THE STOCKTON ELECTIoN.
Claim Made that Some of the Ballots
were Illegal.

were Illegal.
STOCKTON, December 26th.-In the con.
tested election case for the office of County
Treasurer, the result depends upon the
ruling on thirty-two votes in which the
erasures and substitu.ions were made by
the use of analine or indelible pencils and
a stencil plate and printing ink. The OBJ
lection to counting the ballots is raade by
x-Congressman Budd for the Democratic
contestant, Kerrick, because the Law allows
only the use of lead pencils or common
writing ink. With regard to the indelible
pencil marks, he makes the protest that the
analine pencils makes a distinguishing
mark in the color, and therefore the ballot
must be rejected. The case has gone over
for argument next week.

FORT BIDXELL.
The Secretary of War Has Decided Not
to bandOn 1t.

WASHINGTON, December 26th.-The Sec
retary of War has decided not to abandon
Fort Bidwell. He thinks ii not safe for
settlers in that region to be left without the
troops at that post. The Sioux Indian
troubles and the murders by Indians in
Arizona have scared the people living in
that vicinity. The Piutes are peaceably in
clined, but at the present time the Wsr De-
partment is disposed to regard all Indians,
good and bad, with suspicion. AS hereto
fore, troops will be concentrated near the
railroad centers and large cities. No troops
will be moved from the isolated posts
where there is the slightest danger to set
tiers.
Orders have been issued directing Assist
ant Surgeon W. NJ. J. Wakeman to return
to duty at Fort Bidwell.

Seed Corn Four Thousand
Years Old.

Seed Corn Four Thousand
Years Old.
During the season of 1889 a most
remarkable crop was raised by
David Drew, at Plymouth, N. H.
In 1883 MI. Drew came into pos
session of some corn grains found
wrapped with a mummy in Egypt,
supposed to be 1900 years old.
These were planted and grew. It
had many of the characteristics of
real corn; the leaves were alternate;
it grew to be over 6 feet high; the
mid-ribs were white; but the pro-
duct of the stock, there is where the
curious part comes in. Instead of
growing in an ear like modern
maize, it hung in heavy clusters at
the top, on splkelets. There was
no tassel, no silks; each sprig was
thickly studded with grains, each
provided with a separate husk,
like wheat grains.

MISUNDERSTANDING Against
Mexico and Not for the

The following We excerpt from
an article found in a Pierce City
paper and signed by LIE. Clement,
of the Breeders Association:
The meeting will be held with the
Saline county meeting at Marshall
the first week in September. This
is a month later than we have had
heretofore, and will be of great
benefit to the breeders in getting
colts and stations ready for fast
work.
For some time the Mexico LED
GER has been heavily loaded with
headlines as follows: "Blue Bull

rotary of the State Breeders Asso-
citation, is named McGinty in Au-
drain County" "An obscure cor-
respondent of Coleman's Rural
World at Pierce City, Mo-, is op-
posed to Mexico" etc., etc.
Here follows a paragraph of
abuse of one of Mexico's hotels.
The real reason Clement don't like
Mexico is, because all the walters
at this hotel did not rush around
and wait on HIM alone.l
The president of the Audrain
County Agricultural and Mechani-
cal Society, Mr.. Bolts, showed
himself an honorable, heightened
gentleman, in making excuses for
not wishing to be counted with the
things, loafers, roustabouts, pur-
chased by the political manipula-
tors of the Mexico campaign. The
point at issue was ON the payment
of 500 claimed by the Secretary
OF the Breeders Association, and
denied by the two members of the
Board from Audrain. The vote is
a satisfactory exoneration to the
affirmative side of the question, as
it stood eleven to two.
The Missouri Trotting and Pac-
ing Horse Breeders Association
stands to-day stronger and better
than any State organization north

times the amount of stakes offered

elected new officers. Missouri
hunts for the causes of her success,
and re-elects her old officers. We

could and would grow rich. Our
