claw Claw and Early, while Terrell, Quitman,
Randolph, and Calhoun endorsed Judge
Query.
email vote polled in all of the counties
There was a wonderful lack of enthusi-
osm in the campaign, and the people APP
noar to have been exceedingly indiffer-
ant as TO the result. They were not in
tornsted enough to go to the polls in any
~ the counties, and the consequence is
+bot the combined votes of both of
the candidates is hardly as much as one
third of the voting strength of the dis
trict. ~.
counties that acted Wednesday,:
In Terrell the primary was very one
sided affair. Knowing that Judge Query
was in no danger, and the county prac-
ticalv solid for him, the people didn't
tIrn out and the vote, was light. Only 341
votes were cast in the county. In Daw
son 200 votes were polled and Mr.. Rus
sell received Il. In Brentwood Query
had 38 and Russell 8. In the Eleventh
only : votes were polled, all for Query.
TnIthe Twelfth Query got all, 20. In Sas
ser CHERRY received 80 and Russell 3. In
Parrott Query got rs and Russell 2. In
the Forks votes were polled for Guer-
~ The polls were not opened at Dover.
,iudge Guerry's total vote in the county
was 318 and Russel's 20.
In Dougherty county less than ITO
votes were polled. Nearly all of them
we're for Russell.
Probably the campaign was little
warmer in Thomas county than any
where else, but Notwithstanding that fact
only a little more than 800 votes
were DOlled out of 1000, Russell car
ried the county five 70 one.
In Calhoun county something over
200 votes were polled. Judge Query
got small majority Notwithstanding
that a number of votes were thrown out.
Berrien county went for Russell. The
total vote polled was 357.
Baker county was close. Russell car
ried it by eight votes. He received 13
illegal votes, however, and Query one,
which would give the county to the lat
ter by majority. About 200 votes we're
polled.
I'm Early county 900 votes were polled.
Russell received 365 and Query 267.
The vote IN Mitchell was very light.
Russell received nearly all of them.
Clay held mass meeting and selected
Russell delegates after considerable
wrangle.
Decatur, Mr.. Russell's home county,
vas practically one way. The vote poll
ed was about 100.
Colquitt Went for Russell. Not much
interest as taken and the vote was
small.
The polls were opened at one precinct
il Worth county, and Judge Query re-
ceived IS votes, all that were cast.

Mr.. George st. John had a marrow es-

gathering the hen fruit he was shocked
to see huge rattler, five feet in length,

KILLED BY STRYCHNINE.
MRS. WOODLAND A VICTIM OF THE
POISON.
1t Was Given Her by Mistake, and She

Died Before Physician Could
BE Summoned.
News has been received in
Dawson that Mrs. Woodham, middle
aged lady living on the Gamble place,
in the southern portion of the county,
died last Wednesday from the effects of
an overdose of strychnine.
She had not been we'll for some time,
it seems, and thought she was taking
some medicine which an Albany physi-
clan had prescribed, hut in some way
happened to get hold OF the fatal drug
which caused her death.
AS soon as Mrs. Woodhar swallowed
the poison she knew that mistake had
been made, and had an antidote prepar-
ed and messenger dispatched for a
physician.
The antidote administered was with
olt effect and she died before the doctor
could reach her, living only short while
after taking the fatal drug.

E,srci.. Of tho Federal Power.

NdAEFGAa9 W kaV SS%A
Tho exercise Of the federal power In
the west to compel obedience 10 the
laws Of the United States has made
some persons very unhappy. Debs and
his crowd and the mayor OF Chicago and
the governor Of Illinois pretend to SEQ
In tho use Of the military force OF the
United States an atrocious abuse Of tho
Presidents position as commander.in.
chief. Others from whom more was to
DO expected have made protesIa more or
less vigorous.
There can DO no question as to the
Presidents authority 10 do just the
thing be has done. He may not only
send troops to any part Of the country
TO aid In tho execution Of the laws Of the
United States, bat he. not the governor
Of state or the mayor OF a city, is the
Judge and the sole judge OF the whole
proceeding.
With respect to the exercise of this
constitutional authority there arc no
state lines aud no city lines. A Law OF
the United States 10 Al local to Illinois
as any act of tho state legislature. A
United States judge, marshal or soldier
is no moro alien to Illinois than a state
Judge, sheriff or constable.
As state laws and tho authority OF tho
governor reach to tho remotest corncr
Of every county, so tho laws OF the
United States aud the authority Of the
President cover every foot OF every
state and cyoty territory. This is tho
form Of government We live undor, aud
the experience Of moro than century
proves it to be good form. Since tho
federal authority exists it must be
Obeyed.
II tho laws OF tho United States be
violated anywhere in this country the
federal power must make itself felt.
Whether that power show itself in civil
process or by military force is imma-
terial. In fact the two are inseparably
connected. Every time United States
Judge holds court the whole military
powerof the United States is ut his bac k
TO enforce the mandates Of his court.
1t should DO unnecessary in this day
to 60 into these primary matters, but
there seem 10 be many fairly informed
people who regard the United States us
foreign power which cannot make
itself foIt in any state without violating
some sacred right
AIischieyious demagocues arc largely
responsible for getting so many people
wrong and trying to keep them wrong
on this important question; and not all
tho demagogues have been strike agita'
tors.

Dcbs and three Of his crowd have
been indicted for conspiracy, and ono
OF them for tampcrinG with railroad
switch. This action is particularly
roassuring. 1t is what tho country has
hoped to eee, impatient that it did not
come.
The probability is that, tho federal
authorities have becn working up the
case to make aura of thcir ground, SO
that when the sorrows were put on they
might DO turned to good purpose.
Dobs is primarily responsible for oil
that has happened, all tho obstruction
cfttatIlc, all tho burning. all tho ston-
ing, all the killing. Next to Debs como
his lioutcnantn II punishment be
noted out to them commensurate with
their oflonse, Dcbsism will have received
a blow from which it will not recover.
Nobody will have moro reason to ro-
joicn than tho wagc.earnets OF the
