How to Vote.

The voter will have less trouble with
his ticket this year than usual under
the new system of voting. He will be
handed by the judges n ballot for
each ticket. Tho voter will take all
the ballots handed him into the booth
and then select the m he wishes to
vote. If he wants to scratch a name
he will find a blank space under it to
write IN his choice, should he wish to
vote for another in place of the one
scratched. In writing in a name he
should write the name as he finds it
on the other ballot. 1t will be suf-
ficient to write the name with the
candidates initials, but it will be best
to write the full name as found on the
other ballot.
After the ballot is prepared he will
fold it so as to show the name or
initials of the judge and hand back to
the Judge to be deposited in the box
and will also return to the Judge the
ballots not used. The matter is sim
pie and the voter, by exercising a lit
tie care, will always get his ballot in
20 o. to insure it's being counted. You
can make no mistake in voting the
regular Democratic ticket straight.
Don't vote the one headed Social
Democracy,

q written expression of the purpose of
the United States to take the entire
group of Philippine Islands and to
assume such proportion OF the Philip
pine debt as has been spent for the
benefit of the islands or their inhabi-
tants in public works, improvements
and permanent betterments.
1t was also set forth that the United
States would not assume any part of

incurred by Spain for the furtherance
of military o. naval operations to quell

ing. He arrived at the Foreign Office
in q closed carriage with his colleagues
shortly after the Americans reached
the meeting place.

sioners confronted each other across

COLUMBIA, Mo-, Oct. 29.-While
John Angel, a Boone county farmer,
was driving yesterday into Centralia,
20 miles east of here, he met two

gave his name as Clement Griffith and
said he was looking for a horse TO buy.
Angel told Griffith that if he would
come out to his farm he would show
him some horses.
"Will you take this for the horse
you are driving?n asked Griffith, hold
ing out a pocketbook. There was a
bill sticking out of one corner on
which Angel saw the figure ten. The
sale was made and the horse was led
away by the stranger. Angel walked
into Centralia to get another horse,
leaving the buggy in the road. When
he drew out the bill he discovered that
