NOT D1sFRANcH1sED.

Judge Lauder Of Richland county, who
was called in to hear certain contest cases
here. has decided the case of Miller VI.
schallern in favor Of the plaintiff. The
contesting parties ran for the office Of
county auditor Of Morton county. Ac-
cording to the face Of the returns, the
populist candidate, schallern, was elected.
Miller. the republican candidate. con-
tested the election. and the result is In
his favor. The question at issue was.
really. whether forty votes cast at
Antelope Creek precinct for Miller should
be counted or not. The inspector Of cleo
ton had failed to put his initials on the
ballots as required by law. There was
no question raised as to whether or not
these were the identical ballots that were
cast by the voters at that precinct. The
sole question was whether the entire vote
was invalidated because Of the failure
on the part Of the inspector in a part Of
his technical duty. The Judge holds that
the voters cannot be DISTINGUISHED
through no fault Of theirs in the way
proposed.

Patricks parade. Their only chance for
escape was by the window. In this
emergency Mr.. Wells besought his
family to remain calm. and he then pro-
ceeded with great elaboration to meas
ure the chances OF escape. He first paid
out the fire-escape rope In the room until
he saw that it would reach the ground.
and. hauling it back. he quickly but Sc
curely fastened It about his daughters
waist.
He then lifted the form over the win
dow ledge and sslowly allowed It to de-
scend. He wound the rope tightly about
his hands and braced his feet against the
wall of the room, meanwhile slowly pay
ing out the rope at the end of which
dangled the almost inanimate body Of his
daughter. Smoke and flame shot out at
intervals from the windows below, but
the passage Of the girl was not retarded.
and in q few seconds she had reached
the ground. @
Mrs. Wells was then lowered to tho
ground in exactly the same way. For the
third time Mr.. Wells pulled the rope
back, after he had seen his family in
safety, and then made preparations for
his own descent.
He recognized seemingly that 1t would
DO impossible for him to go down hand
overland. and, knowing the decorations
that would occur II he slid down the rope,
he first carefully tied up his hands In
towels. then he clambered out on the
window sill and swung clear. He shot
down like lightning, but there were ready
hands below to break the fall, and when
the bandages had been removed from the
mans hands 1t was found that he had
not even a blister on them. A great
shout went up from the crowd as they
saw Mr.. Wells land in safety. He asked
| for his family, thanked the firemen and
others for their assistance and disap-
| peared. .N5

EXPLANATION OF ..sIRDAR. -
Intere.ting Item. Concernins II,
Egyptian Title Borne by = &
Kitchener. n

In the flood Of news which came In
daily over the wire recently about
Fashoda there was constant refer
cnce, an iteration and. reiteration of one
word which, while persons who read
might surmise it referred probably toa
title, yet had no positive proof of ex-
actly what it meant. That one word
was Invariably prefixed to Sir Herbert
Kitchener's name-the sirdar. Now,
what meant this word sirdar?
A quarter of a century ago, or there
abouts. at the time when Great Britain,
by right of might, and not for any
other reason, occupied Egypt and took
the sultan's khedive under its tutelate,
one of it's first acts was to reorganize
the Egyptian army. British officers
were sent to Egypt and placed at the
head Of native troops. These officers
drilled the troops, taught them the
manual of arms and gradually instilled
in them that same esprit de corps and
enthusiasm which makes the British
army itself such compact and formid-
able body. The native troops were al.
lowed to retain their colors, their flags
and insignia and all the paraphernalia
of war distinctively the attribute of an
unconquered people. British states
men went further. They even allowed
the same military titles to remain. 1t
was tactful thing to do. Britain lost
nothing thereby, and the Egyptian war;
riors retained all that was sentimental
ly sacred to them.
Thus, therefore, the very ancient
words, sirdar, bimbashi, jougoul, etc..
remained in the army. The sirdar of
the Egyptian army is the general in
chief. The bimbashi is major, the
jougoul captain. sirdar, literally il
means an officer, is as old an expression
almost as the country of the Pharaohs
itself. In Arabic the word means
"head man." There need be little
stretch of the Imagination to see how
the term came to be given to the com
mandant of the Egyptian forces.-Chi-
cago Times-Herald.
