QUARRY GETS DEPOT.

The state railway commission has
rendered decision requiring the Wis
coasin Central TO build depot at
Quarry. The complaint in the case was
lodged by F. A. Kruger, merchant at
Quarry. The decision is victory for
Attorneys Kelley & Wysemann. who
appeared before the commission in the
latter part of October last in support of
the demands made by Mr.. Kruger and
other petitioners of the village. The
decision referred to requires the railway
company to file plans for station with
in ten days from the date on which the
decision was rendered, and the new sta
tion building is to be completed before
February first next. The petition asked
for an agent, but this requ est the com
mission denied.
Heretofore passengers going to Quarry
were required to pay full fare TO either
Nalders or Collins. The decision in
question requires the company to dis
continue the charging of an excess fare.
Among the points argued in support
of the petition mentioned were these
Passengers wishing to take train at
Quarry are compelled to be exposed TO
the weather and to flag the trains rs
they pass. Less than carload freight is
exposed to the weather, there being no
place for its temporary storage. More
than 1000 tons of freight has arrived at
Quarry during the past year and over
800 tons has left that hamlet during the
year.

Schuette's address were inadvertently

following:
TRIBUTE TO MANITOWOC.
In WiscOnsin's grand domain,
On one Of Michigan's placid bays,
There lies the little city
OF Manitowoc, q romantic name
An lpdlan term, which means the same
AS the land of good spirits,
Although possessed of no great wealth,
1t offers the most vigorous health
To all therein maintained
Which in itself is worth far more
Than millions put away in store,
By which health cant be attained
And if we earnestly are bent
To join with good health content,
We can defy the world
To show happier population
OF any city in creation,
The equal of our own.
SO do not look with frown
Upon the beauty Of our town;
Nor sneer because not grown
To metropolis of renown
For health and contentedness
Will bring the greatest happiness,
December Z, 1906.

Dunn Pocket Ballot.

The question, "Shall chapter 522
of the laws of Ioo5-an act to pro-
vide for the use of the pocket ballot
and coupon voting system, and to
amend section As of the statutes of
I8oS.-be adopted2" will be on the
ballot to be voted at the springs
election.
This ballot is a sort Of substitute
for the cumbersome and complicated
Australian ballot,the "blanket" ballot
in use. The Australian ballot needs
reforming. The one meritorious rec
concentration before the recent
special session was that the ballot
should be simplified by removing
the square or circle embracing the
whole party ticket. AS an excuse
for not doing this the Legislators
thought they would see what would
be the issue of the Dunn Pocket
ballot.
The pocket ballot is comparative
ly simple. The candidates names
are printed on sheets of cardboard
about 5xS inches in size, each party
sheet being of different color.
Each name is surrounded by peri
Grafton like a postage stamp SO that
it can be easily torn from the rest.
These several party sheets are sta
pied together at the top. The voter
simply tears out the sheet, or parts
of different sheets that he wishes to
vote, and encloses them in the peck
ct envelope which is then deposited
in the ballot box. The rem aiming
portion is enclosed in another envel-
ope of different color and design,
which is placed in another box, thus
serving as check for tracing fraud
ulent ballots.
