Governor Plalsted | and his council decided Monday night [ that the correct majority sustaining that holding was 758. The contest ' has been a peculiar one. The election i was held September 11th, almost two I months ago, and was first declared “dry” by 300, Later the vote in four j t cities was changed and the “wets” were said to have won by 26. A comparison of the entire vote was then I made and the results continue Maine ! in the “dry” column. The governor j now says he will call a special session of the legislature for February to enact new laws capable of honest enforcement. Today is election day in many j states. In Indiana municipal contests are on in about four hundred incorporated towns. In the following states governors will be elected: Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland. Massachusetts, Mississippi, New Mexico, Rhode Island. New York elects supreme court justices and a legislature, Ohio choses delegates to a constitutional convention, Nebraska elects ; judges, California has interesting I fights for municipal officers in several large cities, including San Francisco, and there is something doing in nearly every state. There is especial interest in the New Mexico election where they are voting for the first time as a state and selecting a full quoto of officials, and the battles in Ken- 1 tucky and Massachusetts have been I exceedingly exciting. The bulletins announcing the results will be awaited with much interest. Misses Agnes Costello and Agnes Kohne were Fort Wayne callers this afternoon.

PEST OF THE SOUTH PACIFIC i ! Jack London's Description of the NowNow, Which Rivals the New j Jersey Mosquito. The following story from Jack Lon J don's recently published “The Cruise of the Snark” indicates that the Jer sey mosquito has a rival in the “now-, I now: ” “I made the strategic mistake of undressing on the edge of a steep I bank where I could dive in, but could i I not climb out. When 1 was ready to I dress I Lad a hundred yards’ walk on the bank before I could reach my clothes. At the first step fully 10,000 ■ ! now-nows landed upon me. At the i second step I was walking in a cloud.’ By the third step the sun was dimmed : in the sky. After that I don’t know ■ what happened. "When I arrived at my clothes I was a maniac. And here enters my ; grand tactical error. There is only one rule of conduct in dealing wifli I now-nows. Never swat them. Whatever you do, don’t swat them. ! "They are so vicious that In the instant of annihilation they eject their last atom of poison into your carcass. , “You must pluck them delicately be- ’ tween thumb and forefinger, and per- ; suade them gently to remove their proboscises from your quivering flesh. ;It is like pulling teeth. But the dlffi- ■ culty was that the teeth sprouted | faster than I could pull them, so I swatted, and so doing filled myself , full of their poison ‘This was a week ago. At the present moment I resemble a sadly neglected smallpox convalescent”

HISTORIC MOUND AT MEMPHIS On Its Summit De Soto Was Received by the Chickasaw Chief in 1541. Under the lead of the residents of the southwest portion of the city, there is a renewal of activity for the purchase of Jackson Mound Park and a small amount, of adjacent property as an addition to the public park system. Pedpie favoring the purchase have drawn up a petition which sets out why they think that the property should be purchased by the city. “These mounds have a historical value that is beyond calculation. Upon the summit of one of them, in May, 1541, De Soto was received by the Chickasaw chief. This was twentythree years before the birth of Shakespeare; it was sixty-six years before Jamestown was settled; it was sev-enty-nine years before the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock. It is, therefore. the oldest landmark in the United States. Beneath the bluff here during the Civil war the gunboat Arkansas was built. “Being such a historical landmark, it is highly important that the city should own and keep sacred forever this memorable spot.”—Memphis Commercial Appeal.

Wanted Deg Massage. Because Alexandria hotel. Los Angeles, refused to massage her bulldog with electric appliances, Mrs. Henry T. Phillips and maid of New York refused to register. Mrs. Phillips had three maids, a man servant, and a brindle bulldog. “Before I register,” said Mrs. Phillips to the chief clerk. Mr. Sibbaid, “I must be assured that my dog will have sanitary quarters with plenty of light and sunshine Ido not expect to take him to my rooms, but he must be massaged by the barber with electric appliances.” Mr. Sibbard gasped his astonishment, then politely and gently declared that “it was against the rles.” “Very well, then," the woman snapped, Indignantly. “Come, give me the chain boy. Come. Brutus,” and she swept from the lobby to a taxicab.— Exchange. Smokers’ Faces Tell It. A cigar dealer in one of the stands at the Union depot in Kansas City can tell what kind of a cigar a man smokes just by looking at him. He becomes quite proficient in reading men's faces so far as their purchases of tobacco warns Is concerned. “I have been In the cigar business 26 years,” he said. “It has been my experience that a dark haired man, with a dark complexion, wants a heavy smoke, a 'Havana' cigar. A light haired man with a fair skin prefers a light smoke. The dark man enjoys a pipe, while the blonde likes the cigarette. The most trying demand the cigar man has to hazard is, ‘Give me a good cigar.’ There are some exceptions, of course, but if a dealer followed my rule of light and dark he will generally please the customer.” Lamp for Matching Colors. U. S. Consul Augustus E. Ingram of Bradford, England, reports Cue invention of a new lamp for matching colors by artificial light. The source of light may be a metallic-filament incandescent electric lamp or a gas or petroleum incandescent 1 .p. The advantages at the new lamp are cheapness, uniformity in the quality and quantity of the light given and great illumination. The light filters are formed of a special blue glass with a special green glass, and the results have been excellent Before and After. As the anthem was ended the preacher arose, relates the Rain's Hern, and began to read from Acts 20: “And after the uproar was ceased.” i But at the elose of the sermon ths choir rose and sang: i “It is ttose to awake from sleep.”

SAYS GIVE THANKS Date of November 30th as Designated by Taft Will be Observed. Indianapolis, Ind., Nov. 7 —Governor Thomas R. Marshall Monday issued the annual Thanksgiving Day proclamation, as follows: “Our ancestors had their sacred days of fasting and of thankfulness. } Upon the one they bowed themselves before an angry God and in sackcloth 1 and in ashes repented of their sins and prayed that the cup of suffering might pass from them. Upon the other I they lifted the light of their coun- J enances to the light of ineffable and t greatly rejoiced that He had not so dealt with any people. Whether wisely or not, who can say, the day of fasting has passed into innocuous dessitude. The day of thanks remains a vita! date in our national life. The j figure of the Nazarene looms so large-| ly upon our civilization that it may even be hoped that soon the whole' world will be kind and that the measure of our gratitude will not be material, but rather spiritual: that Hodden-Gray and broadcloth shall not mark the sons of different men, but children of the same Father. “In accordance with custom, the president of the United States has ( designated Thursday, Nov. 30, 1911. a? Thanksgiving Day. Upon that day let all the people of this state return sin- I cere and heartfelt thanks to the of all peoples for strength of body and peace of mind, for bread of life and for life’s bread, for friendship ties and faith in Him. And may that larger eternity which is enveloped in love embitter our bread if we feast while' our brother fasts. On this day lei him who hath proven his right to stewardship by disbursing to him who I hath not. And may the beauty of the ' Lord our God be upon us and upon the day and upon the days to come “Given under my hand and the great seal of the state of Indiana, at the capitol in the city of Indianapolis, this 6th day of November, A. D., 1811.” John Mayer of Monroe, who was here this morning attending to some business affairs, left p.t noon for his home.
