The new ballot law of Nebraska,
passed last winter by the legislature, is
causing some confusion, as it revolu-
tonnes the manner Of arranging the
ballots The tickets will be printed in
separate columns, with a pictorial de-
vice at the head, and not single col

arranged alphabetically, as heretofore.
The choice of judges and clerks of cleo
tion is also vested in the county judges.
The changes are so radical as to create
a fear Of trouble at the November cleo

One OF the most i'm portant results OF
the Egyptian expedition mp the Nile
has been the discovery that by sinking
deep wells water may be found in the
desert in many places where its pres
ence had not been suspected. Not only
will this give secure basis for mill
tary operations. but it is possible that
water may be found in sufficient guam
titles to serve for irrigation. in which
case tire Sahara may be turned into q

no material sterility OF the soil. but
simply from lack OF moisture.
