PRINTERS PROTEST.
Many Complaints About the New
Ballot Law.

All over the state the printers who have
to print the official ballots are joining in
the general protest against the ballot law,
only they are protesting more vigorously
than anybody else. 1t Is costing some of
them a great deal of money, although
those who get fun rates for printing the
ballots will make most of it back. Many
offices have had to order new type, al
though they had full outfit of small plea
capitals the type used heretofore in
printing the names on the ballot and
which is almost useless for anything else.
Ed Hoch, of the Marion Record, is il;
Topeka today and he says the ballot law
has cost him one hundred dollars this
week. a ;e 81
I'VE had the ballot nearly set up, using
small plea for the names the same as
heretofore. Then we got notice of that de-
cision yesterday that the names all had To
be set in BREWER. I don't use much BREWER
in my office and / telegraphed to Kansas
City for one hundred dollars worth of
BREWER type. Now see that Judge West
holds that it really wouldn't make any
difference if the ballot had been printed in
small plea.
printers all over the state are having
the same difficulty. I know of one man
who had to hurry to Kansas City all the
way from the short grass country In order
to buy new type. The ballot law is max
ing lots of trouble.
1--WE have one consolation though, It
isn't as bad for the voters as the ballots
in some states. 1 have a ballot here that
was sent me from Virginia that beats
ours all hollow as a hard proposition to
vote"
The ballot which Mr.. Hoch had was
printed in straight reading matter, all the
i candidates being run in one after another
/ There were no party headings whatever
and II took considerable searching to find
the name of any special candidate Be
sides that the voter has only two and a
half minutes in which to vote and he has
nc idea what shape the ballot would be II
until he entered the booth. The ballot is
prepared by commission and it is &
penal offense to give out any information
as to its size. shape or the form in which
the candidates are placed on the ballot
The idea, undoubtedly is to disfranch'/
the negroes, nearly all of whom are to-
ignorant to successfully cope with such 6
ballot. The same thing is probably true
! OF some of the whites.

London. Oct. 23.-The contention of
counsel for Charles T. Yerkes, before the

construction of the Piccadilly and city
road must be withdrawn, as the Nor

day through the withdrawal of its bill,

to proceed with the consideration Of the
bill.
The Associated Press learns that the
Morgans do not propose to abandon their
underground projects. Despite the decas-

Remains Inferred in the Family
Lot at Lees Summit.

Lees Summit Mo, Oct. 23.-The re-
mains of Jim Younger, the bandit. were
inferred in the family lot in the little GEM
etery near town today. A brief simple ser
vice was held at the home of n. S Fen

passed by the coffin. The house was
crowded and many were unable to gam
admittance. Mrs. Fenton, a niece of the
Younger boys, led a quartette which sang
Rest. Weary Heart Rev. S. N. Shiffler,
of the Presbyterian church, followed in
prayer, speaking a few appropriate words,
and then, after another song, the casket
was removed to the hearse.
The pail bearers were old associates of
the YoungerS, members of Quantreil S
band, and among the mourners were sew
eral who had fought with Quantreu, Price
and Shelby. These, with the relatives and
a long line of people from the surrounding
country, made up the cortege to the ceme-
terry. There the coffin was lowered into
a grave beside those of Younger's brother
and mother No services were said and
when the grave had finally been covered
over, a great quantity of flowers, sent by
friends from near and far, were piled on
top of the mound.
The relatives of the dead man present
included four sisters OF the Youngers,
Retta Rollins of Denison, Tex; Helen

Stanley's senatorial managers, has been

Stanley would get big majority This
would not be in disparageme of the
other candidates, because the people
generally believe that the other candi-
dates are doing good work in the house,
for which they are at present cand1-
dates for reelection. If the United

vote, Stanley would go to the senate
and the other senatorial candidates
would go back to the places in the lower
