d VOTING.

1t may be taken for granted that.
every citizen has selected the men for
whom he proposes to vote. There may
be some voters who have not yet had
experience with the Australian ballot
system, however, who may not be quite
sure that they understand how to mark
their ballots. Fortheir benefit we quote
City Attorney Smiths clear explana-
ton Of the process:
s'In voting for a candidate for any
Office. the law allows to each voter only
one vote for any one Office, and the voter
should mark a cross thus: X, opposite
the name Of the candidate for whom he
wishes to vote for each office to be filled.
In voting on the bond question erase
that proposition for which you do not
desire to vote and leave your vote on the
bond question unmarked. II you wish
to vote For the Bonds erase the line
Against the Bonds, and vice versa. 1t
a part of a ballot is correctly voted and
a part not correctly voted, only that
part correctly voted should be counted
by the judges"
Thus, if you vote the democratic city
ticket, like the sensible man that you
are. your ballot will be marked this way:

sound business proposition. Notice that

Worlds fair officials are securing without cost
great deal OF necessary and valuable ma
chinery for use during the fair, according to a
New York Tribune special They are getting it
because the big firms engaged in the manufact-
ure OF machinery appear to realize that it will

been engaged recently in securing and INSTALL
ing the machinery necessary to furnish the

nished without cost, inasmuch they will be
installed as exhibits In this way an unex-
pected saving of several hundred thousand dol
lars will be realized.
The state of Washington will have a unique
world b fair state building. II will be built
almost entirely Of materials from the state of
Washington, and will form an illustration of
the building materials and industries peculiar

dition to what may be contributed, the state

give way, the doctor told her parents to let her
have it.
After she had finished her hideous meal she
threw herself on the floor and fell into deep

A SKELETON IN A TREE.

Strange Discovery Made by woodchoppers
In Indian Territory.
A strange discovery was made by some wood
choppers who were working in the hills west of
Tushomingo, Ind. Ter, q few weeks ago. They
have brought to that town skeleton and the
section Of q tree to bear evidence Of the truth
fulness Of their story
They cut down large oak tree which was
partly hollow, but the entrance to the hollow
portion had almost entirely grown over, leav-
ins only narrow slit in the outside Of the
tree. When the tree fell to the ground il was
split open by the shock. and there, lying in the
center Of the broken wood, was the skeleton OF
Q man.
On one ankle Of the skeleton was q band OF
iron, attached to piece Of chain, evidently
from the msnacics which had been upon his per-
son VIXEN he sought refuge in the hollow tree.
From all indications the skeleton had been en-
tombed for at least 3 hundred years, for the tree
had grown sufficiently to almost cover the open
ing through which he had crawled to hide.
Two OF the ribs we're broken in such q man.
ner as to lead to the belief IL at IL done with
bullet The superstition is that the man had
escaped from some prison, and had fed with a
portion OF bis manacles; and, being shot and
hard pressed, had sought refuge in the tree,
and there died. As there 10 no record kept OF
the past criminal history Of the nation, his
identity will ever remain a mystery.
One peculiarly abont the skeleton Il that the
tree had grown partly around one of the legs,
and 10 was solidly encased In the wood. This
specimen Is now on exhibition ct the court
