"Have All the Figures"

Commission Staples replied:
"This will acknowledge receipt of
your communication transmitting to
the commission tabulated statement of
railroad rates copied from the tariffs,
showing existing rates in Minnesota on
merchandise and certain commodities
and what the rate would be in the state
if the Iowa distance tariff rate was
applied.
"While we have all the figures in the
office, tabulation being made in graphic
form is means of quick reference,
which saves time, and we appreciate
thoroughly your kindness in furnishing
us with copy of the same"
So ended the governors "secret in
vestigation" of the rate question, which
prevented him from joining in the ship

A Good Record

In the first four or fye days after
the San Francisco fire, when people
could get no money from the banks
many applied to the railroads for
tickets on the promise to pay when
thew reached their destination, or
when they could. They gave writ
ten promises and received tickets to
all points in and out of the state.
The officials took these promises to
pay to an amount aggregating $780,
600 from nearly 1000 persons. 1t
is announced that within FIVE
months of the disaster no less that
$4,000 or 0-10 Of the full amount,
has been paid by remittances from
the refugees to whom credit had
been extended. Much of this came
from grateful sufferers who had
not even been asked to sigma prom.
ise to pay.

GREAT REJOICING.
AMONG VOTERS OF MONTEREY WHEN

/
AMONG ' oTERs OF MONTEREY WHE,
MIssINe BALLOT Box TURNS Up.
Intense excitement prevailed il
the staid old town Of Montere,
across the Virginia border line las
Tuesday morning. The whole
cause of the excitement and turmoil
seems to have been the loss of the
ballot box.
For weeks the Highland Recor.
der had been urging the voters to
get out early aud vote. Now the
Recorder is the only paper in high
land county and all the voters in
The county needed the Recorders
pleas and all the voters of Monter-
ey, Irrespective of party were at the
polls when the shining sun peered
over the eastern HORIZON on the
morning of Nov 9th. Slowly the
sun wended his course athwart the
heayens and the polls had not yet
opened and the voters began to in.
quire into the cause Of the delay.
Then the news leaked out that the
ballot box could not be found. The
news flew like wild-fire and the
hubbub was intense in the village.
An alarm was sounded and soon
the whole population Of the village
were making systematic search
for the missing box. Eight o'clock
came but no word was received of
the missing property. 1t was the
most mysterious thing that had ev.
er happened in the county and the
excitement was becoming SO intense
that the leaders of both parties
were at their wits end to know
what to do To add to the excite.
ment both parties began to accuse
the other of political trickery and
attempted fraud and a free for all
fight was narrowly averted. Nine
o'clock came and still the polls had
not opened. BY this time most of
the voters in the precinct had ar
rived in town. The searchers were
called into the school house and
village meeting was held. The
question of the missing ballot box
was discussed at length and as re-
suit of the meeting the searchers
were divided into parties Of three
and the search was continued with
renewed vigor. A few minutes be-
fore ten o'clock mighty shout
rent the air and party Of search
ers came tearing down the single
street of the town with the long
lost box. It had been found in
"Luch" Sterhenson's wood house
where it had been deposited two
years before.
The box vas carried triumphant
ly into the voting place and at ten
o'clock the polls were officially pro-
claimed open amid the shouts of
all the voters.
The loss of the ballot box will be
the topic of conversation Of all the
residents of Monterey for years to
come. -Marlinton Messenger.
