Marking Missouri Ballots.

When the supreme courthanded down
. decision in the case Of Hope VS..
Flentge, from Cape Girardeau county,
1t was a decision of great interest.
The vital point in the case was upon the
marking Of certain votes. In his opinion Judge
CAN'T says: The law says he shall cross out
the groups he does not wish to vote, and directs
how he shall do it To hold such language mere
ty directory would Illustrate the essential prin-
ciple Of the law. Contemporaneous construction
has been that the judges reject all ballots on
which two groups remain unscratched, and
such. in our opinion, is the evident meaning Of
the law. The force of this contention is sought
to be broken, however, by the fact that the In
dependent group in this case contained only
one name We hold that a group In
this state consists as well as of one
name. under a distinct caption, as it
would II there had been o name for each office
on the ballot, and if we would reject the latter
We must the former. We hold that 4s ballots,
upon which the independent and republican
groups remained increased, erased, were
properly rejected by the circuit court.
As already said, the statute is per-
emptory, and the entire ballot is
rendered illegal and void when the plain, posi-
tive requirements Of the law are disregarded by
the others, as it was in the case OF these IS bal
lots, and its illegality is not confined to the

Has Troubles in His Old Age.

Judge Charles Ford, a respected citi.
zen of Metz township, Vernon county,
is charged with bigamy, and an appli-
cation made for his arrest.
Some three years ago the Judge married the
Widow Meeks, giving her a deed to 40 acres Of
land as an inducement to marry him. They
lived together but 4 short time, when he
brought suit to recall the deed, claiming he
gave her by mistake 40 acres too much
land. She then brought suit for divorce.
but the suit was dismissed. In the
trials Judge Ford testified that his wife
poured water in his boots at night while he
slept. and in other ways made his life a burden.
She swore that he was in the habit Of taking a
butcher knife to bed with him.
Recently the judge was granted a decree Of
divorce in the Bates circuit court, and the
other day he returned from Car
lysle county, Kentucky, with o
new wife, a lady OF about go years. In the
meantime the St Joseph wife applied to the
judge OF the Bates circuit court to have the
decree set aside, and the decree was set aside.

bigamy rather complicated affairs. The judge
