At the coming election voters
should bear in mind the fact that
by law the county must provide the
ballots. A stamped ballot win be
furnished each voter by an election
officer appointed by the commission
ers. The ballot will have an official
stamp on the back. and no other
ticket can be voted but the one so
received and stamped.
furthermore, the official ballot
given TO the voter must not be
scratched, as has been the case at
former elections. A small black
square is placed opposite and TO the
right of each name on the ballot,
and whichever name the voter wishes
to vote for. he must make plain
cross in the square opposite the
name. The cross lie the only indi-
cation given of the voters preference,
and no names will be counted on
any ticket but those having cross
opposite thereto. There will be a
full ticket on the ballot for each
political party in the field, and each
ticket will be similar in all respects
save and except the names OF can
didates. There will also be q blank
ticket ON the ballot, TO the right Of
the printed tickets, and any voter
who desires to cast his vote for some
person not among the regular print
ed nominees of either party, can
write his choice in this blank ticket.
All the Offices to be filled will be on
the blank ballot, but blank lines
will follow the offices in each case for
the voter to write his choice thereon.
Ii is well that voters should inform
themselves as to the new method VI
voting in time, so rs to be sure that
they will not lose their votes, and
that they may be thoroughly pre-
pared to fill out their ballots in secre
within the ten minutes allotted BY
law for them to do so.-Bellevu

GLENN's FERRY.

The Riverside town is still busy
and busting. The forces in the
shops are increasing and the hours
of toll have come back to the old
standard. Since Michael Carrigan
assumed charge of the locomotive
and car department as local master
mechanic, many very satisfactory
changes have occurred. Four men
have been promoted to firemen's po-
sitions. among them the irrepressi-
BILE Jack O'Brien, late assistant
hostler, and w. G. Johnston, for the
past two years night caller. Pat
Callahan, doorkeeper of the last
State Senate, after an exile Of nearly
two years on the Pacific coast, is
back again in the shop looking after
hot boxes. James Mullanev jr. is

promoted, and Joe Plunkett dis
charges the same duty in broad day
light.
The railroad Republicans were
represented in the county conven-
tion by engineer VIM. Baxter.
The school is running with nearly
eighty pupils. To accommodate the
increased attendance an addition to
the school house has been built al
most as large as the original build
ing. The house as improved is an

THE REPUBLICAN TICKET.
Our Republican friends met i

Our Republican friends met In
county convention at Glenn's Ferry
last Wednesday and nominated q
full ticket, some Of whom are really

just odium attached to the Repub-
lican party generally.
The only contest Of any note was
for the nomination of sheriff. On
the first ballot John Mitchell Of Mt.
Home received II votes, Mike Hayes
of Rocky Bar 8, Ward Of Glenn's

same. On the third ballot Mitchell
got ~, Hayes 5, Smith 5. Ward !,

inee for sheriff.

nobly and captured nearly all OF
the principal places upon the ticket,
however, generously giving Glenn's
Ferry a candidate for county COM
missioner. Following are the names

SAVED his BOY.
DR.. AmiCk Cures Another Doc
tors Consuimptive Son.
[Froni the Cincinnati Post. ]

The efficiency OF Dr. Amick's new treatment
for consumption has again been demonstrated.
doctors SOU at Sardinia, Ohio, has been
saved from premature death.
About month ago Dr. ID. w. Thomp son of
Sardinia, Ohio, called upon DR.. Amck at Gin
cinnat, and stated that he had a son, d. H.
Thompson, who was in the last stages of con.
sumption. He had tried all the standard rem
dies, but to no avail The young man was so
weak that he could not leave his bed Violent
hemorrhages had occurred, and his fever
showed temperature of 10i.
DR.. Thompson had lost three children from
hasty consumption, and he was in despair over
his remaining son.
DR.. Thompson received the medicine handed
him by DR.. Amick and undertook the treat
ment of his son anew.
One bright morning this week the doorbell
at Dr. Amick's office rang vigorously. and in
response sprightly- looking young man was
ushered into the Doctors presence.
Z" / am DR.. Thompson's son, of Sardinia" he
said.
To state that DR.. Amick was amazed would
hardly exaggerate the facts.
In few moments the patient explained his
presence. He declared that he had been greatly
benefited by the new treatment and was
almost WELL His hemorrhages and his cough
had departed, and he had gained 10 pounds in
flesh.
Or. Amick telephoned the Post to investi-
gate the case. A reporter was at once sent to
sec the young man, and from him the foregoing
facts were elected.
The case is remarkable one, and will add to
the reputation which Dr. Amcks new treat.
ment for consumption is acquiring. Many reg
uar physicians are using the Amick treatment.
Persons suffering with these diseases should at
once apply for the chemical treatment; relief
is certain to be the result.

Can't. Rorup in Trouble.

Capt. Henry ID. Borup, of the Ordnance De-
partment, U. S. Army. has been accused by NJ
Grenier of completely in furnishing the Italian
and German Governments with plans of the
French Notifications, armament, and strength
of the different garrsons Capt Borup claims
that Greniers charges are gross calumnies, and
he is anxious to be confronted by his accuser,
and says the inquiry he will demand will not
fail to establish his innocence. The case cx-
cites the greatest interest in Paris and the
newspapers are extremely bitter against Capt.
Borup. The fact that the Captain is on init
mate terms with the German and Italian Mill
tary attaches in Paris gives color to the charges
that he has been giving information concerning
the French defenses TO both Germany and Italy.
Capt. Borup has lately been busy sending re.
ports to Washington, which are supposed to be
connected with the charges made against him
by NJ. Grener.
Capt Borup entered the Military Academy
from Minnesota (his native State) in July, 1872,
and appointed Second Lieutenant of
the I'd Art. in 1876; promoted First Lieutenant
of Ordnance in September, 1879. and Captain in
June. 1890. He has been Military Attache of
the United States Legation at Paris France,
for several years, and Army people in Washing.

the charges made against him are unfounded.

Trouble at Chickamauga Park.

The old Chickamauga battlefield is the scene
OF a disturbance which may end in bloodshed.
Contractors for work on the Chickamauga Ma
tional Park agreed to furnish unskilled labor
at $l.10 a day, and recruited negroes from Ala
bama, whom they agreed to pay $l.00 day
They built shantes for the negroes, and rented
them at large gain, and compelled the labor
ers to buy their provisions from the commits
sary. Not satisfied with their profits, the con-
tractors informed the men that only 80 cents
day woud be paid.
Half the negroes quit work, but the more
ignorant and those who were indebted to the
commissary remained. The white men en-.
ployed took up the cause of the strikers, and
threatened violence to the men at work, and
the contractors purchased in this city a lot of
Winchester rifles aud distributed them among
the men who remained at work and armed
their foreman. Gen. Stewart, directly in charge
of the improvements in the park, is angry at
the treatment of the negroes, but has prevented
so far an attack on the 80.cent men.

Famous Mt. Etna,

The train in skirting but the western side OF
the volcano rambles necessarily through tun-
nels and by entertainments of lava. From the
fact that the other sides bear no less testimony
to frequent devastations, one gathers an idea of
the extent of those eruptions whose unbroken
record is carried down from prehistoric times
to our day.
The average of eruptions in this century alone
is one every four or five years. Fortunately
Etna has had long periods of rest following its
active moods. Noticing that these periods
alternate with those of Vesuvius scientists have
inferred that there is subterranean connection
between the two, and that they belong to
group of which the Lipari Islands are a minor
part, and the little Island of Pantelaria the
last outlying summit.
All poets of antiquity were familiar with
Etna. Curiously enough, Homer does not
allude to its volcanic character except in his
episode of the blinded Cycops Polyphemus
hurting rocks after Ulysses, which is but a
transparent myth of the molten lava rolling
down the mountain with such impetus as to
leap from the high ifs far out into the sea,
forming those inlets still known to the Sicilians
as the seven "Sco1lie del Ciclopi." The war of
the Titans against Jupiter, the forge of Vulcan,
allude 10 doubt to eruptive phenomena utterly
inexplicable, that by their very suddenness aud
magnitude seemed not less than supernatural
to the pantheistic Imagination of the Greeks.
Etna, placed in Magma Grecia. the oldest
historical ground of Europe, and at the doors of
Athens and Rome has been visited and de-
seribed by many eminent personages OF classic
antiquity: Pindar, who narrates the eruption
of B. c. 476; Aristotle that of b. C. $40; Pythag-
oras, Sappho, Thucidides; Empedocles who
found voluntary death in It's crater; Cicero,
Catullus, Virgil, Ovid, Diodorus, Strabo, Sue
tonius, etc., and through them even the memory
of a violent outbreak in prehistoric times, that
made the Sicanians abandon the district, has
come down to US.

A Mad Dog Epidemic.

The residents OF Jackson County, Mo-, are
very much excited over the prevalence of a
mad dog epidemic, travelling being especially
dangerous at the present time. One farmer
had an experience which he will not soon for
get. While going through field he noticed a
dog coming toward him apparently in normal
condition. He picked up stick and threw it
at the dog, which Immediately sprang at him
in most vicious manner. Twice he threw
the dog from him, noticing the second time
that the animal was frothing at the mouth.
For the third time the animal jumped at him,
and he again caught it by the neck and choked
it until it was unconscious, then throwing it to
the ground and stamping the life ont of it.
Another dog chased some school children, and
they were only saved by a shot fired by man
who was following the dog.

WORLDS FAIR NOTES.
Probably to be Open on Sunday-The Gre
Ru;il;uOc

Probably to be Open on Sunday-The Great
Buildings.
Labor asks that the Worlds Fair be open on
Sundays. The labor organizations of the coun-
try are fast putting themselves on record to
that effect, and there can be no question that
the working masses are practically unanimous
in favor of an open Fair. The resolutions by
which. as a rule, the labor organizations ex-
press their sentiments on tho question. all take
the ground that the Exposition will be, in the
broadcast and highest sense, great educator,
improving, developing and elevatng the higher
faculties; that some Of the most important
lessons it will teach will be in the line of in
dustrial art and mechanical science, and there
fore of special value to workingmen; and that
it should be their privilege as it is their right
to examine and study the best results of the
work and skill of their brother toilers. on the
only day when their time Is their own. Many
of the resolutions declare that an open Fair,
much moro than closed one, would be pro-
motive of morality.
Mrs Potter Palmer, President of the Board
Of Lady Managers, who has recently returned
from European tour, reports that the women
of Europe, particularly of Great Britain, France
Germany and Belgium, are deeply interested
in the Worlds Fair aud are working hard to
make the woman's branch of it splendid sue
cess. The women's commissions, which have
been formed in these countries, include many
of the most distinguished and honored women
known at court. The outlook is most pronis
ing for great exhibit Of wofnan's industrial
educational and charitable work, from both this
country and from abroad.
The Worlds Fair grounds and buildings,
now nearing completion, are SO renowned as a
most beautiful and interesting spectacle. that
not only do from 5000 to II, 900 people day, at
a cost of % cents apiece, inspect them, but the
great majority of travellers who pass through
Chicago devote a day or more to the same pur.
pose Hundreds Of distinguished foreigners
and thousands of prominent men, from the
various States Of the Union have availed
themselves of this privilege, and it is not ex-
agseration to say that all, without exception
have been most agreeaby surprised at the
splendor and magnitude of what they wit
messed, and have departed very enthusiastic
over the bright prospects of the Fair. Several
hundred of the returning delegates of the late
Republican National Convention at Minneapolis
inspected the wonders of Jackson Park while
in Chicago. Nearly all the delegates to the
Democratic Convention at Chicago have done
the same. The Exposition authorities have
committees to show visitors about and explain
details to them.
