V01ING MACHINES HERE
EHsgone Cll Inspect Thsn ln Lobby
 i Clt haIL

The lobby of city hall building looks like the show room of biz voting machine factory, and Janitor Loughlin is kept busy telling visitors all about them. MT Loughlin has had his eyes open since the machines commenced to come in and In this way he has picked up sufficient knowledge of them to act as remon- strator for the different patterns. half a dozen or so in all. A repre- sentative of the United States Stand ard Machine Co was here yesterday and made an offer to Mayor Thoms to furnish machines for all the wards at the coming elections on the terms accepted by the city for limited number, $50 each, the city to pay for transportation and the cost of n demonstrator. In case the city shall purchase the machines this money will be deducted from the total cost price. The matter will be brought to the attention of the aldermen Mon- day night.
 N General King holds that machines cannot be used at the state election until after some further legislation has been enacted, but this of course, does not affect town cleo ton, and besides, some of the local attorneys do not agree with the at torney-general regarding the right to use them at state elections. There will be something definite on this question before November.

LOOKING FOR EARLE HOUSE.
Actors Landed There and Found
 Hotel Thing of the Past.

Their were "actorines" and had just alighted from train that pulled into the Bank street station. They were juggling their dress suit cases and as performers before the foot lights generally do, they attracted the eyes of all persons on board the trolley which was waiting on the switch near the station. The pedes' trians also took a glance as they made their way to the house which was formerly the Earle house. Il seems that show people had register ed there before and intended to dt SO again. Imagine their surprise when they walked into the building and found that the hotel was thing of the past and instead the building had been divided into tenements Of course there was nothing for then to do but retrace their steps and al they made their exit they received the ha ha from those who had noticet the incident.

PLENTY OF GAME.
Commissioners Could Not Decide to
 Which Family They Belonged.

The game laws must be pretty closely observed in ThOmaston. Quail are very much in evidence on the rail fences along the highways, SO much SO, that a fellow would not have much trouble getting hold of g dozen or two of them without the, use of gun, provided he had good aim with a stick or a stone. On the way to the reservoir yesterday the city officials saw a number of the birds, but the commissioners were not all of one mind as to what they were. Mir Finn contended that they were quail. Mr Walker would call them brown thrashers if their tails were a trifle longer. Mir Neill thought they had a striking resem- blance to the English partridge. al- though a trifle smaller. while Mir Dennison held to the belief that they were robins.
 Mayor Thoms was asked to decide the question. but he referred the dis putants to Engineer Cairns. who hu- morously replied that he didn't care to pass upon the matter and suggest ed that they let the thing 90 by call-. ing them a late breed of chicken.

I,--' d
UnIQue-Rollta Vaudeville.

Undulating draperies, changing lights
and rhythmic motion make the skirt dance
the most artistic of the many dances
displayed on the stage and when this
dance Is as well executed as it Is by
Adele Purvis Ouri. who appears at the
Unique this week, 1t is hardly necessary
to add to the pleasure Of watching it
the knowledge that the artist is at the
same time performing the difficult act
Of balancing herself upon an eauilibrist' 8
sphere, This is what Miss Ouri does
and it adds interest to the act without
detracting In the least from the grace
of her performance. Miss Flora Allthrop,
who assists Miss Ouri, i is herself an
accomplished eccentric dancer and does
some Startling and not ungraceful stunts
while balancing herself upon spade.
Along this same line Of work, tho In
q separate act, Harry Tsuda does some
hair-raising acts on a big sphere. 4 His
balancing feats are remarkable. Little
Rose Dobie, child violinist. plays with
remarkable accuracy and makes a great
hit. Frank Milton and the De Long SIS
ters have a sketch entitled 1.-THE Con-
stable" which keeps the laughs chasing
each other despite the fact that several
Of Mr.. Hamilton's jokes are far outside
the bounds Of good taste The explana-
ton for this is probably that he follows
one Of his vulgarisms with q real joke
so quickly that the audience has no time
to express .disapproval. Greene Brothers
put on a comedy baseball act which IS
likely to prove counter attraction tc

park. -

The Primary Law.

IT,, The Hennepin republican association
is several lengths behind the state high
schools, which have already decided the
primary-law question adversely to the
primary. However, the Hennepin Re-
publican association is entitled to it's
day in court, and having been unavoid-
ably detained while the high school de-
bate was on, now takes it's turn. Sew
eral speakers at the republican meeting
denounced the primary as opposed to
the cardinal princi pies Of the repre-
sentative system Of government under
which we live. Others defended the
| primary on the utilitarian ground that
it had broken up ring rule. But the
opponents Of the primary would prob
ably reply that the subject should not
be debated on the low ground Of uti1-
itarianism If the primary is taxed
with enmity to cardinal principles it
must defend itself from the charge and
not try to evade the issue by claiming
it had done something. useful. E, ~
But the other side may reply that
representation is not cardinal at all.
It amounts simply to people sending
messengers to do something for them
instead Of going themselves. IF at any
time it seems better or safer to TRANSACT
their business direct, they have the in
herent right to exercise that power
; AS between states which send delegates
to conventions to select governors, may
ors and aldermen and states where tn.
nominating is done in a direct primary
there is not a difference worthy of be
ing described as cardinal or vital. They
are all under a republican form Of gov
! eminent.
It is a question Of the comparative
usefulness Of the two systems. TIL
convention or representative system ha
: received severe iolts Of late years. I
has been wholly or partly abandoned
| by many states. Whether this aban
donment was caused by a wave Of feel
: ing against all politicians or only
r suspicion Of some, is not importan!
J The primary received its impetus froI
