Because of the great number of pre- electors and the candidates the big ticket It took the Court nd assistants all of Thursday after- oon to count the returns and all of Friday morning to total them up with tiding machines. Naturally there were some interest- ng sidelights.

Doylestown was one the few districts in which the presl- enilal vote was confined to the two reut parties. In some other districts considerable Prohibition, Socialist nd Independence vote was polled. It lowed, however, that the scattering ole was conbidernbly changed from 904. Four years ago the Prohibition residential electors received 175 otes; this year they got 191. The oclalist vote also has increased from S) to 141).

The Independence vote has ccreased from 14 in 1904 to 9 this ear. The 8oclulist-Lubor vote has ropped" from 26 four years ago to 12 his year. Not being pleased with some of the andidates few voters selected their wn. In Morrisville borough thirteen oles were cast for Howard I. James, Bristol, for Congress.

One voter the same town wanted M. (J. Wright or Director of the Poor. One North Plmnstead voted for Dr. 8.

Price, of Doylestown, for Sheriff, otwithslanding the fact that the later failed to secure the nomination for lat office, and another voter in 8oulu "Mumstead was so Impressed with the bility exhibited by Constable Cecil Haldeman in administering the utomobile law that he (perhaps ronically) voted for that zealous fllcer for Judge of the Superior Court, ohn Myers got a vote for Sheriff in oulh Plurnstead, and a ballot was ast for John Gallagher, for Congress, the Third ward of Quakertown. WHO GISTS THE SPOILS? With election over the natural query hat cotnes next is: Who will the new fllcert, select as their deputies? Up this time the query has not been nswered, but men who should know hat they are talkingabout say they elieve the present deputies will be re- urned with the possible exception of Deputy Sherlfl William A. Paxson, nd he may continue under Sheriff Beidler. Rumor had it that Sheriff Beidler vould very likely appoint his sun-in- aw, Charles Bchabinger, as his de- uty, but it is said on pretty good au- uonty that ''Charlie" wouldn't have t. Burroughs Michener i in all Tobability continue as Deputy Reorder; James T.

Keyser as Deputy of Orphans' Court; A. Harry Jalyton as Deputy Clerk of Quarter isions, and Washington Uadwallader Commissioners' Clerk. All of hem are efficient officers, courteous and well qualified for the positions in which they have made many friends, lead Keeper William Fletcher, who has made an excellent officer at the Jounty Prison, is expected by his riends to keep that post under the new administration. PRAISING BUCKS COUNTY. Folks in Bucks county have a fairy good opinion of themselves as they have a right, but this last week some of them have noticeably squared their shoulders and thrown their chests out after reading an editorial in the Philadelphia Record which calls attention to the fact that Bucks countians do not need any help from the President's Arglcultural Uplift Commis sion.

At some length the writer points out the many organizations in the county which had met that week and discussed topics of intellectual interest and advancement from bee culture to Alaska wheat, and from Founders' Week to the "Prince of Parthla" and aerial navigation. And then the editorial concludes: "Our friends of Bucks county assuredly need no help from the Uplift Jommission in making agricultural ife interesting and stimulating. If all their weeks were as full as this one only a portion of the events of which we have summarized, our Bucks county friends would have to come to Philadelphia occasionally for rest and Never knew how good we looked to outsiders did you--you fellows who complain that Bucks county farmers pay more attention to literature and rine driving rigs than they do to the plough and the pig pen and real work? Get busy; boost a little 1 REV. BTECKEL INSTALLED. Presbyterians saw their new pastor, W.

E. Steckel, installed here on Thursday evening. Dr. Thomas K. Beeber, of Norristown, presided, preached the sermon and propounded ihe constitutional questions.

Rev. Dr. Laird, of Frankford, delivered the charge to the people, and Dr. J. R.

Kendall, of Lincoln University, the charge to the pastor. Rev. W. L. Schmalhorst, of Neshaminy, read the Scripture, and Rev.

J. P. Krewson, of Forest Grove, made the prayer of irstallation. Pastor Steokel has only been here a few weeks, but he has become immensely popular as an eloquent and thoughtful preacher and as a sociable and lovable man. MYSTERY UNDER THE BOX.

Bristol sends a good many cases to court, so it's only fair to the home folks to let them know that every time they go into the witness box they sit POLITICALLY PERMANENT. Directors of the Republican and Democratic clubs of this place have met within the last week to consider the question of permanent organization. Both clubs passed upon it favorably and It is quite likely both will remain in their present quarters which are snug, spacious anj equipped with various amusements, Since the clubs have opened their doors they have been filled in the evenings by men in all walks of life, who drop in for a friendly game of cards, checkers or shufficboard. It has also been suggested that one evening each week be set aside as visiting nights bo that Republicans who have friends In the Democratic club, and vice versa, can have them call and feel at home. By the way, that suggestion came from a Republican, Deputy County Treasurer Gulick.

POST-ELECTION BOOM. So much has been said about the booming industries since Taft's election that it may not be out of order to mention the local situation. The silk mill owners believe that there i be big improvement in a short time and managers of other big plants also say they expect things to "pick up," but so far there has been no remarkable booms as are pictured in other places. Right along tins lino the Demo- Tats are having a little good-natured fun. A Republican banker who happened to remark on the "boom" proposition was caught up by a Democrat who exclaimed: "Booming! Here! Why, a week ago LenapcHal) rented for and new it's down to $15." That was a crack ut the Republicans who offered the hall to tbeiropponents for $85 in advance of the cost An- rat po had I though there had been a sto're down "Germany" since the Civil War, it had closed after Tuft was elected.

It was true, of course, but local condi- tons were the cause of the losing of the store. 80 the battle of wits goes on with the. Democrats sliding down lo the defeat level and fighting every inch of the way. "PETES" WINNINGS. Brlstollans may be interested in the following from a Doylestown paper: "Postmaster Minster, of Bristol, was a visitor to Doylrstown on Monday and he was in an exceedingly good humor.

His winnings on election bets many times covered his contributions to the local and national campaign funds and he was so happy over his good luck that he had to come to the County Seat and let his fellow Grundyltes know of it. When some of his friends here Intimated that "Pete" was only romancing a little about his big winnings, the postmaster produced "the goods." He pulled a big bunch of checks out of his Inside vest pocket and handed them around among the wondering and admiring Grundyitesas proof that he had "made good." The checks caused no little curiosity when the names of the signers were read. "Pete." seemed to have nipped some of the Majority Rule supporters quite severely, they having bet liberally that Case and Everitt would poll 2,500 votes. It is said that the postmaster's winnings, as evidenced by the checks he exhibited, would total up to about FOR KAPID READING. Seventeen fine sold here, Monday, by H.

Just think Hor- little stand there is an accumulation of tangible evidence in the way of bloody shirts, pistols and knives fronr murder cases, and all sorts of other goose-fleshy things! That is, the tip- staves say so. Personally we never saw the Inside of the enclosure which is reached through a tiny trap door in the side which ia concealed from view when the jury chairs and counsels' tables are in place. Court Crier Murphy holds the key to the situation, and some day when he is in real good humor we are going to try to get him to give us a peep into the depths.

He hasn't been In the humor yet, and, when asked, wouldn't even say whether the plug of tobacco which nearly convicted Wallace Burt, murderer of the Rightleys, was there. Chances are that it is, and that many other "exhibits" are there which would recall no small number of inter eating criminal cases which have been tried in the last fifteen or more years. BUCKS COUNTY MEDICAL.
