were chosen as officers of Company "M"
Captain, John G.. Capron; First lieuten
ant, Claude Fish; Second lieutenant
Charles Fogle; Orderly sergeant, Will

Orderly sergeant of company is one OF
the most important positions in a COM

judgement, as we'll as ability, and Ser

NO STAMPING TOBE DONE.
A Cross Must BE Made Instead With q
Blue Pencil.

A Cross Must Be Made Instead With a
Blue Pencil.
1t is generally known that the last
legislature changed the election law
somewhat, one of the changes being
the substitution of blue pencil for a
stamp. The new law also provides
that circle one and one-half inches
in dlamenter shall be placed at the top
of each ticket and shall contain with
in it the party device. The law plain
ly states that to vote straight ticket
a cross should be made within this cir
Gle and nowhere else. The law also
clearly states that to vote a mixed
ticket cross must be made within the
square at the left of the name of each
candidate the vote wishes to vote for.
The law says a cross must be used. a
straight mark will not suffice. When
ever the election board finds any mark
other than cross, either in large Cir
Gle or in the large square, it must regard
it as distinguishing mark and throw
such ballots out when it comes to count.

ing the army, who lately returned
from a trip to Cleveland, Buffalo
and New York, says he was greatly
impressed by the display of patriot
ism in the cities he visited. There
was a general disposition, he
thought, among all classes to sup
port the president in any step he
might take to settle the differences
with Spain. The army, he said,
was thoroughly equipped in every
particular to move at short notice,
being so concentrated at the princi-
pal posts that it can be transferred
to any desired point without delay.

Governor Mount was in communica-
ton Friday with Senator Fairbanks
Washington with regard to the rumor
that Brlgadier Gen Mckee will be re-
placed as commander OF the brigade by
Lieut.. Col. Lawton of the regular army.
The governor was awaiting a favorable
response TO his kilograms urging that
Gen. Mckee be retained. lie received
such response, but refrained from Civ
ing out When asked expressly as to
TO what he knew on that point; he said:
"My advices from Washington are that
everything looks favorable.
Just before he made this declaration
he was in conference with Gen. Mckee.
The latter was asked what information
be had. He replied slowly and deliber-
ately:
81 have no information on that point
whatever, except what receive from
the newspapers"
1t was understood that the comman-
der of the troops and the governor were
discussing the question of closing the
camp on Sunday. 1t was given out as
an authoritative by the governors sec
rotary that no conclusion was reached.
After Gen. McKees visit it was an
nounced that all men who are rejected
from the service on medical examina-
ton by application to Gen. Mckee for
al order on the adjutant general will
receive transportation home from
the latter. 1t is feared that this cour-
tesy comes little too late as most of
the rejected men are all home now.

The United States has fought five
wars in the S. years since the Dec
laration of Independence. In each
one we have triuuphed. In that
period England has fought six wars
not including conflicts with saw
ages in India and in Africa, and she
has lost two-one with Germany
and one with the allied powers.
Prussia in the same period has lost
two out of five wars. Austria has
lost two and gained two. Spain
has lost every war she has underta-
ken in that period-unless her ten
years warfare with Cuba may be
called victorious.
1t is reported that some enterpris-
ing individuals, said to be from Gin
cinnati, have been working the old
negroes of Chattanooga and viclni-
ity recently on the ex-slave pension
racket, and that they got away from
the city just in time to escape ar
rest. They have been collecting rs
and so cent pieces or what they
could get from old slaves, on the
plea that it was to be used in "buy-
ing" congressman to vote for the
''ex-slave pension law" which, they
explain, it pending and needing a
few notes to become a law. Sew
eral hundred dollars were obtained
from these innocent old negroes. in
this way before the fraud was dis
covered.

A CONSPIRACY.

A young man of some prominence
in financial circles in western city
made trip to Europe few years ago
1t was his first journey abroad, and
the preparations for it naturally ab'
sorbed bis time and filled his thoughts
for several weeks beforehand. So pre-
occupied was he that he started east
ward with nothing to wear on his head
but travelling cap, leaving his best
hat hanging on hook in his office.
He was gone three months. After
returning home and resting day OF
two he came down to the office to re-
sumo his daily toll. The first thing
that struck his eye was his hat, hang,
ing where he had left it.
"That's a stroke of luck" he said
"I was afraid had lost it. see it
hasn't been disturbed in all these
months. I shall just wear that hat
again."
He took it down from the hook, dus.
ted it, and put it on his head. That
is, he tried to put it on. 1t was about
His Office associates crowded around
him.
"That's the usual effect" they said
ga mans first trip to Europe always
swells his head. Another one will re-
duce it to it's normal size. Better hang
the hat back on the hook. You'll
have no use for it this year, anyhow
We had hoped differently in your case,
but you seem to be an ordinary Amerl'
traveller nothing more and nothing
less. It's pity, but there is no help
for it,"
As the easiest way out of the affair
the young fnancier hung the hat on
the hook again, and sent out for box
of cigars.
A week or two later, however, some
one in the Office casually took the hat
down, turned back the sweatband, and
disclosed piece of lamp-wick about
eight inches long. 1t had been put
there on the day the owner of the hat
started for Europe, and the discovery
of it cost him another box of cigars.
