Circuit Judge j. N. Tillman, in
his charge to the grand jury at
Fayetteville, strongly urged the
enforcement of the law against
pistol carrying. The Judge de-.
clared it would be difficult to
estimate the trouble, expense and
number of deaths this pernicious
and reckless practice has caused,
and concluded by saying that he
had never yet heard of a pistol,
carried as weapon by private
citizen, serving any useful pur-
pose whatever.

Immediately after the st. Louis
convention, the Record said that
with Mr.. Bryan's influence the
democrats might not elect Judge
Parker, but that without Mr..
Bryan's help Parker would surely
be defeated. Mr.. Bryan has not
sulked in his tent, but has given
Judge Parker his hearty support,
and if Parker wins the presidency
it will be more through the efforts
of W. j. Bryan than any other
man. The many who do notagree
with the Nebraskan on some
questions must recognize his
valuable services in bringing in-
to line his large following in
many places, which on other
campaigner could do. Judge
Parker, recognizing the aid Mr..
Bryan had rendered his can
didacy, a few days ago sent him
a telegram thanking him for the
splendid service he had given to
the democratic party in Indiana
and elsewhere during the cam
paign.

VOID AMENDMENTS.
Attorney General George "

Attorney General george w.
Murphy last week gave out an
fficial opinion which may
change the present election laws
and also the present method OF
filling official vacancies.
Col. Murphy says, and presents
considerable authority 10 sustain
his contention, that at least four
of the amendments accepted as a
part of the state constitution are
void, and must be held 80 until
tested in the courts. The two
IN ost important OF these are No.
2, submitted in 1892, providing
that a poll.tax receipt is neces-
sary qualification for voting.
This amendment lacked LABS OF
a majority Of all votes cast. No.
8, submitted in 1894, giving the
governor power to fill vacancies,
lacked 20,037 of a majority of all
the votes cast.
Ths law states that an amend.
ment may be adopted "if a
majority of the electors voting at
such election adopt such
a nendment," and Col. Murphy
contends that the law does not
mean an amendment can be ad-
opted if it receives a majority OF
the votes cast for or against, but
that it must have a majority of all
the votes cast in the election. In
this view, he is sustained by many
of the best lawyers in the state.
A case in Lincoln county will
no doubt prove test.case in the
courts on the validity OF amend
ment No. 3. At the September
election B. A. Meroney was
elected circuit clerk in that
county, but died on October &,
He had not been commissioned
or qualified. Governor Davis ap-
pointed a citizen to ill the term
to which he was elected, but, H.
D. Palmer, this old clerk, acting
upon the advice of General
Murphy will not relinquish the
office to the appointee, citing
that part of the constitution which
says "all officers shall continue
in Office after the expiration OF
their official terms until their
successors are elected and quail
fed"
Colonel Murphy, in conclusion
of his opinion to Palmer said:
"It follows that if you resist the
appointment, stand on your
rights, you will hold the office OF
circuit clerk of your county until
your successor is elected and
qualified" ~"
Colonel Murphy intends to carry
his contentious into the courts,
where it is believed by able law
yers that he will be upheld.

particular and special s., da-d floats in
the breezes from the fagst 7fss of the Lady
Managers Home
And there is the rub. The Board of Lady
Managers, who have about everything else
that their hearts desire. lack flagstaff.
They have the flag, beautiful bright red
pennant with letters of pure white "mys-
tic, wonderful like the cerements OF the
Lady of the Enchanted Mere, but no flag
staffs.
For several long weeks the ladies have
had their own flag, made to order and de-
signed specially for them, after their own
ideas. For the same number of long weeks
they have been unable to glory in their
possession, because. forsooth. the architect
who designed the Physics building. in
which they make their home, had not the
foresight to provide it with fiagstaffs, and
the hard-hearted men TO whom they have
applied TO supply the delinquency have
proven dilatory.
The flag; of the Board of Lady Managers
Is bright carmine. with the legend in
letters of white. Board of Lady Man
ayers" The flag is pennant-shaped. and
necessarily very long, as 1t was desired to
nave the inscription run straight across
tne nag Iengthwise instead of putting it
on In two or more lines.

OF all the many flags Of Worlds Fair Dig

FLAG DESIGNED.
The flag vas designed by Superintendent
Of Construction Tritle upon an order from
Director Taylor after the ladies' had con-
cluded that they just must have flag of
hearer in Mr.. TAYLOR.
But when the flag was made and had
oeen sufficiently admired with a chorus
of feminine adfectfves from the noennhars
of the board. the distressing discovery was
made that there was absolutely no pIace
on the building from which to haunt the
brilliant standard W
1t was suggested that the great red
penhant be hung from a window of the
home Of the Board of Lady Managers like
the nags displayed from the windows of

It would look exactly lil-e an auction sale

ceiver
So they went back to Mr. Taylor and
politely but firmly requested four flag
poles for the home OF the Board of Lady
Managers-two for the official flags of
the Exposition, and two for the own par
ticular flag Of the Board Of Lady Man
ayers. 49,. T7T
What Mr.. Taylor did with the request is
not known. but so far the flag poles have
not been erected on the building But
the ladies' have their Tag. and they win
not rest until they HAYS been provided
with the necessary facilities for its dis
play.

EXHIBIT FROM TWIN CITIES.
Minneapolis and st. Paul Display At
tracts Attention.

An interesting circumstance connected
with the Twin City Municipal Museum on
the Model Street. one of the Social Econ
ou,y exhibits under the supervision of
Howard J. Rogers, is the fact that 1t is
the product of the first important coop
erstiye enterprise ever undertaken by the
cities Of St Paul and Minneapolis
These cities stand nearly opposite each
other on the banks of the Mississippi
River and have many interests in COM
mon. but heretofore each municipality has
held aIoof from any project that involved
cooperative effort on the part of the two
cities. The committee of ten who have
charge Of This exhibit Is made up OF FIVE
representatives of each city, being COM
posed of members of the City Councils of
both cities and two lay members.
Another interesting feature is the fact
that the exhibit is purely municipal IN ma
ture. The various departments Of the city
governments, notably the departments of
public health and city parks, are repre-
sented by charts, maps. photographs and
Paintings. One of these, the quarantine
chart, shows the districts In the city of
Minneapolis N which there are cases of
contagious diseases. This chart is cor
rected daily from bulletins received by
wire from Minneapolis.

It was due to the presence of mind and
energy OF Miss Viva Grain, who was
sleeping in the Texas building at the time
of the fire in the Hoo-Hoo building yes
terday morning. that the historic relics
of the State, which were in the point Of
the building nearest the fire. were re-

With the aid of Miss Jessie Hall, Miss
Grain rallied the negro attaches or the
building, and before many were aware OF
the danger the building was in the relics
had been removed.
After the relics had been placed In

called for aid in protecting them against
possible theft A Jefferson Guard stepped
up and volunteered his services.
'Tf you will see that these relics are not
molested,' said Miss Grain, Il viii make
1t worth your while"
