COMMENT.

The Beverly town council, at a meet
ing Thursday night, directed the town
clerk to ask the State authorities to
remove the voting machine recently
placed there. The reasons given are
that machinery does not give q oiti-
zen the opportunity of casting q bal
lot and properly exercising the fran
chise, as contemplated in the organic
law. Is it not rather q confession that
the voters of Beverly are not intelli-
gent enough to sue the voting device?

Middlesex county alleged Jail was

parture through the roof by cutting a

TUESDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1904.

AS the election draws near it be-
hooves many voters of the second
ward to get familiar with the voting
machine which they are to use this
fall. 1t takes but u moment to have
the operation of the machine pointed
out, hut to go to one with absolutely
no information before hand. will be
"a serious handicap. There is n
model machine at the city hall where
the city clerk is willing to explain
all the workings Of the instrument,
and, for the further information of the
voters. the Evening News today pro-
dness-a complete explanation, with
axe a~sof.,iona, showing how to manipu-
late the machine,
1t will not be- many years before
these machines will be used exclusive
ly throughout the State. There is little
chance of fraud with them, the count
ing is done quickly and accurately.
The voting machine is step forward,
a sign of advancement in the science
of politics. Instead of a set Of men
sitting about u table far into the
night, counting the ballots, it is all
done in a twinkling by machinery.
Machinery has revolutionized the
world, why not the system of voting?
Its general adoption is as sure as the
counting machines in all financial in-
situations and, when it has been in
use u few years, people will wonder
how they over put UP with the slow,
unsatisfactory method of voting bv
ballot and counting up the result
by mental powers.

and for this Hall was fined $25. AS
told by Seipp the first was no more
justified than the last, and had its
origin over feeling displayed by hall
because Seipp gave employment to
Selvidge, whose shop at that time
Hall and another man were operating
under lease.
Because of the fact that County At
torney Harris was sick no complaint
was filed against Hall Saturday and
it was decided to hold him until Mr..
Harris could act
Those who saw the affair say that
only Halls drunken condition prevent

as the instrument he used and the
nature of the assault were both MUIR

w. G. Preuitt, secretary OF the Mon
tana Stockgrowers association, was at
Chicago few days ago, on his way to
ST. Louis. He is quoted by the Chi
cago Livestock Journal as follows:
Montana livestock conditions ap-
pear very favorable at present, and
prospects for good season on the
range are very bright at this time.
Grass in most sections of the range
country is in very good shape, and the
outlook is far brighter than a year
ago, when the long drouth rendered
cattle in poor condition throughout
most of thelseason.
Shipments of range cattle will
commence about the same time as
last year, most of the Montana cattle
promising to be ready by September

SAVING TO SHIPPERS BY RETURN
PASSES.
TONNAGE SYSTEM PASSING
National Livestock Association Gives
Good News to Its Members
in West.

A Denver dispatch of a few days ago
announces that the National Livestock
association has issued circular letter
to it's members on the subject OF rail-
way transportation. In part the letter
says that while good service at the
hands of the railroads is the thing
desired most by shippers OF livestock
the return pass for which they have
insisted is not the insignificant item
it has been designated by some of the
companies.
In support of the latter statement
the letter sets forth that the issuing OF
return passes means an annual saving
Of no less than $4,000 to the Montana
cattlemen and $4,000 to those OF Tex
as, while to the sheepgrowers of wy
oming, Idaho and Utah it means al
most as much as in the case of this
state.
Reforms Instituted.
1t takes time for railway companies
to inaugurate entirely new methods Of
transportation over thousands of miles
of line, continues the letter. However,
the promise made to the committee
OF the National Livestock association
to abrogate the tonnage system in
hauling livestock is being realized.
Reports from nearly every western
state are to the effect that the SER
vice has wonderfully improved ana
railways are honestly endeavoring to
all the eastern markets are that the
service in time. and .proppt delivery
! is now better than it has been at any
time for several years past.
If it is possible to get the Interstate
commerce laws amended as provided
for in the Quarles-C Cooper bill, the
troubles of the shippers of livestock
will be minimized. The National
Livestock association, for four years,
has been aiding to secure the enact
ment of this amendment.
The attention of traffic managers
| has been called to the inequality in
livestock rates from several localities.
They have agreed to a hearing on
this subject, and it will be taken up
by the association as early as the data
can be gathered with which a case
! can be maintained

A MURDERoUs ASSAULT.
M. 3. Hall Batters Gus Seipp With
Axle Butt.


M. B. Hall was arrested last Satur-
day afternoon by Deputy Sheriff Hard
ing, after having committed what is
described by those who witnessed it
as murderous assault on Gus Seipp,
a blacksmith, whose shop is N Ntrl.l
Twenty-seventh street, almos. >-..e...y
opposite the court house.
Hall, who is said to have been
drunk, assaulted iSeipp without any
apparent cause, merely venting spite
he holds against him. Before he en-
tered the shop 1t is claimed he took off
his coat and gave it to another man
to hold, with the remark that he was
going to "do" Seipp. No sooner had
he entered the shop than he began
quarreling with Seipp and struck
him with an axle butt, a piece of steel
little over an inch square and PROB
ably foot long. One OF the blows
landed on the side OF Seipp, who was
knocked down. after which Hall struck
him again, this time aiming for the
head, but the missile hitting the pros
trate man on the back.
w. L. Selvidge, who is employed by
Seipp, instead of going to his employ
er's rescue, ran into the street calling
for help, clinging to hammer he had
| in his hand when Hall began the as
sault Mr.. Harding happened to be at
the door of the court house and ran
across the street and arrested Hall,
whom he took to jail.
Saturdays assault was the second
one that Hall committed on Seipp
The first occurred several months ago

Sundays Blaze Causes Scare in Room
ing House.

Between and o'clock Sunday
evening an alarm OF fire was sounded,
which called the department to the
Rademaker apartment house, in the
block east of the station. Dense vol
umes of smoke were issuing from the
west windows OF the basement and
it was thought that a serious fire
was burning in that part OF the build
ing. Fortunately the smoke was not a
true Indication Nof the real condition
A defective gasoline stove was the
cause of the fire and it's attendant
scare. The stove was in a small room
adjoining the kitchen and when ef-
fort was made Saturday evening to
use it one CT the burners was found
to work badly. In starting the fire
Sunday evening this seems to have
been forgotten, for soon afterward
the floors above began to fill with
smoke and the odor OF burning gaso-
| line. Investigation revealed that the
fluid escaping from the leaking burner
had generated gas which appears
to have exploded, as the surrounding
woodwork was scorched and -singed,
while some articles of clothing in the
room were burnt Strange to say the
gasoline in the tank did not explode,
although the tank was so hot as to be
unbearable to the touch.
Prompt use of hand chemical en-
gine extinguished the blaze before
more than a minimum OF damage had
resulted.
