For the Flame in the Fourth Dis
 trict Contest.
TWO MATERIAL WITNESSES
For Aldrich Do Not Prove as Effective as Could Be
 Desired.
AGE HERALD BUREAU, 1
 CrTMA Ian 1S

 The examination Of witnesses in the AL drich contest case began Wednesday in one of the sample rooms of the Hotel Albert. 8. s. Holbrook, republican, of Shelby county, notary public, is presiding over the court. Mir. w. F. Aldrich is present, and is represented by Peyton G. Bowman. |. MT. Robbins is not here. He is repre- sented by MT. Percy Wood.
 Nothing of particular interest has been brought out so far, except that Aldrich paid his witnesses from S12.50 to S26 to watch the polls on election day.
 MT. Pink McIlwain testifies that he watched the Selma polling place and counted 7S0 voters, keeping tally with acorns dropped into his pocket.
 The investigation promises to last two or three weeks. Up to o'clock today only one witness was examined.
 David Lloyd took the stand at o'clock. He testified that he had resided in Selma ten years, and is en gagged In the retail gro- cery business is well acquainted with the people of Selma, He. has been an active participant in city and county politics for three years past, and had made careful examination of the poll list for the election held in November.
 When asked who the copy of the poll list he examined was certified by he said by Judge of Probate P. c. Wood, but cor rected himself and said acflng judge of probate. He did not think all ofthe names on the poll list were legal voters. He thought 750 or 800 names out of the 2021 on the list were legal voters.
 His testimony was very pleasing to Messrs. ldrich, Bowman and Dean until it came to testfying to the non residence Of individuals on the list. Then 1t was not as strong as they could have wished.

The Count Was Dreaming.

Midnight.
 The Countess Gesundheimer, nee Pork ingham, was listening intently.
 The count was talking in his sleep.
 True, when she had exchanged her mil lions for his title she had waived all thoughts of his past but with woman's natural curiosity she wished to know for the sake of knowing.
 Breathlessly she hearkened. From the finely chiseled lips of her aristocratic spouse came the words:
