Value OF Pictures.

Pictures do more toward furnishing
a house and determining the status OF
it's inmates than anything else. If you
lave a suspicion that you are not wise
IN choosing and hanging pictures, get
advice from someone whose taste need
rot be questioned, says the Pittsburs
Dispatch. Cheap pictures are not nee.
essarily poor, but poor picture Is
usually cheap. To be able to discern
the difference Is a quality with which
every one is not blessed. A good plan
is to purchase copies of famous pic
lures, etchings and engravings. These
are almost sure to be good. In fran.
ing pictures remember that gold
frames are for oil paintings and dark
pictures, white frames for water COL
ors, and black enamel or Flemish oak
and modern oak for etchings and
photographs.

Election of School Trustees.

The Attorney General of the State
and the various District Attorneys of
the counties are tussling with the ques-
ton whether the coming election of
school trustees must be held under the
old or the new registration. If under
the old registration, the old register
will have to be used; if under the new
registration. the time is already past
within which to register for this par
ticular election. 1t is claimed, how
ever, that the provisions of the Smith
law do not contemplate elections for
school trustees. If the old register is
defunct and can not be used, and if the
new law is not adapted to such cleo
tions, then what?

Register at Once.

1t is well known to the readers of the
LEDGER that under the Smith regis
tration law, new registration OF
voters must be had to entitle electors
to vote at the next general election.
Not only is this true, but no one will be
entitled to vote at the next primary
who is not on the new Register, as that
primary must be conducted under the
new registration act. 1t is the duty oil
members of all political parties to reg
lister at once, and see that they are
registered in the correct precinct.

Brought to the Hospital.

Last Monday about noon, Deputy
Constable Heffren brought a Chinaman
from lone and placed him in the County
Hospital. Opium consumption was
probably the disease with which the
Chinaman was afflicted. Tho trip was
necessarily very slow and many times
Hetfren thought his charge was dead,
but he managed to cling to life several
days after his entrance into the hospital.
AS he was being brought through
Jackson, his right hand grasping the
lazy back of the seat. his head thrown
back and with mouth open gasping for
breath, his groans indicated the in
tense suffering, and it was thought he
would die before he arrived at the
hospital.
Tuesday night the means and groans
OF the sufferer as he lay in the agonies of
death, disturbed the rest of the other
inmates, and death was considered a
welcome visitor to the unfortunate.
