ing the majority Of the Judges. The result
was that the will of legal voters was al
most always oyertopped by the votes OF
men who had no right to a voice In the
matter. The Registration law is good
thing for naturalized voters, because when
they register the date and place OF issuing
of their papers is taken down, and this
saves them the annoyance Of challenge on
election day. Pure elections are what IS
needed, and any law that will insure them
will be welcomed by the people.

the money for his benefit, but upon retir-

Tnesday is election day, and with the reg

lot law in vogue all over the State, Ohio

lSnoyvn. In Steubenville in the last two or
three years the people have found the be,
nefcent fruits of pure elections guaranteed
by the registration law so satisfactory that
the added guarantee given by the ballot
law of q purer election still will overoai-
ance the regret at the extra cost. Then
when il is considered that good porton

satisfaction will become greater. The pur-

for they are constructed in such manner
that the same ones can oe used over again
The plan OF having four judges OF election;
equally divided politically, has been found
to be good one, for under the law now In
force they are selected more Tor their nj

obtaining fairness in making decisions than
because they are bitter partisans OF either

Flaming Orator Cat meeting of Re organizers of Society)-''Comrades, the day of eapitalistic oppression is drawing to close! Our day is coming! The time is at hand when we shall not have to work Etremendious applause], when we shall ride in the carriages of our oppressors Iuproarious cheeringl and enjoy the luxu- ries they have monopolized. We shall use their china and silver tableware, their costly parlors and drawing rooms, their rare old wines and liquors Eappalling out break of enthusiasm their caskets of jew els, their ivory combs and gold backed hair brushes"

HUMAN INsTINoT.-So powerful is hu- man instinct that some of it's suggestions become embodied in social and household customs. The people know and feel that at the beginning of the spring season the system needs an alternative and purify ing tonic and stimulant. In all parts of the country it is the custom for the house. wife to dose her brood with sassafras tea. Among the simple remedies that our an- cestors employed this decoction has con- tinued to hold it's own. The demand for for spring alternative and tonic, however, is filled more efficaciously by s. s. s., which is itself as simple as simple as na- ture's remedial medicine should be. It purifies the blood, cleanses and strength ems the system, and prepares the human machine to stand the wear and tear of the summer months.

necessity or luxury, with very little labor; grapes or figs, apples or potatoes; land to be had for the asking; water for irrigation accessible on every hand; plenty of pasture room; no crowding. A quarter of a section of such soil and climate within forty miles of New York city woull be worth millions. Contrast such a lanl with the bleak hills about Boston. where half the year is spent in a struggle to provil, for the other half. Yet we were all anxious to get away. Our heaven wts not at Red Mountain. Fortunes could not be digged there. We spent time aal strength in a scramble for few ouac2s of yellow metal, while in the sprin, time the wales and hillsides covered with flowers argued in vain that they had the greatest rewards for our picks and shovels. But none listened. We groveled ill the mud and stones of the oft worked bank. Yearly it respond ed less anl less to our labors. One by one the ''old timers" left.
 The boarding house of Dutch Bill at the farther end of the Bar long stood empty, and the meek eyed and subtle Chinaman stole from it's sides board after board; the sides skinned off, they took joist after joist from the framework None ever saw them so doing. Thus silently and mysteriously, like melting snowbank, the great ramshackle board ing house disappeared, until naught was left save the chimney. And that also vanished brick by brick. All of which material entered into the composition and construction of that irregularly built, smoke tanned conglomerate of Chinese huts clustered near the Keen Fam castle.
 ''Old Grizzly" McFarlane went away. So did Bloody Bill. So the Bars popula- tion dwindled. Fewer travellers, dotlilze. were seen climbing the steep trail OCT Red mountain. Miller, the Chinese Camp news agent, who, with mail bags well filled with the New York papers, had for years cantered from Red mountain to Morgan's Bar, emptying his sack as he went at the rate of fifty and twenty five cents per sheet, paid the Bar his last visit and closed out the newspaper business there forever. Then the county supervisors abolished it as an election precinct, and its name no longer figured in the returns. No more after the vote was polled and the result known did the active and ambitious partisan mount his horse and gallop over the mountain to Sonora, the county seat, twenty miles away, to deliver the official count, signed sealed and attested by the local Red mountain election inspectors. Finally the Bar dwindled to Thompson, Keen Fam and his Mongolian band. Then Thompson left. Keen Fam grieved al losing his friend and protector. He came on the eve of departure to the dis. mantled store. Tears were in his eyes He presented Thompson with basket ot tea and silver half dollar, and bade him farewell ill incoherent and intrans latable words of lamenting polyglot English. PRENTICE MULFoRD.
