THE CHOCTEAV COUNTY VOTE

The official returns of the recent
election show that about 1900 resi-
dents OF Chouteau county vent to the
polls on November 6. compared with
the total Of a little over 2,4OO two
years ago.. This loss of about 20 per
cent. in the total vote of the county is
believed to be due to causes that had
a similar effect in other parts of Mon.
tana-there was a new registration 10
every county, and there is less popu.
lar interest in an off year than at a
presidential election.
The vote of Chouteau county at the
recent election vas similar in size to
that cast at the September primary
contest, and it is presumed that prac.
tical!y the same persons went to the
polls at each election. AT the direct
primary election, there were l,S63
votes cast for the several a%spirants
for nomination for sheriff: the total
vote on this Office on November & was
1873.
For the Office Of treasurer, the sew.
eral aspirants at the primary polled
a total vote of LISP, and the ballots
marked at the recent election showed
q total vote of 1,S4O.
With practically the same persons
voting on each occasion, the returns
of the primary and general elections
show some peculiar features. AT the
primary election, there we're l, 7l6
votes cast for the two republican as
pirants for the state senate nomina-
ton, and less than % for the demo-
cratic a%spirant. AT the November
election, however, the republican
candidate polled Loss votes, and the
democratic nominee::56S, a result which
demonstrates hatsdemocrats voted for
republicans at the primaries, or that
many republicans voted for the demo-
cratic candidate at the!November cleo
ton.
A similar disparity in the returns
appears in comparing the ote affect
ing other Offices. The democratic
voters are shown!to have participated
in nominating republican candid ates
at the directiprimary;to the ~iextent OF
over 400 votes.
Owing to q reduction of about 500 in
the total vote of Chouteau county, the
plurality secured bylHon. Charles N.
Pray did not reach quite such large
proportions as expected, but his plur.
ality was 9O6-a .handsome compli.

Origin of the Hat Band.

An archeologist points out that the
hat band in the modern mans hat can
be traced to a fillet which in ancient
times held in shape simple piece Of
cloth. Sometimes this fillet was tied
in a bow behind, the tails OF which
survive in the Scotch cap, the sailor
hat and the bishops mitten. A little
bow inside in the lining of the hat is
survival of a lacing which kept the
lining in shape, or possibly 1t dates

1870 George Hancock's steam coaches

and the city? Is II realized generally
that Gottlieb Daimler. the true father
Of the petrol engine. had worked in
England as well as in Germany be.

Otto gas engine ard fitted II in 1855
to his bicycle. which may be regarded
at the first motor car driven by an
explosion engine? From this date
progress abroad was OF remarkable
rapidity. while in England none was
possible until In 1895. Evelyn Ellis
imported four horse power Panhard
and Sir David Salomons a peugot.
There followed a modest demonstra.
ton at Tunbridge Wells OF these two
vehicles, a De Dion steam car and
petrol bicycle. and then, after some
agitation. the light locomotives act OF

OF view. Gottlieb Daimler is the par.

in the District Reform School. by Judge

This is the first time local newspaper

For the past six weeks, reports have
been numerous every day that copies Of
Tie Washington Herald have disappeared
in scores Of places before they had been
seen by the subscribers. and as the COM
plants came to the circulation depart
ment. members Of that branch OF the
paper were instructed TO keep a close
watch in all parts Of the city.
The result was that Joseph Harmon. a
route agent, caught young Jones in the
act Of hlching all the copies Of the paper
he could find on the second floor Of an
apartment house. Harmon attempted TO
place the man under aTrest. but he sue
ceeded in eluding him and escaping down
an alley with the route agent in close
pursuit He was later caught. with the
assistance Of Officer Kelley. and. while
waiting on q corner for the arrival Of a
patrol wagon, negro friends Of Jones
urged him 10 resist arrest, and one OF
them slipped him a knife. with which
Jones tried TO cut his CaptOrs

The police have the names OF other sus-
poets, and il is probable that more ar
rests viii follow shortly, and that readers
Of The Washington Herald viii not be
further annoyed by the theft OF their
morning paper.
