Herald-Review. By C. E. KILEY. GRAND RAPIDS, - MINNESOTA. Sir Thomas Lipton sailed for home without the cup but with his appendix ntact. It is the man who lets his wife have her own way that comes the nearest to having his. Before marriage a timid man doesn’t know what to say, and after marriage he is afraid to say it. The man who said “All men are liars” had just met a fisherman, a poli- tician and a man in love. Under the new football rules the players will be expected to act as their own nose guards hereafter. A Boston woman is a graduate both in law and medicine. This seems a little grasping even for Boston. When it is possible to get telegrams every day at sea one of the great ad- vantages of going to sea will be lost. When the motor baby carriage ap- pears upon the scene, the street will be safer for pedestrians than the side- walk. Persons of good taste will not regret that cod liver oil, which last year sold for seventy cents a gallon, has gone up to $3. : Those Uraguayans ought not to be ‘permitted to have gunboats if they are going to blow them up and injure themselves. The man who has four children un- der 5 years of age is certainly quali- fied by experience to accept a position as floorwalker. Boston’s ‘champion baseball players prove that unremitting study of Emer- son has a beneficial effect on one’s batting average. The Klondike gold output is $1,000,- 000 short. Possibly this may have something to do with those of us who are a little hard up. Doorknobs must possess a nutritious value not generally recognized, or else a New Yorker wouldn't have stolen fig to keep his children from stary- ing. Sir Thomas Lipton has gone back to England, and there is doubtless many a rich American girl who deep down in her heart considers him a mean old thing. $ Comparatively few mters have péen Killed by mistake ae season. If this is the result of the fencing in of the Adirondacks let the good work proceed. A New Zealand yachtsman an- nounces his desire to challenge for the America’s cup. Whether he means to enter a catamaran or a war canoe is not stated. A pair of oysters will produce in one season from 16,000,000 to 40,000,000 young oysters. From this it will be seen that the oyster has the housefly skinned to death. The young bank clerk who had a stroke of apoplexy when the horse that carried $2 of his money fell be- hind in the homestretch ought never to have bet a penny. Another of the joys of travel on the two-mile-a-minute trolley car will be the fascination of speculating as to whether or not one is going to come out of the experience alive. Very likely man will fly sometime, and to get the hang of it will be just the luck of some persistent experi- menter like Prof. Langley, whose mot- to appears to be, “Don’t give up the airship.” The Supreme Court of Nebraska holds that dogs are competent wit- nesses, even though they cannot be sworn. And some human beings are incompetent, no matter how many oaths they take. If Japan and Russia fight, can’t it be arranged so that a certain percentage of the gate receipts may be used for furnishing the palace which Andrew Carnegie is having built for The Hague Tribunal? Edmund J. James, president of Northwestern university, says that a young man looking for a business career should be through with his college work by the time he is 20 or 21. Certainly. Sure. ee ee nk ate The gentlemanly assassin who made it possible for King Peter to ascend the throne of Servia has just been pro- moted to a high place in the army. Peter may have his faults, but ingrat- itude evidently is not one of them. sige er ames Se Somebody, who hasn’t forgotten the Jennie Bosschieter case, may be ex- pected to deliver a sermon on its con- nection with the flood in Paterson, N.

It provides that all of the late archbishop’s property, both of a personal and real character, shall be turned over to the diocese. Prof. Irwin Rautenstrauch of Wash- ington university, who formerly lived in Sedalia, Kan., has asked the courts to change his name. Nobody in this country has ever been able to pro- nounce it right, and the professor has got tired of being called ‘Rotten- straw,” which was conferred upon him in his school days. From Other Shores.

HERRICK IS ELECTED IN OHIO REPUBLICAN STATE TICKET IS ELECTED BY A GOOD MAJORITY. THE RESULT IN OTHER STATES MARYLAND !IS DEMOCRATIC—RE- PUBLICANS FALL OFF IN IOWA. New York, Nov. 4. — After a cam- paign in which there were united against him nearly all the newspapers and almost every preacher in New York city, George B. McClellan, son of the Civil war general, yesterday was elected mayor of Greater New York over Seth Low, fusionist, the present mayor, by a plurality of about 70,000. Edward M. Grout was elected con- trolleer and: Charles V. Fornes presi- dent of the board of aldermen. These two men were originally on the fusion ticket and were indorsed by Tammany, whereupon the fusionists took their names from the Low ballots and nom- inated other candidates. It was the nomination of Grout and Fornes by Tammany that caused Hugh McLaugh- lin, veteran leader of the Kings county Democracy, to bolt and declare that he would not support men who were not Democrats. In spite of his defection, however, McClellan, Grout and Fornes carried Kings county. Change in Public Sentiment. A surprise was the low vote for William S. Devery, formerly chief of police. This result shows a tremen- dous change in public sentiment since Mayor Low’s elect.o. two years ago, when he won by 31,832. At that time he carried all the boroughs but one. Yesterday he carried only one borough —Richmond, by about 200 votes. The result was known early, and at 8:15 o’clock Mayor Low sent a tele- gram of congratulation to Col. McClel- lan. Returns from the state indicate the election of Republican mayors in Syracuse, Rome, Elmira, Plattsburg, Rochester, Albany, Binghamton, Wat- ertown and Oneida. In Oswego, Utica, Schenectady, Troy and Amsterdam Democratic mayors were elected. Returns from the assembly districts up state indicate a few gains by the Republicans. The senate holds over and is strongly Republican. HERRICK WINS IN OHIO. Republicans Claim a Plurality of Over 125,000. Columbus, Nov. 4. — An hour after midnight Chairman Dick of the Re- publican state committee gave out his last announcement for the night that the Republican plurality would ex- ceed 125,000, and that the Republicans had elected 26, the Democrats 4 state senators, with three districts not heard from; that the Republicans had elected 87 representatives and the Democrats 1i, with 12 counties not heard from, assuring a Republican majority of 83 on joint ballot, with 15 votes not yet determined. The Republicans elected J. E. Hard- ing in the district that includes Butler, Brown, Clermont and Warren counties, all Democratic except Warren. Butler county is known in the state as the “Gibraltar of Democracy.” Republic- ans never before carried this district. Since midnight Secretary Richard- son of the Democratic state central committee said that he was not able to give the reasons for the results on either state or legislative tickets. Before closing for the night the Re- publican state central committee had the detailed report of this county, showing that Johnson ran about 600 votes behind the rest of the Demo- cratic ticket. If this vote is main- tained elsewhere the Republican plu- rality of 125.090 for governor will not be maintained for the rest of the Re- publican ticket. MARYLAND DEMOCRATIC. Meager Returns Indicate Election of Edwin Warfield. Baltimore, Nov. 4. — At 2:30 a. m. only 35 of the 308 voting precincts of Baltimore had reported. These, if the ratio of Democratic gains are main- tained, indicate that Edwin Warfieid, the Democratic nominee for governor, has carried the city by 7,000 to 8,000 plurality. Returns from the counties are meager, but it is not thought that the Republican vote in the state can overcome the Democratic plurality in Baltimore. In Hurlock, Dorchester county, ‘there is said to have been a dispute between whites and blacks in which it is reported that twelve men were wounded. Owing to congested tele- graphic service the report cannot be verified. Democratic Gains in lowa. Des Moines, Iowa, Nov. 4.—Returns from Iowa are coming in slowly. Those received up to a late hour indi- cate a plurality for Cummins (Rep.) for governor, of 56,000, against 83,000 two years ago. Returns from 120 pre- cincts give Cummins 13,524; Sullican (Dem.), 7,757, a loss of 1,300 for the Republicans from the vote of 1901. Legislative returns indicate material Democratic gains from two years ago, but the Republicans will have a good working majority in both houses. Republicans Win in Nebraska. Omaha, Noy. 4.—At 2 o'clock this morning the defeat of John J. Sullivan, Democratic candidate for the supreme bench, by John B. Barnes, Republican, is conceded. The majority will be be- tween 4,500 and 5,000. Sullivan car- ried this city by 1,200, but his majority was wiped out in the state. Gov. Bates Re-elected. Boston, Nov. 4.—Jobn L. Bates was re-elected governor of Massachusetts yesterday by a plurality of 35,849 over Col. Wiliam A. Gaston, the Demo- cratic candidats. The legislature re- mains practically unchanged. The to- tal vote for governor was: Bates, 199,- 393; Gaston, 163,544, Beckham Wins in Kentucky. Louisville, Ky., Nov. 4. — With the close of an election characierized by an unususlly heavy vote, numerous disorders and evidences of many gross irregularities, the re-election of Gov. Beckham, Democratic candidate, over Col. Morris B. Belknap, Repub- lican, by a majority of fully 15,000 seems assured. Republicans concede his election. Democratic Ticket Elected. Jackson, Miss., Nov. 4.—The vote in the state in yesterday’s election was light. The Democratic ticket headed by J. K. Vardaman for governor was elected, there being no opposition. Sweep for the Democrats. Richmond, Va., Nov. 4.—The elec- tion in Virginia, which was for mem- bers of the assembly, have resulted in a Democratic sweep of the state. MILLION DOLLAR FIRE. Several Large Buildings in Troy, N. Y., Destroyed. Albany, N. Y., Nov. 4. — Fire last night in Troy destroyed several large buildings in River street. The build- ings destroyed included the Western Union office, the Reynolds furniture store and the old Cluett building, six in all. The fire swept up River street and across Monument Square, threat- ening property across the street. The fire was finally got under control by the falling of the walls of the south- ernmost buildings. This carried away the electric light circuits along River street, and in view of the danger to life and additional property the power was turned off, leaving most of the city in darkness for an hour. The loss will exceed $1,000,000. No loss of life or injuries to perscas are reported. FOUL CRIME AT SPRINGFIELD. Young Negro Girl Cagged, Assaulted and Murdered. Springfield, il., Nov. 4—Within plain view, under ordinary conditions, of the most prominent night corners in the city of Springfield, but with an im- penetrable fog enveloping the earth, Leona Granberry, a girl seventeen years old, was gagged, assaulted and foully murdered during the hazy hours last night. Her body was cold when daylight revealed the horrible spec- tacle with the trampled head unrecog- nizable and partly buried in the soft earth by the blows evidently delivered by heavy shoes or boots. Members of the police force, deputy sheriffs and Coroner Baer, who are working on the case, admit that it furnishes the deep- est mystery they have been called upon to solve. —<<_—_—____—_—- PLAYER AN HEIRESS.

Because They Were Suspected of Having Shot a White Boy. New York, Nov. 4. — Suspected of having shot Jeremiah Healy, a white boy, Arthur Patterson and William Black, negroes, were ‘set upon by a mob of 500 white men and so badly peaten that they had to be taken to a hospital. The arrival of two policemen saved them from being killed. Healy’s wound is not dangerous. SS RAN INTO AN OPEN SWITCH. Two Trainmen Killed and Three Oth- ers’ Seriously Injured. Augusta, Ga., Nov. 4.—A fast freight on the Georgia railroad ran into an open switch eight miles from here yes- terday, derailing the engine and six cars and killing Fireman Veno and one negro trainman and severely injur- ing the engineer and two other train hands. REDSKINS FROM PINE RIDGE AGENCY GIVE POSSES THE SLIP. GO TO BAD LANDS OF NEBRASKA. IT IS BELIEVED THE WILL NOT SUBMIT TO AR- REST PEACEABLY. TWENTY INDIANS WERE KILLED: ACCORDING TO THE REPORT OF AGENT BRENNAN OF PINE RIDGE AGENCY. Douglas, Wyo., Nov. 4.—John Mor- ton, a member of the Douglas posse, reports that the Indians have sepa- rated and that each party is taking a different trail. The posse was unable to follow the lead, and the pursuit was ‘| abandoned temporarily. It is the opinion of many of the of- ficers that the redskins who are yet a‘, large cannot be canght unless they return to the reservation. It is be- lieved that many of them will not re- turn for fear of arrest and that they will remain in the Bad Lands of North- western Nebraska. It is not believed that they will submit to arrest peacea- bly. A posse from Lusk assistéd to bury, at the scene of the battle, Eagle Feathers, Black Kettle, Gray Bear and an Indian boy, who were killed in the fight: Eagle Feather’s squaw was shot. in the shoulder and will die.

He was a highly intelli- gent Indian and was a graduate of the Carlisle college, where he played on the football team. i Sioux From Pine Ridge. Washington, Nov. 4.—The commis- sioner of Indian affairs has received telegrams from Senator Warren of Wyoming and Agent Brennan of the Pine Ridge agency giving further de- tails concerning the recent fatal en- counter between Wyoming officials and Indians. Mr. Brennan says that the Indians engaged were from Pine Ridge, and, therefore, were Sioux. The party was small and was traveling through Wy- oming on a permit. He also says that Sheriff Wilson and one of the posse were reported killed, and that twenty Indians were also killed. Senator Warren said in his telegram that six Indians were killed, six wounded and about the same number captured. He confirms the report of the death of the sheriff. There were, he says, two fights, one on Friday or Saturday and the other on Sunday. The under-sheriff is still in pursuit of the Indians, and the latter have been reinforced. “It looks squally,” in his message, ‘“‘and trouble.” He suggests a close watch on the Indians at the agencies for fear of still more serious consequences. says the senator I fear further WANTED TO SEE THE PRESIDENT. Man With Loaded Revolver Is Taken in Charge by the Police. Washington, Noy. 4. — Lewis Bron- stein, a tailor of Brooklyn, N. Y., came here yesterday to see the president and is being detained at polic2 head- quarters, pending an official examina- tion into his sanity. He called at the residence of Rabbi Julius T. Loeeb, where he made statements in connec- tion with the object of his visit which caused the rabbi to turn him over to the police. When searched a loaded revolver and several loose cartridges were found on him. Bronstein said that his nephew had tried to kill him. His object in wishing to see the pres- ident was to ask the president to use his influence in preventing any fur- ther attempts on his life. Bronstein’s relatives have been communicated with.
