tives are looking for Charles M0ttard,
also known as Banks The young wo-
men charge him with invelgllng them
into giving him all the money they
could raise, on a pretext OF giving them
an engagement with an orchestra which
he was to take to the Paris exposition.
Miss Maxwell resigned as instructor
10 school at Tuskegee, Ala, and in
order TO obtain sufficient money to &C
cept Mottard's proposition, went to her
home In Lafayette and sold everything
she had. When she left home the local
papers prophesied she would return
virtuOso, and local brass band escorted
her TO the train. The party was TO sail
late in May. When the young women
went TO the steamship offices they found
no provision had been made for them.
Then they put the case in the hands of
an attorney. A warrant as issued for
Mottard's arrest, but he has not yet
been apprehended. Misses Maxwell and
Seymour were compelled to send home
for funds

patty can feel that no man they
could have nominated could get more
votes.
"The other names on the ticket
are those of strong men: some OF
them, as the nominees for superin-
tendent of public instruction and for
attorney general, may rank as young
men, who bring to their candidacy
besides experience in their lines of
work, and familiarity with public
affairs, the enthusiasm of youth. AS
whole, from Colonel Lawler, as
candidate for Acknowledgements, to
Mr.. Horuff, as candidate for state
statistlcian, the ticket is fairly repre-
sentative of intelligence and solid
character. Win or lose, it is credit
able that candidates of this standing
should be chosen"

THE CANDIDATES.

Regarding the democratic candi-
dates on the state ticket, the Indian
apolis News, a republican paper,
says:
ain Mr.. K ern the democrats NOM
mated probably their strongest man.
1t is doubtful if he is stronger with
his party than MIR. Shively would
have been. But outside his party,
we believe, he is stronger. He is a
creditable candidate w,thal. He has
strength of character, a fine execu.
tive mind, is lawyer of conceded
ability, popular speaker of force,
and man of decision. He has
courage. He is clean and upright.
He is in the prime of life. There is
no doubt that he will make strong
race. He has long been familiar
with public affairs both state and
city. AS legislator, as a state Off
cial, as city attorney, as a lawyer
who has always taken an active in

General Taylor will 60 to Starke county

Gently complaints that they have been
cutting down the timber have been
numerous. There ls some question
about the state being able to give a
clear title to the land, and this will be
Investigated by the attorney general.
1t is probable he will have the land sur
veyed, divided into tracts and sold in
accordance with the law.

Another draft of platforms was pre-

1t is striking example of the
irony of fate that the man that
furnished the platform to the demo-

floor of the convention just the same

ELECTION LAW CASE.
When an Election Ballot Is Not IL
legal.

When an Election Ballot Is Not IL
legal.
The supreme court Friday reversed
the decision in the case of j ohm +. Bor-
ders vs.. William Z. Williams. The
court held that placing cross at the
left of the names of two candidates for
the same office does not necessarily
make voters ballot illegal, if it is
otherwise properly prepared as mixed
ticket, and the improper marking sp-
pears to have been due to an honest
mistake. In such a case the ballot
should be counted for each candidate
voted for except the two who were run
ming for the same office and rejected as
to them. The parties were rival candi-
dates for the office of treasurer OF Pu-
leski county. The election board de-
clsred Borders elected by plurality of
six votes and Williams brought suit to
contest the election. The board of
commissioners decided that Williams
was elected by one vote and Borders
appealed. The circuit court decided
that Williams had plurality of four
votes and Borders appealed to the su
preme court. The supreme court de-
cided that the circuit court had counted
two votes for Williams to which he was
not entitled and had rejected four votes
that ought to have been counted for
Borders, and that, therefore, the latter
was entitled to the office of treasurer.
Borders is republican.

DRUMMRRS FOR BRYAN.

The directors of the Commercial
Travellers Anti Trust league, at a
meeting held May 80 in New York
City, adopted resolutions pledging
their support to William ]. Bryan
and the Democratic ticket to be
named at Kansas City.
"Whereas, it now appears certain
that one of the principal planks in
the Democratic platform which will
be adopted at the Kansas City con-
vention will declare in opposition to
trusts, and also that William Jen-
nings Bryan, who is in full sympa-
thy with this league regarding the
trust question, will be the Demo-
cratic candidate for President
therefore, be it
"Resolved, That the CONNER
cial Travellers and Hotelmen's Anti
Trust league pledges itself to use all
its power in the aid of the election
of the Democratic ticket to be nom-
mated at Kansas City.
"The trusts, which have already
forced more than $4,000 commercial
travellers out of employment and
caused reduction in the salaries of
those remaining, are the creation of
the Republican party, and can only
exist by the will of the present Fed
eral administration. Every middle
man is interested i'm the result of
this movement; and on principles of
self-defense we invite their cooper
alton to fight the Republican party,
which fosters and encourages the
trusts. If these ruinous combina-
tons are not curbed they will event
ually destroy all that is pledged by
the Declaration of independence,
for their agents have already vio-
lated the constitution"
