CHANGE IN THE APPOINTMENT OF
JUDGES AND CLERKS.

In section 19, providing for the ap-
pointment Of election boards, the pro
vision Of the old law that when two
or more parties fuse they shall be held
to constitute one party in the appoint
ment of judges and clerks, is repealed !;
and the party polling the highest num-
ber Of votes gets the first Judge and
clerk; the party polling the next highest
the second judge and clerk; and the
party polling the third highest, the third
judge. Under the present law the Re
publicans will almost without exception
have one judge, the Populists one and
the Democrats one. The first clerk will
be Republican and the second either
a Popullst or a Democrat, as the case
may be.
Another important change is that re-
quiring that Mayors and Trustees shall
appoint judges and clerks upon the
recommendation of the chairmen Of the
various party central committees, II such
there be. A question has arisen whether
this should be construed to mean town
ship and city chairmen, or county chair
men, In practice 1t will be found much
more convenient for the township and
city committeeman to recommend di-
reCtly to the Trustees and Mayors of
their townships and cities, without the
fOrmality of reporting to a distant
county county chairman, to be by him
reported back to appointing official;
though If there is any clash the de-
Cision of the State officials that it is
county Chairmen that are meant would
have 10 govern

the ballot will not be haphazard, as here
tofore, but the party that cast the high,
est vote at the last election will have
the first place, the one casting the next
highest the second place, and so on. II
there are tickets by petition, they will
come after the party tickets, the one
having the most petitioners first, and
SO on. The last ticket will be the blank,
in which the scratcher will have to write
if none of the candidates whose names
are printed suit him.
In the townships the voter who has
heretofore found whole string Of can
didates for road overseer to select from,
will now find only a blank space in
which to write the name Of some Candi-
date residing in his own district The
law expressly forbids the printing Of the
names Of candidates for this office on
the ticket, and makes 1t a misdemeanOr
for any voter to vote for a candidate
who does not reside in his own district
In marking his ticket, the voter must
use black lead pencil. If the ballot is
marked with ink, or with a pencil Of
any other color than black, 1t cannot be
counted
When the voter hands his ticket to
the judge, he will notice that the Judge
clips off his poll-list number on the cor
ner of the ticket before depOsiting it
in the ballot-box.

The Platteville News says: Sher-
if Bennett, Of Darlington. came up
last Friday night to arrest Melvin
Cook. Of the bad Lands. He got
Deputy Sheriff Fawcett to go with
him, and while driving through the
territory familiary known as the re-
sort furnishing two thirds of the dew
ilment perpet rated in the county,
they were earnestly discussing de-
tails OF the proposed captare, and the
alleged reports that Satan had made
his appearance there several times,
when all of a sudden the front wheels
OF the buggy raised straight up, there
was elatter of cloven hoofs and a
below as though coming from the
bowels of the earth. Bennett fell cut
on one side and Fawcett on the other
but instead OF being smitten by the
evil spirit or being murdered by the
natives they found they had driven
over steer and that the animal had
gotten up between the wheels.

''For five weeks l lived on cold

who suffered terribly from indiges-

He could hardly keep anything on
his stomach. What stayed wasn't
properly digested and gave him ter

This is not an uncommon case.
Dyspeptics don't get enough nourish-

They eat enough but they don't di-

turns into poison. Ii this keeps on
there's no telling what disease they
