From Saturdays Daily.l


W. s. Stambaugh, attorney for G.
G. Huffman, appeared again before
the board and fortified his position
regarding the protest against
N. B. Robson's being declared elected
sheriff, citing several decisions Of the
supreme court bearing on the ques-
tion. Mr.. Robson came in later and
admitted that he had taken out nc
second papers. He said however that
his father had been naturalized before
the son became Of age. This does
not agree with the fact that Robson
himself took out his first papers. II
his father was naturalized why did
Nick do thatp As a matter Of fact
the probabilities are that Robson has
only his first papers and contest
may result. II it succeeds the effect
will be to declare the election void as
to sheriff. Were this Sheriff Smiths
first term be would hold over until
his successor qualified but the law
makes 1t impossible for him to hold
Office more than four years. Hence
there may be vacancy until the next
general election which the governor
will fill by appointment and naturally
Mr.. Huffman will be appointed. Nick
may fight for his job anyhow though
he ought not TO have to do SO.

Died in Young Manhood.

A particularly sad death was that
Of John Klopfer Of Ridge township,
Saturday afternoon. The taking
away Of a young man in the full
flush Of success is ever sorrowful,
but when in addition the departed
has been the chief stay Of a father and
the trusted and loved friend of a wide
cicle of acquaintance it is doubly so.
Mr.. Klopfer was all of this. He was
in his oath year and had evidenced an
ability as business man far beyond
his years. He was member of the
Christian church, a Sunday school
worker, upright, manly and trust
worthy-one of those whose going
makes the world poorer. lie had
been SICK Tor several days WIN what
was thought to be tonsilitis but de-
veloped into diptheria and carried its
victim away almost before the family
was aware.
Funeral services we're held from
the home Of the grieving parents,
Mr. and Mrs. George Klopier, Sunday
afternoon and were attended by a
large number neighbors and friends.
The remains were laid TO rest in
Pilgrim Home cemetery.

An Important Office.

To properly fill its office and func.
tons, 1t is important that the blood
be pure. When it is in such a con-
dition, the body is almost certain tc
be healthy. A complaint at this time
Is catarrh in some Of Its various
forms. A slight cold develops the
disease in the head. Droppings ol
corruption passing into the lungs
bring on consumption. The only
way to cure this disease is to purify
the blood. The most obstinate cases
Of catarrh yield to the medicinal
powers Of Hoods Sarsaparilla as II by
magic, simply because 1t reaches the
seat Of the disease, and by purifying
and vitalizing the blood, removes The
cause. Not only does Hoods Sarsap.
arilla do this but it gives renewed
vigor to the whole system, making Il
possible for good health to reign su
preme.

Let Contests Alone.

There has been a great deal Of talk
on the street today about the contest
over Mr.. Robson's election as sheriff,
The REFLECTOR believes that a con.
test is all wrong in this case. Mr..
Robson was the choice Of the majority
Of the people and technicality should
not lose him his office. He has lived
in this county for years, the people
voted for him and he should take the
office without question. Let the
majority rule, no matter who is
benefited. That is the fair, manly
way to do and we hope no contest
suit will be be brought in this in
stance.

POPS BAD FAITH,
How They Worked the Democrats
for Their Support.

tor Their support.
A scrutiny Of the official returns as
published in the REFLECTOR has made
evident what this paper claimed on
the day following election--that the
Populists played in bad faith with the
Democrats by putting Anderson, a
Democrat, on the ticket and then
quietly knitting him at election SO as
to defeat him. The counter claim
that the confusion Of the short term
on the ballot defeated Anderson Is
efrectually disproven by the figures
For instance the highest number Of
votes cast for any officer was 3,S44,
cast for the two candidates for treas
urer. This then was the highest
number Of voters who went to the
polls. In the vote for the long term
for register Miss King received 1854
votes, which was so votes more than
half Of all votes cast and "A more than
her competitor. This shows that she
was actually and decisively the choice
Of majority Of all the voters in Dick
inson county who went to the polls
last week. 1t also proves that Mr..
Anderson was deliberately knitted by
the Pop party as he was the only one
Of the leading candidates on the ticket
who failed to receive a majority Of
the votes and failed Of election. He
received 400 less votes less than
Kieffer and 700 less than Pattison.
The Democrats we're played for suck
ers and swallowed the bait.

GOODWIN GETS IN.
REPUBLICANS GAIN A HIGH
SCHOOL TRUSTEE.
A. G, Romig Is the Leader in Major
tiles with the Handsome Figure Of
l47S-Sterling Did Not Beat Huff
man after All-Complete Official
Returns.

The complete official vote of Dick
inson county is given today in th'
REFLECTOR and presents for the frs
time the exact figures on Tuesday
election.
1t will be seen that the Republicans
have one more officer than they
counted on-John Goodwin of Hayes
township for high school trustee, who
defeated }. u Kugler. Mr.. Goodwin
is one of Dickinson's most popular
farmers and his election is tribute
to his high standing.
A. c. Romig has the banner for big
majority, being l,47S ahead of his
competitor Pattison is n close Sec
ond however with Liza.
Fifteen votes were cast for Mace
King for short term and 1887 for
G. c. Anderson for a short term.
Miss Kings majority for the long
term is n.
One of the oddities Of the result is
the small vote. Last fall 4,549 votes
were cast for governor For chief
justice this year only 2,S99 are cast;
for judge S,6l7; for county officers
about $500. Many voters marked
only two or three names.
The vote on sheriff shows too that
Sterling received even less votes than
he was given credit for heretofore and
cannot even have the pleasure Of
thinking he defeated anybody. For
his entire vote added to that of Huff
man would not quite equal that Of
Robson.
Mr.. Anderson has not yet decided
what he will do in his little matter.
He will probably take his medicine.
There were two ties before the
board. August Berbohm and Carl
Fisher tied for road overseer In dis
trict 8, Union township. In the draw
ing Berbohm was chosen, G. Ander-
son and L. Forslund tied for overseer
in district one, Logan township. An
derson was the lucky one,
County Clerk Nottorf this after
noon issued a certificate Of election to
N. B. Robson. He says he will con.
slider the matter Of q short term for
register a little but will probably is
sue a certificate to Mr.. Anderson and
let the two contestants fight 1t out.

PROTESTED RoBsoN's ELECTION
Is Nick a Citizen Of the United
States Eligible to 0Mce9
fFrom Saturday's Daily.1

The board Of county commissioners
met this afternoon to canvass the vote
Of the county and work will be com
pleted this evening.
W. S. Stambaugh appeared before
the board and filed protest against
granting Nick Robson, the Demo-
Pop candidate for sheriff, his certif-
cate on the ground that Mr.. Robson
is not citizen Of the United States
eligible to hold office. 1t appears that
Mr.. Robson was born in Canada. His
father moved to this country before
Nick was Of age but never took out
naturalization papers. Nick in 1884
took out his own first papers so-called,
which are in effect declaration OF
his intention to become a citizen but
do not make him one, although giving
person the right to vote provided
he complies with residence and other
local qualifications. His second pa
pers which complete the condition of
citizenship have never, according to
such information as has come to light,
been taken out. The statutes say
that a candidate shall be a citizen Of
the United States at the time Of elec
tion. 1t remains to be determined
whether holding first papers complies
with this provision. Some of the
lawyers think it does not but most
were unwilling to express an opinion
without looking up authorities. 1t
would be interesting to see Nick lose
his job after all his trouble to get it.
George Anderson is checking up on
the vote on long and short terms for
register, but as actual inspection Of
ballots is necessary to determine how
many voted for short term alone there
is not much satisfaction in it.
In Sedgwick county where there
was fusion as here an interesting con.
test is on hand. A dispatch says:
Every defeated candidate in this
county will probably commence con-
tests on account Of Irregularities un-
der the Australian ballot law. The
Democrats and Populists fused, but
their tickets were printed twice on
the ballot, once under the head Dem
ocratic ticket and once under the
head 'Populist ticket which SO con-
fused the voters that many Of them
voted twice for each candidate. In
some precincts this double vote was
counted, and in some precincts it was
thrown out altogether as an illegal
ballot"

MooRE's REGENCY CASE.
Supreme Court Decides Against Sena'
tor Rogers,

tor William Rogers against Governo
Morrill, and 0. l.. Moore Of Abilene
to recover his position as u membe
Of the board Of regents Of the Stat
University, the supreme court find
| Judgment for the defendants. Th,
first was an original proceeding il
mandamus to compel the governor tt
rescind his order removing Mr. Rog'
ers in accordance with the report ol
the Legislative committee which in
vestigated the charges filed against
Rogers.
Chief Justice Martin writes the
opinions. The syllabus Of the man
damus case says: "The title Of chap
ter 239, session laws 1889 being An
act providing for the appointment Of
committees to investigate the affairs
of state institutions and conduct OF
officers, is broad enough to cover leg
islation authorizing reports of such
committees and making such reports
elfectual.
"That regent Of the State Uniyer-
sity is and during his term Of office
has been addicted to the excessive use
of intoxicating liquors and his con-
duct and example detrimental to the
best interests Of the University, Is suf-
ficient cause for his removal under
chapter 2S9.'
The quo warranto proceedings in
stituted by Mr.. Rogers against 0. l..
Moore, who was appointed to succeed
Mr.. Rogers, follows. Chief Justice
Martin writes this opinion and orders
Judgment entered for the defendant.
He says; "lncbricty is vice that
can not well be hidden. A regent
might be drunk on the streets Of
Lawrence, but sober at the meetings
Of the board and while within the
campus or the walls of the University,
yet his example would be disgraceful
and injurious. In such case it is
difficult to distinguish the conduct Of
the man from the conduct Of the
officer. The findings Of the commit
tee would at least imply that the inc
briefly Of the regent was of such no.
toriety and proximity as to constitute
a bad example for the students and
others connected with the University.
This Is immortality in office within
the scope Of chapter 239, session laws |
of 1882
The above statement in the opinion
is made in reply to the contention Of
the defendants that the evidence did
not show any "ofllcial misconduct
Justice Allen, the Popullst member
Of the court, dissents from both prop
ositions in the syllabus. He main
tains that the title Of the act In ques-
lion is not clearly expressed so as to
Indicate the intention of the statute.
This is a final disposition Of the
case. Mr.. Moore will, however, re-
sign the position Of regent before tax
ng his seat as Judge, the law making
t impossible for him to hold any pub
ic office Of trust orproiit while acting
n the latter capacity.

NEW YORK, November 14.-But two ques-
lions Of Importance have been considered
by the National Base Ball League. One was
that of Sunday base ball, and in the DISPOSE
ton of which the big four" combination
the New York. Philadelphia, Boston and
Pittsburg clubs-succeeded in scoring a
point. by forcing the league to instruct the
schedule committee that the games sched-
uled in the west for their respective clubs
be so arranged as to end each series on Sat
urday or to begin Monday. This does away
with the practice in the western cities of a
Sunday-playing club being brought on to fill
in the day of rest, while another visiting
and MISUNDERSTANDING club is obliged to
lay over day to finish its series.
The other question was that of Chris. Won
der Abe of st. Louis who claimed Pitcher
Mcfarland of Indianapolis. The league
thought otherwise, however, and ordered
club he had been farmed out to President
Brush's Indianapolis club. Won der Abe evil
IDENTIFY thought he had been robbed, for he
spoke loud and often of his intention to
bring suit against the league for depriving
him of the player. The league meetings are
few indeed that the st. Louisian does not
find some excuse to work himself into a
frenzy over fancied wrong.
Aside from the awarding of the champion
ship to the Baltimore club, and the presen-
tation of a request from John Ward to be
granted his release from the New York club,
which was laid over, nothing Of Importance
