Election officers Are Being Duly Notified

Only Fifteen out of six Appointees
Have Thus Far Been Instructed
I'm the Use Of Voting
Machines.

Machines,
c. L. Hendricks. custodian Of the city's
voting machines is sending out notices to
the judges and clerks Of election informing
them of their appointment. Each election
officer also is notified by letter of the dates
for holding a school of instruction and also
Of the fact that they are liable to fine
OF not less than s. nor more than $50 for
failure to comply with the election laws.
Officers of election must be at the polling
places not less than forty-ive minutes be-
fore the opening of the polls on election day
to receive final instructions. In the matter
Of instructing election officers Mr. Hen
bricks, the custodian Of the city machines,
and E. E Ridgeway, custodian of the four
machines bought of the county. will work
together. It is the purpose of these custo-
dams to instruct thoroughly every Judge
and clerk of election in the operating of
the voting machines and in the keeping of
the records. Out of the sixty judges and
clerks named by Frank A. Broadwell, clerk
of the district court, only fifteen have re-
ceived any instructions in the handling of
voting machines. It will be seen from this
that the two custodians have plenty of
work ahead Of them insofar as the matter
of instructions go. Schools of instruction
VIII De neld at the inherent polling places
and also at the council chamber.
DishgurinE Windows with Soap.
Boys are again causing much annoyance
| to business men and residents as well by
writing and drawing pictures on windows
with soap. The practice seems to be much
worse than ever this fall and in many in
stances boys write obscene words or sem
| fences on windows. So far the police have
| been powerless to put stop TO this work
and a consequence windows have to be
washed every day now in order TO remove
the unsightly pictures drawn and the vul-
! gar sentences written at night by the gangs
Of boys that run the streets. Chief Briggs
declares that IL any of the cuprits are
caught or the names of any given the po-
lice arrests will follow and punishment
melted out to the wrongdoers.
Increased Live stock Receipts.
So far this year the receipts of live stock
at the South Omaha yards show a large
increase over the same time of last year.
Up to the close of business at the yards
Friday afternoon the increase in receipts
was 64,205 cattle, 80 2O6 hogs and 1920 head
of sheep. Last year at this time the ship
ments of live stock showed decrease on
account of the packing house strike, but
this year there has been nothing to hinder
heavy shipments, as the figures above
show.
Republican Rally Monday Night.
The republican county central committee
has made arrangements for a rally to be
held on Monday evening at Workman tenn
pie

| not be known until some time today the
, registration officers reported the registra-
, ton to be much lighter than was expected.
During the daylight hours very few voters
, registered, but in the evening business at
, the registration booths picked up and it
was estimated when the booths closed that
, the total was about the same as on the
first day There will be one more day of
registration. on Saturday, November T.
