ADOPT VOTING MACHINES
Council Committee Votes to Buy the
Columbia.

The committee of the city council on
ways and means met Friday afternoon
Tor the purpose of taking action on the
question of voting machines There
were four machines exhibited to the
committee for inspection. the Wins1ow,
=Colufn bia, Standard and Abbott. The
representatives of Topeka firm asked
the committee to postpone action until
they could have their own machines
set up. This firm is a Kansas COM
pany in which several Topeka men are
interested.
All the machines except the Column
bia have bells which ring when the vote
Is cast Mr.. Barr, the representative of
the Columbia, tells why their machine
has no bell. They used to put bells on
the machine, but one time at an Indi-
ana election the bell got out of fix and
refused to ring. A man came to vote
and when he turned the voting lever
the bell kept still and the voter thought
he had been buncoed out of his vote
He Immediately began to hunt trouble
and the election judges had a hard time
convincing him that his vote had been
registered and that the bell had nothing
to do with it, Since the bell really was
of no practical use the makers quit
putting it on so now the machine has
no plaything bell attachment.
: The committee after considering the
machines has recommended the pur-
chase of Columbia machines. 1t Is
thought that Is machines will be suf
to fit the new plan. Until then the COM
pany offer to allow the city to use eight
extra machines in the other precincts.
These machines cost 800 apiece and
can be paid for in installments of 500
each year, the debt to pay per cent
interest after the first payment.
This machine is as simple as any of
them in operation. The voter can vote
a straight ticket by simply using one
lever. If he votes straight he can cast
his ballot in about five seconds. If he
splits his ticket he must turn down
the pointers on the candidate he does
not want and turn up one in the same
vertical row. Not more than one in
vertical row can be turned at a time so
that a mutilated ticket is impossible.
The keys in the machine are three in
number and are divided between the
judges and the election commissioners
1t takes all three keys to open the ma
chine and so it is difficult if not i'm
possible to tamper with results. In fact
it would require board that was en-
tireIy corrupt before any tamperlng
could be done. The use of the machines
greatly reduces the expense OF elections
and makes it possible to get the count
in a very short time after the closing OF
the polls. If a voter wishes to vote
candidate that is not on any ticket he
must turn the lever releasing a paper
roll on which he writes the name OF
his candidate If this is done 1t makes
necessary more counting.

LOOKS IN TOWN FOR YEGG MEN,
Sheriff WilkerSon Thinks There Are
Some in Silver Lake.

After putting in most of a day in
working on the blowing up Of the safe
in the Union Pacific ticket office at
Silver Lake on Thursday night or
son returned to the city this morning
and stated that he had been unable to
find any clues or evidence which
would indicate who pulled off the
trick that netted the robbers but
about thirteen dollars. Sheriff wiki
erson said that it was his opinion that
the safe blowing had been accom-
plished by persons within the town
and not by outsiders.
There are four or five men, who
hang around that locality" ssaid
Sheriff Wilkerson, ''who are more or
less suspicious characters and who
have had no apparent means of sup
port but We could find nothing which
would warrant the arrest of any Of
them.
This is the third safe that has been
blown open and robbed in Silver Lake
within the last eighteen months. The
first one was at Kelly'S store and but
a small amount of money was secured.
The second safe to be cracked was in
the Office of a lumber yard and not a
cent was found in IT.
1.-THE robbers got about $3.50 out
of the Union Pacific safe and they
also burst open the cash drawer and
secured thirty-seven cents in change.
1t is a peculiar coincidence that the
three safe crackings were all pulled
off on rainy nights and that is one
thing which leads to the conclusion
that they have been the work of per-
sons within the town. All of the safes
were blown open in the same manner
and tools were used on each occasion
which had been stolen from the local
blacksmith shops
Sheriff Wilkerson may go to Silver
Lake within a day or two to put in
some further work on the case.

HAS A GOOD SALT WE'LL.
ID. p. Shaft, of Chase County, May Put
in a Plant.

Cottonwood Falls, Kan, June Id.
P. Shaft, a farmer of this county, has
an artesian salt well on his farm near
Clements. 1t was first discovered last
fall while he was drilling a prospect
well for gas, when the salt water
flooded the well and has since con-
timed to flow constantly. The well is
500 feet deep. and is lined with iron
casing such as is used in gas wells.
Recently, Mr.. Shaft sent sample of
the water to the Kansas university at
Lawrence for analysis, and it was
shown to contain a large per cent of
salt of an exceptionally good quality.
He expects to make further investi-
cations, and may some day put in
salt plant.

The Providence JOurnol has begun a campaign against the hip pocket as the receptacle of deadly possibilities. The following are the facts and the conclusions:
 "A young Michigan lad found a dyna- mite cap the other day and carefully placed it in his hip pocket with the idea of experimenting with it later on. His mother did the experiment before he had an opportunity, and the results were fatal The kid did something naughty and his mother promptly laid him across her knee and started to spank him. The first spank did the work. The instrument of castigation brought into play was a shingle. and when it connected with the dynamite there Was a loud explosion. The boy was fatally injured and the mother sustained some damage.
 About Fourth of July time there was Brooklyn man who bought q pack age of torpedoes. the loud kind. for his children, and put them in his hip pock- ct ond started for home. Ahe the first corner he slipped on a banana peel struck the sidewalk in the uauel atti- tude, and there was an awIuI bang. His clothing was so badly shattered by the toy explosive that the police made him borrow several garments and then finish his homeward journey In a cov- erd carriage
 Hip pockets are evidently dangerous and perhaps they ought to be abolish ed. They ought to be, anyway, in the case of small boys. The small boys pockets are likely to contain anything and dynamite or gun cotton are as likely 10 be included among the con- tents as anything else. It is well to search hip pockets carefully before be- ginnng to spank. Otherwise no father or mother can be sure that their little boy will not blow up during the pro- cess.

PHOENIX ARIZ, SEPT. Ia. 1907.
NEVAZONA.

The consideration of even an absurd subject may be indulged in an idle moment. There originated somewhere the rumor that since joint statehood for New Mexico and Arizona had fail- ed an effort would be made to soothe the presidents disappointment by uniting Arizona and Nevada, since it appeared that jointure somewhere and somehow was a necessary panacea. It is certain that this merger has been seriously thought of by no responsible and well informed persons, any more than has been that equally crazy prop osition of forming a state of Arizona and Southern California.
 The Mining Reporter of New York. however, having been led to believe that the jointure of Arizona and Ne vada is actually in contemplation. offers under the head of An Absurd Sug- gestion." the following excellent req son why it should not be effected:
 "Acfording to the last census, the HOPAAdlAolA bA -NtNAGei was p4AAs r-.U1Ds but since the gold discoveries in the Goldfeld and Tonopah districts, the claim has been made that Nevada has 55.O0O persons within her borders. The gossip arises out of the recent an nouncement that the .'reAdenc would not make any further effort to obtain joint statehood for Arizona and New Mexico.
 No further evidence that the silly season tarries at the national capital is needed than this absurd gossip. With Arizona in a neck and neck race with Montana for first piace among the copper-prOduchlg states, and Ne vada making rapid strides toward the golden goal neither would surrender its prestige and wipe out its name voluntarily by jont statehood. And we doubt if any political party or admin istration encouraging such open rob- bery could survive the storm that would break on its cOnsummation.
 Arizona and Nevada are gems of rare brilliancy and value. and should forever find conspicuous place in the national diadem."
