ing be addei to tho report:
Provided, however, that such registration
may be corrected as hereinafter provided,
at any time prior to The day Of holding the
election.
Mr.. 6pruancs explained that he re-
.ferred TO registration oIlicers in general
lie said il was desirable to have an
appeal TO some judicial officer. The
amendment was adopted.
The section giving the right OF
appeal from registration officers to the
resilient judge who has the right TO
make CORRECTIONS was tal:en up, for
consideration. Mr. Martin spoke on
the matter as follows;
This Is broad provision, a very
bread one, for it makes the resident
judge the board of registration. He
can take from and add W the lists. He
could take all tho Democrats or all OF
tho Republicans OFT the registration
lists between the registration and
election day. What vera the reasons

MIR. Spruance replied: "In every
civilized community it ID necessary 10

say, is very remote. Rpgistration

BUS LINE FOR CHICAGO.
Fare of Three Cents Decided Upon
London Style.

Chicago, Nov. 13.-This city is to have
an omnibus line to be run in cOmpeti-
ton with the surface street car lines in
the district lying between North ave-
nue., Ashland avenue, Twelfth street
and the lake.
During the summer double decked
busses will be run, while during the win
ter season specially designed vehicles
will be put in service. In cold weather
the busses will be heated and every con
venience furnished to afford comfort to
passengers. The system will be arrang-
ed after the general plan of the bus
lines now importation in New York and
London.
A fare of cents will be charged for a
continuous ride on the line from one
end of the route to another. The COM
enterprise will be known as the Citi-
zens' bus line, and will begin with a
capital stock of 100000. The company
will have some of its busses running
on Chicago streets by December 1.
Promoters of the enterprise are New
York and London capitalists, now in
tereSted in bus lines in those cities.
officers of the company believe the plan
will reap a, rich return on the amount
invested. They figure that passengers
can be transported within the described
district for a Scent fare with profit.
They propose to parallel every import
ant street car line in the city.
It is a generally admitted fact that
the profitable business in intramural
transportation is what is known as
short "hauls" The business of the
the "shot haul travel. The incorpOr-
alton papers of the new company will
be filed at Springfield for record with
in a few days.

HEAVY KLONDIKE DUTY.
Canadian Officials Assess 400 Outfits
and Collie ct $4,000.

Skaguay, Alaska, Nov 2, per steamer
Farallon, Seattle, Wn, Nov. 13.-The
Canadian government has recalled
number of custom officials who have
been stationed at TagiSh house, be-
tween Lakes Bennett and Tagish, and
the British Columbia authorities have
also reduced the number of provincial
police who have been stationed at Lake
Bennett and Tagish house since the
great rush to the KIondike country be-
gan last July.
Deputy Collector of Customs Fred w.
Davey, who has just returned from
Tagish said to the Associated Press cor
respondent that duties had been col
dred outfits. Each outfit represented
from four to seven men. The duty col
lected on each outfit averaged $50 and
the total amount collected aggregated
$25 900.
Duties were levied upon everything
belonging or in any way appertaining
to an outfit, even the clothes that a
man wore not being exempted. Several
cases of attempted smuggling were de-
tected, the goods being cOnfiscated in
most instances.

hundreds of people will be caught in
the ice and forced to go into winter
quarters where they may happen to be
when the ice surrounds them.
Rich gold discoveries are reported on
the McClintOck river and branches of
the Hootalinqua, some running as high
as $40 a day to the man. There has
been quite a rush to the new fields
which will be prospected during the

TO THE ARCTIC SEA.
U. s. Revenue Cutter Bear to
Be Ready to Relieve Ice
Bound Whalers.

Seattle. Wash. Nov. 13.-Captatn Tuttle
of the United States revenue cutter Bear
expects to receive orders to proceed to the
Arctic ocean and endeavor to relieve the
ice-imprisoned whaling fleet. He receiv-
ed the following telegram today from the
treasury department:
Can beef, rice, beans, canned goods
and hard bread be obtained in large guam
titles in Seattle? Hurry repairs on the
Bear"
Captain Tuttle sent the following terse
answer:
Supplies can be bought here in any
quantities"
1t is expected that the Bear will be
ready to start the latter part of next
week. She will carry one hundred tons
of provisions. Captain Tuttle said today:
Il do not see of what avail my going
will be- as there is hardly a remote
chance of the best planned expedition
reaching the whalers until next August.
As / have said, think the whalers will
be able to pinch through on short ra-
lions. I shall take a years provisions Tor
the Bear, as we might ourselves be
caught in the ice. In fact, look for that
very thing to happen"
Captain Tuttle did not think that the
proposition to sled relief parties in by
reindeer and dogs would be practicable.
Leaving here, the Bear will probably go
direct to Unalaska and thence proceed
up the straits between Univak and St.
Matthews island until stopped by ice.

WASTE OF NATURAL GAS
To Be Stopped in Indiana by the
State Officials.

Indianapolis, Nov. 13.-The enormous
and Willful waste of natural gas by oil
men in the gas belt of this state is eX-
citing widespread alarm among manu-
facturers and consumers generally, and
the governor has called a conference OF
the state gas inspector, the attorney
general and other officials for tOmOr-
row, looking to heroic work in OppOs1-
ton.
The oil men care nothing for gas; in
fact it is to them a hindrance, and
when a gas vein is struck, as rule, 1t
is suffered to spend it's force in the
open air. after which the oil is develop
ed. This awful waste has been going
on uninterruptedly, the inspector, in
report submitted to the gOvernOr.shOw-
ing where 63 individuals and corpora
tions have been allowing gas to go to
waste for months without making the
slightest effort to put it to practical
use. One reason why the inspector has
not been successful in checking it is be-
cause of the slow process of the courts,
the first decision in a minor court up
holding the constitutiOnality of the So
called anti-waste law, having been Sc
cured in Madison county but a few
days ago
The attorney general is willing to
take hold of the matter at once, and
not only press the Madison county case
to the supreme court, but proceed by

inform you that, notwithstanding this
large difference in cash received, we

and that [ now have $4,000 ready to

Colonel Jones offered a resolution
that the committee pay to the state
treasurer on November 9th $4,000, on
December 1st $40, 900 and on January 1,
1898, S25, 600.
Mr.. Williams did not think the board
would be justified in adopting that. If
the money was on hand he was willing
to turn it over to the state treasurer,
but promises of payments should not
be made unless they could be kept.
At the suggestion of Mr.. Williams
Colonel Jones withdrew his resolution.

People often become afflicted with

thus a disease that can in every case

THE UNITED STATES COURT.
Judge speer VIII Take Up Only the
Jail Gases at This Session.

Judge Speer Will Take Up Only the
Jail Gases at This Session.
II will be a brief session of the United
States court according to the way the
work started off yesterday.
Judge Speer arrived in the city on the
early mo ming train from his summer
home at Mount Airy, and the court was
convened at 10 o'clock. The grand jury
was sworn and Mr.. w. c. AskeW was APP
pointed foreman Judge Speef delivered
brief charge TO the jury, outlining in
way the work that is before 1t. He sta
ted that 1t would be the purpose of the
court to try only such cases as are neces-
sary to be tried at this time to free the
Jail He stated, however, that the grand
Jury might go further than the court and
the other jurles. and might proceed with
whatever investigations 1t saw proper and
deemed needful.
The court stated that the failure OF con-
gress to make appropriation for the ex-
penses of conducting the court the past
term had been the reason why there was
no session, as he deemed Il impraeticable,
and not I'm keeping with the dignity of the
United States government to conduct the
court on credit. This remark caused some
laughter The judge stated that he was
glad 20 observe that a change had been
made in the selection OF the jury In that

stated that the juries In the past were
most capable and had rendered excellent
service, but he did not think that be-
cause the older men were willing TO serve
that II was exactly right 20 Impose this
duty Of patriotism upon them every time.
