he wanted to vote for an individual by cross
at the side. III the case referred to the mark

tell whether the voter wanted to vote the
full ticket or to scratch part of it.

pie, so that the election can be conduct
ed properly and finished during the day.
As say, 1 find great many things
to condemn in the election in question.
Mr.. Burke.-Your honor will re-
member that voting under the Walton
law takes longer; it takes longer to cast
the ballots.
The Court.-That is another reason
why the precincts should be more scat
tered.
I do not know when the poll books of this
district were purged, but think now is the
time when they should be purged. The
proper officers should examine into the mat.
ter of illegal voters, and certainly strike of
from the list every voter in the election who
may be shown to be Illegal. If were to dc
that this morning; if we admit that there
were 43 illegal votes east, and if were to
carry out my views in the case and take every
illegal vote from the contestees, the election
would still be where it is In the case of Mr.
Hume and Mr.. Duncan, with respect to the
Al votes referred to, while the express re
quiz sment of the Walton law as to scratching
was not carried out literally, yet there is such
clear indication of the way the voters
wanted 10 vote that I would not undertake to
deprive them of what they intended by their
ballots. The scratch doss not go three-quar-
tsrs probably. I did not measure it. saw
some of them.
Mr.. Burke. I think some of them are
scratched three quarters.
The court I did not measure them. But
when judges of election undertake to throw
out ballots on that ground they ought to be
very careful, because it is an indication as to
how man intended to vote. The law says
three-fourths; it might have said five.
Fights or seven-eights or any other,
but there is clear indication. In
can sec why the officers might reasonably
throw out ballot of the kind referred to-
Under that Law man was required to scratch

Edwin Barbour's thrilling melo-
drama, "Land of the Midnight Sun
will be the attraction at the Opera
House Thursday, November l4th.
The effects of the play, like most Of
Manager Persons productions, are
highly realistic and spectacular
The strongest of these is the erup-
tion of Mt. Heckla, and the explo-
sion of the sulphur mines, two
scenes that admit Of the highest
pyrotechnic display. The story is
one of strong emotion, dealing with
the lives of two brothers who are
unknown to each other, one seek
ing vengeance upon the other for a
wrong wrought by their own fa-
ther Mr.. Barbour, the author, ac
knowledes that he is indebted for
some of the principal incidents of
his play to the famous story, "The
Bondman, by Hall Cain, an English
author, The story Of "The Bond
man." while rather gloomy, has
been so manipulated and infused
with comedy situations by Mr.. Bar
bour, that it is scarcely recognized
in the production of the "Land OF
the Midnight Sun" The cast and
scenery is said to be far above the
average, and that good play will
be given is hardly to be doubted
