FINDS IMMIGRANT'S TREASURE. ----- Owner of Old Farm Uncovers Can Containing $2,000 in Gold. Joe Prentice of Hebron, Neb., has found a buried treasure. Prentice formerly operated a hardware store in Sabetha, Kan. Prentice traded the store to John M. Evans, now a resident of Ohio, and got among other things a farm near Hebron, Neb. People laughed at Prentice a good deal because of the farm. When Prentice got hold of the farm, Evans told him the following story: "A party of immigrants were traveling over the country in the early days to seek their fortune in the far West. One night near the present site of Hebron, the party was attacked by Indians. A man named Wilcox or Wilson was wounded. The Indians were routed. The wounded man was taken to Fort Kearny, and his brother was sent for. When the brother arrived the wounded man told him as nearly as possible where he had buried more than $2,000 during the night of the Indian attack. The wounded man died, but the brother could not unearth the gold. Later the land where the money was supposed to be buried passed into the hands of Evans." Evans tried but could not locate the gold. Prentice paid no attention to the story. Some time ago while he was grading down the road near his house he uncovered on a steep incline a rusty can such as tomatoes and apples are put up in. Opening the can Prentice counted out $2,130.50 in gold and silver. ----- SMOTHERED IN GRAIN. ' Elevator Foreman Killed and Nearly Drags Rescuer to Doom. Patrick Dolan, foreman of the grain handlers in the elevator of the William Daird company, Brooklyn, N. Y., fell into a pit containing 3,000 bushels of grain. The little kernels, rolling against one another like myriad cogs of a great machine, gripped his feet, ftis ankles, his legs, his knees, held him fast and drew him down with a power that was irresistible. Dolan plunged this vay and that, and with every step the quicksands gripped him more firmly. He onlled for help and Petro Amazio, a fellow-worker, went to his assistance. He threw a rope to Iolan, which tha latter seized so desperately that he drew Amazio into the pit. Other workmen, who had been to luncheon, now heard the outcries, but both men had disappeared when they reached the scene. A rush was made for the chutes through which the grain is unloaded, and, unfastening the covers, the men let the wheat run into the street. Soon Amazio's body shot down the chute, and Dolan followed. The latter had been smothered, but Amazio was still alive and will recover. CAST FROM U. S. ARMY. Order of President Strips Entire Battalion of Uniform.

RESULTS

f

Elections were held Tuesday in forty-two States, and while the results in a number of instances were of unusual interest, it may be said that generally speaking there were no great surprises. Throughout the South the Dcmrcratic State and congressional tickets have been elected by. the usual majorities. In the West" and East the States that were aligned two years ago in the Democratic or Republican columns show no materia change, the Democrats making gains in some instances and the Republicans in others. The Republicans retain control of Congress by a good majority. Perhaps the widest general interest in the elections centered in the remarkable fight for Governor which has been waged in New York State between Charles E. Hughes, the Republican candidate, who throughout the campaign has had the support of President Roosevelt, aud William Randolph Hearst, who has been running as the regular IXMnocratic and Independence League nominee. The latest returns available at the time this is written show that Mr. Hughes, while losing nearly all of the principal cities of the State, was successful by about 00,000 plurality. Tlx? rural districts brought about the Republican victory. In New York City the Tammany-Independence League judiciary ticket was successful, with possibly one exception, over the candidates narnotl by the nonpartisan "judiciary nominators." Massachusetts has re-elected Curtis Guild, Republican, as Governor over District Attorney John Ii. Morau of Boston, who was the candidate of the Democratic party, the Hearst League and the Prohibitionists. In Chicago it is estimated that the Hearst ticket polled 40X00 votes, but there was a Republican plurality for the State officers. Pennsylvania has elected Stuart, Republican, Governor over a fusion opposition by the usual Republican plurality. Michigan, New Hampshire, Nortn Dakota, Connecticut, Minnesota, Indiana and Wisconsin have given Republican pluralities. Nebraska shows a Republican plurality. Ohio also chows Republican gains over the Pattison vote of last year. For the first time in years the realt in Iowa, on the face of the early returns, seemed in doubt. The constitution of tiie new State of Oklahoma will be written by Democrats. The Indians voted the Democratic, ticket almost solidly. Oklahoma also went strongly Democratic in choosing delegates to the constitutional convention. On the New Mexico-Arizona joint statehood proposition Arizona voted against it, thus defeating the plan. The Republicans carried Utah, Wyoming and Washington, nnd seem to have lost Nevada, while both parties claim Colorado. Montana seems to have ueen carried by the Republicans and Texas takes its usual place In the Democratic column. In Rhode Island, James II. Higgins, Democrat, was elected Governor. V The returrs show that the next Congress will be Republican in both to-ancbes. The political complexion of the Senate shows a Republican gain of one in Colorado. There are two or three close legislative contests, but they are chiefly between Individuals, and the Senate will stand nearly as at present, with fifty-eight Republicans and thirty-two Democrats, leaving a Republican majority of twenty-six. The returns' indicate a Republican membership In the House of Representatives of about 227, which is a majority of GS over the Democrats. This is a decided Republican los from the results of last year, when they bad a majority of 112. Particular Interest, so far as the congressional situation is concerned, has been manifested all over the country in the results in Missouri, Illinois. Pennsylvania, New York and Ohio. The question in Missouri was whether the Republicans could maintain their hold upon the State. The returns indicate that they have not carried enough districts to justify them in claiming that Missouri is now a Republican State and that It will probably cast its electoral vote for a Democratic President next year. In Pennsylvania, where the heavy loss was anticipated, the result is due to the fact that a fusion ticket, representing both Democrats and Republicans, was In the field In position to the regular Penrose Republicans. In Illinois the Republican losses in the congressional districts were perhaps caused by a return to the normal basis before the McKinley wave of 1000. The situation In Illinois is no different from that of the country at large, nnd the Democrats have resumed their position as a strong minority party in the House of Representatives. The election of a IIouseof Representatives with a large Republican majority makes practically certain the election of Cannon as Speaker of the House lu the Sixtieth Congress. Congressman Rabcock of Wisconsin, formerly chairman of the Republican Congressional Committee, failed of election. Congressman J. W. Wadsworth, for many years chairman of the House Committee on Agriculture at Washington, was defeated in the Thirty-fourth New York District. Congressman sNichoIas Longworth was re-elected in Cincinnati.

NEW YORK. Charles Evans Hughes defeated Willia Randolph Hearst for Governor of New York, winning the most remarkable political campaign ever fought in the Empire State. Hughes' plurality, according to ftie returns available at this writing, is about tlO.OOO. His vote above the Bronx is more than 135,000 in excesi of that cast for Hearst. Hearst carried the Greater City by 75,000, with a small plurality in the borough cf Brooklyn, C. E. HUGHES. where the McCarren forces were in open revolt against the head of the Democratic ticket. The voti for Hughes is considerably less than that given Higgins and the Odell faction la accused of treachery. The only large citf that kept to Republican precedent was Albany. Hearst- made great inroads o. the usual Republican majorities in anj' place where there was any considcrab.e labor element. The farmers stood by tte Republican ticket IOWA. Albert B. Cummins was re-elected Goiernor of Iowa by a plurality of more tha 20,000. Nine of the eleven Republican caudidates for Congress have been elected. D. W. Hamilton, Democrat, of thJ Sixth District, has defeated John F. Lu. cey, who was a candidate for re-electioo The Republicans will have more taan fifty majority on joint ballot in the Legisltture next winter, which elects a United States Senator .to succeed Jnathan i Dolliver. It is said there is no queBtiou of hia re-election. MICHIGAN. With only about 75 per cent of Üe vote cast that was recorded two yeaa ago. Gov. Fred M. Warner, Republican has been re-elected by about 90,000 mijority in Michigan, a very heavy gain ta his showing of two years ago, when Us Demo.Tatic opponent made a remarkably strong campaign. The entire Republican State ticket was elected by about tjie samt majority .as Warner. Possilly two or three Democrats will gain seats In the Legislature. Michigan will send a solid Republican delegation to Congrej. all twelve of the party candidates beig safe by easy majorities. The Legisuture will choose a Senator to succeid Russell A. Alger. PENNSYLVANIA. The Republicans won a sweeping v.?tory in Pennsylvania. Edwin S. Stnar, Republican, for Governor, was elected fc.y 00,000 plurality over Lewis Emery, J., Democratic and Lincoln party candidate. In Philadelphia the old Republican organization was also victorious. Apparent1? the n-'xt Legislature will be largely Republican in both branches. The Deacrats are believed to hav gained four r five Congressmen in the State. One tif them is J. Davis Brodhead, probably elected in the Twenty-sixth District our G. A. Schneebeli, Republican. Brodheid ii a nephtjfv of the late Jefferson Da4s, president of the Confederacy. KANSAS. The Republicans elected the entie State and congressional ticket in Kansi.s. Gov. Hoch is re-elected by a plurality t 3,500 and the balance of the Republican State ticket by pluralities of 25,000. l;e Legislature, which is Republican, wdl name a successor to United States Senator Burton.

Thayer of Norwich, Democrat, an advocate of municipal ownership, was defeated by Woodruff by about 21,000. TEXAS.

It is only a question or how big the majority is, and it seems certain that it will not fall far short of 30,000. The Democrats elected twelve of the sixteen Congressmen, thereby regaining seven of the districts they lost in the landslide two yearg ago. St. Louis has gone Republican by a small majority. The Republicans elected two Congressmen from St. Louis and fifteen of the nineteen candidates in the legislative districts.

Ellis, Republican, now sitting in the House. NEBRASKA.

Douglas county, in which Omaha is situated, which gave a Democratic majority of 2,200 two years ago, in spite of the Roosevelt landslide, gave a plurality for Sheldon of 215, with four small precincts missing, which will slightly increase the plurality for Sheldon. The indications are the Legislature will be Republican and elect a Republican successor to Senator Millard. Some of the Populuts opposed Shallenberger, the Democratic candidate for Governor, but voted the balance of the fusion ticket. UTAH. The Republicans elected their State ticket in Utah by about 5,000 plurality, returning Joseph Howell to Congress and electing Joseph E. Frick justice of the Supreme Court. In Salt Lake county, where the American, or anti-Mornion, party centered its efforts, the result was closor. The Democratic vote In Salt Lake shows a falling off of probably SO per cent. It is estimated that 75 to IK) per cent of the Mormon Democrats in Salt Lake county voted the Republican ticket. SOUTH DAKOTA. Owing to the light vote cjr! in the State, the Republicans carried South Dakota by from 25,000 to 35.000 plurality, a falling off of from 15,000 to 20,000 from the vote of two years ago. Philo Hall and William II. Parker, Republicans, were elected Congressmen at large. Thj Republicans will have at least eightyfive out of the 133 members of the Legislature. OREGON. George E.

ILLINOIS. The Illinois Republican State ticket was elected with a plurality of 120,000 7or John F. Smulski. Cook rounty furnishing 50,000. All the Republican State candidates were successful, Smulski running a little behind Francis G. Rlair for superintendent of instruction, who has a plurality of 130,000, according to first returns the largest Republican plurality ever given in an off year election, with one exception. A total of 825,000 votes were cast throughout the State the smallest vote cast in a State e?ection in fourteen years, and 251,000 les than in the presidential election of Nov. 8, 1004. The Republican plurality of 125,000 shows a falling off as compared with the extraordinary plurality of 200,000 given Gov. Deneen two years ago. Congressionally, the Democrats have gained back some of the districts which this Roosevelt vote took from them. Congressman Henry T. Rainey, the only Illinois Democrat in the Fifty-ninth Congress, was re-elected. Ben F. Caldwell, the Democrat defeated two years ago by Zeno Rives, the young Republican of Litchfield, defeated Rives in turn. In the Twenty-third district Foster, Democrat, was elected over Congressman Dickson. These, with the district regained in Chicago, give back to the Democrats three of the districts they lost in 1004, and the Illinois congressional delegation stands twenty-one Republicans and three Democrats. The Republican congressional districts were carried by large pluralities. In the Legislature the Republicans will have eighty-nine. House members and the have elected twenty-three of the twentyseven Senators. They had twenty-one ol the twenty-four holdover Senators. The joint ballot which will re-elect Shelby M. Cullom to the United States Senate will poll 133 Republican votes out of 204. There had been no attempt on the part of the Democrats to secure control of either body. A feature of the election was the heavy Prohibition vote. Thelarge vote cast for Mrs. Caroline Grote. Democratic candidate for State Superintendent of Education, was also a surprise to the political managers. Mrs. Grote it the first woman candidate to run for the office in Illinois. ' INDIANA. The Republicans carried Indiana, but by a majority greatly reduced from that of two years ago, when the State gave Preuident Roosevelt a plurality of 92,000. The congressional districts fhow a corresponding falling off . in the vote, with tha Democrats making such marked gains in some districts that Republican supremacy is jeopardized. In the Eleventh District, which Fred Landis carried two years ago by 8,000 majority, and in the Eighth, which George W. Cromer car'ried by 7,000 votes, there were losaes. Wabash county, in the Eleventh, gave a Democratic majority for the first time in its history, and Miami also went against Landis. The Republicans have carried the Legislature on joint ballot and will control both branches, though their majority will be greatly reduced. The issue in the legislative contests was over temperance le.ws, the saloonkeepers and brewery elements generally supporting the Democratic candidates. WISCONSIN. Gtv. Davidson, with the Republican State ticket, was elected in Wisconsin. The Governor's plurality is upward of 60,000, and the remainder of the State ticket but little behind, this on one of the lightest votes ever cast.' From the returns it is apparent that not much over a two-thirds vote was cast. The apathetic conditions noted before tho election were too pronounced to be overcome bj the State central committees. The returns from the legislative districts indicate the Republicans will have about the same number in each house as they have had for tte past six years, which gives them an overwhelming majority. In Milwaukee District Attorney McGovern was reelected by a little more than 100 plurality. This was the most bitterly fought contest in the State. McGovern was defeated for the Republican nomination at the primaries and ran as an independent againtt Boden, his successful competitor. The surprising thing in the contest was the strength shown by the Social Democratic candidate Thiel, and until the final figures were received it looked as though he had won. Complete returns for Milwaukee gave Thiel 14,205; McGovern. 13,554, and Boden, Republican, 11,762. OHIO. Early returns in Ohio indicate that the Republicans elected Carmi A. Thompson Secretary of State and their entire State ticket. Republican gains in the country precincts more than balanced their losses in the cities. In the congressional fight the Republicans elected twenty candidates, while one Democrat pulled through. The vote on the Republican judicial ticket in Cincinnati fell below that of the rest of the Republican ticket. MINNESOTA. Gov. John A. Johnson, Democrat, was re-elected in Minnesota by over 50.00C plurality. A. L. Cole, Republican candidate for. Governor, ran far !?hind the balance of his ticket, the election of which In claimed by from 25,000 to 50,000 plurality.. The returns on the Legislature indicate that the Republican majority will be considerably reduced. NORTH CAROLINA. In North Carolina the vote was light It is estimated to be Democratic bj about 40,000. ALABAMA. Returns in Alabama indicate an overwhelming victory for the entire Democratic State ticket and nominees for Congress, with about 40,000 plurality. The vote was light. WYOMING. The entire Republican ticket, headed by Gov. Brooks, was elected iu Wyoming by majorities of not less than 2,000. The Republicans also elected the member of Congress and the Legislature which will lect a United States Senato

Activity in the leading Industries indicate a sustained high volume of Chicago. production and distribution and bank exchanges again show larger. New demands for finished products add to the pressure upon facilities, but prompt deliveries cannot be negotiated from lack of adequate transportation. Price changes command more attention In a higher general average, the developments having steadied bides, firmed up leather, lumber and wool, and turned dearer for Iron and steel, owing to greater cost of ore for next seasou. Values of foodstuffs In the priucary markets have also been affected, but these are mainly slightly lower and harmonize more closely with the abundant supplies. Retail dealings reflect a seasonable expansion, and, although the jobbing branches show more quiet, reorders frequently appear in dry goods and footwear for Western points. Interior advices denote sales of merchandise thus far equal to expectations and demand for heavy-weight apparel improving with colder weather. Mercantile collections throughout most of the tributary region are prompt, and it is encouraging that defaults make a small total and Include none with heavy liabilities. The conditions predicate consumption exceeding all former proportions and the outlook for business of Increasing aggregate during the rest of this year Is decidedly promising. Manufacturing steadily gathers strength for future operations. Notwithstanding the advancing cost of materials and labor little hesitancy is observed in entering upon heavy undertakings. This is emphasized in the number of new enterprises Initiated J and additions to existing plants to relieve the present pressure. Iron and steel producers find the efforts to accumulate surplus stocks beyond them. Failures reported In the Chicago district numbered 10, against 22 last week and 21 a year ago. Dun's Review of Trade. Greater confidence, resulting from. the election; marked advances in Nev York. wages'of, railwaj- employes; the greatly Improved collections; large filling in orders. Indicating heavy consumption; good business on spring account; a continued scarcity of labor, and record breaking odtputs of iron and steel, are pre-eaiineut features of the week. Weather conditions, except In portions of the -Northwest, have been quite favorable; retail trade has been active, business from jobbers has been larger than ordinary, and wholesalers report heavy orders booked for spring delivery. As for a long time past, however, complaints of slow deliveries on orders are almost universal, cotton, dry goods, lumber, coal and Iron and steel dealers all complaining. Car congestion explains some of this, ind, with present prices of grain, accounts for slow movement from the farms, but scarcity of labor is reported largely responsible for the tackward deliveries of dry goods.
