THE new Law
OF REGISTRATION
Under New Statute Only, the
New Voters in the Pre-
cinct Must Register
---The Duty Of
Registrars.

The last legislature made a num-
Der of changes in the election law,
one of which requires the registra-
ton books to be kept open during
every Saturday from and after the
first day of September and including
the last Saturday next preceding the
day of election. - Heretofore the reg
istration books we're opened on the
first Saturday of August.
Under the law now person who
registered at the preceding election
and is still voter in the same pre-
cinct is not required to register
again, the registrar being required to
transfer all such names to the new
election register Here is the law on
that subject: "The board must also
furnish the election register of the
qualified electors of the precinctcmade
at the last general election, or when
from any cause the register cannot
be sent, a certified copy thereof. The
registrar must Immediately upon the
receipt of the register, or copy there
of, revise the same by striking there
from tho names of all persons, who
by death, removal, from change in
the boundaries of the precinct, or
from other cause, have ceased to be
qualified voters In the precinct, or
who may have been from any cause
wrongfully registered, and upon so
striking out the name of any voter
who is still residing within the pre-
cinct, as it existed at the last general
election, he must Immediately give
him written notice that his name has
been stricken from the register in the
tration, but an elector, who has been
duly registered and whose name has
not been stricken out, shall continue
qualified voter in the precinct
where registered at and for the last
general election.
The compensation of registrars is
also changed to conform to the above
provisions, as shown by the follow
ing:
"The several registrars shall receive
such compensation as shall be allowed
by the board of county commission
ers which in no case shall exceed
twenty five 25-cents for each name
newly registered and -10-cents
for each name appearing on the last
election register, and the compen-
sation herein provided for shall be
paid out of the current expense fund. .

heroism of some unknown ma This
mas stood on the paddle wheel box OF
the Slocum and passed ONE and
children to the tug until he was driven
back by the flames. He then jumped
into the tug and was saved. Neithe,
police nor flremen, when they arrived,
waited to remove coats or clothes, but
jumped overheard and saved a great
many who would otherwise have been
drowned.
Many OF those picked up alive in
the river will die in the hospitals.
Most of them were frightfully burned.
in consequence of delaying leaving the
boat until their clothing was on fire.
Some died in the i%mprovised ambu-
lances in which they were hurried
from the shore.
Every mar on board who could
swim went overheard loaded down
with children. Many Of these heroes
lost their lives, because burdened as
they were they could make no head
way against the overpowering swirl
of the tide as ii rushes from the East
river into the sound.
Persons on the shore say that there
were scores huddled in an apparently
safe position on the hurricane deck
with the breeze blowing the flames and
smoke away from them. when sud-
denly the deck fell in. After the cloud
of smoke had drifted away the observ-
ers looked back to where the crowd
had been standing. The space was va
cant. Many of the children picked up
by small boats were dashed "a camp

showing that some adult had tried to
make the little ones same. These pre-
cautions proved inadequate in the ter

were then transferred to the Harlem

When she was grounded the flames
had spread over the entire upper and

spots on the boat untouched by the
flames and in these were piled up men
and women who had tainted and fall
ing had pinned others to the deck.
The men from the tugs who could
not get near the boat shouted to those
on board to jump, and then the small
boats picked them up by the score.
From all that could be gathered, no
alarm was sounded when the fire was
discovered. but the crew tried to ex-
tinguish the flames without alarming
the passengers. Those in the after
part of the boat did not know 1t was
on fire until the flames had swept back
on them. Then there was nothing to
do but jump overheard or be burned to

An Army OF Disreputabie. Now Enrouts
for Rosebud Agency.
The rush to Rosebud agency has
begun. After years OF waiting on the
part Of the people in the territory
around Gregory county, South Dakota,
the actual influx of landseekers and
dollar seekers has commenced. The
Northwestern railroad has doubled the
size OF the train which runs from Nor
folk to Bonesteel, and there is not
even standing room in the cars at that.
But the fiercest part OF the rush
just now is with people who are not
ever riding all the way on the trains.
And for what share of the journey
they do ride, they pay no fare. They
constitute a mob Of tramps and thugs
and hoboes, and they are all bound
straight for the end of the line.
This mob has begun to strike Nor
folk, which, as the gateway OF the
Rosebud country, gets the benefit of
this bunch of buns. From Sioux City
they come and from Omaha, and in the
crowd are dozens and dozens of the
shrewdest, sharpest toughs that have
" been behind the bars of state
penitentiaries.

ERRORS OF THE TYPES.

Editors Lives.

At a literary dinner in New York
c. ID. Gibson. the illustrator. quoted a
number Of amusing misprints for sew.
eral years, and already had in his
collection 200 good specimens.
He first quoted a misprint about a
bishop who was confined to the house
with n violent cold. The newspaper
that mentioned the preiate's illness
said he was confined to the house
with a violent scold."
Another quotation concerned a Brit
ish nobleman who had Joined a party
Of friends in Hampshire for the pur-
pose Of shooting pheasants. This
he compositor had made to read ::
He has Joined a party of friends in
Hampshire for the purpose of shoot
ing peasants"
That, though said Mr.. Gibson, lis
an old and famous misprint, and you
may have heard of it before. You
may, too, have heard of the one about
a surgeon taken alive in the river
that sold for six cents a pound But

of the misprint that appeared last
February in a Vermont newspaper.
