Abandoned Attempt.
Delaware Breakwater, Del, Feb. II.
The tugs Somers N. Smith and Juno,
which left here last night to go to the
assistance of a schooner on fire at sea,
returned at o'clock this morning and
reported that the vessel was a two
masted schooner. Both anchors were
down and the schooner was a solid
mass of fire. She was burned to the
waters edge and 1t was not possible
to learn her name. The burning ves-
sci was about 2 miles off Cape May.
or soft coal and was old.
After leaving the blazing ship the
two tugs cruised in the vicinity for
two hours searching for the crew, who
were believed to be afloat in a small
boat. Although they sent up 12 rock
cts, their search was. not successful
and both returned here The steam
pilot boat Hila continued the hunt un-
til daylight, but saw not a sign of the
missing crew.
The life savers from the stations
at Cape May, Cape May point and Two
Mile Beach, returned to their
homes today telling graphic stories of
their long and unavaillng struggle
against the elements in their efforts
to lend assistance to the crew of the
burning ship.
The night was about the coldest of
the winter and the darkness was al
most fmpenetrable. In addition there
was wind enough to make the sea
choppy, and therefore dangerous for
small craft. For several days past
great quantities OF ice has been float
ing out of Delaware bay and this IS
packeu along the shore and extend
ing several miles out to sea. The
burned schooner was first observed on
fire about 5 o'clock yesterday after.
noon. At that time she appeared to
be Embedded in the drifting ice. The
three life saving crews from this vi
cinity were joined by the crews from
two stations north Of here and these
men battled for hours in fruitless en-
deavor to penetrate the ice and get to
the perchance imperilcd crew Of the
ship. Their efforts were IN vain, how
ever las they were unable to force
their frail boats through the packed
Ice. Long after midnight the brave
men gave up their battle against the
elements and returned to shore. Their
suffering was intense. One of the surf
men from the city was found to be
badly frozen, and he was carried in an
almost unconscious condition from the
beach to the station, where medical
assistance was rendered. All during
the night the residents of this place
lined the beach and watched the burn
Ing ship through marine glasses. When
the fire was at it's height lne flames
leaped high into the air. Today smoke
Is issuing from the hulk, which ap-
pears to be drifting in the ice. The
schooner was first seen about miles
off Cape May Saturday night. 1t is
believed she was then caught in the
ice. which finally started a leak and
led the captain to set fire to the ship
and abandon her

We would like to ask question
and any one who can and will ans
wer it will confer great favor
upon thousands who are at pres
ent in doubt: Can any one tell
us why a man should not be al
lowed to run for Office on as many
tickets as the people see fit to
place him on. 1t is true the anti
fusion law prohibits it, but we
are unable to understand and
there are manv others likewise,
why, providing man is qualified,
a good citizen and an upright
man, and the people want him to,
should be prohibited from ac-
cepting nominations, and running
for office on as many tickets as
the people may desire.-Greens-

BERTHACAMPBELLl
For County Surveyor,
JOHN H. ELLIS

L ne ABOVE county llCketS are
calculated to give the voter an
idea of the present election law.
On the general ballot there will
be six'state tickets and one blank
column in the extreme right hand
column of the ballot and the two
county tickets as printed above.
The instructions at the top will
be printed across the entire
width of the ballot. Wewill pub
lish the entire ballot a week or
two before the election.
In the above, it must be borne
in mind that the Republican and
Democratic State tickets will ap-
pear under the respective party
EN- blems.
If you desire to vote a straight
ticket, make a cross x mark in
the circle under the emblem of
whichever ticket you desire to
vote, and nowhere else on the
ballot.
If you mark 10 the circle at the
top of ticket, and mark in the
squares on any other ticket, your
ballot will be declared void and
not counted.
If you mark in twoor more cir
cles on the ballot, your ballot will
also be declared void.
To vote straight ticket, make
cross mark in the circle at the
top and then stop. Any other
mark on the ballot will ruin it.
If you do not desire to vote a
straight ticket, do not make any
cross x mark in any of the cir
cles, but proceed to make your
cross K marks in the squares al
the right OF the names of the can
didates for whom you wish to
vote, on whatever ticket they ap.
pear. You can vote for whoever
you please, on whatever ticket
you please, but you must not
mark in the circle,
There is nothing in the law to
prevent the voter from voting for
whom he chooses, on different
tickets, but to do it, you must
not mark in any circle.
For instance, a Democrat de-
sires to vote his state ticket, he
also desires to vote for county
treasurer on the Republican tick
ct, there being no candidate on
his ticket, he must make cross x
marks at the right of all the can
didates on his ticket until he
reaches county treasurer, then
goto the Republican column and
mark the cross after the candi-
date and go back to the Demo
cratic column and continue the
cross marks after the remainder
of the candidates.
Likewise, Republican has
some friends on the Democratic
county ticket for whom he wishes
to vote, he also must keep out of
the circle and make the cross x
marks opposite the names on his
state ticket until he reaches the
candidates on the opposite ticket
and there mark the cross after
the candidates names.
To vote for a candidate whose
name is not printed on the ballot
write the name under the title
of the proper Office in the blank
column and make the cross mark
FIN the square after the written
name.
Meade County news. [volume] (Meade, Kan.) 1900-1918, 1902-10-09

Voters should read carefully
the instructions as the top of
their ballot before making any
cross marks. There is danger
of spelling your ballot and hav-
ing it thrown out by the judges
if you do not mark it properly.
