THE DISTRICT ELECTION.
AN UNUSUALLY QUIET ELECTION AND
SMALL VOTE POLLED-OLD OFFICERS
IN THE MAIN RE ELECTED.


IN THE MAIN RE ELECTED
The election Of district officers on Thurs
day of last week was probably attended
with that kind of work which usually
prevails on such days. In several districts
only were party lines drawn. In these
the victorious side has nothing to boast
over as the full vote was far from out
Five of the old Supervisors were re-
elected In Ashby district, j. II. Hepner
succeeds l.. l.. Ryman as Supervisor
In Madison district there was a complete
turn around and a new magisterial board
elected All the other officers except
several who declined to run were again
chosen. 1886 votes were polled in the
county against 1859 for President last
November. Below is gwen the vote re-
celved by the candidates in the different
districts. Those printed in italics are
the successful candidates.

The weekly game Of base ball between
the Valley Stars and the Scrubs, who
hereafter wish to be known as Hayseeders,
came of on the commons Saturday
afternoon, notwithstanding the rain in
the morning, which put the grounds III
bad condition for playing, and sprinkling
at intervals during the progress Of the
game. The Hayseeds were first at the
bat, and in the first three innings scored
twelve runs, owing to the pitcher Nor
rison's extreme wildness. The Valley
Stars on the other hand secured nine runs
mostly earned. From the third to the
seventh inning Morrison got down TO work
giving the Hayseods three runs and a
skunk. Meantime the Hayseeds changed
pItohers-Gillock for Magruder-and by
wild pitching and errors in the field the
end of the sixth inning left the Stars two
runs ahead. In the seventh inning the
Farmers made five runs by punched hits
and bad fielding on the part of their
opponents, who were skunked when they
came to the bat. Both pitchers did pretty
work in the last two innings. With the
exc option of several bad plays all the
men did splendid Catchers w. NJ. Ben
der and D. B. Busbong, s. S. Riddleber-
ger, and the pitchers deserve mention for
their excellent work. II. J. Bender for
the IIayseeds helded excellent. Riddle
berger and Walton carried of the batting
honors, the former for the Valley Stars and
the latter for the Hayseeds. Following is

Expensive Education.

Harvard is the most expensive college
in the United States, and is fast becom-
ing such luxury that only rich mems
sons can afford it. Some of the profes-
sors themselves rather discourage poor
young men from attempting the course.
By extraordinary economy youth can
manage on 5000 year, but this will not
permit him to indulge in any of the
amusements so dear to the heart of
young men. The maximum expendi-
ture, so far as ascertained, is $4,000 a
year. One thousand dollars will enable
the student to get on comfortably. The
item of greatest expense is room rent
Then many of the rich students fit up
their quarters extravagantly, which
makes the poor boy feel shabby and
mean with his humble furnishings.
There ought to be a rule in American
colleges that all rooms shall be furnished
alike. -.' ~

MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. 1.-THE National
convention of Foresters of this country,
in session here, have consummuated the
declaration of independence from the
Foresters court of England. The Eng
lish branch is directly responsible for
the split. In attempting to force upon

storm of indignation and SO much bitter.
ness of spirit was engendered that no
other course was left open. The new
organization will be known as the An
cient Order of Foresters of America.
The term high court, in use in the old
order, was changed to supreme court,
and all other minor changes made which
seemed necessary in instituting distinct
lively American court. In the evening
the visiting members were treated to
sumptuous banquet by members of the
local order, and which was followed by
speechmaking and dancing.

4 Celebrated Case.

Inc Flach IFauuuIenG ulVOrC6 Case ~
the most notable and sensational affair
of the kind on record Sheriff James A.
Flack, of New York, is popularity sup
posed to be in receipt of $40, 1000 year.
His alleged divorce left his wife penni-
less. He had allowed her, it seems, as a
favor, SIS a week. For this reason she
had the case reopened and the divorce
set aside, and she is now again the only
lawful wife of the reluctant James.
1t is perhaps unfortunate that two per-
sons must be held together by the law
when they detest one another and quar-
rel like cat and dog. But it is public
infamy for divorce to be- obtained by
the Flack method. 1t was vile con-
spiracy from beginning to end. Those
whose names are connected with it were
Lawyer Ambrose Mcneil, civil justice,
Joseph Meeks, a high official of the coun-
ty clerks office, Flack, the sheriff, and
viii F1aclS, his son, who in this case
seems to have aided and abetted the con-
spiracy to defraud his own mother. The
couple were married in 1850. 1t is un-
fortunate that after thirty-nine years of
married life all parties could not have
endured their woes a few years longer.
But there was another woman whom,
report says, the sheriff wished to make
his wife de jure, as she had long been de
facto. That was the trouble.
Mcneil was Flack's friend and counsel.
Meeks was his very intimate friend.
One day Lawyer Mcneil asked 4 lawyer
friend, Benjamin Wright, to stand as
Mrs. Flack's lawyer and sign her applica-
ton for divorce. There was nothing to
do but sign his name, he was told, as a
matter of form. Both sides wanted a
divorce, and the case would go before a
referee. Benjamin Wright was an oblig-
ing man. He consented to let his name
so as Mrs. Flack's lawyer, though he
never saw her and she never saw him.
The court was very obliging, and kindly
appointed Intimate Friend Meeks referee.
Friend Meeks in due course reported,
and testified over his own signature that
Mrs. Mary E. Flack appeared personally
and testified, when as matter of fact
Mrs. Flack never had heard of her own
application for divorce.
The divorce was granted on July II.
Aug. young newspaper man sud-
denly appeared before Mrs. Flack, and,
touching his hat politely, asked her what
she had to say about her divorce. That
was the first intimation she had of it.
Then she took active measures at once
and had the divorce set aside.
But what will be done with the con-
spirators remains to be seen. The in
fanny has already begun to work its
destructive results. Flack was grand
sachem of Tammany. He has had
to resign the office. Meeks has been
obliged to give up his place in the
clerks office. Of course, the shrievalty
of New York cannot continue to be rep
resented by q man with such a blot on
his name. Honest people can congratu-
late themselves that the villainy and de-
ception were so soon unmasked.

Internal Revenue Figures.

Commissioner of Internal Revenue
Mason has made his preliminary report
for the fiscal year ending last June. 1t
shows an increase Of revenue over the
fiscal year ending June so, 1888, of more
than $6.500,000.
The internal revenue collections for
the year just past amount to S130, $685.
43253. Of the sc, ,56S, ,967.21 increase all
but S32. 1899 came from tobacco and
liquors. a largely increased number of
distilleries have started up. 1t is worth
while to note this in connection with
the fact that wages for all kinds of labor,
with only one or two exceptions, have
gone steadily down in the past two years.
1t goes to show that the cutting down of
ence in the consumption of whisky, beer
and tobacco, Philanthropists and social
economists of the statistical stripe will
want to make note of that.
Looking once more into Commissioner
Masons report, we find itemized the ar
ticles which have thus increased the
internal revenue in the midst of falling
wages. The revenue from tobacco alone
foots up an increase of 81, ,204 ,42S. The in
crease, moreover, in smoking and chew
ing tobacco and cigarettes is out of all
proportion with the rest. It gives little
round for the statement made by some
ody that Americans are ceasing to be to-
acco chewers. Heaven speed the day,
II the sake of the non-chewers; but,
II the same, heaven does not appear
be speeding it in the least.

but they are built from the ground up.
The very women among them show

their heads straight upon their broad

For frugality and industry they have
