DON'T LIKE THE BALLOTS.
Populist Objection to an Arrang ement
of the Official Ballot

a Topeka printing establishment has
prepared plates Of the official ballot so
far as the state officers and the presi-
Dental electors. and has struck lot OF
sample ballots off Of them and is send
ing the samples out over the state. The
object is to advertise their plates On
the samples sent out the tickets are ar
ranged in the following order. J. Re
publican; ?, middle of the road Populists 8
3, Nationalist; 4. Democratic; g. Ma
tionaI Democratic; s, Peoples Party; .
Prohibition; g. Independent.
Some Of the POpulists think that such
an arrangement would be very unfair.
Bob Semple said;
Two years ago the Secretary Of
state called the different committees to
send representatives to his office and it
was agreed which way the tickets
should be arranged on the ballot. This
year no such arrangement was made
It seems to me that the three largest
tickets should be placed at the nrst or
the ticket. SO that the majority of the
voters of the state can vote without
having to go to the trouble of hunting
around on the ticket to find where to
make their marks. The county clerks
can use their discretion in arranging
the tickets on the ballot. but in many OF
the counties this sample viii be used
for a copy and it VIII tend to confuse
voters.
Another thing don't think is right,
and that is that over the electors.
names on both the middle of the road
ticket and the regular Peoples Party

are printed. and this viii have the ten
dency to confuse the voters
Captain Slower said while we have
nothing to do with the matter at all as
it is, some printing house that is send
ing these samples out to advertise their
plates 1 understand that the plates are
made so that they. can be sawed along
any of the rule lines between the tick
cts and any arrangement of the ticket
can be made that the county clerks II

in which the ticket shall come on the
ballot and of course they viii probably

Shortly after O'Clock the little city

hard times to the producers of wealth
and that any body who believed in hard
times could vote the Republican ticket.

Cincinnati O., Oct 13.-A special to
the Times Star from Lexington, KY
says:
1t is stated here today on what seems
to be reliable authority that Bronston
and ex-Chairman Of the Democratic
committee DarroW Carroll are en- the
verge of a duel
The trouble grew out Of the late
Frankfort convention when Carroll
caused BronstOn's 5 defeat by throwing
his strength to Evan Settle of owen
county. 1t seems that BrOnstOn had
counted on Carroll to nominate him.
and it was made when his opponent
was benefited by the withdrawal OF
the Henry county man The report says
that BronstOn cursed Carroll rOundly
and that Carroll cody told him to
think over the matter and apologize for
the remarks. BTonstOn proposed to
settle them in a personal encounter,
but Carroll refused and told him that
he should have time in which to take
back his Objectionable language
Letters have passed between them
but it is stated by those close to
Bronston that he does not intend to re-
tract what he said and they see no
way out of the trouble except in ac-
cordance with the code adopted in SET
Ting such grievances. Both are brave
men. and if the field is resOrted to as

he did so the board slipped throwing
him into the water. He cried for
help and had gone down the second
time when the little boys on the bank
grabbed hoe handle and reached it
to him at the same time telling him
to catch hold of it. He did so and
they pulled him out more dead than
alive. The little fellows then secur-
ed wheelbarrow and wheeled him to
the barn of Mrs. Wightman, where
they placed him on the hay and then
ran to the home Of Mrs. Hays who
lives near. After telling her the cir
cumStances she went and got him,
took him to her home, removed his
clothes and put him to bed. Walter
Taylor came to town and notified Mr..
COrder. He secured buggy and
drove to the home of Mrs. Hays and
got his son. The water near the dam
is quite deep and Mr.. Corder should
congratulate himself that his boy was
not drowned.

Don't Worry.

There is one sin which is every.
where, and ,by everybody is under
estimated, and quite too much over
looked in valuations of character.
1t is the sin of frettlng. Its as COM
mon as air, as speech; so common
that unless it rises above its usual
monotone. we do not even observe it.
Watch an ordinary coming together
Of people and we see how many min.
utes it will be before somebody frets
that is, makes more or less COM
planning statements of something or
other, which most probably every one
in the room or car, or on the street
corner knew before, and which most
probably nobody can help. Why say
anything about it?
1t is cold; it is hot; it is wet; it is
dry; somebody has broken an appoint
ment, ill-cOOked a meal; stupidity or
bad faith somewhere has resulted in
discomfort. There are plenty Of
things to fret about. 1t is simply
astonishing how much annoyance and
discomfort may be found in the course
of every days living, even at the
simplest, if one keeps sharp eye on
that side Of things. Even Holy Writ
says we are born to trouble as the
sparks to fly upward.
But even to the sparks flying up
ward in the blacklist smoke there is a
blue sky above, and the less time they
waste on the road the sooner they will
reach it. Fretting on the road is at
all times wasted.
Not only does fretting worry US and
those aronnd US, but remember, moth
ing brings the wrinkles more quickly
