The voters in this section ask nothing
of the Judges of Election except that
they should conform to the law in the
matter of registration. They might as
well go to China for election laws as
to accept Callicott's construction of

We are assured that if elected Mr..
Kennedy will see that an equitable
portion of the road tax paid into the
County Treasury will be expended in
this valley. We can expect no relief
from Democratic Board. During
the years they have been in office they
have studiously ignored this portion
OF the county. Our only hope of the
relief is by the election of Republi-

The Aspen Democrat either grossly
misrepresent the Judges of Election in
Hot Springs precinct, or else they are
partners in a most infamous scheme
to disfranchise the voters of their pre-
cinct. The Democrat publishes list
OF names said TO have been copied from
the registration books. OF the 26
names published only are correct,
and some of them do not. bear the
slightest resemblance to the name of
any voter in the precinct. Are the
names published the creation of the
Democrat or have the Judges of Elec-
tion intentionally garbled the names
so that when the voter presents himself
to exercise his right of franchise his
name cannot be found on the list?

he has twice been elected to the city

SEASONS WORK IN A DAY,
How Amish Farmers Helped One o,
the Sect, Who is Sick.
Sixty OF Them Plowed the Land and
Planted the Seed For the Peter
sheim Family.

READING, Penn. Especially The Peter.
sheims own one Of the fine farms In Lower
Berks County. About tive months ago the
head OF the family was stricken With
paralysis, and the attention which the
other members OF the family had to give
to him prevented them giving any time to
the cultivation OF the farm this spring.
The Petersheims are 'Amish people.
The farmers in the neighborhood heard
of the Petersheim troubles, and they de-
termined to cultivate that farm in quick
order. 1t is an old-tlme custom among
the Amish people to help one another as
much as possible. SO early In the morning,
there was a striking parade down the, 90
lestoga Turnpike. The Amish farmers,
with their two, three, and four horse teams
loaded with farm implements, were going
to the John Petershelm farm. They had
come from miles around, and they were
determined to do the seasons farniwork In
day. Thirteen plows were operated In
one field. Many harrows were drawn
across the plowed ground, and large
force Of men who planted the seed fol-
lowed. There were nineteen two and
three-horse teams at work at one time In
single field. ~ ~,
By the evening the la rye farm was put
In complete shape for producing this sum-
mer. Sixty men had been at work. All OF
them are more or less wealthy. and many
of them draw checks that the local banks
would honor for thousands OF dollars. The
Amish people are quaint religious sect
who believe strictly in the Golden Rule.

graph says:

market place by Mrs. Lockhead, the
American wife Of Scotchman. Most OF
the horses OF the Beers are In wretched
condition, but President Kruger declares
he will continue the war"
General Roberts, after march which is
regarded as worthy OF being ranked with
his famous march to Kandahar, has thus
covered another stage OF his campaign, q
stage which, although successful and with
out the mistakes and misfortunes that
characterized the earlier stages, leaves the
Boer forces quite intact, not having lost a
gun and having lost very few men. EX-
perience has taught the critics to be chary
OF accepting reports Of Boer demoraliza-
tion. The Times says:
"The signs point to military breakdown
on the part OF the Beers, but, after expe-
rience OF the past, We cannot accept the re-
ports OF demoralizatlon without reserve.
The game Of war must strictly played out
to the end"
The only point In the Free State where
the Beers seem In any force except at
General Roberts's front, Is on the south

The Origin OF Confec ctionery.

The modern confectionery business
Ills very large one, and it is Of old
standing. If we wished to trace it to
its origin we might have to go back
not far short OF five hundred years.
It is about FIVE centuries since sugar;
was first imported into this country,
and it is probably not much less than
that since "confections" began to be
concocted. They first appeared in
medical form. Apothecaries, whose
potions were at one time very gener-
ally supposed to be efficacious just in
proportion as they were horribly nasty,
took to the newly imported sugar as
means of mitigating the nauseousness
Of their doses. They mixed their
drugs with it and coated their boluses.
That seems to have been the origin OF
the syrups and medicated candies, the
cough drops and lozenges of one sort
and another that are now so largely
in demand. They were originally
concocted by the. doctors, and for
many long years all sorts of "lolli-
pops" were medicinal only. Sugar
WAS too dear and the generality of
people were too poor to permit of it's
being eaten for its own sake alone and
as ajmere luxury.
Somewhere about a couple of CEN
aturies ago, however, there began to
appear g. new development, of the
sapothecary's art. CONNECTIONS" be-
gan to be made more or less apart
from any medicinal purpose, and
merely because people liked them.
The confectioner's business began to
evolve as an offshoot from the profes.
sion of the apothecary, and eventually
became altogether separate thing,
though the common origin of the two
is still indicated by the syrups and
pastilles and troches prescribed by
the doctors, and the "drops" aud
lozenges and other things sold among
the sweet stuff of the confectioner.-
