has been removed from the ballot,
much more time will be required by
each voter In marking his ballot.
Therefore more booths are needed, es-
pecially in the Second and Third
wards, which cast in the neighborhood
of 700 votes each.
The law provides that one booth for
each sixty voters shall be provided for
each precinct. 1t is presumed that the
intent of the law was to designate the
number of booths from the vote of the
preceding general election, but as 1t
failed to do this, it has been interpreted
here to mean at the preceding city
election when the vote Is always less.
1t may be impossible to procure new
booths for the election Tuesday, and
If so, voters may be compelled to
await their turns.

TOINCREASE MAJORITY
Pocahontas County Will Give Cum
minis 1000 Majority, Says William
Hayzlett.

Mr.. William Hayzlett, Of Pocahon-
tas, who is we'll versed with the po-
litical situation in Pocahontas county.
who was in the city Wednesday to at
tend the funeral Of the late Mrs. N.
S. Ketchum, said this morning that
the situation in the county was very
encouraging, and that to the best Of
his belief Pocahontas would increase
Governor Cumnins' majority 200 over
three years ago. Mr.. Hayzlett says
that what little opposition is apparent
among the disgruntled republicans
will be more than overcome, in his
opinion, by the votes the governor will
receive from the democratic ranks. He
thinks that Cummins' majority In Po-
cahontas will be at least 1000, as
against 500 three years ago.
Mrs. Hayzlett, who accompanied her
husband to the city, will remain for a
Visit Of few days as Miss Ketchum's
guest.

Mischief making did not prevail to
the usual extent In this city, probably
due to the fact that extra police were
on duty, and that the moon shone
brightly. The boys and young men
confined their efforts to the overturn-
ing Of small outhouses and the tearing
up Of wooden sidewalks and the car
rying away of loose steps. In few
instances the ratings were torn from
porches and there was some damage
to property. No arrests were made by
the police, as the youngsters were on
the lookout for the representatives Of

board cut off four pieces two and a
half feet long, and one six inches
square for the end of the trap and
another four inches by eight inches
for the door. Use old boards, as new
boards scare rabbits.
1t should be four inches wide and six
inches, high on the inside. The top
and bottom boards project one inch
beyond side boards at the back and
end board is set in. The top board
should be two inches shorter than the
sides at the front. Nail a strip on the
top board back of door and one on the
bottom board SO game cannot push
the door open from inside the trap
and get out.
In the middle of the top board bore
hole and put crotched stick in for
the lever to rest on. Bore another
hole in the top Of the door for the
lever to pass through. Two inches
from the back of the box bore hole
for the trigger, which should be made

STOCK.
Scaldinq HoQs.

A good sticking knife, hog hook,
scrapers, and convenient place
for working are the important
items to consider. A barrel is
the receptacle commonly used for
scalding, and there is no need of any
thing better if set at the proper slant,
with the open end against table or
platform of the proper height and the
bottom securely fastened. A strong
table built for this purpose would be
very desirable thing on which to
work. A box often serves very well.
Caution should be observed about ex-
citing or heating hogs before slaugh-
tering, and the same may be said Of
any animal. The water for Scalding
should be heated to a temperature Of
200 to PIP degrees. Where it is heated
in the house or in a kettle outdoors it
should be boiling when removed from
the kettle or stove. If put in cold
barrel it will be about the right tenn
perature when the hog is ready to be
scalded. The water should be nearly
boiling before the hog is killed. At
li1C tlu1C t1l0 uOS Is SCdluSu Tic WdtOA
should be at a temperature of 1875 to
1875 degrees. If the water is too hot
the hair is likely to set, causing even
more trouble than if too cold. If the
barrel is hot as it would be ordinarily
for the second hog, add half pail of
cold water. A shovelful of hard wood
ashes added to the water aids ma
terially in removing the scurf from the
skin, though it has no effect in loosen
ing the hair. A lump of lime, hand
full of soft soap, a little pine tar or a
tablespoonful of concentrated I've has
the same effect. While being scalded
the hog should be kept moving to
avoid cooking the skin. Occasionally
it should be drawn out of the water
to air, when the hair may be tried.
AS soon as hair and scurf slip off
easily from the surface scalding is
complete. If it is suspected that the
water is too hot scald the hind end
first; if too cold the front end. This
is in order to get a good scald on the
head which is difficult to clean.-E.
