GENERAL REGISTRATION NOT
REQUIRED THIS YEAR.
WHAT THE STATUTE SAYS
Persons Who Have Registered Since
1898 and Still Remain In Same Pre-
cinct not Required to Register

| AS the time for the registration of
voters approaches there appears to be
considerable confusion regarding who
are required to register this year. It
appears from perusal of the law in
the matter that no general registra-
tion will be required in this city or
county this year, but those who have
not registered in any Of the 10 regis
tration districts of the county during
the past six years, or who, having so
| registered during that period have re-
| moved from the registration district
since registering, are required TO
again register this year in the regis
tration district in which they now re-
side, but must have their registration
in the other district cancelled and OBJ
tain d certificate to that effect which
must be presented i'll the new district
before they will be permitted to regis
ter in such new district.
The act relating to the registration
of electors, approved March 9, 1897,
provides that the reg istry agent shall
keep his office open between the
hours of a. III. and 9 p. M, on all le-
gal days, from a. IN. OF the fourth
Monday prior to any general election
to 9 p. m. of the second following Sat
urday," and on "the second Mon
day prior to any general election from
{n ~ ~, IA 4
| only such as can satisfy the registry
agent THAT they were, by sickness or
other physical disability, or by un-
avoidable absence during the entire
previous two weeks last past, from
such registration district, unable to
register al any time during the two
| weeks last past" will be permitted to
| register.
"Provided: That except in regis
tration districts included in an incor-
porated town or city, which town or
city contained at the last preceding
state election over 1000 registered
voters, such general registration of
all voters shall only be required every
eight years, from and after the year
1898, and any person who has been
| registered in any district, except as
| above noted, at any time within said
eight year periods, and who has been
a continuous resident of such district
| since such reg istration, shall be en-
titled to vote, if otherwise qualified,
without further registration.
Two years hence another general
registration will be required in all dis
tricts, for by that time the eight year
period will haye expired.
The qualifications for voters are.
briefly, as follows: Full age of q
years; full citizenship before the day
of election, evidenced i'll the case of
naturalized citizens by their final
papers; residenc in the state for one
year and of the county 80 days next
preceding election day.
Registration for city election and
registration for a general election are
two entirely different matters and the.
one in nowise affects the other. Reg
istration for the last city election does
not excuse lack of registration for the
general election this fall. If you were
not registered for the general election
two years ago you must register this.
year if you want to vote.

Bryan, when informed today of the death

He was one of the most forceful fig

MINES COLLIDE.

st. Petersburg, Feb. 1S.-Captaln Steph-
enof who was blown up in the torpedo
gun boat Yenisei and who himself in
vented the system of laying submarine
torpedoes which is considered responsible
for the catastrophe. had caused the Yen
isei to be fitted with his device for the
rapid laying of mines with a troyyel
line extending beyond the vessels stern
along which the mines slid out and drop
ped into their appointer places. This plan
did away with the cumbersome work Of
laying the mines from small boats. The
accident was due TO the excessive strain
on the Yenisei's anchor cables while the
mines were suspended pending the INNER
sion. The two cables snapped and one
mile collided with another.
