The state newspapers are earnestly dis
cussing the good and bad features of the
Australian ballot, ~ developed at the
recent election. The Bismarck Tribune
wants the law amended as follows Re-
tain the provisions forbidding any one to
electionser within fifty feet Of the polls.
Retain the booths. but do away with the
blanket ballots and in lieu thereof place
in the booths the separate tickets of eaci,
party, each ticket to be stamped and re
ceive the inspectors initials when the vo-
ter hands it in. The Tribune claims that
it is impossible, with the present ballot
for large numbers Of voters to express
their preferences when they vote. All of
which is true. The Grand Forks Herald
wants the law amended so that fair OK.
preston of opinion may be had when
constitutional amendments and other
propositions are voted on. According to
the Herald, where large number of vo-
ters forget all about the propositions on
the ticket, the matter should be remedied;
and the Herald says that the remedy lie
in having 4 small supplemental ticket
contain the proposition, such ticket to
be stamped and handed to the voter with
the big ticket, thus calling the voters at
tention to the measure submitted. But
the Record sincerely hopes that the secret.
vote features of the Australian law will
not be touched. Times are hard and
many OF the voters owe money to men
who are active in politics. Sometimes
creditor is found who is mean enough
to use his financial pull in political
campaign. The writer knows Of several
instances where it has been done right
hero in Emmons county. These dis
reputable methods can now be used to rs
slst in carrying caucuses; but in the
quiet and seclusion of the pollln9-booth,
they exercise no influence. Hence it fire..
quently happens that men who cannot
obtain recognition in packed caucus Or
convention of their party are elected by
large majorities when they run independ.
emily and submit their claims to the pso.
pie direct. The present election system
is much better than the old one, and the
Record hopes that the life will not be
cut out of it by excessive amendment

JAMES RORTONI FINED.
How He Got Into Trouble and Lost
Part of His Ear.

How He Got Into Trouble and Lost
Part of His Ear.
James Bortoni was arraigned in the
Police Court yesterday for misdemeanor.
D. L. Hoger testified that Bortoni came
to his door and asked to see his children.
Mrs. Hoger was divorced from Bortoni
about a year ago, and she has the custody
of the children and has married Hoger.
Hoger told Bortoni to come in and see
them, and he came IN. Hoger went to
kindle fire in the stove and Bortoni
said, THAT is my stove.' Witness paid
no attention to him, but he persisted in
claiming the property as his and trying
to pick a quarrel. Witness finally started
to get an officer, when Bortoni asked him
if he was going to get one. He answered
yes, and Bortoni struck at him. He
Warded it off and knocked Bortoni down
and held him down.
Witness asked him several times if he
would give up and behave. but he re-
fused to. He sent his wife TO get an Off
Ger, and while she was gone BOrtOni gave
up and he let him go. When witness
wife came back with an officer Bortoni
was gone
Mrs Hoger corroborated the testimony
of her husband. Bortoni, she said, al
ways abused her husband when he came
Two bright-looking little children of
Bortoni were in court with their mother,
and one OF them testified to the same
effect. Although only 10 years old, she
made very clear statement.
Bortoni took the stand and swore that
he knocked at the door and asked to see
his children. Hoger said, "You can see
them if you don't make any row." He
said he did not want any row, when
Hoger knocked him down and fell on
him, getting his thumb in his (Hoger's)
mouth and biting it. Mrs. Hoger came
to her husbands assistance, and bit and
chewed his ear. The court had given
him the privilege Of seeing his children.
He called Hoger no names and did not
strike him first.
Bortoni was very badly used up, both
eyes we're BACKED. his thumb badly bit
ten, his face scratched and piece of his
ear gone.
The court fined him $40 or ten days.
The mystery still remains however, as
to how Bortoni managed to bite off his
own ear and chew his thumb.

Additional Lenten Regulations in tn

Additional Lenten Regulations in the
Sacramento Diocese.
In yesterdays paper was published
Archbishop Riordan's announcement OF
the regulations for the Lenten season,
now about to commence. Right Rev.
Bishop Manogue of the Sacramento Dio-
cese has also published a Lenten pastoral
addressed to the people within his juris-
diction, in which he treats at length of
the sacredness of the marriage state and
deploreS the tOo-prevailing misery conse-
quent on ill-advised and improper mar
riages. The following Lenten regula-
tions, additional to those heretofore pub
lished, are also announced:
1.-THE time for complying with the Pas
chal precept in the Diocese of Sacramento
extends from Quadragesima Sunday, or
first Sunday Of Lent, to Trinity Sunday.
The respective pastors are hereby en-
powered to dispense in cases of fasting
and absence where prudence and suf-
ticient reason authorize. They are also
requested to be diligent during the holy
season of Lent, III laying before their peo-
pie the great truths of religion, and the
necessity Of availing themselves of this
acceptable time to regain the friendship
of God, by salutary penance for their
sins; by alms-deeds and works Of mercy
to the poor.
where circumstances permit, let de-
votional services be held as often as possi-
BILE during the week, but especially on
Wednesday, Friday and Sunday even
ings.
"The collection ordered by the late
PIenary Council is to be announced next
Sunday and taken up on the following, or
first Sunday of Lent. Your attention is
particularly called to this collection.
"a collection after the sermon on Good
Friday is also recommended by the holy
father, to be devoted to the rescue and
preservation of the shrines and sanctu-
aries of the holy land.
1.-The five annual diocesan collections
are as follows: Feast Of the Epiphany
for the missions in Africa, ordered by the
usual. For the orphans OF the diocese,
the first Sunday of Advent; Indians,
negroes and propagation of the faith, the
first Sunday of Lent; seminarians study
ing for the diocese. Pentecost Sunday,
and for the holy father, first Sunday of
October, or Rosary Sunday.
proper announcements, explanations
and encouragements should and are
hereby ordered to be given on the Sun
day preceding each respective collection.
Rectors having several congregations or
churches in their missions do not satisfy
the obligation by sending collection
only from one. Each and every congre-
cation are bound to contribute to those
annual collections. and the proceeds are
looked for in Sacramento as soon as pos
sible."

Gypsy Life,

Edgar L. Wakeman's pathetic story of
"Baba Sy'ra's Quest" which we present
in this issue, is masterful tribute from a
great-hearted man to the humane quail
ties of a strange self -outlawed race. Mr..
Wakeman is admittedly the highest
American authority upon gypsies. The
innermost secret of their lives and ways
are an open book to him. While his pen
always reveals the dark phases of their
character with Photographic fidelity, he
has always as Loyalty contended for a
recognition of the virtues which the
nomads really possess. In "Baba
Sy'ras Quest' he not only contributes
valuable lore to ethnologic science, but
creates a new standard for all who may
follow in gypsy fctional work.
