CHALLENGE LISTS READY
Bogus Voters VIII Find 1t Difficult
TO Register This Year.

Deputies of George w. Morgan, State Supellh-
tendent OF Elections In the metropolitan DiSt,l.
busy yesterday distributing TO ponce sla'l0-1S 10
the lists Of persons to be challenged on Gays VI
registration These lists, with a printed opihol
Of Attorney General Mayer, will be dlstrlouleu ~
the police to every election board before the poliS
open for the registration OF voters thls 'l'i
ing.
On the challenge lists for the entire city appear
about fifty thousand names this year IheSe dl0
names Of voters who have moved from their elec-
ton districts who have died or who have peeh us
qualified from voting either by convlcuon OF CHI
or by the loss of naturalization papers. Inc III
structions TO the inspectors positive to cause
the immediate arrest of any person who offers 10
register in the name and from the address of any
voter on the list.
As Mr. Morgan said yesterday, the reason for the
preparation of the challenge lists iss to prevent
foaters" from registering and voting on the names
of dead, removed disfranchised voters. Inc
lists are so distributed the inspectors in any
election district viii have before them only the
names Of voters who have died in that district VINO
have removed from It or have lost their right 10
vote since they last voted in the district. ANY
voter who has moved to another district where ne
has the right to vote this year may register and
vote there without fear Of challenge IT, however,
there Is an attempt to have repeater register
and vote in his in the voters old district, the
challenge list stands In the way.
Mr.. Morgan said yesterday that the work Of his
deputies in investigating last years registration
had been great aid in the preparation of the lists
He assured he said, that the police would CO
operate heartily in the investigation of this year
registration The inspectors OF election are under
strict instructions aid in the task of keeping the
rolls free from the of illegal voters. The
opinion OF Attorney General Mayer to the duty
of the inspectors to aid Mr.. Morgan's deputies IS
explicit, and Mr.. Mayors deputies will begin
prompt prosecutions wherever inspectors fail in
their duty
IL any colonized illegal voters try TO get their
on the registers this year the fact VIII ps
system, tndexed, for each election district The
names of all newly registered voters in each dis
trict viii be checked up with the aid of the card
cabinet, and the attention Of the police will be
directed first to persons who register this for
the first time The police will find out If the per
sons are legal first voters voters who have removed
from other districts, colonized ''foaterS"
In view of the perfection of the system of investi-
cation, Mr. Morgan said yesterday that he believed
there could be large number of Illegal votes cast
at the coming election In all probability there will
not be large number of arrests, notwithstanding
the large number of names on the challenge lists.

Minneapolis Journal: The key to
many mystery In business an legisla-
ton may be found by asking, How
does this interest the Standard Oil
company This question throws light
on the articles that have barred the
way of the Boutell bill, a measure to
remove the internal revenue tax on
alcohol used in arts and manufactures.
The secret of the opposition is that I'M
taxed alcohol would prove a cheap fuel
for driving small engines. 1t can be
produced for much less than the pres
ent cost of gasoline. Alcohol is super
Tor to gasoline for this purp Nse and
cheap alcohol would COMPEL Rockefel-

This he would doubtless do rather than
lose the market. So 1t seems that in

aEEDlNo IN PROGRESS IN WEST.
ERIN CANADA.


Mild Weather 10 Bringing Thousands
of Settlers.
The splendid yields Of wheat, oats
and barley produced by the farmers of
Western Canada and the excellent
prices received for the same, have
been the means of giving an increased
interest throughout the United States.
AS result the inquiries made of the
agents Of the Canadian Government
have nearly doubled over those of the
same period last year. Railroad COM
panles are putting on increased car
rying capacity to meet the demand
made upon them for carrying passen-
gers and freight. Everything points to
q most prosperous year. There is room
for hundreds Of thousands additional
settlers, much new land having been
opened up for settlement this year.
1t is quite interesting to look
through the letters received from the
Americans who have settled in West
ern Canada during the past few years,
and considering the large number, it
is surprising how few there are who
have not succeeded. An extract from
a letter written by Mr.. Geo. w. Girls
void, Of Red Deer, Alta, formerly
Of Greber, Mont, written on the I'd
Of January, is as follows:
II am located one and oue-half miles
from beautiful lake ten miles long,
where there is church, school, three
stores, creamery and two postoftices.
The fine stock, both cattle Cows and
steers) horses, hogs and sheep are roll
ing fat, grazing in pastures to-day,
just little snow, hardly enough for
good sleighing, as we just had Chi
nook which has melted the roads and
laid bare the fields and pasture. There
are fine wheat, oats, barley and flax
raised here, also winter wheat and
timothy hay for export to British Co
lumbia. This is a mixed farming and
dairy country. This is the right time
to get foothold in the Canadian
West as it WAS some years ago in the
United States. We are free from wind
gumbo and alkali here and have fine
clear, soft we'll and spring water at
a depth Of from five to twenty five
feet, and lots Of open overtlowing
springs"

.SC|AT|C TORTURE.
PAIN SUFFERED BY MR.. MARsT0N
AS GREAT AS MORTAL GAN STAND.
For nix Months He Could Not Turn in
Bsd~He Tells of q Remedy Which
Has Given Perfect Relief.


The case of Mr.. Marston shows that
sciatica can be cured, and no one afflicted
by it should allow himself TO be dis
heartened. He was first stricken about
year ago, and for six months he suffered
pain which he thinks the most intense
that any man could possibly stand.
Asked about the details of his remark
able recovery, Mr.. Marston gave the fol-
lowing account: 81 was attacked by q
numbness OF, dull feeling just back Of my
right hip. I dldn' know what the mat
ter was, but thought it was simply
stiffness that would wear away i'll a
short time. 1t didn't, however, and
soon the pain became SO very bad that
every step was torture for me. When
finally succeeded i'll getting home, it was
Just as much as could do to reach my
room and get to bed.
1.-THE doctor was sent for, and when he
had examined me he said had sciatica.
He prescribed for me, and advised me not
to try to leave my bed. The advice was
unnecessary for I couldn't get out OF
bed if I wanted to. 1t was impossible for
me to turn from one side to the other.
The moment I attempted to move any
part of my body, the Pain became so ex-
crucating that would have to lie per-
fectly motionless.
81 suffered this torture for six months
without getting any relief. Then dis
charged the doctor, and on the advice OF
a friend bought a box of DR.. Williams
Pink Pills and began to take them, tire,
Mt dose three times day. was de-
termined to give them thorough trial.
"Two months after began to use
them / was able to leave my bed and
walk about the house, and month later
I was entirely cured and able to go about
my work as usual. l think DIR. Williams
Pink Pills are the best medicine | ever
used, and heartily recommend them TIC
anyone who suffers from sciatica"
Mr.. Marston is prosperous farme,
and may be reached by mail addressed
to Charles P. Marston, Hampton P. O.
New Hampshire. DIR. Williams Pinl
Pills have cured other painful nervou:
disorders, such as neuralgia, partial par
alysis and locomotor ataxia. They art
sold by all druggists.
