The State Figures Complete With the
Exception GH tho Votes Of the
Absent Soldier Boys.
BOYLE LEADS THE TICKET.

After several weeks Of waiting the
official totals on State officers and Con-
gressman are now ready for the public.
The oficial abstracts from some Of the
counties have been very slow In getting
In owing to the misunderstanding on
the part Of county boards as to the date
for the canvas. The law provides that
this canvas shall be made on the first
Friday after the election. The law au-
thorizing soldiers to vote provides that
where soldier voters are absent from the
State the State canvas shall be made on
the second Monday in December instead
Of on the Monday preceding the last
Wednesday in November. Then after
canvassing the soldier vote on State off,
GERS including the Representatives, the
vote shall be certified to the County
Clerks and the vote on county officers
shall be canvassed by the county board
or the third Monday In December. The
State board has therefore postponed the
official canvas until next Monday, but
the following figures are recorded In the
Secretary of States Office and are as they

TROUBLE WITH JURY

CAIAFORNIAcIS IGNORE COURT
SUMMONS TO APPEAR AS
TALEsMEN IN BOTKIN CASE.
San Francisco, Dec. SIT was ex-
pected that two jurors wanting to conn
pcete the panel in the Bot1in trial
would be chosen without difficulty yes
terday informing. 1t certainly appeared
an easy task, in view Of what was done
the day before. Judge Cook, in fact,
had ordered no new venire to issue,
preferudng to rely upon the presence
Of those tales'men who failed TO answer
on Tuesday.
Matters did not turn out, however,
according to program. OF those ex-
pected to show up some were out OF
TOWN and others ignored the summons.
The result was that only six citizens
were put under examination, and az
none Of the six answered requirements
Of the counsel, it was found necessary
to take another adjournment until af-
ternoon. A special venire was ISSUED
and one juror WAS elected, leaving
cne yacaney yet 10 be filled.
The actual trial of the caee will be
gin to-day.

sends a number Of free copies to the

OF the tenants Of the several offices.

residents TO isarn II such a line would
be an Improvement, and Il so what
would be the most desirable street on
which to p.Ace it. Mr.. Clark also

Some Of tho Peculiar Enactments That
Obtained In Old Virginia

Obtained In Old Virginia.
Those who fancy that strict laws
were peculiar to New England in colo
NAL days should read some of the enact
ments of the Virginia assembly.
ut was enacted" writes Professor
John Fiske in "Old Virginia and Her
Neighbcrs, ;" that any person found
drunk was for the first offense to be pri-
vately reproved by the minister; the
second time this reproof was to be pub
licly administered the third time the
offender must be put in irons for 10
hours and pay fine; for any subsequent
offenses he must be severely punished at
the discretion of the governor and coun-
Gil.
To guard the community against ex-
cessive vanity in dress il was enacted
that for all public contributions every
unmarried man must be assessed in
church according to his own apparel, ,
and every married man must be assess
ed according to his own and his wife's
apparel.
mot merely extravaganza in dress,
but such social misdemeanors as flirting,
received due legislative condemnation
Pretty maids were known to encourage
hopes in more than one sutton, and gay
deceivers of the sterner sex would some
times seek to win the affections of two
or more women at the same time.
Wherefore it was enacted that every
minister should give notice in his
church that what man or woman soever
should use any word or speech tending
to contract of marriage to two several
persons at one time as might entangle or
breed scruples in their consciences,
should for such their offense, either un-
dergo corporal correction (by whipping)
or be punished by fine or otherwise, ac-
cording to the quality Of the person SO
offending"
Men were held to more strict account
ability for the spoken or written word
than in these shameless modern days.
One of the most prominent settlers we
find presenting petition to the assem-
bly, to grant him due satisfaction against
neighbor who has addressed to him a
letter wherein he taxeth him both un-
seemly and amiss of certain things
wherein he was never faulty" Speak
ing against the governor or any member
Of the council was liable to be punished
with the pillory. 1t was also imprudent
to speak too freely about clergymen,
who were held in great reverence. Nc
planter could dispose of SO much as a
pound of tobacco until he had laid aside
q certain specified quantity as his assess
ment toward the minister's salary,
which was thus assured even in the
worst times, SO far as legislation could

of December and asked me If Iwouldn' t
shave him while he looked after his
colts revolvers and watched the door.
I was not barber by trade, but those
persuaders Jesse had induced me to try
my hand with q new Wade 81 Butcher

shaved, the man Of iron nerve sat with

me in few hurried words that posse
was pursuing him, bent on capturing
him, dead OF alive, ON the charge of
robbing bank at Russellville, crime,
he averred, of which he was not guilty.
He wanted his beard shaved off that he
might fool his pursuers if they should
happen to catch up with him. ! finished
the job Of scraping. The much wanted
individual thanked me, and, mounting
a horse, which had been hitched in the
rear of my store, babe me good evening
and rode away. didn't know for GER

suspected it, until the next day, when
I heard that man in the neighborhood
