the Supervisors of Election
"The Republican party of A A. coun-
ty, hereby through its County Central
Committee, protest against the illegal ac-
ton of the Board of Supervisors of Elec-

election in defiance Of the express pro-
visions of the election law, which pro-
vides that at least one judge. one ballot
clerk, and one recording clerk, shall be
from the ranks OF the opposite political
party from themselves, and thereby pro-
vide the means required by law as a
guarantee to the public of fair election
and an honest count, which Is the object

They also serve notice upon the
Supervisors of Election that IL after
receiving this protest they shall
fail t. remedy the evil complained of
that legal proceedings will be instituted
to remedy the wrong and that they and
others who shall fail to perform their
q titles as required by law, or who shall
perform those duties In an illegal man
ner will be criminallY prosecuted. Be-
lieving that the law intends to guarantee
fair and impartial elections, we point out
the fact that the character Of some of
the judges selected would indicate that
attempts will be made to carry this cleo
ton by fraud, and we hereby urge upon
you, the Supervisors of Election, as in
duty bound to take such action, and APP
point such judges and clerks as will re
move the impression from the minds of
the community and at the same time
protect yourselves from the unpleasant
consequences that win certainly result
to yourselves If fraud shall be practiced.

Surely VIII be Observation-Disclosures
That She Carried Too Big q Cargo OF
GrOg.
Special Telegram to tie Register.
WASHINGTON, October leone of
the most varied and extensive jobs OF
investigating in the history OF Congress
has already been mapped out for that
body when 1t meets in December. Still
another investigation may, however, be
added to the list by the wreck Of the
government vessel Despatch, which has
for years been known as ''the Presi-
dents Yacht" Had the wreck occurred
at a time further removed from the
meeting of Congress, the chances are
that nothing might have been done
about it in Congress. But now there
will have to be court OF inquiry into
the loss of the vessel, a cOurt-martial
will probably follow, unless it is clearly
shown that there was no negligence
or dereliction OF duty, and this Will
keep the subject fresh until Congress
actually meets.
With an ordinary Congress the naval
people might be able, by the remarkable
social pull" they have on Congressman,
to bury the subject. The new Congress
will have in It's lower branch a large
number of men whom the naval people
do not know and can have no hold on, and
the inclination of those new members
will be TO investigate the circumstances
by which a vessel which cost hundreds
of thousands of dollars could meet the
fate which the Despatch met.
Certainly the new members will want
to investigate if they hear the talk
now floating about Washington. "The
Despatch always did carry too big a
cargo of whisky" said one naval man
the other night, in discussing the
wreck. And this is the general
drift of the talk about the
Despatch; this is the reputation which
she has had for years, and it all grew
out of the uses to which the vessel has
been put. She has been employed as
pleasure craft by Presidents and other
high government dignitaries, and If her
saloon walls could talk they could tell
no end of merry tales Of high old times
enjoyed within them by men whose
names are known the world over.
II memory is not at fault, President
Cleveland never used the Despatch dur
ing his administration; but in the jolly
days of Arthur, many were the lively
parties that went down the river on her
and glorious are the tales still told OF
the hilarity that prevailed by those
who made up the merry companies
which the pleasure-loving President
loved to gather about him.

A DYNAMITE CARTRIDGE
Was to Have Been Used in Destroying the
Court House at Washington, Ind But 1T
Did Not Arrive In Time.

Was to Have Been Used In destroying the
Court House at washington, Ind But 1t
Did Not Arrive in Time.
WASHINGTON, IND, October 16.-The
alleged shortage of County Auditor
Lavalle and the burning OF the county
records are still the subject OF much
talk.
Nobody knows or can give any idea
as to the amount of shortage. experts
have been examining such OF the
records as were not destroyed, and
enough testimony, 1t is said. was found
to show that Lavalle had been very free
with the school fund.
There ought to be S97, 000represented
by mortgages on property twice its value.
Two thousand dollars in cash is left OF
the fund in the Treasurer's office, but
sos. 600 is not accounted for to the salts
faction of the examiners. Some OF the
membranes have been paid to Lavalle
and are unreleased on the records.
Heavy sums, it is aaid, have been traced
directly to Lavalle himself. 1t is doubt
full IL all the truth will ever be known.
At the freight depot WOODEN box
shipped by express to James @. Lavalle,
Washington, Ind, from Chicago, was
opened, and found to contain dyna-
mite cartridge six or eight inches long
and FIVE inches in diameter. 1t was
loaded and fuse attached, all ready
for use. The box was received here
since the fire. Lavalle, it is said, first
intended to blow up the Court House,
records and all. Hardin and Ledger
wood say that was the case.
The cartridge did not get here in time
and kerosene was used in Its stead.
Lavelle refused to receipt for the box
when it came, claiming it was an in
fernal machine sent by personal and
political enemies intended for his de-
struction. He claims he is the victim
of a plot. The men who shipped the
dynamite cartridge to Lavalle he sent
it on his risk, and that the letter of re-
quest dated October 5, will reach here
today

SOme bodices are in the form of Spen-
Ger waists, with plaitings arranged In
different manners TO suit the wearers.
Some have belts of the same or belts OF
velvet or ribbon, witd or without frillS
below the belt. Some are made in fig
ured goods of light color, and others Of
plain red, pale blue, lilac or white Chi
ma silk. Perhaps the most popular are
the simple white or pale blue blouse
waists, made with a turn down collar
and a double plated ruttle down the
front. These are pretty and dressy
when worn in the street beneath
black REFER jacket and a fat sailor hat.
OF course they will hardly do for cere-
monious visits or carriage, but for a
shopping or ordinary dress they are quite
sedate enough. The REFER jacket is left
open, and the soft silk ruffs form sort
OF vest, and the beauty of these waists
Is that they do not soil easily, and II
they do can be cleaned perfectly. The
sleeves should be either bishop shape,
with band az the wrist, or the upper
partpuffed after the style shown in the
illustration.
There are so many ways OF trimming
go astray. Some have velvet yOkes and
some have velvet pointed girdles, or vel
vet peasant waists reaching 10 the arm
pits, but these last are usually made so
that they can be worn with any costume.
Few young ladies lace much now, and
nearly all women who have any think
Ing apparatus Of their own are begin
ming 90 see that COTsets should be used
md not abused. Twenty-tonr inches
around the bottom of the waist Is the
medium standard now.
Half the tight lacing that has been so
much talked Of and scOlded about mas
been brought about through the sense
less fashion Illustrations. To make
striking picture the foreign so called
artists made an impossibly long waist,
smaller around than the arms or neck,
and those who did not want TO De outoG
fashion tried to follow blindly. But now
we may all have natural waists and
be comfortable.
Before left of speaking of fashion
able bodices / should have spoken OF
the second illustration, which shows a
very dainty idea in the same style,
which is adapted better to street wear.
The dress is Of wool crepOn in dark
Russian green. The skirt is OF the
campanella form, with plaits in the
back. Across the front are nine rows
OF embroidered silk bands in Persian
colors. The bodice is made OF faille In
the same shade, gathered full

down In q rufle. A Swiss bodice Of
creoon has an outline trimming to match
that on the skirt. The sleeves are OF
crepon. The Swiss bodice is adjust
able, and the skirt can be worn in the
house with the faille only, and in the
street with the other.
Swiss bodices are undeniably dressy
and they can be made to cover a multi
tude Of sins, such as stretched seams,
worn out buttonholes and soiled waists.
Made Of black velvet they are suitable
for and kind Of gown from tulle ball
dress 10 a cashmere house gown. Some
of them are made with adjustable
braces Of ribbon 10 match the skirt or
possibly OF piece Of the same material.
Some Of them have the tops cut out in
turret shape, others notched, but the
majority are much like the crepon bod
ice in the illustration. Any variation
can be made that seems expedient or
tasteful. OLIVE HARPER
