1t seemed like old times Monday evening
at the session of the Board of Trustees.
Trustee Jones, who since his election seems
to have served as oil on the usually troubled
waters, was absent, and it was not long be-
fore the routine business led up to the
usual deadlock, two of the board, Hadlen
and Whiting, pitted against Subenrauch
and Acton. Whiting asked to have the
electric light bill considered separately
from the others. He thought the light
during the month was unsatisfactory, and
at least $50 should be taken off the bill.
Hadlen stated that he knew of sew
eral complaints, and that he had been
assured that the light had not been
of the required 2000-candle power. He
moved that an expert be appointed to test
the lights, but the motion went no farther.
1t was shown that the length of the carbon
in the morning would show the amount of
light given the night before. Acton put
in a motion to allow all bills, but it was
defeated. Hadlen moved to allow all bills
except the electric-Gght bill, but it could
not pass the opposition. So the matter of
the electric-light bill and the charges
against the quality of the service we're all
laid over for another meeting.

ONE BALLOT Was BURNED.
Election Officers Decide a Dispute
With a Match.
Contestant Scheerer Disguised With Some
of the Witnesses Who Went
Back on Him.

The legislative contest of Joseph Sheerer
against John Mccarthy in the Thirty-sixth
District came to a close in Justice Barry's
courtroom yesterday. The testimony taken
will be forwarded to Sacramento to-day.
The defense put in no evidence whatever.
The contestant Scheerer was very much
disguised with some OF the witnesses, who
told him many stories of being counted
out, but when placed on the stand they
knew nothing whatever. Scheerer came to
the conclusion that all some of these wit
nesses wanted was 81 for witness fees and
so expressed himself.
When on the stand himself Scheerer said
that most of the frauds of which he had
knowledge he knew only on hearsay evil
dence. my Republican witnesses have
all gone back on me, | am ashamed to con-
TESS" he said.
He testified that in the Ninth Precinct
of the Thirty-sixth District he saw about
twenty-five inmates of the Almshouse
taken to the polls.
"They were escorted to the booth and
voted like Sheep he said. "There was no
Republican representative present. Some
of them were furnished slips of paper with
the names of Democratic candidates on
them. They were hustled into the stalls
and voted. | was badly done up in this
precinct, but have kept quiet, as / had the
short end of it,
In speaking of his witnesses Scheerer
testified that one named Simon had written
Scheerer's SOP that he could prove Scheerer
had been robbed of twenty-five votes in the
Thirteenth Precinct, but when Simon was
placed on the stand he said he knew moth
ing. 'Those are the kind of witnesses I
have had" said Scheerer, mournfully.
Jacob Mccarthy, when sworn, was asked
by the attorney for Scheerer if he had been
given 800 to spend on the election of his
namesake Mccarthy.
mo, sir, returned the witness.
+. Scheerer, a son of the contestant, testi-
fed that he was in the booth of the Fifth
Precinct when the votes were being count
ed. There was some dispute about the
total number of votes cast, and the election
officers took one ballot and DESTROYED it.
A match was lit and applied to the ballot
and the blanket-sheet went up in flames.
He did not know what election officer it
was who did this. He said the election
officers were drinking, but he did not think
they were seriously under the influence of
liquor.

18th of January, 1858, and physician got
me out of bed in fifteen days, but | was
then taken down again. | sent for the
same doctor and he did the best he knew
how, but kept getting worse until l could
not move any of my limbs. just gave up
all hope l did not take any more medi-
cine until my wife saw Paine's celery COM
pound advertised in the Omaha World
Herald and she said, TRY bottle.' :.
''At that time l could not move myself
under any circumstances and was swollen
in all my limbs and had terrible pain in
nv breast and limbs at the same time. l

able to get up and out of bed the Wednes-
day following, and was able to attend to
business in thirteen days"

No remedy was ever SO highly recon-
mended as Paine's celery compound, the
discovery of Americas greatest physician.
Testimonials from people whom it has
made well are as thick as leaves in Vallom-
brosa
A few days ago this paper published a
letter from lady in Wichita, Kans., who
owes her health solely to this greatest OF
remedies.
Yesterday contemporary printed the
following letter from c. M. Baldwin, a
prominent citizen of Washington, Kans.
1t proves the vast superiority of Paine's
celery compound over ordinary sarsa-
parillas, nervines and bitters. Mr.. Bald
win writes:
''Last winter, after wrestling week with
an attack of the grip, it left me full OF
aches and pains, nervous, tired and unable
to get good nights sleep-in fact 1 felt
played out all the time. I began taking
Paine's celery compound, and must say
that it did wonders for me. | began to
improve from the first dose, and in less
than week I could sleep all right and get
up in the morning feeling refreshed. 1 can
truthfully say that it is the best medicine
that I ever took and it did all that you
claim it will do"
A Topeka paper is authority for the
statement that in Kansas alone Paine's
celery compound has already cured more
than six thousand people of rheumatism,
and it mentions the case of Mrs. J. T..
Smith of South Haven as a fair instance.
