Naples, via Gibraltar, where the liner is due on March 25. His expressed desire i3 to get away as soon as possible so as not to embarrass Mr. Taft in his new office. Besides his son Kermit, who will take photographs of big game in Africa, he will be accompanied by a professor from the Smithsonian institution and an official from the navy department. They have not yet been chosen, but several are under consideration. One will have a knowledge of medicine, so that when , the party leaves the Uganda railroad and plunges into the unbeaten paths of the eastern -African forests, the members of the expedition may be properly cared for." From Naples Mr- Roosevelt and party will travel on one of the German East African steamers to Mombassa via the Suez canal and Aden, a sea Journey of seventeen days including stops. Will AvoM the Congo. So far no arrangements have been
the Congo territory. President Roosevelt has received an invitation from the nephew of the late Senator James McMillan of Detroit, who owns 50,000 acres of forest, mountain, and jangle in the Nairobi district of Uganda, to shoot over his estates and use the comfortable shooting boxes that have been erected in various sections where big game is to be found. The president is scheduled to arrive at Entebbe early in December, where his native porters, hunters and guides will be in waiting -to conduct him through central Africa exploring some of the tributaries of the Nile and
eventually landing him at Gondokoro, the frontier post of the Soudan, some time toward the end of April, 1910. The number of natives to be employed on that part of the journey is not yet settled, but it is estimated as somewhere around fifty. Each man will carry an average load of fifty pounds on his head. To Leave Beaten Paths. It is stated Mr. Roosevelt will not
follow the beaten paths of travelers and hunters in the E?.st African protectorate, or any part of his journey in Africa, but will strike out on new lines for himself. Has an Enolish Permit.
From the British government the president has received a permit to kill as much game as he likes, but it Is understood he will go to Africa more in j the interest of science than to kill animals for the mre sport of it- It is probable he will confine himself to one specimen of each kind of large and small game, including lions, elephants, rhinoceroses and crocodiles. Lions, it is said, are the most difficult to get at in Africa because they have become wary of the white man and his deadly gun. The king of the forest can be heard roaring around the camps all night, but they take to cover and dis-, appear before the sun rises. ' j The president will hare no difficulty in keeping in touch with the outer , world, whether In the British or German East African protectorates. Tel- j egraph wires now cover the district j in all directions and where the station j Is soma distance away the native run- j ners are employed to take messages, j At night the natives have a semaphore
signal, by means of torches waved from the hill tops, which has been in use in the orient for thousands of years and is still reliable.
New York, Nov. C. Practically complete returns from every section of the country Indicate that William IL Taft will have a vote of 800 In the electoral college. Later reports which will be received will probably not change this electoral vote, which is within 16 votes of the forecast mad by Republican National Chairman Frank H. Hitchcock, and 67 more than a majority- out of the total electoral vote of 483. The most Important news of the late returns Indicates that Maryland, after vaoillatlnr during the day and apparently being safe for the democracy, has been swung into the Taft column. The unofficial figures give Mr. Taft the state by 130 votes. Mr. Bryan has a total of 174 votes, two less than he received In 1896. In 1904, M. Parker, received only 140 votes. In 1900 Mr, Bryan received 155 votes. Mr. Taft's 309 electoral votes compare with 336 received by Roosevelt in 1904, 292 received by McKlnley In 1900, and 271 received by McKlnley la 1896. ' Judge Taft's plurality in the state of New York, according to corrected returns Is 203,495, more than 28,000 in excess of Roosevelt's plurality of four years ago. Governor Charles E. Hughes was re-elected in New, York state by 71460. Today's returns were watched with a great deal of interest, not In the belief that they could have any possible effect upon the national result, but because of local conditions. The heavy vote in Ohio made figures late owing to the immense size of the ballot. Mr. Taft carried his own state, ' however, by 150,000 plurality, a reduction of more than 200,000 from the Roosevelt vote of four years ago. , . Judson Harmon for governor, appears to be safely elected in Ohio.

feated Kuhn in this county by only
346 ' votes. This time Barnard's majority in the county was 1,434. If
Wayne county had not rallied to Barn
ard as well as It did, the election. of
Kuhn would have been' more than probable.
, One of the surprises of the district congressional fight was . In Henry county which, two years ago, gave Watson a majority of over 1,300, and
which this year gave Its home candidate only 779. Decatur countyj normally Republi
can about 500, also created another
surprise when it gave Barnard a ma Jority of 84. Happy But Defeated.
When interviewed on the results, the
Rev. Kuhn said that, although he
had expected election, not anticipating the Barnard vote in Wayne county.
he felt happy to think that he had been
able to reduce the congressional plu
rallty in the district to 1,100, as the
district is normally about 4,000 republican.
Kuhn's race this year was better
than the one he put up against Con
gressman Watson two years ago, his vote being larger. Watson received a plurality of 1,500 two years ago. Al
though defeated, the local preacher
politician has received many telephone j
and telegraph messages of congratulation on the clean fight which he waged. Hundreds of people are also showering their congratulations upon the winner. Judge W. ;0, Barnard, of Newcastle, according to dispatches. Judge Barnard is considered an able lawyer, and it is generally conceded that he will make a strong representative in congress. Haas Is Contented. E. M. Haas, republican chairman of the Sixth district, says that although the result docs not measure up to his expectations by several thousand votes he feels gratified by the outcome. Mr. Haas said: "Considering the outcome in the other districts of Indiana, Judge Barnard fared much better than the rest of the republican congressional candidates who had republican majorities reduced to a much greater extent The increase given Barnard by Wayne county was 3.088, or within 69 votes of what constitutes his majority in the district -

Many Old Time Bowlers Show Up in Business Men's League
Local sport lovers are taking the keenest interest In the Steele-Richmond game to be played Saturday afternoon at 3 o'clock on tne puDiic school play grounds on South Twenty-second street. The Steele team of Dayton is
the contender for the Western Ohio
championship and the locals are hop-j
ing to secure the Eastern Indiana championship of high schools, and so far both have good chances of winning. Coach Horton states that his fighting eleven is In the pink of condition and that the pigskin chasers have not forgotten the defeat administered
to them several weeks ago by the score of G to O at the hands of Steele. All kinds of "bear" stories have
been receied from the Buckeye camp, j
but they do not- worry .th ,'Utue Quakers" any. , . It is known that Steele has a strong kicking department, and thaf It has a powerful defense. However the Buckeye attack is weak and the Crimson and White warriors have a good chance of downing them. In the evening after the game sev
eral of the students will give a dance in honor of the isltors. This will be at the Odd Fellow's hall, where they ex-,
pect to have a rousing time. They will leave nothing undone for the comfort of their guests.
The Business Men's Bowling League entered into the lime light last evening when two teams named the A's played the Cs. This was the opening of the schedule. Many of the men are old stars who have not played for many years, but they showed up In excellent form last evening. Lee Nubbaum, who has not played for over eleven years made 154 on the first game. . George Mashmeyer, who has not played for sometime, showed up In good form making 122 In one game. The A's won the match, taking all three games. The team members of the A's have been playing for some time, and it did not create much of a surprise when they won the firEt match. It la stated from first class authority that the D'b are to be counted in for first place just as soon as they get In running order. The following is the lineup and scores of the teams playing last night:

BOUGHT OFF THE BURGLAR.
JOHN D. ROCKEFELLER. The head of the Standard Oil Company a few days before the election, announced that he would vote for Taft and hoped the Republican ticket would be elected. In this support, President Roosevelt and other Republican leaders detected a clever scheme to make it appear that the Standard millions were back of the Republican party. It is said Rockefeller's move was made at the instigation of the Democrats.
AGED GERMAN RESIDENT DEAD Frederick J. Wichmeyer Died This Morning.
Frederick J. Wiehrueyer, one of the best known of the German residents of the southern part of the city, died this morning at his home, 613 South Seventh street, at the advanced age of 73 years. He is survived by his wife Anna, and five sons, all of whom are well known. Mr. Wiehmeyer came to Richmond when quite a young man and engaged in business. Ha has always been one
of the most Industrious of the German citizens In this city. The funeral arrangements will be given later.
Antiquity of "A Regular 8hindy." The antiquity of many familiar terms Is surprising when it is known. Many ieople are not aare that "What the dickens!" occurs In Shakespeare, but fewer still will be prepared to hear that the phrase "a regular shindy" is found in an author's note to a poem called "The Topjsh Kingdom," published in 1570. A writer quotes this note, which refers to the celebration of- Maundy Thursday, "Mldnijrht services are held In church, the lights are put out, and a regular shindy follows, men being beaten and wounded," London Globe.

An Old Banker's Bargain With His Unweloome Visitor. "William Wlnslow Sherman, the old banker, had the coolest nerve of any man I know," said a man who knew him. "Some years ago, when Sherman was an old man and partially crippled by reason of a fall from a horse, be entered his bedroom late at night to find a masked burglar ransacking it. "The thief had a big gun trained on Sherman In a minute. The banker just waved it aside with a tired hand. 'Put that away,' he said Irritably. Let us discuss this matter like gentlemen. The burglar was so surprised he laughed. 'Now, yon could hurt me if you wanted to and might get away with some little knickknacks, said Sherman. 'But you might be caught, and there's a slight probability that you could dispose of my toilet articles profitably. What would you consider a fair cash proposition to go away?' They talked it over In all peace. "The burglar thought he ought to have $10, but Sherman, after Inquiring into the man's habits, said $8 was enough. 'You see. he said, "you're a known thief. If this were your first offense, I'd pay your price, but now the police have your picture you ought to be glad to accept any fair compromise and run no risk. "The burglar finally agreed to take $S. Sherman pulled out a ten dollar bill. 'Give me $2 change,' said he. And he got it before he paid." Kansas City Star. American Humor. American humor exists, it , distinguishes the national character. It permeates all our affairs. It Is not of aboriginal descent. It was not brought from England or Holland by the fathers. Its saving grace was lacking under Puritan rule. The humor of DIedrich Knickerbocker Is all the more taking because of the absence of all sen?e of humor In the sub'ecta of his chronicle. If our humor came over from Erin In the first rush of Immigration It was quickly adapted to Its new environment. It was modified and changed by new circumstances and conditions, geographical ethholog leal, atmospheric. Wherever it came from it is a boon which saves us from a lot of needless trouble and worrys New York Times.

DEMOCRATS GAIN THREE TRUSTEES
Elections Over Wayne County Went Generally for Republicans.
THE NEW GARDEN FIGHT.
MUCH INTEREST TAKEN IN THE VOTES WAGED AND PIERSON.
HAS BEEN BATTLE FOR BY KEEVER

James Harris, democrat, was elected in Center township, over Thomas ship Is republican normally. WT111 Cheesman is the present Incumbent of the office. He Is a republican. There was some dissatisfaction cause by the way he administered the office and the result was evident in the vote cast against the party. More Interest probably was taken in
the ' election of the trustee of New Garden township that over that of president. Claude Keeer was the republican candidate and Charles Piereon, prohibition. Keever is a young man and the editor of the Fountain City Times. Sentiment stood divided
and the friends of both candidates resorted to various kinds of methods to secure votes. Keever won out by a vote of 228 to 103. In the other townships the election resulted as follows: Clay Dr. A. L. Klenzle, (Rep.) Dalton Jacob Taylor, (Rep.) Franklin Nathan Grave, (Rep.) Greene William Brown, (Rep.) Harrison Gilbert Wright, (Rep.) Jackson Amandus Mason, (Dem.) Jefferson Dr. Charles Stotelmyer, (Dem.) Perry Charles Harris, (Rep.) Washington William Miller, (Dem.) Webster George Paulin, (Rep.)
