A Passenger Ticket.

The principle that when a railroad
company sells a ticket that ticket is
good for one ride between the points
named. upon it is we'll known one, yet
it is one that the railroads have con-
sistentiy fought for many years, claim
ing that ticket was contract
entered into between the company and
the purchaser whereby the latter agrees
that no one but himself shall use the
same for transportation. In this con-
ncction the Supreme Court in New
York has recently handed down an i'm
portant decision in which it is said that
the right to sign another mans name
TO Il railroad ticket which has been sold
by one passenger to another is not
forgery, and that the sale of the ticket
carries with it the purchasers right to
sign to it the name of the man from
whom he bought it. This decision,
which is the first of its kind, sets
precedent in the exchange of railroad
tickets which effects thousands of

McGAW.WOODS CONTEST
DEFINITELY SETTLED.
Case Withdrawn and Costs will be Paid
by the Petitioners.-Mr. McGaw will
Serve Full Term.

Case Withdrawn and Costs will be Paid
by the Petitioners.-Mr. McGaw will
Serve Full Term.
1t was stated in The STAR last week
that the election contest case of e. T.
McGaw and Frank Woods had virtually
been settled in Mr.. McGaw's favor, but
that Judge Reed had held the case over
until Monday, January 15, to get all the
names of the original signers OF the
petition for the contest on the petition
for withdrawal of the contest, all but
three having signed the withdrawal
petition when the case came before the
court on the 8th inst. The other three
names were added to the petition last
week and on Monday OF this week
Judge Reed dismissed the case at the
cost of the petitioners, and Mr. McGaw
will now serve the full term as COM
missioner. Mr.. McGaw will fill the
office creditably and can always be de-
pended upon to look faithfully after the
interests of the tax payers of Jefferson
county.
The charge in the petition for
contesting Mr.. McGaw's seat on board
of county commissioners was that about
seventy illegal votes had been polled in
North Young township by persons
whose names did not appear on the
register, and there was no charge OF
fraud either against the election board
or Mr.. McGaw, in fact Mr.. McGaw
knew nothing about the vote in North
Young precinct until the contest case
was instituted. 1t appears now that
the names of most all, II not all, of those
charged with illegal voting were on the
register, but they are foreigners and
were not registered under the same
names they had given at other places.
The judge said in his remarks in dis
missing the case that there was no
charge OF fraud in the petition, only a
irregularity of the election board.
We understand that out OF thirty
precincts investigated in getting up a
defense for Mr.. McGaw, that there was
not one in which irregularity, from one
to forty-three votes, was not found on
the same ground that complaint was
made in North Young precinct.
1t is also claimed that some election
boards paid no attention to the sheriff's
proclamation and the election laws in
organizing the boards, in as much as
township officers and U. S. mail carriers
were allowed to sit on election boards.

Marc, the Magician.

There is nothing more delightful to
the little ones, or the older ones either,
than an entertainment in magic. They
have all read about Aladdin and his
wonderful lamp. They have all read
the fascinating books of Hans Ander
son, and the marvellous "Grimm's Fairy
Tales" and know the different wizards
in these stories so we'll that II they met
them on the street they wouldn't be the
least afraid. But 1t is one thing to
read about these wizards of ''ye olden
times" and quite another to see one in
this enlightened day of the world. To
be sure there are only few, very few
real meritorious and recognized con-
jurors in our country to-day, and "the
youngest of the great and the greatest
of the young" of these wonder-workers
is Marc. His easy graceful manner and
pleasant conversational way of present
ing things to his audience at once wins
their confidence and esteem. For by
his peculiar method of working he gives
out the impression that he is not trying
to deceive his audience, and to this fact
alone may be attributed a greater por-
tion of Maro's success, for his auditors
at once become on friendly terms with
him, and enter into the various illu-
sons almost as ardently as the magic
ian himself. Marc is always looking
about him for something new, and is
constantly presenting program OF late
novelties. He may be termed ''popu-
lar conjuror," for he is just wise enough
for the sedate, humorous enough for
the jovial, refined enough for the
and just mysterious enough
to please the old and the young alike.

Marc as an Artist.

A magician must have some artistic
temperament but an artist need not have
the temperament OF a necromancer. In
Marc, however, are combined both
these talents. He is an exponent OF art
in its highest sense, and the large
pictures drawn by him in full colors OF
nature on his mechanically revolving
easel are truly an exhibition of art and
dexterity. He draws them in from
twenty-five to forty-five seconds and to
make it more wonderful and entertain
ing to the audience the pictures are
drawn edge wise and up side down, the
easel board afterwards being righted,
by mechanical contrivance, when the
beauty OF real work OF art suddenly
dawns upon you, for Marc is real
artist. At Assembly hall Friday even
ing, January 26.
