WANT TO VOTE OVER.
Complications Over MenOken
Primary Before Committee.

An effort will be made at the meeting
of the Republican county central COM
mittee Friday when the returns of the
Saturday primary are canvassed to
have another vote taken in Menoken
township.
The ballots for the primary at Men
oxen did not reach the voting place UNI
til a short time before the polls closed
at o'clock, and only 40 votes were
cast AS the polls there were not open
from 2 until o'clock, as was ordered
in the official call, the voters there VIII
make an effort to have the primary IN
Menoken at least, declared void by the
central committee.
The ballots for Menoken were mailed
the Friday afternoon before the prl-
marfes by John Gardiner, secretary of
the Republican county central commit
tee. The supervisor named for the
Menoken polls, William Mead, was not
on hand when the polls opened and dld
not report during the day. The bal
lots were not there. After waiting a
time a man drove to Elmont, SIX miles
away, and secured the ballots from the
postoffice, but they did not reach the
polling place until nearly o'clock
Many people instead of waiting for the
ballots went home and told others VINO
were on their way to the polls that
there were no ballots there and that if
they went they could not vote, and
many turned back without going to the
polling place.
S. H Haines was defeated for the re-
nomination of commission by a small
ajority. 1t is probable that he would
have won by a safe majority had the
usual vote in Menoken township been
cast At the election in 1899 he received
90 votes. The Republican party vote in
1900 was no for A. NJ Callahan for
clerk of the district court, in Menoken.
1t is estimated that there are 125 Re
publican votes in the township, and as
only 40 were cast the effort will be
made for another primary 1t may be
that the central committee will call
new primary for the entire First COM
missioner district on account of the
Irregularities in Menoken township.

GEORGE AIDES PLAY
Well Received in Chicago on It's mi
tial Presentation.

Chicago, March 12.-"The Sultan of
Sulu," the new comic opera. or musical
comedy by George AIDE and Alfred G..
Walthall, had its first production last
night at the Studebaker theater, by the
Castle Square opera company.
1t was clearly the judgment of the
audience that the production was sue
cess, and at the end of the second act
the librettist and the composer We're
called for vociferously. Mr.. AIDE thank
ed the audience in a few modest and
witty words, the main point in which
was a compliment to the producer and
the company, since he said he felt sat
isfied that author and composer were
entitled to the smallest part of the
credit.
The comedy is founded on some of the
aspects of our relations with the newly
acquired islands. The introduction of
American mixed drinks to a Moham-
medan community, the perverted
humors of divorce grotesquely applied
to polygamous households, the creating
of military Judge advocate out of
tesquely impossible judicial powers, are
some of the conceptions worked out by
the author.
The book abounds in witty lines, the
point of the satire in most cases-being
directed at ourselves and our social and
political motives and customs.
The hits at the practice of converting
politicians into military officers are keen
and telling.
The lyrics are at least singable and
are frightened with touches of humor
and wit. There is much that no doubt
will be changed before many repreSen-
tations, but as it is the book gives the
impression of unusual cleverness.
The music of Mr.. Walthall and a few
numbers written by H. d. Mann fits
the book capitally as a rule. The chorus
THE Imperial Guards March," and
THE Cuckoo and the Clock" sung by
Miss Quinlan and Mr.. Lift, both in the
second act, are examples of that which
is quite sure to be popular. Only time
can tell how well the music will wear
but at the present the music stands
well abreast of the book, and both
caught the fancy of the audience last
night. In fact, SO persistent were the
encores that the largest part of the
work was sung two and three times
over

Wichita wants to build an auditorium

raise $4,000 by a gift concert scheme,
similar to that used at Kansas City;
$4,000 more it expects to realize from
the sale of two old fire stations and
$4,000 more will be secured by a bond
issue. The proposed auditorium will
seat 1000 people. Some of the Wichita
citizens want it made to seat 5000. so

Mrs. Ramey, as she is known in that

she had taken the poison, which she
said was arsenic, by mistake.
DR.. White sent for a stomach pump
when the woman refused to take medi-
cine. She firmly declared that she would
swallow nothing, but when the instru-
ment arrived she took a good look at
it and then changed her mind, and sig
nified a willingness to take anything in
preference to the search and seizure
method. She notified one of her neigh
bors several days ago that she intended
to commit suicide, and the police say
she made a similar attempt some time
ago. She had evidently taken all the
to find any more when they searched
the house. The woman will recover

NOT so BAD AS TT SEEMS.
Decision of Supreme Court Against
Antitrust Law.

Springfield. ILL.,, March 12.-According
to the opinion of Attorney General
Hamlin and other officials, the decision
handed down by the United States su-
preme court declaring the antitrust
law of this state unconstitutional is not
nearly so significant as some persons
believe. The law passed upon by that
tribunal is not as commonly supposed
the only one providing for an annual
report by the corporations of the state
to the secretary of state, with an ac-
companying affidavit to the effect that
the corporation has not entered into any
sort of trust. The law passed upon Is
one making the act of entering into any
such combination a nisdemeanor and
providing a penalty for such action.
