It ain't simple to be poor, it ain't sim pie to be without clothes, it ain't sim pie to be pious or sober. We're pretty simple to believe all I tell you but ye may not be as simple as tn thruth. Tn fact iy tn matther is that tn rale thruth is niver simple. What we call thruth an pass around firm hand to hand is on'y a kind iv currency that we use fr convenience.

THREW OUT 256 BALLOTS.
Board Gives Election to W. T. David
son by ~ Votes.

The recount Of the ballots OF the
city was completed late yesterday
afternoon and W. T. Davidson was
declared elected justice over R. Korna
by 81 votes. On the official count
last Novembe Korns won by 10 votes.
In the recount Of 256 ballots out OF
the 1854 cast in the town were thrown
out on technicalties. The principal
ground was that one Of the pencil
marks making the cross-mark by
which ballot is marked extending a
trifle over the line Of circle or square
in which the lines crossed each other.
All ballots in which this occurred
were declared void. The ruling
seems a peculiar one to layman as it
would invalidate about one-third OF
the ballots cast in the county. 1t is
much easier to extend the line out
side q circle than outside 0 square,
consequently the independent candi-
date gets the best Of it and the voters
who vote the straight ticket are the
ones who oftenest lose their vote.
Such q ruling enforced throughout
the county would change the election
reiult entirely.
1t is hoped that some higher court
will be asked to pass on the ruling.
II it stands an election becomes a
mighty precarious piece Of guess
work.
Two contests were tried in Center
township. G. R. Lamb. Republican,
won for trustee by 8 votes. j. F.
Lindahl,, Democrat, contested and on
recount won by z votes. F. W. KARL
Republican. lost for clerk by one vote
and contested H. N. Knox, Democrat.
On recount Knox's majority was in
creased to 6.
In Enterprise 11s votes were de-
clared void, only 121 being left cor
rect. In Detroit 40 were declared
void, only 20 being left correct.

Triple Tie Wins Case in Sedgwicb
Court.

VUUkw
On the 18th Of August, 1902, Henry
T. Goode, q member Of Wichita
Council, No. 81, Of the Triple Tie,
died from the effect Of pistol shot In
the head. At the time 1t was re-
ported in the Wichita papers as . case
Of suicide.
The coroner of sedgwick county
wrote that IL was undoubtedly sui
eide; that he was so welE satisied
upon that fact that he did not deem
IL necessary to hold an inquest.
The constitution Of the Triple Tie,
% we'll as its certificates, provide that
suicide voids the insurance. The
proof Of death was filed In September,
1902, and the claim was rejected by
the board of directors October ID,
1902.
A short time after this date suit
was filed in the district court Of Sedg.
wick county for the full amount Of the
certificate, $1,000. This suit has been
continued from time TO time until
this week when 1t went to trial before
a Jury. The trial Of the case con-
sumed two days. This morning the
Jury returned a verdict for the de-
PENDANT, or the Triple Tie.
