Mr. Peck made also two points in
regard to the votes of John Teller, OF
Hope township. and of the voter OF
Grant township whose vote was chal-
lenged in Mr.. Peck's answer to Seeds
petition. The former admitted that he
was not a resident of Hope township
when he voted, he having moved into
Jefferson township ten days before
Nov. 9Th. He went back to his old
township to vote thinking it perfectly
legal.
The other voter lacked four days of
being of age on Nov. 9Th and hence
voted illegally.
AS both these men voted and were
counted for Seeds, Peck gains two
votes. The case is being eagerly
watched and hardly fought.
SATURDAYS SESSION.
There was considerable important
testimony in the probate judge contest
last evening, too late for the REFLEC-
TOR to give before going to press. 1t
chiefly related to the statements of A.
G. Shook, who was the leading witness
of the confession, Mr.. Seeds. Mr..
Shook had stated that he saw Peck
destroy and substitute ballots. Wit
nesses were brought by the contestee
to show that the witness reputation
for veracity and truth was bad in
Jefferson township.
Mr.. Seeds replied to this by calling
to the stand L. II. Lifts, Sam'l
McNinch, Sam'l Burkholder, John
Taylor, R. J. Gum, Fred Laid, VIM.
Ainsworth, Glenn Bell, all of South
Dickinson, who testified that Shocks
general reputation for truth and verac-
ity is good.
The court then proceeded with a
recount of the vote of Lyon township,
making no material change in the
result. This continued until adjourn
ment.
This morning the votes of the third
ward of Abilene were recounted.
Eight ballots were laid aside for con-
slderation. Six of these will undoubt-
eddy be given to Seeds, making gain
of one vote for Seeds in that ward.
At ten O'Clock the evidence was all
in and the court adjourned until pm,
when Hon. T. F. Carver, counsel for
the confession, began his summing up
speech. lie caref ully reviewed all the
evidence, EN- phasizing the Jefferson
township episode. He laid much
stress upon the fact that Fl Democrats,
2 Union Laborites and 1 Republican
testified to having voted for Seeds while
only Is Seeds ballots were returned.
Mr.. Shook also swore to false dealing.
Fifteen of the eighteen the confession
has identified. Mr.. Shocks testimony
in regard 10 his saying that Peck
destroyed tickets was elaborated at
some length. There should be, the
confession claimed, nine ballots in the
box which are not there. If the court
finds that there is uncertainty in the
result, as shown in the poll-books, the

IN THE COURTS HANDS.
The Seeds-Peck Contest Ended so Far
as the Evidence and Arguments Are
Concerned.
FRIDAYS SESSION.


The Sneds-Peck probate Judge con-
test began again this morning at 10
O'Clock, the full court being present.
The contestee. Mr.. Peck, continued his
defense. Several witnesses from JEFF
ierson township were called and all
testified that there was in their judg-
ment no wrong dealing done.
Hon. J. W. Gibson testified that he
was at the polls nearly all day and that
he saw nothing wrong. He also testi-
fed that the character of A. G. Shook,
the witness who swore last Monday
that he saw Mr.. Peck destroying three
tickets in an clubhouse and substitute
others in the ballot-box, was bad in re
gard to his truth and veracity.
Hiram Springer, of jefferson, de.
clared that he was at the Jefferson
township polls all day and saw nothing
wrong though he was close to Mr.
Peck most of the time. he also testi
5 fed that Shocks character for trutl
and yeracity was very bad.

On this point Mr.. Carver quoted sew.
eral legal authorities going to show
that such must be the action in case OF
uncertainty. The Importance of the
purity of the ballot was touched upon
and at o'clock Mr.. Carver closed bis
argument.
a recess Of ten minutes was then
taken.
Upon the court being called to order
Mr.. Mead, attorney for Mr.. Peck, be-
gan his argument. He could not see
the necessity of going into such detail
in regard to throwing out ballots. In
Detroit their were two votes in dispute.
One was conceded to Peck. The other
was a ballot were Peck was voted for
for county attorney. In another town.
ship the words probate judge" are
scratched and Seeds name written in.
The same rule should be applied
to both ballots-if one is for
Peck, the other must be for
Seeds. The evident intention should
guide in determining the ballot. In
Buckeye one ballot had Peck printed
and Seeds written. Another is so illeg-
ible as not to be counted. Up to this
point not a gain or loss has been made.
In Lyon township the commissioners
revised returns made 205 Peck, 2S1
Seeds. One more ballot had had the
name erased. 1t should be given to
making him gain of one.
Regarding the Jefferson township
portion of the contest he emphasized
the fact that only one witness could
swear positively that his ballot was not
there. The others voted ballots that
someone else had given them and were
consequently unable to determine ex-
actly the ballot that they deposited in
the box. The men whose ballots are
not found are the men who cannot read
or write. Mr.. Mead then quoted apple
able sections from the Kansas and
United States statutes going to show
that little stress should be laid upon
evidence as to how persons voted. es-
pecially when some considerable time
had elapsed since the election. The
Impeachment of the Shook testimony
was discussed at length and the argu-
ment closed with a concise review of
the claims and status of the contestee.
After a short interval Mr.. Moore,
assistant counsellor the confession closed
the case with an earnest argument for
his client.
At six o'clock the case was given to
the judges, Messrs. Hurd, Johntz and
Kohler, who have the evidence under
advisement and who will formulate
their decision as soon as possible. AS
it will be in writing a couple of days
will probably elapse before it is handed
in. Whatever their judgment may be
it will doubtless prove final as neither
party to the contest will likely care to
appeal the case after so exhaustive an
examination before so well selected
court.

petty larceny, were each sentenced to

GREAT
REDUCTIONS!

Notwithstanding the hard times, our sales
up to the first Of the new year have been
greater by SO per cent than any other years
trade in the history of our business career.
To make this wonderful increase in our sales
it has been necessary for us to carry a ire
mendous stock Of merchandise and to make
low prices That our efforts in the way of
low prices have been appreciated, is proven
conclusively by the large increase in our bust
ness. 50 per cent. increase in sales during
year when times have been as close as during
this past year, is a wonderful showing, but
this is just what we have done by our Low
Prices and Great Variety of stock
In carrying such an immense stock, of
course it is next to impossible not to have
surplus in some department. But rather than
carry over any of this surplus we have made

Monday, Oct. Il.
To-days trading in cattle was far from
being satisfactory to the selling interests.
There was a little OF everything here but
more stockers and feeders than anything
else, There were a few good western
beeves, about nine loads Of pretty fair corn
fed steers and quito a string of Texans.
The market was slow and lower, perhaps
l0c lower on the more common grades. The
native beeves sold at $3.709i.20 and some
corn fed westerners nt si.O5 The Texans
sold largely at 81 40. "Sow" and 'weak'

II was estimated that there were over $500
feeders ana stockers in the yards, including
the fresh receipts ana the hold-overs. The
trade was slow, but quite q good many
changed hands before the market closed.
The best grades of feeders are holding up

Dawson has consulted eminent physi-
clans in this country and Australia, and
has even travelled TO India to see " ma
tive knowledge of venonmous serpeuts

says he has spent more than he over
made in trying TO get cured. His visit
to the Zoo yesterday was prompted by
a review in the Sunday Press ofa maga-'
zine article by DR.. s, Weir Mitchell on
snakes and thor venom. He
asked Head Keeper Byrno TO
show him the snakes, and
among the collection he found one
that he said was of the same species as
one which bit him. The snake he
picked out is called tho indigo snake,
and comes from South America. 1t is
about seven feet long, and, being new
arrival at the Zoo, little has been
learned of its habits and nature. Daw-
son showed Keeper Byruo the swelling
