In the new form all nominees of
one party are placed in the same
column. A cross (X) placed in the
square beneath the party name at
the top Of the ballot is all that Is
necessary if an elector wants to
vote a straight party ticket. If he
desires to vote for different party
candidates, a small square at the
right of each name will be found
wherein to mark the cross. The
space beneath each name is left for
Aames that do not appear on the

A Fine Art Exhibition.

The Stereopticon art exhibition and
lecture given at Willow Springs, on
the evening of the ID, by John G. Mar
tin and j. II. McManus, was extreme
ly interesting and instructive. The
many places of interest selected by
Mr.. Martin are from a soil everywhere
rich with buried history set thick with
the artistic relics of all eras, and the
air is never free from puissant mem
ories. Britain among the lands is as
Rome among the cities. The story Of
any one of her districts is as di0icult
to tell in brief as the story of any
Roman site, Rarely can we say, For
THIS reason is the SPOT of interest. ="
There are usually score of reasons,
dozen interests of successive date,
All the beautiful illustrations and
graphic description have been planned
the interest of artistic unity, dramatic
point and concentration.
Rev. Jas. II. McManus presented
some very fine views of Palestine. lie
has a perfect knowledge Of the views
presented, an easy, pleasing and
graphic style, and the Bible student
will find much to assist him in under
standing Palestine of Bible history.

served the children have escaped
diphtheria and other throat diseases.
There are people who laugh at and
ridicule this remedy and the belief
in its effects. But there may be
something in it worth rejecting up
on. A faithful pastor who goes
among his flock, say a school of
children, and calls down blessing
upon their healths, especially that
throat disease may not affect them,
but will do something more. He
will tell them what causes such dis
ease. He will tell them that impure
air and water and tainted food are
causes of throat diseases, and he
will explain how to know something
of their impurities. He will teach
them that foul mouth, from never
having its teeth scrubbed, and a
throat that is never gargled are rich
soil for catching germs of diph-
liberia or any other disease, and
that person who is negligen in
the particular of mouth cleanliness
is pretty sure to catch any disease
that is in his vicinity. Children
admonished by a person high in
their esteem become inspired to ac-
tion and prayer and blessing pro
mote activity. With this explana-
tion even an atheist may discover a
connecting link between prayer
and cure.-LancdSter Teller.
For glaring errors in the alleged
descriptions of Lancaster, Dodge
vile and Platteville-which towns
were recently purported to have
been "written up" in the Chicago
Herald-this section has never had
an equal. One statement in the
Lancaster comedy of errors is that
"Beeville, Platteyille and Potosi
were once prosperous places but are
towns only In name now" Who
ever heard of Beeville before?
Then they print cut of Sheriff
Burris that resembles our portly
official much less than it does "a pat
ent medicine cut labeled 'before
taking" Then they label a cut Of
a man apparently 80 years old, "Dr.
Mccoy" though no one in this
section ever heard that such
doctor lives or lived in Lancaster.
Next they print a cut of president
Elder Wheeler" of Dodgeville.
Know him? Then they locate the
latter city in Dodge county, and
follow the bald-headed statement by
asserting that Platteville is the
second town in Grant county,
though the census gives US first
place with almost double the popu-
lation of any other city therein.
Following this they divide the
number of our cigar factories by
two, which gives US two instead Of
four of them. The cuts of Platte
vile residents are very good and
the entire series of articles is well
written, but the errors, oh, my!-

SALlSBURY'S REPLY.

Contents Of the Premier's Note Cannot
Be Learned.
WASHINGTON, March 21.-It is impos-
sible to secure information regarding
the contents of the reply of Lord Sails
bury to the note from the government
of the 9Th instant. Probably not more
than half dozen are acquainted with
the terms of the reply and they are
maintaining an apparently lnvlolable
silence as to the subject. 1t is said this
is due to the direct request of the presi-
dent, who desires that the text or tenor
of the reply shall not become known
until it has been transmitted to con-
gress. When this will be done cannot
be stated, but the probability still re-
mains that it will go to congress very
soon.
While directly the contents cannot be
learned, some side lights are thrown
upon them which 30 far reveal the sub
stance of the communication, confirm
the view already expressed that it does
not materially alter the situation as it
existed previous to its receipt. 1t
was said by treasury official that the
long delayed instructions to the reve-
nue. cruisers are being formulated, now
that the reply from Lord Salisbury has
been received, and the intimation was
plainly given that they would direct
the commanders of the cutters to re-
pair to the sealing ground and protect
the seals.
Several officials were shown the
United Press cable stating that j. W.
Lowther, political secretary of the for
eign Office, had stated in commons that
negotiations were still pending on the
subject of renewing the modus vivendi.
They united in eaying that Mr.. Low

his remarks; that it was apparent that
until negotiations were ended they
might be said that they were proceed

Testimony in the Wheat Investigation
Case Nearly All In.

Testimony in the Wheat Investigation
Case Nearly All In.
ST. PAUL, March 19.-Except for the
evidence of a single witness and a tab
ulated statement of the price of grain
in the leading markets for series Of
years, both of which will be submitted
on Monday, the wheat investigation is
at an end, SO far as the taking of testi-
mony is concerned. The committee
will plan mode of considering the
evidence, and then will begin its digest.
The evidence of the day failed to es-
tablish the oft proclaimed assertion that
Frank Irons, of Minneapolis, makes the
prices of wheat for the entire North
west. In fact it showed that Mr.. Irons
is merely clerk for several elevator
companies, and that he does what most
other clerks do, as he is directed by his
employers. The most important wit
ness of the day was G. NJ. Amsden,
who made the astonishing dec
laration that if for period of four
specified years the elevator companies
had psid the farmers cent q bushel
more than they did for wheat they
would have done business at loss. He
said his company was selling its eleya-
tors as fast as they could get 81 cents
on the dollar on them.
The clesing hour of the session was
marked by little scene General Bar
rett had been badgering witnesses and
threshing out old straw until both COM
mittee and witness were weary, and
after he had been answered very tartly
and in two instances profanely by Mr..
Irons, the witness left the stand, and
Chairman Geissell declared to General
Barrett, in substance, that he had be-
come nuisance. The general charac-
terized the proceeding as an outrage.

At Stone River.

In the battle of Stone River, while our
men were waiting dismounted in jungle
of scrub oaks and dwarf cedars, from
which we expected the enemy every mo-
ment, brace of wild turkeys, SO paralyzed
with fright that they were incapable of
flying, ran down between the contending
lines, but much as they were desired not a
shot was fired at the poor creatures.
On this part of the field we were so close
to the enemy that we could hear them
talking, and the clicking of the rife ham
mers as they were raised to put on caps
were distinctly audible. Of course this
was only during brief cessation in the
storm of death.
Once more the battle tide swept down to
the Jungle and the birds rose up and flew
about as if bewildered.
Again the storm lulled, and we heard
yell and laugh coming from the direction
of the men in gray.
The cause of this out of place merriment
was soon evident to the men in blue, who
saw rabbit with it's bit of a white tail
turned over it's back fairly flying south be-
tween the lines.
While bunny was still in sight a stem
torian voice called out from the Confeder-
ate side:
$50 it, cottontail! If it wasn't for my
doggone pride I'd be keepin you comp'nyl"
And as he had expressed the feelings of
more than one man on either side, shout
of approving laughter went up that for
the moment drowned out the ceaseless
roar of the battle.

THS BOILER EXPLODED.

Five Men Killed snd Several Injured at
ST. Louis.
ST. LOUIS, March 2l.-Five men were
killed, one fatally injured and three
slightly injured by the explosion Of a
boiler at the Laclede firebrick works,
Cheltenham. The explosion occurred
in the main building of the works. The
boiler was located at the south side of
the building and covered by shed.
Seven men were at work on the roof of
the shed, repairing the whistle at the
time. Frank Seger, the fireman, was
blown into creek thirty feet distant,
and was fshed out some moments
later. He was badly burned and
scalded, but still alive. The five men
men who were killed were all terribly
mangled.
The noise of the explosion attracted
people for miles and so many gathered
at the works that the police had diff
Guilty in keeping the crowd back, and
the works had to he shut down for the
day. The shock was felt for blocks
away, while the report could be heard
for miles.

CALL 1T A COMBINE.

The Minnesota Alliance Will Prosecute
Elevators and Railroad Companies.
ST. PAUL, March 18.-A brief morn

Attorney W. w. Erwin was present,
and, after conference with the COM
mittee, resolution was adopted con-
