not be counted for such Office
There are other provisions of that
law which safeguard in every way the
right of the citizen to exercise the fran
chise. Every ballot was considered as
1t in fact is, the voice of citizen in a
country in which all citizens are equal
1t cannot be emphasized too strongly
that the voter must mark his ballot
with an indelible pencil, that the
mark he makes must be a cross mark
that the cross mark must be complete-
~ within the square placed oppo
site the name of the candidate. and
that any mistake in any one of these
particulars or putting one more cross
mark for any one office more than the
voter is entitled to put will DESTROY the
entire ballot. If a mistake is made
the voter should not attempt to cor
rect it by erasure because blurr up
on the ballot will destroy the ballot.
Each voter is entitled to a new ballot
If he spoils the first ballot, and upon
returning the spoiled ballot will re-
ceive another from the Judge holding
the ballots, and if he spoils the second
ballot he can obtain third, but no
more. This section of the old law has
not been altered and this fact should
be remembered by the voter.
AS before indicated, the voter will no
longer receive any assistance in mark
ing his ballot. The ballot clerks can
only help the blind and those pbvsi-
cally unable to mark ballot. A man
who can see and has the use of his
hands must do the best he can with
out aid, although he is unable to read.
As there will not appear any instruc-
lions on the ballot informing the intel
llgent voter as to how many candi-
dates he should vote for, it would be
well to secure this information before
entering the polling booth.
The law is rigid. The intention of
the voter is ignored altogether. The
provisions are made mandatory. A
slight slip of the pencil, an oversight
IN putting one mark too many. may
render the ballot void. There has
been some difference of opinion as to
the construction of some of the provi-
sions but there is little room for it.
The law is clear and the method of
voting most difficult.

was full of bones, and the Lord God
saith unto these bones, behold, will
cause breath to enter into you and we
shall live"
In the trees so lately denuded of
their leaves, but now clothed in the
fullness of their foliage: in the fields
so lately bare, but now arrayed in
verdure green, and in the tiny flowers
so lately denuded of their beauty, but
now decked with radiant loveliness
we see portrayed in living proof the
glorious doctrine of the resurrection.
Both prophecy and nature attest that
life and death is the inexora BILE law of
the universe.
The dead that bivouac in the earth
shall live again. At the sound of the
trumpet they shall rise again, and
these bodies shall be clothed in i'm
mortal youth.

WILL PAY THE EXTREME PENALTY.
CzOlgOSz, the Assassin of President Nc
Kinley, Will Be ElectrOcuted.

BUFFALO, Sept. 24.-At 1926 this
afternoon the jury which for two

utes. The result, of course, was ex-
pected by Czolgosz himself, as well as
everybody else in the United States.

der the statutes until two days elapse.
The prisoner will then be transferred

not take place until six weeks from
the date of sentence.

Obituary.,

Amos Wesley Savage was born at
Sang Run, Md, on August 30, 1926,
and died at his home in the same
neighborhood on September 6, 1901,
aged 70 years and days.
He was the youngest son of Robin
son and Sarah Savage, who were both
noble Christian characters and pre-
coded him years ago to the better
land.
His father was a leading man in his
neighborhood and served a number
OF years as magistrate and was also a
school teacher in his time and was
noted for honesty, integrity and gen
eral uprightness.
In character the son closely resem-
bled the father. He was converted in
early life and united with the Metho-
dist Episcopal church, in which he
was an active member and faithful
Sunday school worker for many years.
He died the peaceful death of the
righteous, and after the funeral ser
vices, which were conducted by his
pastor, his body was laid to rest by
the side of that of his recently de-
parted wife. where they together
await the dawning of that Blessed
Day"
He was the father of nine children;
had 25 grandchildren and 2 great
grandchildren. May they all live so
that they meet him in that Heavenly
home.

Smallpox in Williamsport.

Smallpox is believed to exist in
the city of Williamsport. Monday
DIR. Nuts coachman was removed
to the pest house. Many new cases
have broken out at Proctorville,
Montoursville and in the neighbor-
hood Of Loyalsockville.
Health Officer Youngman, of Will
Transport, says: ga reference to the
annual report of the national board
of health shows that the outbreak of
smallpox at Loyalsockville resem-
bles at least 800 or 400 similar epi-
denies reported from different Sec
tions of the country during the last
two or three years. The malady is
the Cuban variety of the smallpox
and was evidently brought into this
country by soldiers returning from
Cuba. In almost every instance II
has ragged in mild form, and as a
consequence has been left to spread
quite extensively before its true ma
ture has been ascertained by the au.
thorities. 1t has rarely proved fatal
In this respect 1t differs materially
