINS BY 145,000 PLURALITY.

Chairman Wilson Is Defeated for Kcturn to Congreai from West Virginia— Late Returns from

Other States.

ALBANY, N. Y., Nov. 7, 8 a. in.—Morton's plurality in the state is 145,485. Saxton over Lockwood, 134,170 Haigjit over Brown, 181,760. The total vote for the two leading candidates is considerably in excess of that polled for Flower and Fassett for governor in 1891, in addition to which are the votes cast this year for Wheeler (ind. dem.), which will exceed 20,000.

The tremendous republican sweep in the city and state, it is estimated, has elected twenty-three republican congressmen, a gain of eight over the present representation in congress.

From pluralities ranging from 85,000 to 125,000 in the district below the Harlem for the democratic party the republican party turns the city vote into 20,000 plurality for its state candidates.

The sweep also means that for the first time in many years the republicans will have control of the state legislature and at the same time have a governor in the chair in political harmony with them.

The results of the sweeping victory are more far-reaching than the election of the republican state ticket. While the returns are very incomplete on the. election amendments, it is highly probable, according to the first returns, that all of them are adopted. The percentage of loss, as compared with the vote for the head of the ticket, is not nearly so large as it was supposed to be and the result, therefore, is that the legislature will consist of 50 senators and 150 assemblymen that pool selling on races will be prohibited, and that a new judiciary system will be inaugurated.

Hill Carries the City of Albany. The complete vote in the city of Albany is: Hill, 11,486 Morton, 10,617 Wheeler, 88 Locltwood, 11,543 Saxton, 10,500 Brown, 11,589 Haight, 10,510.

Morton's Plurality In Brooklyn. NKW YORK, NOV. 7.—Morton's plurality in Brooklyn is estimated at 7,000 Hill's plurality in New York is not over 8,000. The indications are that Morton will carry New York and Kings counties by 20,000 plurality.

The Times bulletin says that the vote in Brooklyn on the consolidation of New York and Brooklyn is much in doubt.

Strong Defeats Grant.

The total vote for mayor, with 1.00 election precincts missing, is: Grant, 97,794 Strong, 137,487 Strong's plurality, 39,443.

Chairman Wilson Loses.

WHEELING, W. Va., Nov. 7.—The result in West Virginia is as much a surprise to the republicans as to the democrats. The landslide seems to have reached every district, with the possible exception of the Third, which is still claimed by the democrats. In the First district Chairman Delaplain, of the democratic committee, concedes the election of B. B. Dovenor (rep.) by 3,500. The republicans claim it will be nearer 4,000. Two years ago the democrats had 208 majority. This county alone gives 1,500 republican plurality, against 78 democratic plurality two years ago.

In the Second district the returns are coming in very slowly and what the result will be cannot be known for twenty-four hours. Mr. Wilson (dem.) is undoubtedly defeated, but the indications are that the majority against him will be small. Dayton (rep.), has made gains at all points heard from, but these are all on the railroads, and this was expected. The gains are larger, however, than the republicans had counted on to give them the district bjr 800.

In the Third the democrats confidently claim the election of John D. Alderson, but there are few figures as yet on which to base an estimate. If Alderson is elected it will be by a greatly reduced majority, not over 500. in the Fourth the vote is close, but the republicans are sure they have won. and the figures at hand baar out that belief. The majority will not be very large, however, as the democrats had 1,950 to start with two years ago. The legislature is democratic, the state being so districted that a popular republican plurality of 2H,000 would be necessary to give the republicans control.

probably elected sixteen of the twen-ty-two congressmen and a majority of both branches of the general as' sembly. They have certainly secured a majority on joint ballot in the general assembly and will elect the successor to Senator Cullom. Republicans estimate their majority in Cook county at 15.000, electing the entire ticket. The following congressmen are elected:

First district, J. Frank Aldrich (rep.) Seo ond, William Lorimer (rep.) Third, Hugh R. Belknap (rep.) Fourth, C. W. Woodman (rep.) Fifth, George E. White (rep.) Sixth E. D. Cook (rep.) Seventh.

to have elected eleven congressmen. It seems almost certain that the republicans have elected a majority in both branches of the legislature. Reports from the Fourth district indicate that William S. Holman (dem.), who has represented tha district for thirty years, has been defeated by James E. Watson, of Rushville. The legislature, it is estimated, will Btand about 65 republicans and 35 democrats in the house 80 republicans and 20 democrats in the senate.

in

Indiana.

INDIANAI'OI,IB, Ind., Nov. 7.—The democratic state committee gave up the state at 10 o'clock. Returns are coming in slowly, but it looks as if tilt republican majority in the state migh reach 4U,000. The republicans claius

i(

Ohio.

COLUMBUS, O.. Nov. 7. Ohio has broken her record on republican pluralities. The largest plurality heretofore was when John Brough (rep.), for governor in 1868, had 101,000 over Clement L. Vallandingham (dem.), the latter being exiled at the time in Canada. Last year Gov. McKinley carried the state by over 80,000. During the last twenty years the parties have alternated in carrying the state, the democrats electing Gov. Bishop in 1877, Gov. Hoadley in l'888 and Gov. Campbell In 1889.

While the republicans claim a plurality for Secretary of State Taylor of 125,000 to 180,000 the democrats concede that the republicans have made large gains over the McKinley vote of last year and have possibly beaten the Brough high-water mark of 1863. On the basis of the state vote the republicans claim seventeen of the twentyone congressmen, the present Ohio delegation in congress consisting of eleven democrats and ten republicans.

CLEVELAND, 0., Nov. 7.—All the returns indicate that this county has gone republican by nearly 6,000, or nearly as big a plurality as McKinley received a year ago. This insures the defeat of Johnson (dem.) for congress in the Twenty-first district by at least 8,000.

Iowa.

DES MOINES, la., Nov. 7.—The republican state committee claim its entire state ticket by 75,000 plurality and ten congressmen certain.

Michigan.

DETROIT, Mich,, Nov. 7.—Careful compilation of reports received by both state committees indicates the election of John T. Rich (rep.) for governor, over S. O. Fisher (dem.) by from 80,000 to 50,000 the whole republican state ticket is elected a solid republican delegation to congress, and Wayne county, in which, Detroit is located, republican on all offices except treasurer. Congressional nominees elected are:

First district, John B. Corliss Seoond, O. Spauldlng Third, Julius C. Burrows (reelected) Fourth, Henry F. Thomas (reelected) Fifth, William Alden Smith Sixth, D. D. Altken (reelected) Seventh, Horace Snover Eighth, Roswell P. Bishop: Ninth, William S. Linton (reelected) Tenth, liosseau V. Crump Eleventh, John Avery (re^ elected) Twelfth, S. M. Stevenson (reelected) —all republicans.

Minnesota.

ST. PAUL, Minn., Nov. 7.—Scattering returns from forty of the eighty coun ties of Minnesota indicate that Gov, Nelson i6 reelected, but it appears that his plurality will be a very small one, probably less than 500. The returns so far received show a remarkable slump of the vote to Owen, the populist candidate for governor. Twothirds of this has come from the democratic party, and the democratic candidate for governor has received soaroely 60,000 votes in a total of 265,000. Figures on congressmen indicate pretty clearly the election of five republicans and three democratic congressmen.

Figures at hand point to the election of a fusion senate, but the republicans seem to have a majority in the house sufficiently large to give them a •afe lead on joint ballot. Of the state ticket the populists and democrats have elected Willis associate justice of the supreme court, and the democrats seem to have chosen Bierman auditor. The republicans elect lieutenant governor, secretary of state, treasurer, attorney general, chief justice of the supreme court and clerk of the supreme court.

Pennsylvania.

PHILADELPHIA, NOV. 7.—The republican plurality in this state is about 250,000. I11 this city republican Congressmen Bingham, llarmer, Reyburn and Adams are reelected by increased majorities. The democrats lose their seat in the Third district formerly held by Samuel J. Randall, Frederick Ilallerman (rep.) defeating Joseph P. McCullen (dem.) by about 4,000 majority.

Wisconsin.

MILWAURUK, -HV... MN OIIUAZRA have elected Maj, W. M. Upham governor by from 85,000 to 40,000 plurality, and with him goes the republican state ticket. They have elected nine out of ten congressmen. Milwaukee city and county have gone republican by 7,000 or 8,500 plurality, the populist vote running up to 8.000, an increase of 5,000 over their strength in the spring. In the next legislature the republicans will have a clean working majority in the lower house, but the senate will probably be in dispute until the official returns are received.

Now Jersey.

TRKNTON, N. J., Nov. 7.-^-Returns come in slowly. Those at hand indicate the election of sufficient republicans to give them the legislature bjr a majority of 23 on joint ballot, which insures the election of a republican successor to Senator McPherson. Republican leaders claim the election of their congressional candidates in the First, Second, Fifth, Sixth and Eighth districts.

Allen L. McDermott, chairman of tne democratic state committee, says that the republicans have carried the legislature in both branches and that Gen. William J. Sewell will be New Jersey's next United States senator.

New Hampshire.

CONCORD, N. H., Nov. 7.—Returns are coming in very slowly on account of wire interruptions. They all show republican gains. The legislature will be largely republican, and there is no doubt of the election of two republic an congressmen.

California.

SAN FRANCISCO, NOV. 7.—The estimated returns frotn thirteen counties outside San Francisco give republicans

for governor 1,000 plurality. The chairman of the republican state central committee claims the republicans will carry the state by 20,000, the city of San Francisco by 500. the legislature by a comfortable majority and all seven congressmen.

Massachusetts.

BOSTON, NOV. 7. Massachusetts is carried by Greenhalge (rep.) by over 60.000. The republicans have elected eleven congressmen. The First district is in doubt and the democrats elect Fitzgerald by 3,000 in the Ninth district. There was a slump of 18 per cent, in the democratic vote in Boston and a republican gain of 1 per cent

Rhode Island.

PBOVIDENCE, R. I., Nov. 7.—Up to midnight complete returns had not been received from either of the congressional districts in Rhode Island, but the figures at hand leave no doubt of the success of Bull (rep.) over Lapham (dem.) in the First district, and Arnold (rep.) over Garvin (dem.) in the Second district.

Delaware.

WILMINGTON, Del., Nov. 7, 8 a. m.— Returns at this hour indicate that the republicans have carried the state by 800 majority.

Nebraska

OMAHA, Neb., Nov. 7.—From present indications Judge Holcomb, the fusion candidate, has been elected governor by 5,000 plurality.

North Dakota.

FARGO, N. D.. NOV. 7.—Returns are coming in slowly. Returns so far show Allin (rep.) for governor, running ahead of the ticket. Allin's election by 5,000 plurality is claimed by the republican contral committee. The democrats conced it by 1,000. (M. H. Johnson rep.) is reelected to congress.

Utah.

SALT LAKE CITY, U. T., NOV. 7.—Republican estimates are that Cannon (rep.) for delegate to congress, will have 1,100 majority in the city, but this is not conceded by the democrats.

Oklahoma.

GUTHRIE, O. T., NOV. 7.—Returns so far from counties on railroads indicate that D. Flynn (rep.), for delegate to congress is elected by 2,500 plurality.

Idaho.

BOISE, Idaho, Nov. 7.—Democrats concede that Wilson (rep.) is elected to congress. Careful estimates give the state to the republicans by 2,000 for the entire state ticket. The legislature will be close, though in all probability republican. Senator George L. Shoup will probably succeed himself.

Wyoming.

CHEYKNNI, Wyo., Nov. 7.—Incomplete returns received from the twelve counties of Wyoming indicate the election of Frank W. Mondel (rep.) for congress by at least 1,1. DO plurality. William A. Richards (rep.) will also be elected governor, with the balance of the state ticket in doubt. The republicans claim, ten majority on

SPOKANE, Wash., Nov. 7.—Reports from throughout t,he state indicate that the election of the two republican congressmen is in doubt and that it is probable the republicans have lost the legislature. Two years ago the republicans carried all parts of the state by large majorities. The democrats have made heavy gainfe and the populists have gained strength. Reports are coming in slow.

How Politicians Advertise.

A Rival to Rubber.

Cloaks! Cloaks!

It is one of the remarkable facts of existence that when a substance that has hitherto been deemed: indispensable fails us, there are others brought out almost immediately that appear not only to take its place but to far exceed it in utility and the range of usefulness. A new material, bearing the name of cellulose, is said to be composed of exactly the same elements as starch. It will absorb any color, takes polish readily, may be turned in a lathe or rolled into flat sheets of any desired thickness and stamped into plates, pans, trays, boxes, book-covers or almost anything of a similar character. Made liquid and used as a sine, it is 'admirable as waterproofing and has a thousand uses that could not be found in rubber. It is said to be exceedingly tenacious and will be a perfect substitute for glue. As the rubber crop has not in all particulars been satisfactory, this new material will be hailed with enthusiasm by consumers who appreciate high-class productions at reasonable prices.

An Experiment In Cooperation. Agneta Park, near Delft, in Holland, is the result of an interesting experiment in cooperation. A tract of ten acres has upon it one hundred and fifty houses, each with its little garden and with certain common buildings and common grounds. The houses are occupied by the employes of a great distilling company, who form a corporation which owns the park. Each member owns shares in the corporation and pays rent for his house the surplus after expenses are paid comes back to him as dividends. If he wishes to go away or dies his shares are bought up by the corporation and sold to the maq who takes his place.
