Proposes to Take County COmmis-
sioner Contest Into District Court.


siOner Contest Into District Court.
William l. Kierstead says the papers for
an appeal from County Judge Baxter's de-
csion of the county commissioner contest
in favor OF Connolly have been perfected
by his attorney.
The particular point upon which he will
stand is the form of the ballots, based upon
Chief Justice Posts opinion and the OBJ
servations OF the county judge himself.
Judge Post declared that the intention Of
the old Australian ballot law was that a
candidate should not have his name on the
ballot more than once, as, otherwise, a can
dldate having his name on more than once
enjoys a superior advantage to the mind OF
the voter.
This position Judge Baxter adhered to,
but because the objections Of the contestant
had not been made in time, namely previ-
GUS to the election, Judge Baxter said he
was bound under the decision of Commits
sioner Ragan in another case before the
supreme court TO decide against Kierstead.
Kierstead says 1t was impossible for him
or any other candidate to know just how
the ballots would be printed until the time
OF election, and no objections could have
been made before that time.

with Spain. The Century company has
most fttingly remembered the anniversary
of that tragic event by the publication Of
Captain Sigsbee's story OF the events lead
Ing UP to and following closely after the
destruction OF his ship. Captain Sigsbee
writes without animus or exaggeration, but
with simplicity and straghtforwardness
that emphasize the Impressive facts. Though
not formally subdivided, the narrative falls
naturally into three divisions The first
describes the ship and its trip to Havana,
the exchange OF official courtesies and the
three weeks stay in Havana harbor. The
second contains vivid description OF the
explosion at night and the escape of Cap
tain Sigsbee and the other survivors from
the wreck. The third presents an account
OF the removal OF the wounded the burial
OF the dead, the wrecking operations and
the official inquiry into the disaster, re-
sulting In the decision that the explosion
was due to external causes. This is Captain
Sigsbee's own conviction and the reasons on
which 1t Is based are tersely and conclu-
sively stated. series of appendices pre-

"Our Living World" is the title of an
artistic edition of Rev. ]. G. Wood S
Natural History" This natural history is
written in most interesting language Not
content with mere description of animate
creatures, the author narrates a multitude
of instructive anecdotes, which give a
pleasing air of light literature, while pur-
forms. The arrangement of subjects is ex-
cellent and species run into one another
with a gradation SO easy to follow that
even the young cannot go astray and the
old can peruse with profit. The paper is of
excellent quality, the type new, clear and
of sufficient size not to injure the sight
The whole work is profusely illustrated with
well executed wood cuts, scarcely page
being without an Illustration, and there is
no animal thus far observed in the text
that has not an accompanying picture OF its
appearance. The benefits of such assistants
to popular education and to Juvenile in
struction are well known to those accus-
toned to teach by object lessons and are
becoming yearly more appreciated. One
feature OF the illustrations Is worthy OF es-
pecial mention being a colored full-page
plate with each number. 1t is intended for
ths general reader and fulflls its mission.

The Imperial Republic" by James c.
Fernald is one of the latest works bearing
upon the history of the United States The
author Is an avowed and ardent believer in
expansion and supports his cause by fact
and argument. To allay the fear that many
express, lest the possession OF extra con-
tinental territory may endanger liberty, the
author proves by review of history that
the worlds chief despotisms, as Persia
China and Russia, have been established
over unbroken stretches of continuous ter
ritory. In the discussion of "Our Tradi-
tional lPolicy" the history OF successive ac-
quisitions of territory is made graphic by
map showing the original thirteen states
with each subsequent addition, delneated
witt its date. The author shows by ex-
tracts from the speeches of leading men
how each successive step of expansion was
opposed. The authors summary is that we
have had traditional theory of limitation
and repression, with a real policy of ccn-
tinuous territorial expansion. Funk G.
