ELECTIONS.

ELECTIONS.
A careful perusal of the following laws
will make it easy for the election Off
GERS. as well as the voters, to comply
with their provisions. nor does the ballot
aw need much explanation as we have
held four elections under its provisions
and but few changes have been made in
it since its enactment These changes
are, however, very important ones and
are briefly stated as follows:
No. l. The ballots have no small
squares opposite the names Of the can
didates, but one large square enclOs'
ing the name and the device at the
head of each party ticket.
No. 2. The clerk Of the peace now
folds all ballots before delivering them
10 the proper officers. thus making It
less difficult for the voter to comply with
the law in folding his ballot
No. 3. The initials OF tho clerks Of
elections are placed on the back Of the
ballot as folded and as near the middle
thereof as possible.
No. l. There is no voters assistant
and the only voters who are allowed tc
have assistance are those who are phys
ically unable TO prepare, stamp or fold
their ballot by reason OF defective eye
sight, or the loss OF the use OF one OF
both hands, or inability to walk with
safety without assistance.

STANDS BY CURTIS LAW.
Iuterior Department Holds It
Constitutional.

Washington, June 25. = Judge
Vandeventer, assistant attorney
general for the interior Depart
ment, said today that the provis-
ions of the Curtis law will be en-
forced in the Indian Territory
regardless of the opinion Of Judge
Thomas, of the United States
court in the territory, that this
law is unconstitutional. The de-
partment believes that the court
of appeals for the territory will
reverse this decision and hold that
the law is valid. Judge Vande-
venter says that the department is
not receiving complaints in regard
to the enforcement of the law. 1t
has been in operation since June
%, 1898, and the department be-
lieves that Its provisions are just
and equitable and as good as can
be had pending the ratification OF
the Creek and Cherokee agree
ments. When congress meets
again it IS expected that these two
treaties will be ratified, and then
land tenures and oil and mineral
leases will be put upon staple
and more satisfactory basis. The
decision Of Judge Thomas will be
brought to the court Of appeals.
The representatives OF the Creek
and Cherokee nations maintain
that the Curtis law is unjust in
some of its provisions They
complain Of it's requirements con-
cerning non-payment for improve
ments on lands held in excess OF
allotments, its regulations in re-
gard to leases of coal and oil lands,
which place the authority for max.
ing these leases exclusively in the
hands of the secretary of the in
terror. The secretary, however,
mas not made any leases under
this authority and the Indians ad-
NIT that no special injury has been
done them 10 this particular.
They object to the power Of maxi
ing such leases being vested ex-
clusively in the secretary, as it
might be abused. In the Creek
and Cherokee agreements now
pending before congress provision
is made for payment for improve
ments on excessive holdings, and
The department believes that its
administration of the Curtis act
until such a time as the treaties
are disposed of finally will not
work injustice in any quarter.

GEN. CASTLEMAN.
Takes Charge and is organizing
A New State Guard.
Seat Of Government Temporarily
Moved TO Louisville to Avoid
Further AssassinatiOns.

Louisville. Ky. Feb. 5.-This
city S to be the seat, temporarily
at least, of The Democratic state
government. Gov. Beckham and
several of his chief advisers reached
here this morning. To-day the
Democratic members of the 1egIs-
lature will meet here, and It is OUR
posed to make Louisville the head
quarters of the executive and ieg-
islative branches OF the Stat gov
eminent as long as the presence OF
troops keeps them from Frankfort,
or until the present conflict OF au-
thority in the State is settled.
Gen. Castleman, the newl, APP
pointed Adjutant General, andloc }
leaders of prominence came ~ yes
terday, as well as a number Of the
Democratic members of the Legs
lature. Newspaper men werecare-
fully excluded from these councils
and every effort was made to keep
the deliberations secret. The plan
to have the Democratic members of
the Legislature meet here had al
ready been well matured. Prellm-
mary steps in this direction had
been taken at the meetings Of those
members held in the Capitol Hotel
at Frankfort since the State build
ings have been surrounded BY sol
diers. The Democratic legislators
there adopted a concurrent resolu-
ton for adjournment to Louisville,
and this fact was made known early
in to-day's conference.
The General took an active part
in the discussion Of this phase OF
the plans, and, it IS said, ample ar
rangements we're made to pro ect
the members OF the Democratic adj
ministration from molestatiOn by
Gov. Taylor forces. Whether Or
not this is to be done through or
ganization of another State Guard
has not been made clear.

GOV. GOEBEL DEAD.
Kentucky's Great Leader A
Martyr TO Principles.
"TeII My Friends to BE Brave and
Fearless and Loyal to the
Great COMMON People"

Frankfort, KY Feb. 3.-"Tell
my friends to be brave and fearless,
aud loyal to the great common peo-
pie"
With this last ringing message
on his lips, William Goebel, Gov
ernor of Kentucky, died at GAS p.
m. Saturday at Frankfort from the
wound received Tuesday morning,
Jan. 80 at the hand of a concealed
assassin. Gov, Goebel's condition
early Saturday morning seemed
encouraging, but a turn for the
worse soon set in and from that
time until the end he sank steadily.
He was kept alive only by stimu-
lants for several hours, in the hope
that an absent brother might reach
his bedside before his death. His
brother Arthur, and his sister were
the only ones with him at the last
moment. His brother, Justus Goe-
bel arrived about half an hour af-
ter his death.
Thus early in his public career
was cut short the life of a states
man, brave and true, and with the
will and ability to have made the
