vestiaated.

Denver, Col, Dec. 7.-Startling de-
yelopments we're made In the supreme
court In the trial Of the six election
officials of Ward S, precinct ., who are
charged with contempt. George III.
King. handwriting expert, said that
fifty-seven Of the ballots in the box
had been written by ten different per-
sons. The highest number written by
one person was nineteen. The lowest
was two. Five republican ballots were
written by one person. The other
fifty-two ballots on which the expert
noted similarity Of handwriting were
democratic
1T Is evident that two kinds OF ink
were used in the writing of the bal
lots" said King. Whether this was
occasioned by two different kinds be-
ing furnished by the election commis-
sion or whether certain ballots were
written outside the booths, of course.

1t is the general belief among the
attorneys who have followed the con-

suit Of the discoveries made by the
court will be to bring the ballot box Of
every precinct where contempt is
charged into court for examination.

Of a specially prepared electrode into

brought in contact with about an inch
square Of the wall of the organ, the
galvanometer registered nearly 10 mil

electro-chemic one; also that this cur

vents the digestion OF teh stomach by

Port Arthur, Ont, Sept. 3.-Rinaldo
Mcconnell of Ottawa, Canada, has been
doing development work in the vicinity
of Port Arthur, and upon one of his
properties has proved, it is asserted,
over 100000 tons of iron ore. The in
dications are that the ore body extends
q considerable distance, and the Cana
dian Iron company, limited, has been
organized with capital of 100000
to develop lands adjoining: This COM
expects to explore extensively before
next summer r. w. DeMorest, of Sud
bury is engineer for the company. : 2
In connection with the work of the
International Iron company on Hunters
island, and that of R.. II. Flaherty, a
few miles east of Port Arthur, this in
dicates marked revival in interest on
the Canadian side Of the international
line. Mr. Flaherty's work is said to
be proving the existence of a consid
cradle ore-bearing formation, and as it
lies near that of Mr.. Mcconnell, the in
dications are for possible ore-bearine
range of no small dimensions.
The work of the International Iror
company is further to the west anc
south, and is in an area that has Ions
last winter tunnels were driven into thu
Jasper and banded ores Of the formation
and this summer a diamond drill ha
been placed there and has been boring
for some months. The results so ia
have been encouraging. The Canadian

FLAYS CARHART
AND ROBINSON
SCANDINAVIAN PAPER SPRINGS
A SENSATION IN TRAILL.
President of Normal Charged with
Being Autocratic and Extravagant
: Robinson Reelection as Senator
Opposed on the Ground That He Is
a Supporter of the President.
Special to The Journal.

+. I 3
Grand Forks, N. D., Sept. BIN an
article several columns in length, the
Statstidende, Scandinavian paper
publisheds. at Hillsboro, opposes Colo
mel w. H, Robinson Of Mayville, can
didate for reelection as state senator,
on the ground that he is a friend of
President Carhart of the. .Mayyille
normal school. The article has little
to say about. Colonel Robinson, but is
an arraignment, of the course Of Presi-
dent Carhart: and is likely to create
something of a. sensation. =
The article charges that President
Carhart is autocratic and dictatorial;
that he has mot been able to live on
terms of harmony with his faculty
that he denies to- the faculty members
any legislative powers, holding them
to be merely advisory to him; that his
mana cement. is extrapagant; that. his
work lis. so unsatisfactory that the. at
tendance is falling of, and hat il
order to- conceal this fact the spfesi
dent has juggled the figures relating
to the attendance: These and Other
charges, are made in detail. ,.s<.-
Concerning the attendance the writer
says that in the last two catalogs the
attendance at the summer school has
been punched with. the regular schoo
attendance so as to swell the total
| the figures for 1903 being given a:
29O, and those for 1904 being 376
The summer school attendance ii
1903 is stated to have been abou
l25, and for the present year abou
$50, leaving regular school attend
ance Of approximately 1853 and 1875 re
spectively. The ecatalog for 1885,
shows an attendance for that year O.
ia, and, according to the writer's fig
. ures, there has, of course, been =;
marked decrease. = .-,- .. -, ~ -
According to- the. statement mad
the cost of running the institution TO
seventeen months beginning with Jan
uary, 1898, the beginning of Presi
dent Carhart 8 term, was $l6,974 Is
while for the seventeen months be
ginning January, 1903, it was $27
$3.50, that is; materially increase
cost for materially decreased regr
lar attendance. -, 49, = -.
One reason advanced why Colone
Robinson should not be elected is tina
he has been largely responsible fo
the retention Of President Carhar
and another is that, still being in fl
! vor of the president, he proposes t
ask the legislature for an approprit
ton Of 100000 for the enlargement 6
