Want the Voting System Changed.

As the time for the reassembling of the
Legislature approaches there seems to be o
determined effort being made to abolish
the Australian ballot system OF voting.
Notwithstanding that 1t has been In vogue
in this State for the past six years, large
per cent. Of the voters are not conversant
with its provisions. Everybody knows how
to vote straight ticket. but II they desire
to vote for some of the nominees of each
party they become confused and either
spoil their tickeJ or have to call In the vo.
ters' assistant to help them to fix their
ballot. Quite number do not wish to
thus show their ignorance and simply vote
their party ticket.
This system has been the most corrupt
ever introduced in this State, as 1t was
very easy for the voters assistants to seq
how the doubtful class voted and by the
use of signs communicate to the workers
on the outside. The new Constitution has
abolished the voters assistants.
The plan proposed by, the opponents OF
the present voting syssein is that there
shall be no. change In anything but the
printing Of the bnllots. Inplaco Of them
being all on ono sheet, each party shall
be allowed to print their own tickets. By
this arrangement voter could fix his
ballot betere he entered the voting place
and vote for any person he desired

NO PULLMAN WILL CONTEST.
Sons VIII Not Fight For Share of
the Fortune.

sons Will NOG Tlkut TUT 5hhio Va
the Fortune.
Chicago, Oct. 29.-There Is to be no
contest of the Pullman will. SO both
sons of the dead palace car magnate
declare Said George M. Pullman:
1.-THE idea of wishing to contest my
fathers will has never entered my
head, nor my brothers head, either.
No steps have been taken and none
will be taken to break the will. My
relations with the Pullman Car COM
pany and with my family are most
cordial. l am In the company In the
capacity Of an assistant district SUPER
intendent, and expect to remain with
the company"
Referring to the gossip that coupled
his name with that of Miss Felicite
Ogelsby, in the character of rejected
suitor. Mr.. Pullman said: Our rela-
tions are exactly the same as they have
always been. So far as my brother
Sanger's engagement is concerned, that
is an affair that concerns him. I do
not choose to interfere in his business"
Friends of Miss Lynne Fernald say
the engagement between that young
lady and Mr.. Sanger Pullman has been
broken off.
In terms as explicit as those em-
ployed by his brother Sanger Pullman
contradicted the rumor that his fathers
will was to be attacked in the courts.
An authoritative denial Of the same
rumor was also made by Mrs. Pullman.

We miss her from the circle,
Where her presence ever graced.
Where the sunlight Of her tender heart
Can never be replaced.
And fond memory still shall linger,
or those glad and happy days.
Ere deaths angel called our sister,
TO the land Of love and praise.
Nsy don't weep for her now. sisters,
That she's laid beneath the sod.
For her spirit dwells in glory
She has found her peace with God,
In that blissful heavenly region,
With tho whiterobed angel throng,
In that sanity choir she's singing
Round the throne the Saviors song
A FRIEND.
