EIGHT SONS VOTERS
Franklin County Boasts the Largest
Family Of Voters Yet Found, Eight
Sons Having Reached the Voting Age
And Ali Are Republicans.

Special to Times Republican.
Hampton, Sept. 1.-Franklin county
boasts the largest family of voters that
has yet been found. William Harris
of Richland township has eight sons
who are all of legal age and who all
vote the republican ticket. On every
election day the entire male portion OF
the family go together to the Richland
township polls and vote the straight re-
publican ticket. They have always
voted for republicanism and will be
solid for Roosevelt and Fairbanks this
fall.
Harris came to Franklin county
about fifteen years ago and with only
a little property started farming, to-
day he owns nearly three sections OF
the best land in Franklin county. He
believes the republican party and re-
publican doctrines are the most liable
to insure him good times and has IN
stilled this belief in his sons as they
Rave grown up. Harris is from Eng
land, but he and his family are now
thoroughly Americanized and are gooo
citizens. The sons are all Well edu~
Gated and have attended both country
and city schools.
They live on large tract of land
about twelve miles northwest of
Hampton, ana all vote at the same
place.
AS far as can be ascertained this is
the largest family OF voters who llVe
together, and all vote the same tlcAet
at the same place.

SCHOOL CENSUS OF IOWA.
Apparent carIessness in Taking
Seen in the Reports.

Des MONIES. Sept. 1.-The school
census Of Iowa last year was under
the showing of four years ago. This
is all wrong. Superintendent Barrett
called attention to it last year; Sup
erintendent Riggs will call attention
to it this year.
In 1900 the federal census showed
about 10000 more persons of school
age in Iowa than did the school CEN
sus. The school census is supposed to
be taken 80 that every person between
the ages of S and 81 years on Septem-
Der 10, shall be counted. The school
boards which organize this month
must arrange for the taking of the cen-
sus. Superintendent Riggs will urge
them to exercise great care in taking
the census and see that it is accurate in
every particular.
In fact, when school district fails
to put in the name of a person who
should be included in the census 1T
suffers direct financial loss for the APP

CITY JUDGE MAY PRACTICE.
Thus Rules Supreme Court in Suit
Against Railroad.

In the damage suit Of Mary J. Mich
ols against the Oregon Short Line

Yesterday rendered an opinion written
by Justice Bartch. UNFOLDING the de-
Cision of the district court which
awarded her $1,000 damages for inju-
RES received in May. 1900, In a COLI
sion near Bancroft while she was on
Ter way 10 Soda Springs. The case has
been twice appealed
The principal ground for the appeal
was that II. 5. Tanner one OF the wO-
mans attorneys. was a city judge.
This was 0verruled on the ground that
city judge was no higher than an
ordinary justice of the peace. who is
permitted to argue cases outside of his
own court Another objection made by
the railroad was that the loss Of menu
cry which the woman claimed To have
incurred was not necessarily produced
b. the accident. The court held that a
loss Of memory might just as reason
ably follow as any other injury The
company's attorneys claim that the
Csmages were excessive was overruled.
The court holds that the amount OF
the damages is a matter wholly within
the province Of the trial jury. As long
IS there Is evidence TO support the YER
diet the supreme court holds that-it has
10 power to pass upon it or to set il
aside as being excessive.
