ou the next day the bride returned
to her mother's home and announced
that she was sorry she married arid
would not live with her husband,
She then continued to live with her
mother and sisters until her disap-
pearance, two weeks ago. The night
she dissappeared she left a uote witn
her sister, to be delivered to her hus-
band. It stated that she intended

ited every depot, and at last found

There is a reason for Jos. Cobb
winning by a large majority. Mr.
Cobb was for four years, Commis-
sioner of this district, and there
lias never been a better Commis-
sioner than he was.
M. M. Henderson, of the Te-
cumseh Standard, says it seems as
Pottawatomie county is the only
Democratic spot on the earth,
though Cleveland county went
Democratic by one Commissioner
more than "Pot."
"Don't fail to hear Mis9 Vernice

ticipate in a good time at the resi-
deuce of Mr. anil Mrs. ,1. W. Mar-
cum, tonight.
If you are going to have a public
sale the Leader is equipped to print

Even up in Kentucky they are
speaking of L. P. Barker investi-
gating the habits of his prisoners
in Cleveland county. Mr. Barker
says out of o00 prisoners that have
been in the county jail this year,
seventy per cent were addicted to
the cigarette habit.

LYDICK'S RACE COMPARED WITH OTHERS.
Much has been said about the race made for Representative
by J. D. Lydick, Democrat and J. B. Dudley, republican. When
the returns and official count are carefully examined, it will be
seen that Mr. Lydick. made a most remarkable race under the
conditions and circumstances. The whole strength of the repub-
lican party was behind Mr. Dudley and the Republican leaders
swapped off everything else on the ticket for Dudley. They
traded Tom Critcher, republican candidate for Sheriff, until he
hardly "dirtied" the tally sheet at Norman. Why McGuire got
211 votes in Norman and Critcher got but S'J. In the county,
Mr. Lydick received ! () more votes than Mr. Bryant, and received
only 11 votes less than Nicodemus.
Outside of the town of Norman, Mr. Lydick beat Bryant <17
votes and beat Nicodemus Hit votes; run behind Cralle, only 27
votes, and Cralle had but little opposition and against him no
effort was made, and run behind Hughes only 53 votes. When
we observe that Mr. Lydick could do these things and run ahead
of the candidate for sheriff and candidate for county attorney and
in fact run only 27 votes behind Mr. Cralle upon whom no fight
was made for it was known his election was certain, it seems that
Mr. Lydick made a most phenominal race. While bis plurality
was small, the reasons are obvious. First, the populist and re-
publicans "fused" on Mr. Dudley. Second, Barker, the populist
candidate for sheriff and Dudley, republican, swapped off the
earth, or so much thereof as they could get control of, for votes
for themselves. Why, Mr. Scott, the populist candidate for
representative got but 221 votes in the county when he should
have had 500. All the other populist vote went to Dudley, by
the Dudley-Barker agreement; this is evident from the further
reason that while Nicodemus got but 11 more votus than Lydick,
bis plurality was over 400, and while Bryant got 90 less than
Lydick, bis plurality was much larger than Lydick. In Lydick's
race, the opposition fused on Dudley while in the other races the
vote was divided between the pops and republicans. The south
end of the county where Lydick lived is what gave liim bis win-
ning majorities.
