Man Carelessly Handle Gnn to Scare Boys Hallowe'en Xljjht. - MONMOUTH. Or., Nov. 1. (Special.) As a result of the Hallowe'en fun and a man very careless with a gun, three men were shot last night It seems some harmless pranks were being indulged n by some boys of the town, when Clarence Carter, who works at the livery .stable, thought he would frighten the boys. He took a shotgun and fired one barrel In the ground, but raised the gun when firing the remaining charge, and as a result Frank Haley was hit in the face by some 21 No. G shot. L. P.

Dysentery Cured Without the Aid of n Doctor." "I am just up from a hard spell of the flux" (dysentery), says Mr. T. A. Pinner, a well-known merchant of, Drummond, Tenn. "I used one small bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy and was cured without having a doctor. I consider It the best cholera medicine in the world." There Is no need of employ ing a doctor when this remedy Is used, for no doctor can prescribe a better medicine for bowel complaint In. any form, either forchiidren or adults. It never fails, and Is plea-ant to take. " For sale by drur BIG GAIN IN IDAHO (Continued from. First Page.) Paul "Corcoran, tne man convicted for. murder committed at the time of -the Coeur d'AIene riots in 1899, put him in Bad odor with that wing of the party, and his administration has bcen-of such a character a3 to increase the sentiment against him. He was renominated through the instrumentality of Senator Dubois. It Is admitted that his renomlnatlon would have' been impossible had not( the Senator thrown his support to 'him. ' Since then, as a result of the penitentiary investiga tion, the warden, C. E. Arney, a special friend of the Senator's, has been dis missed by the vote of the Governor, after he (Hunt) had vbted for a resolution de claring Arney innocent ofN any wrong doing. This has embittered the Dubois wing of the party-against him, although the enmity has not taken the form of open revolt 'on tho part of the leaders. It Is, however,- Influencing many of the Dubois Democrats In all parts of the state. Such are the conditions that weight down the1 Democratic ticket. It Is without special strength at any point to overcome this defection.. The only thing upon which the supporters 6f,Hunt have to rely Is the claim that the labor-union,, vote will be for him, irrespective of' party, but the closest observers fail to find that the' .claim is well founded. No Defection Among Republicans. The Republicans, with a Etrong ticket, headed by John T. Morrison, for Gov ernor, and Burton L. French, for Rep resentative in Congress, havo been mak ing an aggressive campaign. The Demo cratic candidates are Frank W. Hunt and . J. H. Hutchinson. The Republican tviAnttnre Via a Kaati ti-a11 f f AnH nvairv-. M where, and the people have shown much enthusiasm. There Is no defection In tho Republican ranks. While there has been an effort on the- part of the Democrats to stir up bad feeling among the Re publicans over the ascendancy of the younger element of the party. It has not been successful. It may possibly Influ ence a few votes on the Legislative tick ets in some counties, but even the Demo crats acknpwledge the number will be small. In the southeastern part of the state, the Republicans ray they will make a clean sweep. The Democrats do not admit it, but It. Is known that their ad vices are to the effect that they have little chanco In that part of the state. In Ada County, In which the capital Is located, the Republican managers are confident they will Increase the party majority of 350 two years ago to COO this year, and the Democrats concede the majority will be large. In the mountain counties, the Democrats will be successful In most cases, but In Blaine, which went, for the Fusion ticket lh 1900 by 000, the Democrats will not get more than 250 this year. It is in the North that the Democrats claim their greatest majorities. Conservative Republicans have not built high hopes on that section, but evidence is accumu lating that the Democratic majorities w'ill be, cut down, and In some Instances re versed. Latah and Nez Perce Counties were both very close In the last elec tion. Hunt carried the former by 153t and lost the latter by 19. The local Re publican managers there are banking on large majorities this year, and It seems quite .certain that the ticket will carry both counties. In the other three north ern counties, the Democratic lead will be cut ddwn, and the Republican's arc talk ing of carrying Shoshone, a former Dem ocratic stronghold. Kootenai County will go Democratic by a reduced majority, and Idaho County will' follow suit The Result by Counties. The Republicans claim a majority of 3000 in the state, but, after making such discounts as seem demanded by conser vatism, an estimate of the probable re sults, by counties, is as follows: 1 Rep. ma- Dem. ma- County jorlty. jorlty.

The last session of the Legislature re apportioned the state for Legislative pur poses In a manner that has made It much more difficult for the Republicans to se cure control of that body than to elect the state ticket The representation of some of the tknown Demoqratic counties is not In proportion with their population. The bill was enacted for the purpose of-mak-ing It impossible for the Republicans to gain control of that department of the state government at any time. That pur pose was boasted of at the time, and has "been boasted of during this cam paign. The disproportion will appear on an examination of the following table showing the population of the counties In 1900, their vote that year, and the representation given them in the lower house: County Ada Bannock . Bear Lake Bingham . Blaine Boise Canyon . . Population. Vote. Rep. .. 11.559 4,931 3.294 3 2 2 2 2 .. 11,702 .. 7.251 .. 10.447 .. 4,900 2.150 3.155 2,019 1.572 ..

But, on the other hand, It is claimed there Is a good chance that the Shoshone delega tion of five will be added to the Repub lican column. There are four tickets there, the Populists and Socialists each hav ing a ticket In the field arid both drawing from the Democrats.- There Is also a chance for one member from Owyhee, one from Washington arid one -from Kootenai. But, at the best, the result is ciose, unlesr there Is a landslide to the Republicans, which even the most sangnlne ' do not expect NOW FOR COAL COMBINE. J. P.

"Negotiations were commenced several days ago to effect a consolidation of the Pittsburg Coal Company and the Monon gahela Consolidated Coal Coke Com pany, two of the largest producing con cerns in Western Pennsylvania, which control a very large proportion of the out put of. the Pittsburg district. "The merging of these two companies would mean a capitalization of $110,000, 000, with assets of $12O,0SS.5S5. A still larger deal Is now said to be contem plated, In which not only Senator Hanna but J. P. Morgan is reported to have a direct Interest."
