second row and thus divide his elec-
toral vote, something the voter rarely
ever does, but when he has cast the
number Of votes, either straight or
divided, representing the number Of
electors his state is entitled TO, all the
keys In that part OF the machine are
automatically locked, and 1t becomes
impossible for him to do any repeat
ing
In constructing this machine Mr..
Winslow has aimed to correct the de-
fects and meet the objections that
have been urged against the Meyers
and other machines, and the COM
pleted machine now to be seen in
practical operation in his home,
shows that he has done so. 1t would
take much more space than is at
command to enter into a minute de.
scription Of the difficulties overcome
by Mr.. Winslow in perfecting this
marvellous machine. He has made a
special study OF the election laws OF
all the states in the union, and espe.
cially Of the laws of those states
which have taken into account the
voting machine. His machine meets
every requirement of those laws. In
short, every possible contingency has
been fully provided for.
For a machine that is required to
do so much it Is remarkably simple,
and herein lies its merit. 1t requires
less instruction and less average in.
telligence on the part of the voter
than does the Australian blanket
ballot, or even the single ticket sys.
TEN. II the voter in marking his
ticket makes an error his entire vote
is lost. In operating the machine II
he pushes the wrong key he simply
records one vote for candidate other
than he intended to vote for, but he
can proceed and vote for all otheE
candidates for whom he desires to
cast ballot. In order to aid the
voter the different sections OF the
face of the machine representing the
various parties are OF different col.
ors and so long as he sticks to the
color that represents his party he
cannot make mistake. II he desirea
to vote a straight ticket he pulls
down lever at the head OF the sec.
tion representing the ticket, and the
mechanism automatically records one
vote for each candidate on the ticket.
He can Scratch" II he wants to, and
there is section set apart for indie,
pendent voting where he can write in
the name of candidates not on the
regular ticket. In the construction
OF the machine there Is a notable alb.
sence OF springs. Positive mechanical
movements are used to insure
strength, simplicity and certainty Of
working. Unless the machine is pur.
posely injured by the voter while in
the booth it cannot fail to work. The
certainty Of immediate discovery, and
the heavy penalties inflicted by the
law will operate to prevent an occur.
renee OF this kind.
Mr. Winslow is now preparing to
have these machines manufac ctured
and sold. It is expected they will be
ready for the spring elections in Kan,
sas City and that before long they
will be in general use throughout the
country. Mr.. Winslow has received
a number of offers for his invention,
but Is in no hurry to part with it. He
has 1t fully protected by patents, and
doee not propose, like so many other
inventors have done, to let others get
all the benefits of the thought, labor,
patience and perseverance that he
has put into it.

Toledo, o., July 1S.-Mayor Jones

A MARVELLOUS MACHINE.
It Represents Nearly Ten Years Of
Patient Thought and Labor.

Kansas City, Mo-, July 1S.-After
nearly ten years Of Thought and la
Dor, Mr. L. X. Winslow, who resides
at No. 22l0 Holmes street, Kansas
City, Mo-, has invented and perfected,
an automatic voting machine that in
the simplicity and rhe efficiency Of
its mechanism is far in advance of
any other machine OF the kind here
tofore constructed,
This machine registers and counts
the votes for each candidate as cast;
1t also registers and counts the
straight ticket votes and the votes for
or against any special proposition,
such as a constitutional amendment,
ETC., voted upon. 1t counts and reg
listers as cast the total number Of
votes cast by the voters Of each
party, and shows at the same time
the total number of votes cast by all
the voters who have entered the
booth and have voted, 1t can be read
lily and quickly adjusted for class
voting, for minority representation
voting, cumulative voting, and for re-
stricted voting, where, as In Kansas,
certain officers are voted for by wo-
men, while they are not permitted to
vote for certain others, such as pres
ddential electors, congressman, etc.
This machine permits no fraud, AS
the voter enters the booth lever con.
nected with the door unlocks the
keys, which are operated as are those
on a cash register, by pushing them.
It is impossible for him, unless where
the machine is adjusted for cumula-
tive voting, to cast more than one
vote for any one candidate. The mo-
ment he pushes in the key, represent
ing the candidate for whom he de-
sires to vote, all other keys ON the
same row are automatically locked.
The key that he has pushed in is also
locked. This prevents repeating his
vote. To guard against manipulation,
whereby key might be PARTLY push
ed in, the locking mechanism acts, so
far as the other keys in the row are
concerned, the moment the key Is
moved, the registering apparatus,
however, does not work until the vote
has been completed and the voting
key itself locked.
In voting for presidential electors,
1t is possible for man to vote for the
electors Of the different parties, but
he can only vote for Lne man In each
district. For instance II he votes for
the Republican elector from the First
district, he locks all the other keys
In the row representing that district.
He may, IL he wants to, however, vote
for Democrat or PoDulist. in the

Coal Trust win Hold Up Dealers.

Chicago, July 1s.-The Record says:
Consumers Of anthracite coal are
now being given object lessons in the
ability of the coal trust to control
the output ana prices in the city, not
only for immediate delivery, but for
the future. The big dealers are refus-
ing to make contracts for winter de-
livery and give as their reason that
they do not themselves know what
the price is to be next fall, and are
no more able to make contracts for
future delivery with the mine oper-
ators thar their customers are to
make contrcts with them. 1t is said
the conditions in the coal trade have
Hutchinson gazette., 1899-07-20

never been as tight as they are at
present and none of half dozen
dealers who were interviewed today
was willing to make even as much as n
guess as TO what the price of coal
would be even thirty days hence
From information gathered, II se' ms
that the trust is preparing to "hold
up" not only the consumer, but the
dealer as well.

can beef are preferred by many of the
large butchers to the best English cuts.
Experts say that English cattle are
depreciating in value and quality, one
reason being that animals are now be-
ing slaughtered at 2-year-old instead Of
years, as formerly. Not only is the
trade in chilled beef increasing to vast
dimensions, but there is a large and
increasing trade in fresh chilled pork.
1t is a fact not generally known here
to those outside the trade, that most CT
the pork pies, which are staple article
of food among the English working
classes are made from fresh chilled
American pork.
American mutton is not making
headway. largely because it is fattened
too quickly.
There is a good demand for Ameri-
can bacon and hams and provided they
come mild and not too fat, there is
every prospect of increasing sales. They
should not be smoked.

there is not likely to be any immediate

saw Stout staggering on the sidewalk.

Americans of delivering up a Spanish

to the insurgents, who are said to have
subjected him TO all kinds of torture.
1t is also alleged that 104 monks were

that Spanish property had been
given over to loot, and that the owners
