Object to Students Voting

On the ground that student influence on
local politics has had bad effect at past
elections. the citizens of Vermillion, S. D..
where the state university is located, have
served notice that students will not be al
loved to vote there November 3. The
faculty has advised them to return home
election day, but many are resolved to
cast their allots at Vermillion and a clash
at the polls is not unlikely

Clnined With Doubt by Democrats.

In order to carry the election, Mr. Nc
kinley will have to secure, in addition to
the electoral votes of the states conceded to
lin, loI votes out of the list of states
brought into doubt by the conflicting claims
Of the chairmen. Mr.. Bryan. on the other
hand in order to be elected, will have to
secure lag electoral votes out of the states
thus brought into dispute by the claims of
the rival chairmen If Mr. Mckinley were
conceded the seventy-iive electoral votes
admitted by the democratic committee to
be doubtful he would still have to secure
- votes in order to be elected These 30
votes would come out of the list claimed
positively for both" Mr Bryan, If he We're
granted the ~ acknowledged by Mr.. Hanna
as in doubt. would still have to secure -
votes from the states disputed by the
chairmen in order to carry the election.
1t may be assumed that in the states
claimed with doubt by Chairman Hanna
that in his mind the chances are really in
favor Of the democrats, else his claim
would be more positive. like assumption
may be made as to the states claimed bt
Chairman Jones doubtful. SO 1t is fair
to say that in the minds of the men who
have been managing the campaign, Kan
sas. Missouri, Texas. Virginia and Wash
irgton are doubtful states with the proba-
bilitieS in favor Of the democrats Like
: wise. Delaware, Illinois, Iowa and Wiscon-
sin may be put down as doubtful states
with the chances in favor of the republi-
cans.
If the states In which the chances are
tnOuSnt 10 FAVOR the republlcanS added
to the conceded Mckinley states, an cleo
toral vote of 1872 results. A similar pro-
cedure with the Bryan states gives him l:6
votes.
Respecting the list of fourteen states
claimed positively for both" it is evil
dent to those who have followed the drift
of campaign news closely that the republ-
cans claim more positively the states of
Indiana. Maryland and Minnesota. than
the others. There have been Indications of
stronger claim on the part Of democrats
to the states of California. Nebraska, North
Carolina and Tennessee than to the other
s.ates named. So far as the news that has
come from the states and the claims made
by the political managers go. it seems to

Lawyer Hired by the Day.
The Contract Was For One Year and Ex-
pired Promptly.

With the name of Rufus Lockwood
is recalled one of the most extraordi-
nary geniuses that the State of Cali
fornia ever produced. 1t is many
years now since Lockwood held sway
in the courts of San Francisco. He
was in his day perhaps the best lawyer
in the State, and it was only because
of utter indifference to pecuniary
matters that he did not leave a large
fortune behind him, says the San
Francisco Bulletin.
Lockwood went at one time to
Horace Hawkes., a very distinguished
lawyer, and the author Of the consoli.
dation act which is now In force.
Hawes had reputation for close
figuring, and Lockwood knew it. He
said: "Mr. Hawes, I'll hire myself to
you for one year from date at a salary
of $a5 a day, payable every night"
"All right" said Hawes, delighted
to engage the services of the bright
est mind III the State at so low figure
for the salary was not a great one
in those days-and the bargain was
sealed. 1t was II o'clock in the morn.
ing. But from that time on, it is said,
, Hawes never missed an opportunity
of reminding Lockwood of his bond
age. He would say, in the presence
OF others, Lockwood, 90 fetch me
that book" lockwood do this" or
'that," etc. Lockwood never SAID a
word, but did as he was hidden, and
enjoyed his triumph.
Finally it came to the day when the
day when the years engagement was
terminated. There was a most i'm
portant law suit on hand, which Lock
wood had made careful study of ;
no one in the State could possibly
have handled it as he did. Well, on
the day in question Lockwood stood
in court, an array OF law books in
front of him, and expounded his views
IN mastery fashion. Suddenly he
looked up at the clock and saw that
it was the hour of II. Closing the
book from which ne was quoting, he
turned to Hawes, who was sitting be.
side him, and said: "Mr. Hawes. q
year ago at this hour l contracted to
work for you for one year. My time
is up, the contract is cancelled and
am going"
Thus did he repay his master for
the humiliation heaped upon HIM.
Hawes was in the greatest consterna.
ton; he could not possibly take up
the thread of the case where Lock
wood had left it, and he begged and
implored him to proceed. But Lock
wood remembered, a4d he turned a
deaf ear to all his persuasions. He
kept his word; the contract had ex-
pired.

Maud Muller on a summer night
went out on her bike in the bright
moonlight. She pedaled around from
six to ten on trip that would fag the
strongest men, but her heart was
light, and her spirits gay, for it wasn't
work, twas nothing but play. Next
morning, however, she'd a pain in her
head, she was all played out and stay
ed in bed, while her mother hustled
in the kitchen below-not to ride a
wheel, but to make things go. Though
the morning was hot and she worked
by the fire, she did not collapse with
punctured tire. Alas for the girl
and the woman, see things are not
as they used to be.

Diphtheretic Germs.

A case Of the preservation of the
diphtheretic germs for over three
years, in bed lounge, is related by
the Pittsb urg Dispatch The fact
that these germs will live indefinitely
in clothing and carpets without losing
their infectious quality has long been
known to physicians. 1t is for this
reason that all cases of such contagi-
Gus diseases should be isolated in city
hospitals for the purpose. But pend
ing necessary legislation and provi-
sions for such isolation, careful disin-
fection of all premises where such dis
eases have been, under supervision of
a physician or other competent per-
son, will do much to prevent the
spread of the diseases. Burning small
quantities of sulphur in the sick room
at intervals is good measure to pre-
vent lodgment of germs in the furn-
ishings and will be sanctioned by most
physicians as an aid to treatment of
the patient.

A Raines Law for This State.

The State Liquor League will make
an aggressive campaign before the
Legislature at the coming session, and
endeavor to make several changes in

which they will contend will be an

will permit hotel keepers to serve
drinks to their guests on Sunday.
This is one of the features of the

HINT FROM INDIA.

TN A letter from India a correspondent,
writing about the hot days In that coun-
try, says: Lassitude and loss of appe-
tite are among the first evidences OF the
effect of the suns heat upon the body, and
in hot weather many persons who never
have had surstroke are dchilitated by what
might fairly be called sun fatigue, which,
although not serious, renders work of every
kind much more laborious than it would
otherwise be. The Influence or the sun
varies enormously on different individuals,
some of whom have to take special precau-
tons In order to be able to resist it.
"a spinal pad Is used by soldiers In
many tropical countries. IL arrests the
light which often works such injury. but
it is uncomfortably hot and soon becomes
objectionable from it's absorption of perSpira-

Fifty years ago Mrs. Bush became promi-
