Brvan as a presidential candidate is doomed to disappointment -and defeat. Hss defeat, while not so overwhelming in popular vote as in his previous campaigns, yet in the electoral college he shows but the same strength as 'in 1896 and 1900. There is no question but what he has grown tn the popular estimation of the people, yet as a candidate these same people shout their admiration of his excellent qualities, his sincerity and his honesty and then vote fnr the otfior fellow.

the story now being written one of victory. Governor-elect Thomas R. Marshall has won a signal victory. He won it by his strong personal charm, his striking individuality, and the belief I that there was no pretense or false show about him. He brings into pub- ■ lie life a new element of the indepen- ■ dent, and if we mistake not, you will i hear much of Thomas R. Marshall. As a chief executive of this great state, he will be that chief executive in fact as well as In name, and it will be unnecessary to pay a dollar to a Chautauqua course to find it out. For a second time John A. M. Adair ‘ has swept the eighth congressional district. This time his majority great- ' |ly exceeds that of two years ago. and ' this illustrates the fact that the people not only believe and trust j him. but they also believe in reward- ' ing the meritorious service of a worthy ' ' public servant. Congressman Adair ■ has grown immensely in the estimation of the voters of the eighth district, and he bids fair to continue in their good graces for a long time to come. The handsome majorities accorded the local Democrats on the county ticket Is a testimonial to their standing as citizens and Adams county. They should now double their energies to serve in their several official capacities with zeal and energy. Along with many victories there is always some heart burnings. Much regret is being expressed over the defeat of John Lose for trustee of this i Washington township. Mr. Lose is a 1

good citizen and a Democrat always, and he deserved better treatment from the voters of big party. HITS TEACHER WITH POKER. Kansas Educator Was Whipping Boy When Brother Interfered. Emporia. Kan., Nov. 4. —When Miss Hester Smith, teacher at the Wooster Mound school, nine miles east of here 1 started to whip Orson Martmard. an 11 year old pupil, Frank, the boy's brother, who is two years older, j’ltnped up behind the teacher and struck her across the head with rhe stove poker. Miss Smith was knocked down by the blow and blocd came from her ears, and although an ugly welt was . made on her head, the doctors say . they think no serious results will fallow. Miss Smith says the oider boy < pulled her hair while she was down and the younger one tried to get at , her. but was held back by one of the older girls of the school. Miss Smith 1 i regained her feet quickly and sueI ceeded in wrenching the poker from her assailant and drove the boys from the room. Complaints were sworn out against the boys in juvenile court. School has been dismissed and will not be resumed till after the hearing. Miss Smith says she whipped the younger boy and that the boys said afterward that father said they shouldn’t be whipped. —-—o DE SAGAN LOSES NOTE SUIT.
