The extraordinary popularity Of fine
white goods this summer makes the
choice of Starch matter of great i'm.
portance. Defiance Starch, being free
from all injurious chemicals, is the
only one which is safe to use on fine
fabrics. Its great strength as a stiff
ener makes half the usual quantity OF
Starch necessary. with the result of
perfect finish, equal to that when the
goods were new.

charges OF frauds

Nj make grave charges of frauds
alleged to have been committed in
connection with the election on
Tuesday a week ago.
The Estancia News, published at
the county 9 of Torrance county,
makes the unqualified statement that
in one precinct of Torrance County
the election books and ballot boxes
were not delivered to the judges at
all until after election day. In anoth-
er precinct it is charged that an
election judge was unceremoniously
thrown out of the election booth by
the other two judges, who completed
the election without the participation
of clerks. In a third precinct it is
not allowed to vote, and from other
precincts it is charged that the bal
lot boxes were delivered into the
hands of private citizens instead of
to the county clerk as required by
law. In the precinct of Pinos Wells
the News charges that more votes
were in the ballot box than there
were names on the registration books
of the precinct, while in Cienega it
is charged that the judges uncere-
m~oniously examined each ballot be-
fore it was placed in the box.
The News makes the further state
ment that challengers at the polls in
the precincts referred to are prepar
ed to make oath t. the statements
published.
The charges of election frauds in
Colfax county, made by the Springer
Stockman (Dem.) are not in detail
as in the case of the Torrance coun-
ty charges, but are more serious. 1t
is generally charged hat the Colfax
county coal camp Democrats were
not allowed to vote and Democratic
challengers were unceremoniously
driven away from the polls. No in
stances in detail are given of the
acts charged, but it is alleged that
Of illegal votes were cast
in these camps. The Stockman calls

frauds alleged to have been com

In Bernalillo county the ballot box
was stolen from one precinct after
the returns were sent in-but upon
the advice of the district attorney,
the vote of the precinct was counted
as sent in by the election board, Civ
ing Delegate Andrews a majority of
120 from the precinct. This may be
legal, but is certainly a peculiar
brand of honesty.

THE-kIckEa.

For years he kicked about the way
Corruption had been reigning;
He swore that swiftly, day by day.
Bad government was gaining.
All day, all night, asleep, awake,
The evils he was noting:
Then made the usual mistake
Forgot the need of voting.
Each day but one throughout the
year
He howled for reformation;
Election day ed disappear
And cease his agitation.
He said wrongs made him sick at
heart
And filled him with detection;
And hen he'd fail to do his part
By voting on election.

General Cortelyou has now issued an

Useful Teeth.

Many different reasons are assigned
by people for their unwllingness to
submit to the extraction of teeth. But
it was no fear of pain which was up
permost in the mind of Miss Mehitable
Lamson of Willowby, when told by the
dentist that she would be much benc-
flied by the loss of two of her promi-
nent teeth.
'You say they can't be fjlled,' she
said, in evident distress, land you
couldn't get any others in for me for
more'n fortnight?"
The dentist admitted, reluctantly.
that it was so.

get on as best 1 can," and Miss Mehlt-

PRIVILEGED TRAVELLERS.

Danish Roads Compelled to Carry
'sDeadheads' PerpetualIy.
The town Of Lauenburg, in Schleswig-
Holstein, enjoys a privilege which is
probably unique in the world-that of
free transit by rail to and from the
neighboring town Of Buchen. AS the in
habitants number about $500 and the
distance is about nine miles, the costli-
ness of the privilege to the railway
companies is great.
The queer exemption, according to
the London Globe, dates from 1874,
when the Berlin Hamburg line was
built. The Lauenburgers made great
sacrifices to secure that the line should
touch their town, but the physical diff
culties were SO great that the engineers
abandoned the idea and took 1t through
Buchen, to which town the Danish gov
eminent afterward constructed a
branch from Lauenburg, giving to the
Lauenburgers in perpetuity the right of
free transit for themselves and their
baggage.
The Prussian railway administration
has several times tried to rid itself Of
this burden, but the courts have always
upheld the right Quite recently a
Lauenburg choral society, made to pay
their fares to Meckleaburg, have ap-
pealed and. the courts have ordered the
deduction Of the Buchen portion.
