Who are to Furnish the Ballot
Boxes?

Who are to Furnish the Ballot
Boxes?
The Board of Elections of each vot-
ing precinct in the county, the ballot
law says, must furnish the boxes. We
quote from the law as follows:
"Sec. 10. 1t shall be the duty of the
precint boards of election to furnish all
the ballot boxes Necessary in their re-
spective precints, and the precinct
election boards shall take into their
care and custody all the ballot boxes
and equipments necessary at their re
speetive polling places, and preserve
them until demanded by the County
Board and they shall have custody of
the same, and direct in whose custody
they shall remain after an election.
The trustees of townships and city or
village councils shall turn over to the
precinct election board the ballot
boxes they now have in their posses
siOn."
This covers the whole of the section
applicable to Henry county. Each
precinct board will use the old ballot
boxes and supply new ones when
necessary.

THE old soldiers all talk geat deal
about their sacred duty in supporting
their old comrades. Hon. John Ryan
and John w. Canary, the Democratic
candidates for State Senators in this
district, are both old soldiers, while
neither of their opponents on the Re-
publican ticket were ever in the army.
The vote this fall will show whether
the Republican soldiers are honest in
their professions of the sacred duty of
supporting old comrades Findlay

eggs, and Mr.. Bush did not try TO in
terfere with him. When the skunk
had gone to bed that night Mr.. Bush
set trap in the nest under the hay.
II was empty in the morning, but on
the following morning Mr.. Bush found
the skunk fast in it.
The cute old egg and chicken thief
begged like good fellow to be releas-
ed, and he did not once offer to use his
natural weapon on Mr.. Bush. Seeing
that the skunk was not inclined to be
mean, the farmer stuck a pitchfork in
the chain and carried trap and animal
out in the meadow, where he ended
the old skunk's life with bullet.

a pet cur belonging to a neighbor,

stripped it of $3.50 diamond ring,

and took it home. She recovered the
ring, but the dog did not recover from

A WAR IN MEXICO.

With the Troops.

The Yaqui Indians Engaged in . Contest
With the Troops.
Unknown to the outside world, bloody war
Is raging in the mountains of Mexico. Such is
the statement Of Liberato and Toranato Marcor,
young Mexican engineers who are in Chicago.
The war is no: one of revolution, but is one of
even greater destruction, and news of it has
hitherto been suppressed, it is said, because Of
possible Bad effects upon intending immigrs-
ton.
1t has generally been supposed that with the
death of the great leader of the Yaqui Indians,
King Cajoeme, the Indian wars in old Mexico
had ceased. Such is by no means the case, ~
said Senior Marcor. Thousands Of them are
strongly intrenched in the impossible mount
aims Of northwestern Mexico, and the troops
which are stationed at all the towns along tho
laqul river are powerless to reach them or to
protect the lives and property of the citizens,
In bands Of fifty or more the Yaquis daily make
unexI ected descents upon the helpless people
OF the plains.
Fierce battles with the troops follow. but be-
fore the latter can accomplish anything the saw
ages escape to their mountain hiding places
with renewed supplies of food and ammunition,
and generally carrying with them too, num-
Der OF helpless women whose fate is never
known, it being impossible to reach them as
they are 80 fortified as to form an entirely dis
unct country. No one knows Of the life thew
lead, nor is the name Of their new king known,
This condition Of thngsis said to be daily grow
ing more alarming"

An Important Decision I'm the Case of an
Andersonvilie Prisoner.
The commissioner OF pensions has been re-
quested by Assistant Secretary Bussey to re-
open the case Of the application Of the mother
OF William IL Group for pension and to settle
it on its merits. The soldier died in Anderson
vile prison in August, 1854, and the mothers
claim for pension was rejected by the pens,on
Office on the ground that the soldier was not in
line OF duty when captured. Az the
time the soldier was captured he was un-
dergoing a punishment for desertion.
Assuming that his punishment was q just ono

enemy and therefore his death at Anderson
vile was not by reason of the misconduct Of
the soldier, nor by reason of the sentence
which SO severely punished him. His capture
is not traceable to his misconduct, was not Q
sequence OF II, was not caused by it. He then
argues that the department, whatever the ius-
tice OF the mans sentence, can hold that his
death at Andersonville was in the line of duty.
1t was IN the line Of duty, he saws. because
his capture was not due to his departure from
the line OF duty. He died because he went 20
Andersonville. His commandant who was re-
sponslble Tor the execution of his sentence by
that act OF surrender released him. ended his
punishment, placed him on the same footing ss
his comrades and transferred him from O con-
Wet to a prisoner of war. This NAV have been
done unwilhngly, as many things in war but
IL was done. He was no longer under arrest
no longer undergoing imprisonment and NO
Longer under control of those charged with the
execution OF his sentence. Ii was their scS

Messrs. William E. Peirce and Eugene Smith.
who figured in the Police Court as defendants
in the watch club case, as heretofore published
in The STAR, went before Judge Miller this
morning vita their counsel, Mr.. Beall, formerly
of Rockville, to answera charge OF selling tick
cts in connection with the clubs, it being al
legged that the drawing of watches in the man
ner pursued by the clubs was q violation of the
lottery law.
Counsel spoke of the ruling of the court in
the case Tuesday and the statement used in
that trial was again submitted.
Tie judge renewed his remarks, holding
that tho defendants had committed q technical
violation OF the law. AT the same time"
said the judge. Il don't think there was an in
territorial violation of the law
The defendants, he said, had come in and
were willing to submit aud he would therefore
give q judgment OF guilty, but would not i'm
pose amy penalty, as the object of the prosecu-
ton was to have the question OF law determined.
Counsel asked for instructions Is to what his
clients could do in cases where the clubs had
already been established, and he said his clients
wanted TO resume business tomorrow and keep
within the scope Of the courts decision.
Judge Miller said he preferred not to give
any advice, as counsel was fully able to prop
erly advise his clients. and he thought that il
they obeyed his instructions they would not
violate any law.
