A two-inch snow Sunday followed
by three inches more today have
thoroughly soaked the surface ofthe
wheattields. The storm was the eli
max Of the storm conditions which
brought cold weather last week on
the heels Of few days Of summer
heat. A similar event occurs every

Heretofore at our city election in

used at our polling places. This
course was necessary inasmuch as the
women could not vote for justices Of
the peace and constables, hence ~ .

one box for oil the other Offices, while
the men voted in . second box for
justices, constables, mayor, council
men. etc. The biennial election law
has made justices and constablss
elective At the general election in the
fall and the men are not enabled
to vote for any officers at the city
election that the ladies arr not. The

Bungling Clerical Work Hits Regis
tiers Of Deeds.

The failure of the senate enrolling
committee to perform its duty Is
causing all sorts OF trouble and may
result in wrecking the political for
tunes OF some OF the members OF the
legislature during the recent session.
A law was enacted permitting the
register Of deeds in number Of cOun
ties to utilize their excess fees for
clerk hire.
1t is the opinion Of a good many
lawyers that the law will be declared
invalid as the bill which was passed
by the legislature and the one signed
by the governor were entirely differ
