An Important Decision on the Election
 Law of Missouri.

KANSAS CITY, April 3o.-The state supreme court at Jefferson City today rendered an important decision in con nection with the Australian ballot law. T he alleged election frauds in Jackson county had been brought before the grand jury and the recorder ordered to produce the ballot boxes for their in- spection. To this the recorder demur- red and the case taken to the supreme court for adjudication. The court to. day sustained the recorder, denying the right of the grand jury or any one else to inspect the ballots. In sum- ming up the court says: 'The consid- erations which induced the states of this Union to adopt the secret ballot not only continue to exist, but others have been added. The timid voter to- day is not only protected from his opu- lent employer, but from the aggressive spirit of his own fellows and the domi- nations of the brotherhoods and unions" Giving the grand jury the right to inspect the ballot boxes. the court holds. would violate the secrecy of the ballot as we'll as be an infringe of the constitution.

Sad Affair in Fairview.

An unusually sad affair occurred on
the Thos. Hays farm in Fairview twp.
last Saturday night. For some weeks,
Armstrong Jamison has had charge O
| McGrew and Brown well, at the head of
the hollow. Late Saturday night ol
early Sunday morning the rig was motto
ed to be burning, and some of the
neighbors went to it, but it was then
almost entirely destroyed, and the iron
roof of the boiler house had fallen to the
ashes of the wood work. When Hutchi-
son Jamison, arrived at the scene he pried
up the roof and under it found the body OF
his brother burned beyond recognition,
and yet burning. Armstrong had been
in Ksrns City, Saturday, returned late
that night and did not go to the well
till towards midnight. Nobody who saw
the rig burning had any idea he wa. there.
The well was run by gas; gasoline
accumulated, and the fire is thought to
have originated from it. Mr.. Jamison
was married to a daughter of Jacob
Ellenberger, who with three children
survive him. He formerly resided in
Butler, and worked for JOHN Richey.
