About dozen votes we're cast in this
county FOR the prohibition state ticket,
which we do not give, owing 10 having
run short Of capital letters.
Persons elected to office must apply TO
the county clerk for their certificates Of
election, as he can not send them out
without an order on him for the same.
A newspaper cannot be run 10 suit the

what you like and skip over what you

We have had several heavy showers OF

not be room on their farms 10 stack IL,
and will have to let il hang over onto
their neighbor's farms.
Owing TO the high waters our regular

Charley Perrin left Tuesday with bis
harness and saddlery outfit for Antelope,
via Leonard's bridge and Moro. Charley
is an industrious, deserving young man,
and as he is an excellent workman and
thorough master Of the business, he IL
sure to succeed in his new enterprise.
His many friends In Gillian county wish
him success.
The election is over, and lisa safe bet
that u OF the candidates are better sat
isfed with the result than the other "a.
There is one thing certain about running
for otfice--all OF the candidates cannot
win, and ii does not show good Judgment
for the defeated party TO get mad about
IL and paw holes into the atmosphere; !;
they know before getting into the race
that 1t Is impossible for all to win.
The Australian ballot system has come
TO stay. No city or state that has tried
IL has gone back to the old system, with
its buster, bribery, repeating and false
counting. By timely explanation the
dullest voter now understands II. Voters
deem it matter OF self.prlde as well as
duty to master the simple details that
the law requires. II is worth while to
90 TO little trouble to insure free vote
and an honest count.
The republicans OF Gillian county
have reason to rejoice at their success at
Mondays election. II is the most com
plete victory they have had since the or
ganization OF the county, having elected
every candidate except sheriff. As our
friend O. s. Eb remarked, "they elected
Wilcox also, as he could not have been
elected without some repu blican votes. :"
: The vote shows republican majority in
this county Of almost 200.

chance for getting through. lie says
