There is one election bet still un
settled. An upriver man waged
one hundred and fifty dollars with
a local sport, that McKinley's pop

as that of four years ago. Accord
to Smull's hand book, McKinley
led Brvan in 1806 by 800,000. If
this is correct the town man looses
but he is not willing to accept Smull
as authority, hence the dispute.

subscriptions and gets the paper to
its subscribere the full time if they
are anywhere on this planet, even
if they move two or three times; if
they die their heirs get it. Now
we arc going to combine with the
"Farm Journal" and send the
Columbian one year and the "Farm
Journal" nearly five years (re
mainder of 1900, and all of 1901,
1902, 1903 and 1904) to every
advance-paying subscriber, new and
old, to the Columbian. This great
offer had better be accepted before
it is withdrawn.
