SATURDAY S POLL RESULTS. The following are to be found in the results of Saturday's polls, in which there were returned 22 Radicals and Labour men, and 5 Unionists. The most notable events are the retain of MT. Churchill by a remarkable majority, the 100> of .Mr. Balfour's seat, and the great increase noticeable in the Labour or Socialist vote—both bracketed Tinder the liberal head for convenience—which has swelled from hundreds in 1900 to thousands in 1906. Mr. Balfour's remarks en iiis defeat are dealt with elsewhere. So far the "landslide" has been overwhelming. The Liberals had, up to Monday morning, scored 22 gains, and the Unionists none. Man- chester, Salford and .Brad.fleven sea.ts went "solid' on the R-adicate. Mr. Bal- k- has been unseated, after passing tferrogft four elections as M.P. for the Man- t4ar constituency. In 1885 his was 824; in 1892, 398; » lnS, 764; and in 1900, 2,453 Thf -t day of the last election-1900- resaJte fl" the Unionists capturing 8 Liberal ■Mtta <x.j, 21 oontesteG. LIBERALS. ter-Lvne.—A.

BLOODLESS GIRLS. I'OCTORo AND NURSES THOUGHT HER DOOMED.—BILE BEANS CURE. Anaemia among the fair &ex is undoubtedly on the inert-ase. The streets of our busy towns are tmcngod with girls whote pale cheeks are often tinged with a sickly yellow or green, instead of with roses, and whose breath is as short 4s their nerves are weak and unstrung. Bile Beans are the ideal remedy for this disease and all its alarming symptoms. Anaemia, means poverty of the blood. To improve the quality of the blood, the stomach, liver, and bowels, whence the biocd dcriver; its nourishment must be kept in ^perfect condition. The blood is the chan- nel through which the food we ca.t reaches all parts of the body, repairing and renew- ing worn-out tissue. If the blood is starved, the body is starved also and then constipa- tion, early decline, heart disease, and con- sumption too often result. Bile Beans clearuse and invigorate the di- gestive organs, and fill the blood with mil- *10of rich red corpuscles, carrying the ruddy hue of vigorous health to pallid faces and languid lips." TTMr*- Andrews, of 24. Ha warden Grove, Herne Hill, London, S.W., says:—"In the early part of the year I fell ill and the doc- tors at fitst gave me no hope of recovery. I wa's afterwards troubled with night sweats, and was risked repeatedly if there had been, consumption in my family. Eventually I went into hospital, but the night sweats con- tinued. I became t,hin and emaciated, and the nnrf.K= regarded me as doomed. A sea voyage did me some good. but afterwards I relapsed into my oid condition. I was now in the grip of anaemia, and once more be- came .subject to he weakening night sweats. The terrible pains in the chest almoet con- vmced jje that consumption was reaJly the cause <>f my illness. I consulted a specialist, who advis^l me to go into hospital again. I dici not follow this advice, but decided to tTY Bile Beans. After taking a couree of Beans I found my heaJth improving. I he night sweats entirely disappeared, t.he pa-uns in the chest vanished, and I am now feenng so well and strong that it is difficult to believe that anything could have brought about su^h a wonderful change in me. I know that Bile Beans are responsible for my cure, and I am most grateful." cure, and I am most grateful." Bile Beans, t.he medicine which wrought suon a transformation in Mrs. Andrews, has so many sterling merits as a romc-laxative J^fen^-er that it cannot fail to benefit you also. See that you get the genuine Chas. Forde's Bile Belns for rWiousness. Of all chemists, in boxes at Is. ljd. or 2s. 9d. (triple size).

SWANSEA CONTEST OVER SIR GEORGE NEWNES FLOATS IN WITH THE TIDE. CONSERVATIVE VOTE INCREASED BY OVER 800. The Swansea election is over, and though ehere is no change in the representation, it is generally allowed that CoL VVrignt, the defeated Unionist candidate, made an ex- ceedingly good fight of K. When the poll clostd at eight o'clock on Tuesday evening and it became known that it was a heavy o-ae, it was at once realised that this mili- tated against the Colonel's clianoes of suc- cesses. The counting took place at the Guildhall, aid within fifteen minutes the whole of the ballot boxes from the 14 differ- ent polling stations had duly been deposited in the Council Chamber, the carriages con- taining them and the officials of the various booths, rolling up in rapid succession. The weather, though very duty, was at this time line, and people flocked to Somerse.- place in the expectation of hearing the result declared at first hand. The -.vayor (Mr. Gwilym Morgan) as returning officer, and the Town Clerk (Air. Jno. Thomas) were early in attendance, ¡¡.n,d within a few minutes after the close of the poll Col. Wright and a few of jus supporters entered the Council Chamber. The Colonel looked extremely happy—be always does look thim whether on tHe winning or the losmg side-- and fait confident that at least he had polled, well, though he might not have succeeded in" actually defeating tho sitting member in what must be confetsed is a borough of Radical traditions. At nine o'clock Sir George Newnes, Bart,, arrived, and at about this time it was known outside the counting room that tile sortmg of the papers had only jiftst been completed, so heavy was the poll. Forty minutes later the resuit was definitely known in the counting room, and within, a couple of seconds was in the "Daily Post Offices in High-street. The poll was decided at 9.50, at which, hour there was a large concourse of peopie ajixiouely waiting outside, the GuildlvaJl iaxd from which the gcnc-ral public were rigorously excluded. Ti^Mayor (MT. Gwilym Morgan) as Returning Officer, announced the result of the poll as follows —■ Sir Gcc-rje Newaes 5,5OJ Colonel Wright 4,081 X Majority 1,454 There were only six spo;lt papers.

Wright had conducted the campaign. (Ap- plause). Colonel Wr--ght, in seconding, thanked Sir George for what he had said in refere to himself, and repeated a similar compliment with regard to Sir George. Although the re- sult was not so pleasant as he would have liked, he was man enough to know how to take a de<foat. (Applause). After the declaration cf the poll Sir George Newnes walked up through a dense crowd to the Hotel Mot-ropole, where he is staving. Hundreds gathered outside, and cheered for the Liberal member, who presently made his appearance on the hotel balcony. After the cheering had subsided Sir George thanked tbe electors for returning honour of which he was very proud- Cc»- Wright, he said, had fought this battle in a very gentlemanly manner. (Cheers). Sir George retired to his room and joined Lady Newnes. A quarter of an hour later he proceeded to the liberal Club, where Mr. Trrtton from the balcony announced that Sir George had been hurti in the crush, and ooulA" not speak. Immediately afterwards, however, Sir George arrived, and spoke in the club, and to the crowd outside from the balcony-

WHEN THE DOG DIED. At Swansea on Wednesday, Wm. Thomas, collier, Treboeth, was summoned for an ag- gravated assault cm his wife 'jjargaret. Mr. Leeder prosecuted; Mr. Thompson de- fended. Complainant said they had been married 12 years. She had not- lived happily with her husband but he gave her a black eye on January 3. She went that evening to her mother's.but- returned next morning. She was afraid to live with her husband be- cause he was so cruel. Mr. Thompson The beginning of it all was about a dog he thought his mother had poisoned. Witness Yes. Was the dog poisoned?—Yes, sir he had enough poison to kill twelve dogs. When did the poor dog die?—Last Tues- day week. And you've been married 12 years?—Yes. And the beginning of this now was when the poor dog died?—Yes. Since his mo- ther has been living down there there's been no peace in the house! Mr. Thompson said defendant was as anxious for a reparation as his wife, but the magistrate refused to make an order, saying that the parties must make their own terms. For the assault defendant was fined 20s.

Mrs. Edward Powell, sister of Mr. S. T. Evans, K.C., M.P., was present at the recent nomination of her brother for Mid- Glamorgan.Mrs- Powell has never missed a similar proceeding-

COD 17LBS.- IN WEIGHT. Mr. Sid E. W'oolston, Beachmont Cottage, OyBtermouth, writes:—I know what I am going to relate to yon will be received with very great interest by the readers of your valuable paper, especially those who are amongst the anglers who visit the Mumbles Pier regularly throaghout the whole of the year. I was the gentleman who caught the large cod-fish (as reported in the evening paper), and immediately afterwards I took it to Mr. Castleman, of the Waterloo Stores, Mumbles, and there had it weighed. It scaled 171bs., and measured 3 feet 3 inches in length. It took over half-an-hour to land, and I am given to understand by persons n the position to know that it is the biggest fish caught off the Mumbles Pier jetty. I know this will be interesting to all local anglers, and I am anxious that they should know the exact truth, as fish tales aro always received in a doubting spirit; but the above can ba absolutely vouched for.

BOLD, BAD BOAST! -At Swansea en Wednesday Wm. Francis appeared in the uniform of the British working man. He is a s-nker, and, accord- ing to Sergeant Button, of Clydach, had de- dared the other evening that he could ..mi three Is bold, bad boast caused a large crowd to gather, and the jo- lice were obliged to lock Francis up. Fran- cis was, of course, drunk, or he would not have said such a thing. It's easy enough to kill a policeman, but then they always ob ject. ject. "It's twenty-one years since I was at Clydach," said Francis; "1 belong to the place, and met with a few of my oid friends." Mr. Walters: It was a. pity to present, yoursolf under those unfortunate conditions. Your friends could not have had more ies- pect for you on that account. Francis was fined 15s.

SUNDAY EVENING WALKS AFTER CHAPEL. THIRD HEARING OF TAIBACH AFFILIATION CASE. At Aberavon on Wednesday, Lizzie Jane Rees (single), 7, Water-street, Taiba-c-h, sum- moned Walter Charles, Taibach, to show cause, etc. Mr. Ivor Bowen (instructed by Mr. L. M Thomas) was for complainant, and Mr. Meager (instructed by Mr. Hun- ter) defended. The caee had been heard twice/already. Mr. Ivor Bowen said the parties walked out every Saturday and Sunday evening after chapel. On September 18th they went y nt for a walk up the Duffryii Valley and when near the Celluloid Works undue intimacy took place under promise of marriage. A child was born on June 12th, 1905. The child had since died. Lizzie Jane Rees, complainant, bore out counsel's statement, and denied intimacy with certain men named. By Mr. Bowen: You know this man Dorman?—Yes. A local champion, I believe, like the famous local horse "Margam Boy." The Clerk "Taibach Boy." (Laughter.) Mr. Bowen: Did you accuse Dorman of being the father? Complainant: No; his (defendant's) parents suggested that. She knew Thomas

HOW TO BUY A HORSE. FEET AND LEGS FIRST: BODY AFTERWARDS. At Swansea on Wednesday, Wm. John Harris, Crumlyn-slreet, was summoned for working a horse in an unfit state, and Wm. Thomas Harris, platelayer, was summoned for causing the animal to be so worked. De- fendants are father and son. Inspector Bowyer, R.S.P.C.A., met the younger defendant near the Town Hall with a pony attached to a trap. He was driving at a trot. The horse was lame in three legs and poem--d in great pain. The elder defendant, when spoken to by the officer, said the horse had humps on his leg whe. he bought it two months ago. He gave £ 3 for it and thought he had been taken in. The elder defendant now said that the horse had been well kept since he had it and had improved in condition. Inspector Bowyer I'm quite prepared to believe he was taken in, your Worships. I know the gang he bought it of. Mr. W. Walters, J.P. (to defendant) Good feet and legs are essential in a horse. You know, it is said, "No feet, no legs" feet and legs first and the body afterwards. You must see to that when buying a horse. The elder defendant was ordeiod to pay costs and the younger dismissed.

RADICAL VOTES 2 SHILLINGS A HUNDRED. REV. GEO. BROOKS' ANTI-SOCIALIST LEAGUE. "TRUTH" REPRODUCES A SWANSEA CIRCULAR. Current issue of "Truth" deals in charac- teristic Laboucherian style with a manifesto issued at Christmastide by Mr. Geo. Brooks, from No. 7, Prince of Wales-road, Swansea, of "The lied Rose League (short title), otherwise "The Christian League in De-. fence of Morality and Industry and Pro- perty against Socialistic Attacg (full title)." "Truth'b" extract from the manifesto m- cludcs the following — "Whijt are we going to do? Shall we let those who woul ddismember the kingdom and shatter the social fabric work their fell will without offering to their wicked de signs the most a-ctive and strenuous and de- termined opposition? Nay, verily! I have plans—the circulation of my (re printed) 'Fortnightly' article, 'The Situa- tion in Ireland'—the reprinting of another 'Fortnightly' article. 'Socialism and Anarch- ism'—the issue of leaflets, advertisements, etc. Through the machinery of this new 1:1 League I can do much effective work. But I want £ 100 at least to enable me to do it promp- y and to fruitful purpose. Give me -0500, and I will undertake to detach half-a, million voters from the Radical side. "Will you help me—and at once? Tiierp is not a day to lose. Printers must be set to work at once, as Christmas has interfered with work graatly." Mr. Labouchere thus comments upon it: -"I do not envy the Select Few to whom this appeal was addressed their feelings to- day. Here was a firm (-Her of 500,000 Radi cal votes at £ 1 a thousand, and it has been lost-lost, there is too touch reason to fear, for ever. Think of 500,000 votes-about half the total poll at the last GMieral Elec- tion! It would not merely have saved all Lancashire and Yorkshire and converted Wales; it would have returned Unionists for every seat in Great Britain. All this lost for a paltry £ 500, lost through the set fish meanness of the ;ien who ought to be saving the country, but would rather let the country go to the Devil, or. worse tha,a that, to the Socialists and the Nationalists, than sacrifice the price oi a new hat or a game at bridge!"

HOW THE LUNGS BECOME DISEASED. IT IS THE HAWKING AND COUGHING THAT DESTROYS THE TISSUES OF THE LUNGS, AND MAKES THEM WEAK AND SORE. What you want is &omething to stop the hawking and take the soreness out of the throat and chesd. Nothing compares with VENO'S LIGHTNING COUGH CURE; it, soothes. inflamed membranes, eradicates the catarrhal mucus; you feel well quickly, For weak lungs, catarrh, bronchitis, chronic coughs and throat trouble there is no remedy to be compared with VENO'& LIGHTNING COUGH CURE. Relief comes instantly, and a permanent cure follows. It is strongly recommended by such Englishmen as W. Lascelles Scott-. Esq., F.S.Sc., Granville H. Sharpe. Fcq., F.C.S., Rev. W. Tulloch, D.D. Ask for VENO'S LIGHTNING COUGH CURE, 94d. 1 1&. ljd., and 2s. 9d. at chemists everywhere.

IS IT A COMPACT? WATER-TIGHT CLAUSE FOR CATHOLIC SCHOOLS. The editorial of Wednesday s "Daily Telegraph" states:—"We gather from the address of the Irish Nationalist league in Great Britain to Iri6h Catholic voters that some compact had been made between the Radicals and the Nationalifitfi on the subject of Catholic -education. "We do not profess to know the terms of that treaty, but we have been assured by more than a dozen Catholic priests in differ- ent conitituer-cieo-Fast, WTest, North, and South that in the amended Education Bill which is to be introduced there is to be "a watertight compartment" for Catholic schools, whereby Roman Catholics will be accorded privileges denied to Anglican, and even Nonconformist, institutions. "We wea-e in possession of this infotrma- tron before the elections began, and we re- frained from using it because our informants would not publicly endorse their private convictions. "But from what happened in Manchester, Leeds. Bradford, and Newcastle, it would seem that t-he report is probably true, as well as the almost incredible rumour current in Ireland t,hat Mr. Bryce is prepared to endow?" allow to be endowed a Roman Catholic University."

BALFOUR'S FAREWELL. Unprecedented scenes greeted the an- nouncement of Mr. Balfour's defeat at Man- chester on Saturday night. It is a strange circumstance that telephonic inquiries were made from all over Swansea to this office on Saturday evening inquiring whether it was true the ex-Premier had lost the con- test at an hour when the poll had not been declared even in Manchester. Mr. Balfour, speaking just after the announcement of the poll, thanked all his supporters and said "We have only got to consider that those oscillations of political fortune are inevit- able in a country governed by party. They have occurred in turn to every party in the State. (Hear, hear.) We think, and, I be- lieve, rightly think, them wholly undeserved in the present case. (Cheers.) We have to remember in mitigation of our condemnation by the public verdict that we have been in office ten years that the expectations made about our sudcesB are not, so far as I can make out, of a very sanguine description in any portion of the community; that, nevertheless, no party has been-in office ten years since the great Reform Bill was passed is 1832, more than 70 years ago. (Cheers.) We, and we alone, have had that" trial to endure-(laughtler)-and though I think tne historian of the future will, rprobably, come to the conclusion that no Government has endured it better or has left behind it a larger record of either social reform or ad- ministrative utility, nevertheless every Gov- ernment which has preceded ours has suf- fered a reversal of fortune, sometimes more and sometimes less, but invariable in 116 in-, cidence, ever since that new epoch was in- itiated which we date from the passing of the Reform Bill in 1832. At the Central Conservative Club, the ex- Premier delivered his valedictory address, his sister, Miss Balfonr, the while sitting silently weeping by his side. On public grounds, he said, he deeply deplored the result, for it might be fraught with disas- ter for the country, symptomatic as it was of what appeared to be a wave of tee mg which had attacked not only that constit- uency in the City of Manchester, but other parts of the country also. "From* the personal point of view, he said, "I confess it is a bitt-er thing for me to reflect that this long, happy, ajid lii- thereto fortunate and unclouded connection should now be brought to an end, and I hope my friends will believe me when I say that I shall carry away from East Man- chester an undying memory for all they have done for me."

EXPENSIVE JUSTICE. SWANSEA MAGISTRATES' CLERK ADVISES A SEAMAN. A Dutch seaman got into the witness-box at Swansea Police Court on Saturday, and said he wtinted to put a question. The pro- prietor of a lodging-house demanded pay- -t for a day's board which he had not re- Ccived, and had detained his clothing. He wonidn't hand over the clothes unless he paid h,ili-a-crown. Cl-rk If you get a summons, it will cost you 3s. M.. and perhaps more. Isn't it bet- ter to pay the haif-crown? "1 must pay the half-crown?" asked the Dutchman. Clerk It will be cheaper than paying half a crown or five shillings, and then running the risk of not v.rinning. Applicant (now convinced) That's the cheapest way, sir. Mr. Richards, J.P. Try and be careful in in t ure as to the sort of house you get into. And the seaman got down.

COLONEL AT THE CONSERVATIVE CLUB. Immediately upon the declaration of the poll Col. Wright, accompanied by a few of his most prominent supporters, proceeded to the Salisbury Club in Wind-street, out- side which a dense throng congregated. The Colonel addressed the crowd from the bal- cony, but so deafening was the cheering that it was with the greatest difficulty that he could be heard. However, he thanked the 4,000 odd electors who had supported him, and aocepted the result in the very best of spirits. Subsequently be met many of his sup- porters in the Club, the most prominent of whom had hardly expected a victory, in view of the remarkable change in the political fling.in the country. Indeed, the defeat may be mainly attributed to this phenomenon. Meanwhile, the scene in Wind-street was a remarkable one. Sir George Newnes was at the Hotel Metropole, next door almost, amd so dense was the crowd that there was no division line between the two sections, who cheered and "booed," and "booed" and cheered till they were well-niyh hoarse. At length Col. Wrights supporters broke out into "For he s a jolly good fellow," and for a few moments this was heard above the ¡ din. The ordinary traffic, of course, was considerably interfered with during this time, but mounted police were able to mike a passage way for the electric trams. Bv degrees the vast crowd dispersed, the Liberals congratulating themselves, though it was openly confessed by many that at least- 2.000 majority was expected, whilst the Unionists tiad the great satisfaction of knowing that a record Conservative vote the Unionists had the great satisfaction of knowing that a record Conserva-tive vote ) had been polled.

Jones, Castle-square, has been asked by the survivors to 'arrange for !J funeral, which will take place probably on Friday or Saturday.
