How to Mark Ballot.

Senate Bill No. ., introduced by Sen.
ator Harris and approved by the Cen
eral assembly Of Colorado May 8, 1899,
forbids the using of emblems on the
official ballot and provides that across
the head of the ballot and just above
the list of nominations shall be printed
the words: III hereby vote o straight
............ ticket, except where 1
have marked opposite the name of
some other candidate.n In voting q
straight ticket you simply write the
name of the party you wish to vote for
in the blank space. If you wish to
vote for one or more candidates Of
another party you mark in the space
opposite these candidates and your
vote counts for them and not for the
candidates Of the party whose name
you wrote in the blank at the head
of the ticket. But if there should he two
or more candidates to he elected to the
same office Regents of the state Uni-
versity for example), you mark oppor
site the name of the candidate you
wish to vote for and also draw q
line through the name of the can
didate of the party whose name
you have written at the. top of your
ballot for whom you do not wish to
vote.

Dolores alone had been slighted or
overlooked by the fair management
in the sending out Of programs. Sew
eral inquiries were made at The Star
office for programs during the week Of
the fair. Printed programs are very
essential to properly advertise a fair
and without them it is impossible to
give everybody in the county an equal
chance to compete III the exhibits. II
the management did not have the
money to pay for the printing of pro-

would been to make that fact know

items on the debit and credit sides
balance one another. They are a
matter of bookkeeping and have no
relation to the expenditures of the
state, yet the Peabody managers in
clude the $50, 900 in the alleged
expenditures by Governor Adams.
Another item also appearing on
the debit side of the treasuyer's ac-
counts and included in the total is
S223,Io5 of bonds sold to cover the
debt incurred by Governor McIn-
tire in sending the militia to Lead
vile. This item is included in the
total footing as matter of course,
and the Peabody people place it
among the expenditures Of Gov
ernor Adams.
Another item on the debit side of
the treasurer's book is s241,75S re-
ceived by the treasurer from the
state land board. This represents
money belonging to the school fund
and was either added to the perma-
nent school fund or divided accord
ing to the per capita law among the
school districts. It has nothing to
do whatever with the expenses of
the state, yet the Peabody people
include it in the total which they
charge up to Governor Adams.

Another item on the treasurer's
books is $47, 900 received from the
United States government for the
experiment stations in connection
with the Agricultural college, which
money was turned over to the use
of the stations. It has nothing to
do with the taxes paid by the peo-
pie of this state and is a transaction
between the government and the
stations. which merely passes
through the hands of the state
treasurer. Several other items of
bookkeeping which appear on the
debit side of the treasurer's account
also have nothing to do with the
states expenses, bsat all are in

tration circulars reading as follows
are being widely distributed

Mr.. Patterson's personal organs, The
News and The Times, have lately been
harping on the alleged ''extravagance''
of Governor Peabody's administration.
As q matter Of fact, when all the cir.
culnstances are taken into Gpnsidera-
ton, 1t will be seen that the present
administration is the most economical
Colorado has had in years. The fol.

THESE FIGURES FALSE.
The above figures are absolutely
untrue and Mr.. Peahody's cam

In the Peabody figures given
above is included the military ex-

which certificates of Indebtedness
have been authorized. 1t amounts
to S842,oo7. Even If the military
expenditure be left entirely out of
account the expenditures by Gov
ernor Peabody foot up $3.50, 754,
or nearly double the expenditure Of
Alva Adams.
The reader will ask in astonish-
ment where the Peabody managers
get the figures which they are cir
culating. The answer will be found
by turning to page ~ Of the state
auditors report for 1897 and 1893.
1t will be found that the $3,471,763
which they give as the sum ex-
pended by Adams is in reality the
footing or total of the debit side Ct
the treasurer's books. Those books
show the transactions Of the state,
whether they are expenditures or
not, but the Peabody managers
take this total and tell the voters
that it represents what Alva Adams
spent, evidently believing that the
voters are fools.

lowers We're restricted to the colors.
Muffs have gone through more styles
than it would seem possible to invent
for such a simple article of convenience.
They have been long and narrow and
again, large aud round. One Of the
most curious styles was that of Louis
XIV, called the 'chiens mauchons,' be-
cause they were made to convey little
dogs in.
THE muff when first introduced was
the exclusive property of the nobility.
These NUTS were very small and con-
sisted of a single piece of velvet, bro
cade or silk lined WIN fur and tseocec-
ings fastened with rich jewels. such
arrangements came in during the early
part of the seventeenth century.
I'VE now associate the muff only with

NEW RIBBONS FOR WINTER
They Combine the Softness and Sheer
ness of the Broad Silk
Weaves

The new ribbons have taken to them
selves all the softness and sheerness
that characterize the broad silk weaves,
and the printings in the dull and faded
tones that are seen on the expensive
crepes, gauzes and chiffons are all re-
produced in the ribbons. In fact, some
houses are making a special feature of
broad silks and ribbons in the very same
designs, and delightful note of color
contrast is introduced in the latter in
the way of borGerings.
Ribbons broad and ribbons narrow, as
we'll as those of medium width, all find
novel applications upon the dressy
gowns. With printed centers the bor-
ders are often in two shades of a con-
trasting color, and these borders are in
green, rose, blue. brown and violet ac-
cording to the color scheme of the gown
Some exquisite ribbons are shown with
a metallic gold border, just the same
weave as appears on the military uni
forms of those of high rank, and a
beautiful effect is thus given to a one
color gown.

shooting on the picket lines, except
when Johnny or a Yank intruded on
forbidden territory, or when one side or
the other moved forward on a recon

quiet by an arrangement among the

OUTGENERALED HIS SON.
Incident of the Civil War as Told by
a Soldier Who Was
There.

In Clinton county, Missouri, there re-
sided an old Mexican war colonel, who
was extremely loyal to the southern
confederacy. He was well-to-do. own
ing large BODY of land, and as hos
pitable as was usual with southerners
at that time. But he could not see why
his sympathies should rot be against the
government, which he thought had a
mission to free the niggers." The idea
OF Mr.. Lincoln, 10 save the union, had
not entered his mind.
This old colonel was named Swearin-
ger. He was thoroughly business" in
those days, and was an oracle in his
way, all the phases of the moon were ia
miliar to him, and his crops brought
him large returns
But the old colonel had boy who was
colonel in the Missouri militia. His
family were all tor the union. 1t trans

The old colonel treated the boys in a
pleasant way, and suggested that he had
little corn on his home" place, but
there was lots OF corn" on his other
farm. So the old colonel steered the
foragers to the farm of the young
colonel.
Next day a file of soldiers went after
the old colonel, who was taken to head
quarters. The younger man called his

old man was sent home and told lis
