GET READY, FRIENDS.

Governor Evans has instructed
the County Board Of Registration tc
require the exhibition Of poll tax
receipts by those applying for regis
tration certificates. The new con.
stitution requires the exhibition Of
the tax receipt at the time Of voting
and the Act requires it to be cxhib-
tied on application to register. Look
up your tax receipt, and if it is lost
and cannot be found go to the County
Treasurer and get duplicate, and
go and register. When you get
your certificate pin it and your tax
receipt together and put them away
where they can be found, for one
will be useless without the other
Your old certificate is no good--rc-
member that, and don't consider the
time, annoyance, trouble and cost il
getting another or knowing the rea-
son why. Failure now may cause
regret.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 15.-In re-
spouse to call recently issued by Secre-
tary w. c. Markham of the National
Wool Growers Association of the United
States meeting was held this afternoon
in the Ebbitt House fol- the purpose of
considering the memorial 10 Congress
adopted by the Farmers National Con-
gress which held its session at Indianapo-
lis in November. The memorial asks that
the Dinghy tariff bill be amended so that
prohibitory duties shall be i'm posed on
wooden rags, shoddy, etc.. also that wool
and WOODEN manufactures shall not re-
main i'll custom-houses more than ten
days. President William Lawrence of
Bellefontaine, Ohio, called the conven-
ton to order and explained the object of
the meeting. The meeting adjourned
until tomorrow morning. There was
small attendance, owing to the fact that a
good many mem bers had not yet arrived
in the city.

CABINET GOSSIP
ON The INCREASE
Given an Impetus by the
Visit of Mr.. Hanna
to Canton.
1t Is Certain, However, That
Port olioS Have Neither Been
offered Nor Declined.
Two California Visitors TO M jor NJ
Kinley Urge James A. Waymire
for a Place.

CANTON, OHIO, Dec. 15.-The visit of
Chairman Hanna to Canton to-day has
not in any way changed the Cabinet stu
alton so far as The public knows. There
is still ample reason to believe that no
portfolio has been rendered to single
person and that consequently none has
been accepted or declined. Mr. Hanna
has not determined upon his own course.
He talked for an hour or more with Major
Mckinley about his trip TO the East and
acquainted him with what had been done
in the way of arranging for the inaugural
ceremonies Mr.. Hanna returned to
Cleveland late this afternoon.
Charles G. Dawes of Chicago arrived
here this morning and will remain a guest
at the Mckinley residence until to-
morrow. When Major Mckinley goes to
Chicago the last of the week he expects to
spend at least one day with Mr.. and Mrs.
Dawes at their suburban home at
Evanston.
Lieutenant Governor Saxton of New
York lunched with Major Mckinley and
had a conference with him. The sltua-
ton in New York was discussed. Mr..
Saxton said later: "There is no doubt
about the election of Mr.. Plat to the Sem
ate. He will have large majority of the
Republican votes in the Legislature. l
cannot say that New York is united on
any one for the Cabinet at present There
are number of men who would make
excellent Cabinet officers. So far as
know, there is no popular movement in
favor of any of them. Mr.. Morton is out
of the race"
I ~0Ii
tics with Major Mckinley to- day.
1.-The trouble with Kentucky is that we
have too many good Republicans who
want to 60 to the Senate to succeed Black
burn. Governor Bradley ought to 20 to
the Senate because he has. in my opinion,
done the most for the party; but what is
most important is that some Republican
should go.
major Mckinley impressed upon me
the idea that it would not at all do to lose
that seat in the Senate when we have
such good chance TO get it. His notion
is that we ought to sink all personal am
bition and animosity for the personal
good of the party and country"
G.. o. Burton OF San Francisco and DR.. J.
T. McLain of Alameda, Cal, talked of
Cabinet possibilities on the Pacific Slope
with Major Mckinley. DR.. McLain urged
Judge J. A. Waymire with great earnest
ness and declared that his appointment to
the Cabinet would be good thing for the
party and country.
Among other callers were ex-Lieutenant-
Governor Lyon OF Ohio, who wanted to be
Minister to Bolivia; ex-Secretary of State
D. J. Ryan of Columbus, Ohio, and ex-
Lieutenant- Governor Willcum bach OF In
diana.

the rate CHARGED by the Government was
cent pound. In competition with the
Government for this class of business,
Loud said, the express companies were
getting the short haul; and the Govern
ment the long haul within radius OF 500
miles, the express companies get the bust
ness, charging l cent pound; over that
distance the publishers dump their load
upon the Government mail for transmits
sion. AND it had been carried, Loud said,
at an expense of 81 So pound.
Continuing, Loud said that the chief
opposition to the bill would be directly
toward the sample-copy matter. He con-
sidered the abuses arising under that
privilege as more serious than the serial
publication abuse. Many newspapers, he
said, were 10th to surrender the privileges
they possess under the present law. The
opposition, he said, would come from
publications whose existence was made
possible by the "sample-copy" features
of the present law.
Without action the committee rose. and
at 4:30 o'clock the House, or motion of
Loud, adjourned.

MRS. c0URTERAY rs INSANE.
General Cuttings Daughter. to Have a
Guardian appointed for Her Per-
son and Estate.

NEW YORK, N. Y, Dec. 15-An in
quiry was made by sheriff's jury and DR..
Austin Flint as commissioner to-day into
t sanity of Mrs. Isabella Cutting Courte-
nay. an alleged incompetent. The ques-
ton of the value of her property was also
inquired into.
MR.. Courtenay is the daughter of Gen.
era! Cutting of San Francisco. She was
married in 1891 TO Harold Courtenay, an
actor, and they went at once to Italy.
There, six weeks after their marriage,
Mrs. Courtenay showed signs of insanity,
and was placed by her husband in a pri-
vate asylum.
General Cutting and his wife went to
the Isle of Wight, England, when they
heard of their daughters plight, and an
arrangement was afterward entered into
between them and Courtenay bv which,
for the consideration of paying him $125 a
month he was to give up all claim to his
wife. She was then taken to the Isle of
Wight and placed in the custody of her
aunt, Mary Patterson, where she is at
present.
The testimony of Mrs. Courtenay's
mother and father and the physicians,
taken before the United States Consul at
Southampton. was read TO the jury. The
jury found that Mrs. Courtenay was in
sane,
