to do is to fill out the ballots to be
found in each issue of The Sun and
send them in. You will note that the
ballots have time limit,-must be
voted within a week of the date
thereon.
Special coupons Of votes will be
Issued for payments on subscrip-
lions, and we would call everyone's
attention to the fact that subscrip-
tions paid now are worth double
what they will be worth in March.
For instance: ACC will pay for The
Sun one month and entitle you to 80
votes, If paid now. The same sub
scription paid in March will entitle
you to only 40 votes. A years sub
scrlption, $4.50, will entitle you to
HOO votes, If paid now; in March,
If you wait it will be worth only 500
votes. Thus you see the wisdom Of
sending in your subscriptions early.

The news Of his arrest spread like WIG
fire and created the greatest excitement
People could not believe it. Although
there have been TumOTs of the gTaVest
character for some time past the friends
of the financier were loyal to him. TINS
faith was suddenly shaken when he was
taken like a common criminal TO the
office of the sheriff and there compelled
to undergo the humiiating ordeal of CIV
ing bail. This was done and then he
walked forth a free man.
Shortly before his arrest, and when il
was known that he would be appre-
hended. Professor DOugherty stated that
if the investigation showed a shortage
that ne would make it good. He SAID
that he would stay right in Peoria; that
il was here that he had been honored
and here he would stand trial. Later he
sent in his resignation as president ana
director of the Peoria National bank.
Inc charge on which DOugherty was
arrested was that of forging a voucher
for 1854 80 for school coal. which, it is
alleged, was not delivered. Immediately
following their partial report the grand
jury re-cOnVened and continued their in
yestigation of the school funds.
