Boston, Nov. 9. —Congressman Eu gene N. Foss was elected governor of Massachusetts by a plurality of 24,000. The remainder of the Republican tick et went into office. The defeat of Governor Eben S. Draper, the Republican nominee, Is due to the agitation over the increased cost of necessities and the outcry that the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill is one of the chief causes. The incoming legislature will show large Democratic gains, but there are still enough Republicans to insure the re-election of Senator Lodge, even should tkere be a fusion of Democrats and what few anti-Lodge Republicans who may have crept in. Rhode Island Elects Republicans. Providence, R. 1., Nov. 9. —The re election of Republican congressmen, Republican governor and state ticket and a Republican mayor of Providence is indicated. For governor, Lewis A. Waterman, the Democratic candidate, has reduced over 1000 Governor Poth ier's figures of last year, when Pothier had a plurality of nearly 12,000. In spite of this inward showing Republi cans claim Pothier's re-election by at least 5000 plurality and the election of the rest of the state ticket is con ceded. Result In North Carolina. Raleigh, M. C., Nov. 9.—Steadman Dem., for congress in the Fifth dis trict, polled heavier majority than was anticipated. May reach 2500, defeating Blair, Rep., for seat now held by Moorehead, Rep. Cowles, Rep., in the Sighth, is re-elected by reduced ma jorlty. It Is impossible to tell at pres ent whether Grant, Rep., is re-ele<?ted in the Tenth. Majority will not be over 500 either way. Mcintosh, Rep., polled a heavy vote in the Ninth, but Webb, Dem., la re-elected. The state went Democratic by 30,000. Republicans Lose In Illinois. Chicago, Nov. 9. —The Republican state committee claims the sure elec tion of only six out of the twenty-five congressmen from Illinois. It was con ceded that eight were still in doubt, with the probability that most of the Republicans would be defeated, and the other eleven districts were con ceded to the Democrats. The Demo crats have but six members in the present Illinois delegation, Local Items. A Classified Ad will sell it. Oysters at Boudman's, Sones town, Pa. Mrs. 11.

George Upman and Herbert Keeler, who have been for some time in Binghamton, N. Y., were home for a few days this week. The Pennsylvania department of agriculture has decided that fairs that allow gambling and gam bling devices on their grounds dur ing the fall exhibitions will forfeit their share of the state appropria tion. Three Canton youngsters were arrested for having Hallowe'en "fun". They were taken to the town hall and held until about midnight when, on promise togo home to their mothers they were released. An excliang says: "Col. Roose velt was 52 years old on Thursday (Oct. 27) but some folks will con tinue to call him Teddy." Yes, we had a birthday on that date too, and some people still call us down occasionly. Arrangements are being made to make the new postal savings banks the depositories of small sums of money for children, and to facilitate this saving the post ofiice department will soon place on sale at all post offices a special port card and special stamps. The card will represent the initial sum of ten cents and will contain spaces for affixing nine stamps each of the denomination ol ten cents. When the card is full .and represents one dollar it is to be filled out and mailed to a postal savings bank where it becoms a deposit in Uncle Sam's bank. If winter has come for keeps, and expects to stay with us until the April sun chases him off, as some are inclined to think, he has not seleced a very opportune time for his arrival. The heavy fall of snow which covered the earth on Friday and Saturday of last week came as a surpise to the builders, painters and farmers many of whom have unfinished work which they were forced to abandon. In many places apples are still on the trees and garden truck is for a great part resting in its summer home. We recently heard a man com plaining because an opportunity to bid on a certain job of work was lost for the reason that he had not known of it. Bids for this job were advertised in the News Item, Upon investigation it was found that he was one of the few who, al though once subscribers do not now take the home paper, and thus, by neglecting to again subscribe, for reasons known to himself he has possibly let many times the price of subscription slip through his hands. Moral—Again throw in your hook; there are more fish in the brook. Idaho Elects Republican. Boise, Idaho, Nov. 9.—Returns indl- j cate the election of the entire Repub lican ticket, headed by Brady for gov ernor, but by reduced majorities. French, an insurgent, seems certain of ■ election to congress. The legislature will be Republican, but there Is no United States senator to elect. The only issue is submission of a state wide prohibition amendment. Light Vote In Kentucky. Louisville, Ky., Nov. 9.

Louisville, Ky., Nov. 9. —Caleb Pow ers, in the Eleventh district, is the only Republican congressman elected. He won by 3000. 0 Editor Newell of the Canton Sentinel, gives some timely and sensible advice to husbands in the following: Don't kick because you have to button your wife's waist. Be glad your wife has a waist and doubly glad you have a wife to button a waist for; some men's wives have no waists to button. Some men's wives' waists have no buttons onto button. Some men's wives who have waists with buttons onto button don't care a continental whether they are buttoned or not. Some men don't have any wives with waists with buttons 'on to button any more then a rabbit. SONESTOWN. Arthur Basley met with a pain ful accident Thursday while work ing in heading mill.
