Tne Soldier Vote.

The ballots forwarded to the First
Nevada Cavalry contained the names OF
candidates for Congress and State Off
GERS. As the boys sailed for Manila he
fore election day, they will cast their
votes while en- route and returns will
probably be sent back from Honolulu.
There is question whether or not the
votes can be counted, but should they
be they may decide the case in several
OF the closer contests.
The State constitution. regarding
soldiers votes, reads as follows: &
"Sec. l4.-The provisions of the ordi-
nance in regard to the soldiers vote
shall applyltc future elections under this
constitution, and be in full force until
the legislature shall provide by law for
taking the votes oi citizens OF said terri
tory in the army OF the United States. !"
The legislature subsequently provided
for soldiers in the army voting, but that
law was repealed. Wheather or not it
goes back to the constitution is ques-
tion that must be decided by some conrt
of competent jurisdiction, but we have
spoken to numer of lawyers who gay
the soldier vote in this case cannot be
couEted.

A SquaW Chopped.

Last Monday night Piute by the
name OF Pete came in from the Indian
camp across the the river and reported
that squaw had been badly cut by an
other squaw with an ak, and was bleed
ing to death. A number Of people went
oyer to see il any assistance could be
given, bnt the Indians had plastered the
squaw's wounds up with tobacco, and
seemed to consider that that was all
that was necessary. 1t seems that the
injured squaw was from Virginia City,
and that she is widow OF rather fasci-
mating appearance. She and a Piute
buck known as Johnny Hutson had be-
come quite too intimate to suit Johnny's
wife, known as Susie Douglass, and
Susie had concluded to put stop to the
festive Johnny's filtration, so she pro-
ceeded to carve her rival with an ak.
The wounded squaw had severe cut on
the right side OF her head, another bad
cut on her right leg below the knee, and
slight cut on the left arm. After re-
covering somewhat from her wounds
and fright she lit out Tuesday for her
home in Virginia City, probably having
concluded that the Piute society of Day
ton was too hot for her. No arrests were
made as none Of the Piutes seemed to
want to make a complaint.-Dayton

quire the attendance of all. The place
Of the next meeting will be designated

tended, in fact, the convention was prac>
tically over Fully $50 Of the delegates
had accepted the invitation Of the Rock
Island to take an excursion over the
central part of the State and visit the
creamery district. The excursion party
visited Enterprise, Abilene, Canton,
Hutchinson, Great Bend, Wichita and
other points of interest. The visitors
were given very intelligent idea Of the
progress of the business in this State
and were really surprised to note what
had been accomplished in State in
which the creamery business Is sup
posed to be in its infancy. The excur-
sion returned to Kansas City Saturday
evening, where the trip home was be-
gun. The delegates who remained In the
city were given pleasing entertainment
Friday evening. The meeting was one
of the most satisfactory ones ever held.

The responses and the Presidents an
nual address were brief but full Of timely
information and suggestions. The sue
ceeding sessions were given up to papers
on subjects Of interest to ell present.
The judges gave Iowa the first prize
for fine appearance in the parade and the
Minnesota delegation got second. The
Philadelphia, Chicago, New York and
Boston butter boards ere given honor
able mention for fine appearance.
The convention was great success
from financial standpoint, the balance
in the treasury amounting to 1888. The
two large floors Of Hamilton hall were
fully occupied by the convention and 1t
was necessary to secure store room on
the avenue for the judges in the butter
makers contest. The lower floor Of
Hamilton hall was given up almost en-
tirely to machinery men. Here could be
seen every appliance Of value which is
used in modern daiTies and creameries
While 1t was very much In the nature OF
an advertising affair, still 1t was Of great
interest to all who wished to learn more
Of the methods Of producing the best OF
one Of the most necessary things for the
sustenance Of man.
The prizes were awarded by board Of
commercial experts. They were entirely
disinterested parties and the contest was
conducted on purely scientific lines. The
first prize went to Samuel Hogdon New
Sweden, MINI. His butter scored SO.
The second went to Martin Mortonson,
of the Iowa State Agricultural college,
with score Of 971R.

Kanaaa Butter.

Kansas butter seems to be highly ap-
preciated by former residents of Kansas
A gentleman who now resides In Min
nesota but who for many years was
prominent resident Of Kansas, wrote
to Secretary Coburn OF the State Board
Of Agriculture requesting him to pur-
chase at any price the tub Of Kansas
butter that scored the highest at the
creamery convention and ship IL to him
for use on his table. The 10000 pounds
Of butter which were on exhibition, Was
all sold In a lump at public auction and
was bought by Mr.. Irving Mitchell for
Stephen Underhill, of New York city, at
18 cents pound. Mr.. Coburn explained
to Mr.. Mitchell the desire Of the Kansas
man who resides In Minnesota to have
the tub Of Kansas butter which scored
the highest and Mr.. Mitchell at once
made him present OF that tub and 1t
was Immediately shipped by express to
Minnesota. This tub OF butter was made
by G. ]. Walker, at Marysville, Marshall
county, and scored SO 1-6 In a possible
100 in this national contest.

BUTTER MEN GATHER.
The National Convention at Topeka is
Success and Gives Kansas Much
Valuable information.

The greatest educational meeting
which has assembled in Kansas in many
years was the National Buttermakers'
convention at Topeka last week. 1t
brought to the notice of Kansas people
all Of the latest improvements In butter
making. In doing this 1t gave them in
formation with respect to line Of busi-
ness which must be greatly developed IN
Kansas before its farmers and dairymen
will be securing full the benefits Of their
efforts.
The exhibits were nearly all in place
Monday but the convention did not begin
until the arrival Of the majority OF the
delegates, Tuesday. They came on spe-
cial trains from everywhere, seemingly
The people Of Topeka were agreeably
surprised at the large number Of people
who appeared In line in the parade which
was headed by Marshalls band. There
were fully 700 in line. All of the States
of the West, Northwest and East which
are interested at all in this line were
represented The State delegations were
especially strong and they were very
enthusiastic In their praises Of the re-
sources and attalnments Of their respeC-
tive States Philadelphia had delega>
tiOn Of twenty-three. Boston was also
we'll represented.
The session Tuesday was opened with
an address of welcome by Governor
Leedy. Mayor Fellows also welcomed
the visitors. G. H. Pattison spoke in a
welcoming vein on the part Of the cream
cry men.
Secretary Coburn's address Of welcome
as a representative of the agricultural
interests was very good.
He said:
"You have no doubt heard of the land
of Canaan, the land flowing with milk
and rich in honey. AS the special spokes-
man of the men who produce the milk

HACK ORDINANCE VALID.
Judge Hine So Decides I'm the Cad
bout Case.

Judge HiRe So Decides in the Cad
bout Case.
Judge Hine yesterday discharged j.
Gadbout, the hack driver arrested fer
violating the hack ordinance by allow
ing his team and hack to stand in
front Of the union depot in a place
other than that designated by the
superintendent Of the union depot
Judge Hine overruled the demurrer
TO the complaint made by Herman OPP
penheim, who appeared for Gadbout,
but dismissed the case and discharged
the defendant on the ground that there
had been no evidence to show that any
place in the vicinity of the union depot
had been designated as a hack stand
by either the superintendent of the
depot or the chief of police who, under
the ordinance, are authorized to desg-
nate the hack stands.
Mr.. Oppenheim cOntended that an at
tempt was made in the ordinance to
delegate to the person in charge Of the
union depot and the chief OF police leg
islative authority and for this reason
it was not legal.
Assistant Corporation Attorney
Griggs argued that the ordinance sim
ply gave the officers ministerial powers.
Judge Hine oVerrued the demurrer
on authority Of the decision OF the SUI
preme court in the case Of the city Of
st. Paul VS.. Smith, which decision sus-
tafned the hack ordinance in force at
the time and which was practically
the same as the one now in force. In
his decision Judge Hine holds the
ordinance is a good one from a legal
point of view.

SLOT MACHINE DECISION.
Text of Judge Hines Opinion in the
Dayton Case.

The decision in the SLOT machines rendered
by Judge Hine, Of the municipal court, is
herewith printed in full. as it is a subject Of
general interest and was bungled up In its
publication in an evening paper Thursday
night. 1t is as follows
while the evidence in this case at this
time is perhaps not quite satisfactory and
definite as it might be, still l am inclined
to the opinion that the motion to discharge
the defendant must be denied.
From the evidence it appears that at the
time and prior to the date mentioned in the
complaint, the defendant was the proprietor
of a certain cigar store situated at the cor
ner Of Seventh and Wabasha streets i'm what
is known as the Market house building in
the city Of st. Paul. That in said store were
certain machines known as s,ot machines,
one of which was being operated This ma.
chine consists of an apparatus made of wood
glass and metal somewhat in the apbeaT
ance of an ordinary clock, being about two
feet high and one and half feet wide and
having a dial with certain numbers and hank

when the machine was set in motion Ahova
the dial was series of receptacles or SLOTS
each bearing a number corresponding To one
of the numbers on the face of the dial The
