CHESTER,

Lantern, Jan. Q: An understanding
has been reached between the super
visor and the gentlemen who have been
leading the movement for an election
on the dispensary and 1t is now al
most definitely assured that there will
be a contest to decide whether the
dispensary is to remain in this county
or not. AS reported in these columns
two weeks ago the registration lists
are known to be grossly incorrect
They are swollen and distended with
names that should have long since
been stricken Off; and 1t has been
agreed to regard these lists as contain
ing only about 1900 names. A re-ex-
animation of the petitions presented Is
revealing the fact that with such
names restored as should be restored
there will in all probability be more
than the required one-fourth Of the
electorate. II the election Is ordered,
as probably will be the case, 1t Is not
likely that II will be done Immediately
There is some talk as to action by the
legislature, and those in charge of the
matter think 1t best to delay such
length of time as will permit the people
of the state to see what the lawmakers
intend to do towards remedying or re-
habilitating the law. Mr.. and MIS-
D. E. Boney of Yorkville, who have
been spending the past week with his
daughter and son, Mrs. S. e. Colvin
and Mr.. Walter Boney, went home this
morning. During the week the keep
er of records and seals will notify the
members of Rathbone Lodge, K. of p,
