Tuesday afternoon, during the rain and

few miles south of this place that acted
very strangely, to say the least 1t was

seemed to burst asunder, one part going to
the northwest and only forty or fifty feet
from the earth. One of the sections passed
over or through the tops of some tall pop
lar trees and shaved them off as if gigan-
tic moving machine had passed that way.

The New Election Law.

As the time approaches for call
ing ward primaries, city cCnven-
tions, and conducting an election,
it is not out of place to refer to the
new election law as passed by the
last legislature, or rather TO the
change in the Cooper law used for
the past two years In Wisconsin.
While the general effect of the law
remains about the same, the changes
are quite numerous, and need the
careful study of those VINO will
come in contact with its provisions.
City conventions and ward pri-
maries are held in precisely the
same manner as they were last
spring, candidates being nominated
same as heretofore. Candidates
who enter the field by nomination
papers will note the change how
ever. Section law of '9l, refer
ing to nomination papers reads:
"Such nomination papers for an
officer TO be elected by county, dis
trict or subdivision less than a
state, (such as a city, shall be
signed by a number of the votes
thereof not less than one per centum
of the whole number of votes cast
therein at the last general election
preceding such nomination, by at
least thirty voters; if for ward
office in a ward, polling less than
one hundred and fifty votes, by at
least fifteen electors of such ward"
Under section 3, of the old law, no
city or ward nomination papers was
legal unless signed by at least fifty
voters.
The time for filing certificates of
nomination and nomination papers
has been changed to "not more
than fifteen or less than seven days
