of the destruction OF seven head Of cattle be-
losgipg to l. 6. Freeman, Esq, from eating the
refuse Chinese Sugar Cane, after it had been
compressed in the mill. The outer coating of
the stalks is of very vitreous character, when
thus broken up and taken into the stomach it
operates like broken glass, cutting, and in some
cases penetrating entirely through the coats OF
that organ, producing violent Inflammation. A
post mor,em examination in this case, revealed
this as the cause OF death. This important fact
should be made known to every farmer, as II
may be the means OF preventing serious des-

MomstrOus Election Frauds In Saint
Louis


The investigation into the ST. Louis election,
by which Mr. Blair was defeated by the myrmi-
dions of the Slave Power, exhibit q series Of
most monstrious frauds, which are enough to
make all good men tremble Tor the safety ana
perpetuity of free institutions. Although the
time for investigation was quite limited, the
frauds brought out are truly startling. The
evidence shows that the seven precincts v hich
gave Reynold, pro.slavery candidate In 1906,
only 3O5 votes, gave Barrett, pioslayery can
d date in 1854, 2,76S votes, OF which Mr.. BLAIR
has identified and proven more ihan hve hun
dred to be fraudulent. The evidence also
shows such corrupt and fraudulent conduct on
the part Of several of the Judges OF election
and Barrett's most conspicuous partizans, TN
many instances proved to be fraudulent voters
themselves as leaves little doubt that almost
the entire increase OF vote for Barrett in these
precincts was illegal and fraudulent. In all OF
these precincts, except the eastern precinct oil
the Ninth Ward, where the evidence sbows
that Mr. Blair's friends were prev vented from
| voting by violence, his vote is increased over
| that which he received in the year 1906.
In one precinct the Judges were not ss orn
| by any competent officer. One OF these judges
| could neither .ead nor write, and one Of the
clerks had been convicted in the st. Louis
| criminal Court of a charge OF conspiracy to
| cheat.
1t was attempted to challenge some votes,
| but one of the Judges ordered the challenger
to be put out of the room.
| The paupers from the County Farm were
marched out to the polls and voted the Demo
cratic ticket.
/ n In one precinct no voters were sworn, al
| though nearly one-half who offered to vote
were strangers in the place.
1t was also shown that after all the frauds,
many of the ballots were not taken out aud
| counted, and the returns did not correspond
with the poll list
At the Carondolet polls twenty 1--WE laborers
