Marking the Ballot.

The recent session of the 2sth gen
eral assembly amended section 11l9 Of
the code in reference to marking the
ballot, which enables the voter to cast
his ballot as he may desire without
danger of its being rejected, He may
mark the circle and then put an Y in
the square before the name of a candi-
date on any other ballot for any office
thereon named. The effect of this
amendment that such a ballot will
be counted for all the candidates
named on such ballot except the one
against whose name on the opposite
ballot an \ precedes the name. To
Illustrate: a person desires to vote the
republican national and state ticket
and puts an \ in.the circle at the head
of the ticket, but casting his eye down
the ballot he sees the name of l.. j.
Glass or of some other person who he
prefers to the candidate on the ballot
which he marked in the circle, and
by placing an \ in the square before
such name the vote will be counted
for that candidate while all the other
names on the ballot would be counted
for the republicans. This amendment
may be found on page Is of the acts
of the % general assembly.

OBITUARY..
KRATZ.

Philip Kratz was born at Framm-
sheim Hessen, Germany, January 10th,
1549, and died at his home four miles
south Of Cresco, Oct. End, 1900, at 12:15
a. NJ, bringing his life to the age of 81
years s months and 13 days.
The immediate cause of his death
was heart trouble, of which he was a
patient sufferer for several years. At
times his suffering was intense but he
bore it with much patience, always
showing forth Christ-like spirit. His
end was not unexpected to him nor
his loved ones. He was fully resigned
to his God and ready to meet Him.
Deceased was united in marriage to
Mary Cawelti May 30th, 1877, near
North Washington, la. This nnion
was blessed with six children, five
boys and one girl; one boy preceding
the father to the better world.
Philip Kratz emigrated to America
with his parents when but four years
old, spending his boyhood days in the
state of Indiana. From thence he
came with his parents to Iowa and
grew to manhood near Ridgeway. He
leaves a wife, five children, an aged
mother, four brothers, four sisters
and many other relatives and friends
who mourn their loss.
Mr.. Kratz was honored and respect
ed by all who knew him; was neighbor-
ly in every respect and always ready
to lend a helping hand. His policy
was ''a friend in need, friend indeed. "
He held at different times offices in
the township and county. He was
converted to God in early life and
joined the Evangelical Association Of
which he was faithful member until
death. For many years he was re-
elected superintendent of the Sunday
School, also as exhorter
Through all the changing scenes Of
life he remained true to God and loyal
to the church of his choice. His seat
in the house of worship is vacant; his
voice forever silenced. BY his death
his companion loses a kind, loving
and devoted husbandi his children a
wise counselor, and the church Q de-
vout member, but our untimely loss is
heavens eternal gain. **

INDIAN BURY1NG GROUND.
Relics OF the Mound Builders Near
Clinton.
cn.ciol ~

Special to Times-Republican.
Clinton, Nov. 10.-It is not generally
known that there Is a large Indian
:burying ground on the bluffs Just on
the other side OF the Mississippi river.
almost directly opposite this city, but
such lie true and scores Of fine skele-
tons. ornaments and implements Of war
have been dug up by the residents of
this vicinity. The mounds are scat
tered over a large area and some OF
them are twenty feet in diameter and
are eight or ten feet IN height. The
skeletons 30 far recovered are in a good
state OF preservation. The remains are
undoubtedly those OF the Sac and Fox
Indians. When the white men first
came to this country there were a large
number of Indians in what is nov
Whiteside county. and this place seems
to have been their burying ground. But
perhaps the strangest mound in this vi
entity Is TO be found In the northern end
OF Rock Island county, Ill, 1t stands
alone, in the bottom OF a little ravine.
It is twenty feet long and fifteen feet
wide and is at least fifteen feet high. 1t
Is symmetrical in shape and Is I'M
doubtedly the resting place of some
noted chief. 1t stands alone and an
other mound Is the only one to be
found nearer than those across the
river, fully twenty miles distant. There
was considerable talk at n time of
digging. into 1t. but the project vas
abandoned on account Of the size Of the
