 Maj. N. T. White. one of the attor. neys for Gen. II. K White in his cleo ton contest ease. asked the court to have the ballots cast at the recent municipal election brought into court and fecounted in order that the attor- neys may ascertain just how the votes stood and how each man voted. He asked that the counting be done py committee composed of repre- sentative of each interested party. MT. Coleman, one of Mr Bells attor. neys, did not agree with Mai White. IJn
 ne protested to such a movement and said he could show authority where such procedure was illegal. He considered the ballot secret and ael,- ed that the voters of the city be pro tected. Maj. White concluded bv saying that he too considered the hal lots secret except in contest cases. when the results were to be determin- ed by opening the boxes and counting the ballots in court He cited the test cases that had been decided in this state in the manner requested. Judge Grace said that he would not make ruling in the case until the law books were brought into court and the proper argument made He further stated that the courts of Ar kansas had never made the method of procedure in election contest cases clear and for that reason he wished to have more light on the subject in the way of authorities

AND COMMERCIAL
The Chicago Market

Chicago, Oct 17-Bullish statistics and
foreign news lent an intermittent activity
to an otherwise dull wheat market today
and December wheat closed Is higher, De-
cember corn a shade higher and December
oats Il advanced. Provisions closed 712@
10l5c. higher
Steady Liverpool cables, in the face of
recent weakness here gave strength at
the opening, and December wheat started
Ad9s to 2sG1A advanced at 70A to 701zq3s.
Small northwestern receipts also lent an
upward tendency, though the clearing
weather has begun to favor a freer
northwestern movement. Numerous
shorts covered their lines early, and then
the market turned dull until December
sagged to 70. News of purchases here for
northwest and Argentine together with
increased seaboard clearances, brought
renewed activity. ecember soon sold at
705s, but in the absence of any strong out
side interest and on an uneasy feeling
among buyers, prices eased off, and De-
cember closed barely firm, % higher, at
7014G2s Seaboard clearances in wheat
and flour equalled S72 600 bushels. Sea-
board reported Is loads taken for export.
Corn was about steady at yesterday s
closing figures at the opening, but grad
ually improved a little under the influence
of the improvement in wheat. Trade was
not disturbed by any fresh developments,
disappointing husking returns on the one
hand and a sluggish cash demand on the
other being the principal features of the
dull market. There was still considerable
changing of December for May. Decem--
Der ranged between 561s and 569sqA, and
closed a shade higher at 562sqR.
Reports of shipments for the south and
southwest brought firmer tone to the
oat market, though trade was light and
fluctuations narrow. December ranged
between 351s@A and 951a, and closed firm,
Il higher. at 95l44%.
Provisions were quiet, yet with a firm
tone, on the strength of a higher hog
market January pork closed 10c. adj
vanced at 15.2712, January lard 10Q1O12c.

FIRST RIDE ON
ELECTRIC CARS
Mrs. James Bracket Of Daniel
son, Conn.,, Now Visiting in
Webster 0vercame Her Fears
and Enjoyed Short Excursion

Webster. Oct 17.-Mrs. James Bracket
of Danielson, CT, who is spending few
days in town with relatives, had her first
ride on an electric car this afternoon,
when she boarded one on the Webster
and Dudley line and enjoyed a ride about
town Mrs. Bracket is 50 years old, and
resides IN Danielson, where the electric
cars run to Putnam nearly every half
hour.
Mrs. Bracket is a pleasant woman
and inter esting in conversation. She de-
scribed her trip with pleasure. She never
saw an electric car until the line was in
running order from Putnam to Daniel
son. She has always. had a dread of rid
ing on electric cars, and when going out
of town would take the steam cars.
Having come to Webster on visit, she
decided to master her fear and enjoy a
fast mile or two in one of the local ee-
gantly arranged vestibule cars. She had
read about various trolley accidents. yet
her first ride was in every way a success.
She was delighted with the motion of the
cars. the scenery, attention and polite
ness of the car crew. She says that here
after she will patronize the electric roads
as much as possible. She intends to take
trip to Worcester by trolley before she
returns to her home in the Nutmeg State.
Court Friendship, F. of A., accom-
panied by the st. Jean Baptiste Band,
went to oxford Thursday night and at
tended the Oxford court fair. It was
Webster night. Besides the regular cars
on the Worcester and Webster road,
there were two special cars. The enter
tainment was given by local talent. VIII
liam j. McGeary swung clubs There
were songs by Maurice F. Clare and John
j. Breen. The fair was crowded.
There was meeting of the young
people of the Congregational Church in
the church vestry Thursday evening, by
invitation of the pastor, Rev. Andrew
Campbell. The object is the formation of
a young peoples society on broader lines
than those of the Y. P. s. C. E., which
voted to disband week ago. Following
the business meeting there was a social
hour.
The Woman's Foreign Missionary So
ciety of the Methodist Episcopal Church
held meeting Thursday afternoon in the
church. Mrs. Cyrus Spaulding read a re-
port of the New England convention at
Portland. which she attended as a dele
gate. The death of Miss Isabella Tho
burn. a missionary, was deplored.
