ELECTION LAW CHANGES.
Provides for Compulsory Primaries and
Pro Rating Vote.

The legislature adjourned sine
die Sunday morning, after passing
the new election law. The Houston
Post summarizes the changes in
the law as follows:
The most important change in
the existing law is the substitution
Of compulsory primaries in lieu OF
the option between primaries and
conventions; blank ct ballots in.
stead Of strip ballots; supervisor.
or watchers in each election pre-.
cinct; each party is guaranteed
representation in voting place,
etc. The compulsory primary sys.
tenn is compromise between the
State blanket primary and the con-
vention. The bill provides that
in the matter of State and district
officers, the convention vote of
each county, based as now upon
the vote for governor at the next
preceding election, shall be pro
rated among the several candidates
for each Office. 1t provides that
the respective executive commit
tees shall make up the convention
rolls upon reports from the coun-
ties; that il, after three ballots
have been taken for any office,
without a nomination being made,
that the candidate receiving the
lowest vote shall be dropped on
each succeeding ballot. The gen.
eral pro rating scheme, applying az
il does all over the State, will in
evitably result in an immense
amount Of figuring. 1t is claimed
that State and district conventions
will need the service Of an expert
mathematician.
For example: Suppose Brown
gets 500 votes in a certain county,
Smith 800 and Jones 200. The
total votes cast in that county are,
hence. 1000. OF these Bown gets
half, Smith approximately one
third and Jones one.fifth. Now,
suppose the county cast 5000 votes
in the last gubernatorial race, then
on a basis of one convention vote

PLANS FOR STREET LIGHTS
Covering Residence Streets as Well as
Main Street.

Pursuant TO instructions from
the city council, Alderman Boyle,
representing the electric light com.
mittee, visited Calvert Sunday az
ternoon and was met there by Mr..
J. Adoue and shown over the
town for an inspection of the
street lights In use there. Mr..
Boyle is well pleased with what
he learned, and says that town is
satisfactorily lighted by using 80.
candle power incandescent globes
on the business streets and l6.
candle.power globes in the resi-
dence section, on alternate streets.
For these the city pays $3.50 each
per month for the 32's and Sl.25
each for the les.
Mr.. Boyle is Of the opinion that
similar arrangement can be
made in Bryan, using three 80
lights on each block on Main
street, one at the intersection of
cross streets aud one in the middle
Of the block. This would require
for Main street eleven to fourteen
lights. The railroad crossings are
already similarly lighted.
For the residence portion of
town it is proposed to also follow
the Calvert plan, putting in l6.
candle power lamps on every al
ternating street running east and
west, the lights to be placed where
these streets intersect those run
ming north and south, and sus-
pended so as TO shine with equal
brightness in all directions, or in
other words on all four streets. |
This is found satisfactory in the |
residence portions of Calvert, and |
the people up there say they would
not be without them. The prices
named for lights in Calvert are
for all-night service, moonlight as
we'll as dark nights.
The matter of lighting Main
street will be easily done as the
poles and wires are already in
readiness. In the residence part
Of town where the poles are not
situated a longer time
will be required.
Mr.. Adoue is expected down
rom Calvert one day this week to
Igree with the committee on a con-
ract, and thus il appears that an
,ther knotty problem is about TO
,e satisfactorily settled by the
ouncil. Street lights will certain
Y be a boon to the community.
Bryan morning eagle. [volume] (Bryan, Tex.) 1898-1909, 1905-05-16

to every 800 voters, its convention
vote is two. OF these Brown gets
one.half or one vote, Jones gets
one.third or lwo.thirds of a vote,
and Smith gets one-ffth or two
fifths of a vote in the convention.
Now, bring vulgar fractions of this
sort into a State convention from
$40 and odd counties and the mag.
nitude of the problem is evident.
Another feature OF the bill which
is new in Texas and of interest ia
the initiative provision. 1t declares
that when 10 per cent of the voters
of any political party desire to
have questions submitted TO them
at a primary or when delegates are
elected to conventions they may
petition the chairman of the county
executive committee and he shall
be required to print that question
on the ballot.
0The bill also corrects numerous
contradictions and incongruities in
the existing law. Experts here
have gone over it exhaustively
declare that il is the best election
law to be found Oh the statute
books Of any State in the Union.

WARM WEATHER HELPS.
Get Rid Of Your catarrh BY Using
iiyOmei Now.

uet No Oi -FOUR Iatarfh by Using
hyOmei Now.
Everyone who has catarrh should
take advantage Of the warm weather
to get rid OF this annoying and dis
tressing disease. The right treat
ment, faithfully followed In May or
June, will benefit much more quick
ly than In the Winter and early
spring.
Do not try to cure catarrh of the
head aud throat by taking drugs
into the stomach. IL cannot be
cured In that manner. The only way
in which this too common disease
can be cured is through direct ap-
plication that will kill the germs OF
catarrh aLd prevent their growth.
HyOmei Is the only known method
OF treatment that accomplishes this,
10 Is the simplest, most pleasant, and
the only absolute cure for catarrh
that has ever been discovered.
When using Hyomei every par.
ticle OF air that enters the afr pas
sages OF the throat and head and
goes into the lungs, is charged with
healing balsams that kill the ca
tarrhal germs and sooths and allays
all irritation.
The first days use Of Hyomei will
show a decided Improvement, and
In short time, especially II used at
this season Of the year, there will be
no further trouble from catarrh.
You take no risk In buying Hyo-
mel. The complete outfit costs but
one dollar, and II after using you
can say that the treatment has not
helped you, +. j. Jenkins will re-
turn your money.

gether from the start Three nights
week the deacon went over to Aunt
Sal,y's to sparK Sarah and there was
fresh grease OH his hair cvecy time.
He did his best to be romantic and
there T'as no doubt in his mind that
he WAS succeeding when fortune play |
ed him shabby trek.
He had been invited to supper, and |
after the meal he and Sarah wandered |
forth to see the sunset. BY and by |
they found seat on the top rail of |
the meadow fence, and as the deacon |
was thinking of something romantic TO |
say he observed a spot where the gold
enrod was growing in prOfusion. There |
was connection between goldenrod,
golden sunsets, golden hopes and gold
en- harps. and he asked the widow If
he might Gull her a bouquet.
Some widows would have called him
Gully and told him to Gull away, but
this widow simply cried out in her
enthusiasm and said nothing so sweet
was to be found in all Indiana. The
deacon jumped off the fence and
ambled across 200 feet of meadow for
the flowers.
He cannot be held blameless for
what followed. A farmer who has
hunted the bumblebee to his lair
hundred times over should know when
he is near that lair. There was nest
in the grass between the deacon and
the goldenrod, but he did not dodge
1t. On the contrary, with a smile on his
face and his heart beating faster than
usual, he walked right through it, The
insects were just going to roost for the
night, but when their coat tails were
trOd on they changed the programme.
The deacon felt the very first sting
He also felt a dozen subsequent stings,
and the romance in his soul disappear
| ed like a summer frost.
When he started to run he galloped
for the woods, but in his confusion he
galloped the other way. The widow
was sitting on the fence and wonder
ing over his antics when he arrived. 1t
made no particular difference to them
whom they stung, and a score or more
| paid their attentions to the lady The
yells of the victims were heard for
half mile.
1t took Aunt Sally and her husband
and hired man and several brooms and
branches to win the victory, and the
deacon had to be led home and the
widow carried to bed
After a week she had recovered suffi-
ciently to see the deacon out of one eye
when he called. He still had a nose
like turnip, a cheek all swelled out
and an ear that resembled a cows.
Aunt Sally met him at the door with
broom in her hand, and before he
could say word she exclaimed:
"Shoo! Shoo Go away, deaconw
"But what for?" he asked.
"'Cause you don't know romance
from bumblebees, and Sarah wouldn't
have you if you was the last man on
earth. Go and Gull some soft soap and
water and soak your headr'

But Doan's Cured Him.

Thousands of grateful people are tell

cured them of distressing and dangerous
kidney and bladder troubles.
Yet other thousands are suffering every
day from these same ills. Why? They
are either very negligent or very skepti-
cal. Neglect of kidney disorders leads to
dropsy, diabetes, Bright's disease and
other fatal diseases.
Sincere, honest testimony like the fol-
