Have you thought anything about the kind of wall paper you will buy? Say you employ the best decorator in town. If you furnish him with wall paper poor in quality, cheap in design, he can't do good job. Wall paper is a little different than anything else You don't buy it by weight. Nor because it will wear like iron. You choose this piece or that piece sole ly for it's pattern. There's small difference between ugly and pretty papers, except in appear ance.
 We know you will be pleased with Pittsburg Wall Papers. You are most welcome to come just to see.

Election Board in Third Ward
Could Not Decipher TaIIies.
Ordered Totals as Shown by
Legible Sheet Put Down.
ALTERED BY A CLERK.
Tried to Make Book Conform to
the Other.
The MayoraIty Question Before
Judge Hazen Tomorrow.

A member of the election board of the
third precinct of the Third ward gave a
State Journal reporter the following ex-
planation of the discrepancies in the poll
book in this precinct:
One of the clerks was James Martin,
a young colored man who had little ex-
perience in that kind of work. When
the count was completed it was found
that his record was unintelligible and 1t
did not correspond with that kept by
Mr.. Roberts, the other clerk. He started
to make it conform with Mr.. Roberts
poll sheet, for no one on earth could
tell what his tallies meant and he added
some and scratched out others. Finally
when it was found that the tally sheet
could not be made ineligible the Judges
agreed to take Mr.. Roberts figures and
the totals were made from his book.
The Martin poll sheet was left at the
office of the commissioner of elections
and that kept by Mr.. Roberts filed with
the county clerk That is why the dis
crepancy appeared in the tally sheet ex-
amined by the city council
This is the place at which the council
decided Mr. Parker lost three votes. The
election board has been subpoenaed to
explain the matter.
In the first precinct of the Second
ward the judges say that the same con-
ditionS prevailed. If the two poll sheets
had been available by the canvaSslng
board it would have at once been evil
dent how the mistakes occurred. but the
only means for unravelling the tangle
was safely locked in the vault at the Of
flee of the county clerk.
The mandamus question will come be-
fore Judge Hazen in the district court
tomorrow. The purpose of this suit is
to compel the canvassing board to give
Mr.. Parker a certificate on the face of
the returns After this is decided then
an action will undoubtedly be COM
menced which will lead to d recount of
the ballots which is after all what the
people want to see done.

HOPEFUL IN CHINA.
But African Situation Presents
Few Attractions to England.

New York April 10.-A dispatch to the
Tribune from London says:
Reports Of an outbreak OF fresh re-
bellion in China are not confirmed and
are attributed to Earl LIS disconsolate
reflection that everything win go wrong
since his advice has not been needed
The more trustworthy dispatches indi-
cate a steady progress at PeSin in the
direction of a settlement by which the
court can speedily return to the capital
Count Won Waldersee is keeping the COM
manders OF the allied forces together, and
an agreement on all essential points is
assured.
There seems to be some hope that the
Chinese empire is taking to heart the
lesson it has been so roughly taught, if
one may judge from the list of reforms
proposed by provincial viceroys and gov
ernors. The scheme includes the educa-
tion abroad of princes and future high
officials, we'll the reorganization
of the army on western models, and 9TH

of greater security and administrative
efficiency The indemnity negotiations
are proceeding satisfactorily and a clear
