Tine Senatorial Eight Assumes New
Phase-Personal Notes
Early 10 tha ffies as a senatorial con-
rentiop. composed Of delegates fron Bel
mon. aad Harrison counties, the la.e
Judge Cowen, tbeu q power in the new
born Rsp1bicaa party, introduced reso-
luton giving each county equal represen-
t,,ion on basis Of one delegate for every
township in Belmont county. That COM
~ had sixteen townships, while Harrison
had on'v fifteen. There.Or Harrison wss
oiveu one deiersie-at-large. At that time
Harrison eouallel Belmont 10 population
and weslth and uollsd about SIS many Re
nrblicsn votes The basis Of representa-
f,o, iD convention WIS maniiesty ioir.
Tr-dav however. the conditions are alto
gstber char ced. Belmont has ouis'riPpej
Harrison 10 everything except able-bodied
office seekers. But the representation re-
mains unchanged, for the reason
that H7uison refuses to sur
render her position, slthoug5
it Is co1fesssdly unjust. Judge Cochran
sud SONS of the other candidates for the
Republican nomination have planted
tbemseivss sq1areiy upon a platform OF
iair representation, while J. WilouE
Nichols. ASP of Belmont, has Tepudia,ed
his own county and believes IN disir8n
cbisirc his fellow Republicans who poll
about twice as many votes IS are cast IN
Harrison. Judge Cochran asseris the sys-
tenn is wrong, iuasmuch as the individual
Republicans are not given representation,

HE WASN'T A RABBIT.
And When His Commission Came He No
 Doubt Got Square with His Enemy.

And When His Commission Came He No
 Doubt Got Square with His Enemy.
 Several years ago. when John M. ThurStcn was stumping Nebraska in an important campaign, Ire included its extreme western part, then decld- ediy wild region, in his circuit. He was proceeding by stage to Sidney one day, when they stopped at little station to change horses. While this important operation was going on a large, determined looking man VI hose most conspicuous article of clotii- ing was big revolver approached the stage cautiously, and while oc' casionally glancing nervously at a small building, some hundred yards away, with a large sign of ''postotiice on it, he inquired for Mr. Thurs ton. That gentleman made himself known and the stranger said:
 You speak down at Sidney to- night, hear"
 ''Yes, 1 expect to-"
 T reckon i'll come down with my partition and do little work"
 What is your petition fora" inqulr- ed the judge.
 ''The postohice up there," and the man pointed with his thumb.
 ''Is there good prospect that you will get its"
 "You bet-Tm sure of it, but l lowed few more names wouldn't do no hurt When l git it there's goin' to be the doggondest biggest change 1aroa ralo
 Flows that?"
 "Why, l ain't had letter out O that air office fer over two years.
 "Why not9"
 ''The dinged critter that has 1t now says he will shoot me on sight, and you bet he'd do it too, so 1 lay mighty low. When a letter comes fer me he nails it to the door, shoots it full O holes, sends word fer me to come and get it and watches fer me out O the winder."
 How comes he to have such dis like for you?"
 ''Claims stole one O his steers. 1 didn't touch one O his steers till he'd hooked two O my calves and 1 can prove it. But jess you wait till my commission gifts here and get hold O that office. I'll wad the first letter that comes fer him in my shotgun and fire it down the well. Jess wait a lit tie, jedge; he'll find that 1 can pound stamps with one hand and cover the front door with a six shooter with the other jess as well as he can. My name is old Jim White, and you bet when I've got my boots on can tie up the eastern mail with my teeth and hold a gun on the gen'ral deliv'ry and money order winder both at the same time. Old Jim White ain't no rabbit when it comes to holdin' a government position an lookin' out for his rights. " New York Tribune.

Cenneci.curs Secret Ballot.

A New York dispatch says: Re ports from Connecticut are to the eff feet that the new secret ballot law worked admirably in the town elec- tons held to-day. This law IS sub- stitute for the Australian system, and was proposed by Governor Buikely. According to its provisions only the voter himself may know for whom he votes, or what names he erases or adds. The Secretary of State, at the expense of the State, furnishes the town clerks with envelopes stamped with the State seal, and all ballots must be placed in these envelopes and sealed before they are dropped into the ballot-box, and the ballot will not be counted if the envelope IS not securely sealed. The paper on which the ballots are printed is supplied by the State also, and each ballot bears the State seal.
 The towns are districted so that 150 persons may vote in one place. A se- ries of closets were erected in every Town House. These rooms are se- cret, and only one person can enter at one time and be can remaln there not te exceed three minutes, and the man in charge must see that the room is empty before another voter enters.
 While inside the voter Is absolutely alone. He fixes his ballot as it may please hlm. puts it in an envelope and seals it. He then proceeds to the poll ing place, where his name IS called and checked. No person may peddle votes within 100 feet of the polling place, and no one shall suggest a name or interfere with a voter while in the closed room. A heavy fine is imposed for giving or offering to elec- tors any ballots after they have left the private rooms.

Curious rransmittal of Scarlet Fever.

In 1646 boy of 8 years, the brother of thenarrator's wife, was taken down with scarlet fever and died One of the principal amusements of his ill ness had been looking over a large picture book. After his death this, with several other useful playthings, was packed away in trunk. Twenty six years later, ill 1872, the sister-in- law of the editor took this trunk with her on a journey which she made to England, where he was then residing. The trunk was opened the second day after it's arrival and the picture book was taken out and presented to the editors 2-year-old SOIL During the next fortnight tie Kssle fellow was at tackled by scarlet fever. It was won der to the doctors who were called in consultation how the disease had been contracted, as there had been no scar let fever i'll the town for years. At last it occurred to the editor that the picture book might have transmitted the disease, and the medical men in attendance, on being told the facts connected with it, agreed that it had retained the poison for twenty-six years and communicated it to the child.-Boston Post.
