DE COUNTY 10 STATE
Elected all the County Officers With
Reduced Majorities—Some
Doubt in State.
From the returns at hand, it looks like the Democrats have made almost a clean sweep in Indiana and other States where elections were held Tuesday, as well as electing all their candidates in Hancock county, but by reduced majorities.
The returns have been turned in so slowly that many localities are in doubt as yet in this State and other States. 1IAN COCRjCOU NTY.
In Hancock county the entire Democratic ticket was elected from Strickland for representative down. The majorities of two years ago were reduced considerable in some instances, however.
Pinley H. Gray for congressman, lead the ticket, as did Euhn. the candidate for congressman two years ago.
A majority of the Democratic township candidates are probably elected. Only about 85 per cent of the normal vote of the county was cast, as high ae 40 and 60 staying out in one precinct.
The Democratic State ticket is thought to be elected, with possibly one or two exceptions.
Probably twelve and possibly all thirteen of the Democratic candidates for congressman are elected by varying majorities.
The State Legislature will be Democratic, according to returns received. A surprise was the election of a Democratic representative in Rush and also in Vanderburg counties. This was the first Democratic county candidate elected in Vanderburg in over twenty years.
Marion county went entirely Democratic and this result was a surprise to many, although it had been predicted for several days preceding the election.
DLX KIJ3CTK1J IN NEW YORK.
The New York Democrats elected Dix aB governor of that State by a majority estimated at close to 100,000 and the entire State ticket is elected. Stimson, the Republican candidate, senthis congratulations to Dix early in the evening, when it looked like a landslide from the first returns.
KOSS IN MASSACHUSETTS.
The returns early Wednesday morning gave E. N. Foss, Democrat, the governorship of Massachusetts bv from 30,000 to 50,000.
Harmon is thought to be elected governor of Ohio by probably 50,000 majority. The returns Tuesday night kept the watchers guessing as to the outcome and this was the case in many parts of the country.

AFTER-ELECTION TREND IN H06 PRICES DOWN
Supplv Small, But Decline Is Fifteen
To Thirty Cents.
Indianapolis, Ind., November, 9. Receipts—4,000 hogs, 1,050 cattle and 300 sheep against 5,919 hogs 1,681 cattle and 458 sheep a week ago and 10,924 hogs, 1,361 cattle and 672 sheep a year ago.
There was a loss of nearly 1,500 hogs, compared with the daily average this month and tie receipts were comparatively small. Conditions, however, were generally favorable to buyers and there was a decline of 15c. to 30c and in the average, 20c. There was olso a greater difference between light and heavy hogs than for some time, with heavy selling at a premium over ot hers. The range in sales was from $7.85 to §8.15, and most of the supply sold at $8.50 to $S.10.
There was a small supply of cattle in all departments, with scarcity of choice stock. Buyers evidently have been well supplied with the cheaper grades, and on account'of a poor dressed beef trade, there was a lack of orders, which caused a quiet market at prices generally 10 to 15c lower than yesterday. The feeder trade was dull, there being few country orders. Bulls and calves were steady.
Receipts of sheep and lambs, in proportion to the supplies of other kinds of stock, were fair, but there were few top kinds and the run altogether was no larger than necessary to accommodate the local trade. The quality was not as good as it had been and there were fewer sales around top prices. Otherwise the market was steady with yesterday. Lambs sold for $4.00 to $6.25, and sheep for $2.00 to $4.00.

Burglars Drove Out In Buggy and Se
cured Watch and Money—Door
and Window Open.

The burglars are very high toned, as they drove out in a buggy from town. The sitting room window aud kitchen door were open and the summer kitchen screen wire broke loose Tuesday morning. The burglars evidently entered thronghithe window and then opened the door so they could make a quick get away if necessary.

REVIVE OLD WELLS GAS IS PLENTIFUL
Gas Well Wizard of Knightstown Re
newing Flow in Abandoned
Wells.
Herbert Estelle, the gas well wizard of Knightstown, has brought to life and renewed activity a well belonging to Robert S. IJeaton, situated at the west end of town, between Brown and Main streets, says the Knightstown Banner. This well was drilled some two years ago, and at the time Estelle went to work on it, the gas flow wa« at a very low ebb. Today it shows a strong pressure and Heaton is more than pleased with the result obtained.
Some time ago Sam Pritehard tratled for a gas well which belonged to the Pine Street Gas Company. This is located on West Pine street, just west of the Big Four tracks and has been in use about seventeen years. It was practically useless. Estelle went to work on the well about the middle ot October, and now it shows a substantial blaze and has a back pressure of forty pounds.
Mr. Pritehard is using the gas from this well at the home in the city and the fires and the lights never go out. In the trade a lot of old gas pipe was given in exchange for the well.
Mr. and Mrs. Olla Walton aud daughter, Florence, of Itushville, were here yesterday to attend the'- funeral of Robert W. Smith and to visit the families of Bert and Carey Walton ... •.,

Close and Treasurery Enriched—
$13,356 Last Day.

RETURNS SLOW
But Few Precincts Heard From Before
Midnight—Some Trouble
Reported.
Probably" because of the mucn scratching of ballots, the counting in Hancock county was tedious and the returns came very slow from the precincts in this county. Only four precincts were heard from definitely before midnight and at eight o'clock Wednesday morning there were three precincts to hear from. There were Vernon No. 1, Center No. 5 and the Shirley precinct in Brown.
It was reported Tuesday night that some trouble occurred there that delayed the returns. Crowds were gathered at both the Democratic and Rupublican headquarters to hear the news and many remained all night to hear not only the local news but returns from the district, state stnd other states. The unusual conditions that prevailed, caused considerable interest in the election results which seemed to be in doubt in this county until about half the precincts were heard from. The canvassing board were at their post all night%and completed their work Wednesday morning.
Both Legs Are Broken.
jabez Apple, a prominent farmer of Rush county, sustained fractures of both legs Monday morning by being thrown under a wagon loaded with wheat. He was waiting for the wheat to be weighed, at the Wilkinson elevator, near the Pennsylvania Railroad, when his horse became frightened at a passing train. In his effort to get hold of the lines he slipped under the wagon anil the rear wheel caught both legs just above the ankle.

THE AMENDMENT
Only About Ten Per Cent Voted for
or Against Proposed Amend
ment
The proposed amendment to the constitution fixing the qualifications of attorneys was almost overlooked by the voters in Hancock county, only about ten per cent taking any notice of the question in any way. The majority of the votes cast on the question were for the amendment, however.
In a crowd of nearly a dozen business and professional men Tuesday night, all admitted that they never voted on the question and in fact stated that they never thought of it while in the booth at the voting places. The proposed amendment will probably carry.

E6G5 GOINGF HENS ARE CHEAPER
Good Time To Lay In Bis of Eggs-
Demand For Poultry Is Good
And Increasing.
With eggs at thirty-five cents in November it is argued by some consumers that now is the proper time to lay in a bin full as is done with potatoes, ih order that they will not have to pay the price which they anticipate eggs will sell at in January and February, says an exchange. Although eggs are the highest which they havej, been in several years at this time of the year there lias been little advance in the price of laying hens. The latter are selling at from fifty to seventy-five cents each. Poultry dealers say that the demand for hens is exceptionally good and believe that there will be more families raising poultry than ever before.

To Make Good Spellers.
A teacher who found her younger pupils very deficit in spelling, has used this device with success. Each day the children write the spelling words from dictation, writing each word on every other,line of the paper, dividing each into syllables. The papers are exchanged and corrected. Each child then takes the scissors and cuts ont each word spelled correctly, cutting each syllable apart. The cuttings are put in a box, each child takes a handful aud is given two minutes to put as many wovds as he can together. The next minute he may go to any near neighbor and take any missing syllable. If the words are put in the box each day, at the end of the week the excitement becomes very great, as fifty or more different words may then be made. &

Henry Hasting Took Shot at Man
Raiding Hen Roost Was Loaded
for Bear.
A man who undertook to raid the hen rooet of Henry Hasting, of Tague street, knows this morning that he has been some place, as he made broad and deep tracks through the vegetable patch with shot singing at his heels. Henry was ready for prowlers and when he heard some one at the rear of the house, he dressed quickly and grabbing his shot gun, he slipped out at the front door. As the man ran south from the house, Henry let drive at him, with no other results apparently, but Jto hasten his already tremendous speed. Mr. Hasting 6ays he hinks the man came only to rob the hen roost and not to burglarize the home.

H06 CHlERAlSHELRy
Resort to Vaccination to No EffectNone Reported Here.
Considerable hog cholera has been reported in Shelby county recently and a number of hogs have died. In some parts of the county vaccination is being resorted to in order to experiment as to whether or not that has a tendency to check the spread of the disease, but it does not seem to do much good. One surgeon stated that he believed the death of many of the hogs is due to swine fever instead of cholera.
So far there has been but very little if any cholera reported in this county and it is hoped that the farmers will escape the loss of their hogs this year.
