R. w. Blues Speech.

Ex-CongreSsman'at -large Blue war
here Tuesday and made q speech al
the court house. Owing to the rain
storm not many were in from the
country. We were unable to attend
but figure out his speech as being
made upon just about tho following
line:
"Fellow citizens: We are now in
the midst Of the greatest boom bust
ness circles have ever known. And
it is all owing to the fact that we are
living under a republican president
and the Dingley bill. Or course you
all know that Dlngley hardly knew
his Bill, but the fact that Mr. Mo
Kinley signed "a bill that is not at all
like the one we wanted is OF itself
enough to put the country on the
high road to prosperity, If you peo-
pie raised cotton Instead of wheat
1 would make you another kind OF a
speech. My speeches for wheat
growing countries are different from
the kind / make to cotton growers,
for you should know that cotton is at
the lowest price ever known.
The silver question is dead. Aw.
full dead. The crazy demo. pops talk
about ratio of 16 to l. They want
to pay their debts with a deprecated
currency. Wolcott told the English
people the other day that ratio Of
15t to l was the right one He went
over to France, with the proposition
and France was willing, but England
would not egree to Wolcot's idea,
and so We must stick to the gold
standard. Mr.. Mckinley told VOL.
colt that the proper ratio was ISL to
l, So that il 1t wasn't for the honest
Britisher the people Of this nation
would have to take a deprecated
currency. England is of on free
trade bat solid on money; Mckinley
is all right on protection but wrong
on money. OF course 15t to l 10 more
firtism than 16 to l, but Mckinley
wants 15t to /, 80 it would be wrong
for this government TO allow the free
silver forces to run this government
for they would ruin The country"
Mr. Blue is quite an elC qnent talk

The slaughter Of diseased cattle at
the Agricultural College last week
demonstrated TINT the ANIMALS re.
spending to the test were badly af.
fected with tuberculosis. II was also
shown that the tests are to be relied
on. The work was conducted by DR..
Law, Of Cornell Univerity, New York,
the best authority on diseases Of do
mestic animals in this country. He
was assisted by DR.. Geddis, special
expert from the the government Bu-
reau Of Animal Industry. A large
number Of veterinarians from various
parts OF the west attended. All were
agreed that the animals should be
slaughtered and that no possible good
purpose could be served by allowing
them to live and that delay meant
danger OF infection Of healthy ami
mails. No commercial gain could
accrue as it be criminal to sell the
infected stock and thus spread the
disease. The slaughter was witnessed
by thousand people, most Of whom
were farmers. Many Of these were
quite skeptlcal before the slaughter
began. The animals affected showed
no outward signs Of the disease but
when they we're killed everyone pres.
ent was convinced that 1t would be a
crims to allow the animals to live and
spread the disease and that the popu-
list board of regents acted wisely in
promptly killing every diseased ami
NAL and wiping out the disease. The
stock not infected will soon be sold
and in it's place dairy cows will be
bought and a dairy school will be
opened. The idea of the regents
seems to be that more benefits will
accrue to the students by teaching
dairying than by course Of training
In the raising OF thoroughbred cattle
so the change will be made.

New Ballot Regulations.

People who vote this fall will do 30
under new condition. The old cleo.
ton law was changed in many par.
ticulars by the last legislature and
this will be the first election under
the new law.
In the first place The cross mark
will be at the rlgh. of the name TO be
voted for instead of on the left as
heretofore. This will make no end
OF trouble for thouRhtless or ignor.
ant voters. The man who has been
in the habit Of making cross mark
at the left OF those for whom he votes
will, il he is not careful, put the mark
in the wrong place and vote for some
one he does not wish to. The party
workers are busy instructing their
followers in this particular, but il
will be a year or two before they get
used to the system.
AS far as the ballot aud polling
place is concerned, this ia the only
chsnge; The new law provides that
when q voter applies for a ballot his
number as it appears on the poll
book must be- marked IN ink on one
corner OF the ballot. After the ballot
is marked IN the booth and the voter
hands 1t back to the Judge he clips
of the number with q pair OF scissors.
The number is cut of 90 that there
may be no means OF identifying the
man who cast the ballot. He is given
a number on the poll book, and if the
number on the ballot we're not de-
stoyed it would be an easy matter to
dnd out for whom the man had voted.
Another change is The manner OF
choosing judges and clerks in cities
OF the first GLASS; Heretofore thu
commissioner OF elections has made
up the election boards and has put on
whom he pleased But under the
new law the Chairmen Of the various
central committees name The Judges
and clerks and the commissioner has
little to do with 1t except to make the
acts Of the chaiEmen official.
The chairman Of the party casting
the highest vote at the proceeding
election names a Judge and a clerk,
the chairman Of the committee whose
party cast the second highest number
of votes names a judge and clerk
and the third party in the race is al
lowed to name the remaining Judge.
