GORDON LOCALS.

GLOW are we going To get seed and tecd' is
the most common question asked by many of
the farmers just now. Would it not be wise
for us to change our former plans, accommodate
ourselves to the existing circumstances and
plant corn?
And in preparing for this corn crop, we must
plow deeper than heretofore, and if cultivation
is commenced Immediately after planting and
iudiciously conducted l have no fears ofgetting
a fair crop, and no mortgage to pay on the seed
used. Farmers need not be discouraged at the
outlook.
There is more moisture in the ground than at
this time last year. Our prairies are as yet I'm
burned and the slow remains where 1t fell
The artesian wells, with their artificial lakes
yet too few in numbcr-have their influence
on the atmosphere and it is in ourfayor. Then
the mountains to the west of us are full of
snow and this is very favorable to spring and
summer rainfalls.
Fer one l am determined to so diversity and
arrange my planting us to avoid a mortgage ON
the growing crop eitherfor seed or insurance.
Itake the chances.
MrE Colby and NJ p Dunn just across the line
of our township, i'll Aurora county. will sell
their property at auction soon. and try their
fortunes elsewhere.
Father Morse is spending the winter with the
family OF L. II. Harrison in Blaine township.
Supt. Binford and family have been visiting
for several days inthis and ANNA townships.
Mr. A Bywatcr has about concluded to rein
vest in some Dakota dirt and is looking for IA
good farm for sale at a bargain. We hope he
may succeed and permanently locate again.
The school in our township presided over
by Miss Eta Allyn, gave an exhibition and
supper on the evening of the Dist. We hear
much said in praise of the exercises of the
evening; also that about 30 were present, in
Guiding old Father" Kieser, who thereby
celebrated his 10th birthday. This is a move
in the right direction and for one we wish other
teachers would follow. If this enterprising
school should have another similar gathering
during the term may ! be there to see."i

Tanth ward Rofurna.

The counting OF the votes in the Tenth
ward, Twenty ffth district, has not yet
been completed, but it will be finished
this afternoon. The cause Of the delay is
supposed to be the large vote polled and
the 5ifference in the tickets. Crowds
surrounded the polls and deputy narshalf
were kept there, supposed TO keep order,
but really, 1t is rumored. to incite the
people to riot. Henry O. Conrad was
present when Thomas F BaYard came up
and asked him why the vote
had not been counted out Mr.
Conrad replied that he did not know but
as Sheriff Allan was present he was di
rected to find ont the reason for the de
lay Messrs. Bsyard, Allen and Conrad
vent into the room and came
out in few minutes and al
Mr.. Bayard's request. NJ. Conrad told
the people that the supervisors were
working very hard and that there wa:
no need OF apprehension and asked them
to disperse. The Democrats first asked
that the marshgls be taken away from
the polls. Mr. Conrad took the mar.
shals away and the people quietly dis
persed at that time.

REPUBLICAN FRAUD.

The WAY In Which Majority Was
.sCooksd Up" For the Republicans.
In the Twelfth election district, Fifth
ward, Ninth and DUPONT streets, the
Republican party is said to have per-
petrated the greatest frauds ever seen
in this city. The returns from this dis
trict show the following results: John
w. Causey, 1877; II. P. Cannon, 1924; Daniel
Green, 2; total, 453.
This shows q majority COR the Repub-
licans in this district of 81, but this was
reached by fraud as the following re-
marks appened to Supervisor j u. G.
Forkum 8 report show:
William Pyle, Charles w Rowland
and Harry M Taylor when they came to
the polls to vote, did not produce any
tax receipts, nor were any of them re-
ceived which we're stamped.
NJ M Charles, Samuel Ocheltree. Ben
jamin 7. Cause and Joseph L. Shepherd
did not produce receipts, nor were they
stamped, but (Councilman) 3. r. Cotton.

Twenty ballots we're received by the
inspector, Republican, after the min
ority Judge had challenged them on
FRAUDULENT tax receipts.
WO OhIobot buDoc VI " H. nn0 Il a
Humphreys, were received on ONE tax re
ceipt.
Six voters were challenged on naturah
zation papers, and Inspector f. B. Cotton
REFUSED TO accept their ballots although
Joseph L. Carpen ,Jr., took the pa pe-s be
fore q. s. Judge Leonard f.. Wsles and
had their genuineness certified to. ColtoI
continued to refuse them too, after they
had been pronounced correct.
This election was conducted entirely IL
the interests of the Republican party
much to the detriment of the election Of
the Democratic nominees, against th'
protest of the minority"
This was signed and will be delivered
to the Department of Elections.
This fraud must have been anticipated
by United States Marshal Henry G
Mahaffy, as he sent twenty nine deput,
marshals with his son to that district {,
escort the ballot box aud Republican
inspectors from Ninth and Dupont {,
Eighth and Brcome, a distance Of tw
squares Besides all these deputies ther
were several special 'city coilstables.
