They Want to Know.
he Editor of The Star:

To the Editor of The Star:
 Dear Sir:-With your permis- sion, some of us will make a statement through The Star and ask for some information.
 Before the state election Big Fork township was divided into two voting precincts, No. l and Nc. 2. In No. l there were sey- era. candidates for township of- ticers, but all were defeated by candidates in No. ?. Later there was a new township formed out of No. 2, known as Mill Creek township, leaving No. l as Big Fork township, without officers. Then then the following petition was presented to Judge Prickett; ITO the Honorable County Court
 of Polk County:
 "We, the undersigned voters of Big Fork township, respect fully ask that you appoint J. B. Lilies road overseer of said town ship, for the following reasons:
 "That at the last election J. B. Lilies received 2S votes; A. E. Dill beck. 14; and J. c. Bates, &; and believing it will be to the best in- terest or the road district, we pray you to graut this petition. !"
 This was signed by 5S voters and with a note was delivered to Judge Prickett by registered mail in due time for consideration.
 Now, the information we want Is:
 First-What pressure was brought 10 bea- to cause Judge Prickett to appoint the man who received the smallest number of votes, regardless Of the wishes of the people7
 Second Was there caucus held between Judge Prickett and the two defeated candidates for road overseer and the justice of the peace who received the small est number of votes, at which it was agreed beforehand who should have the spells, and did not Judge Prickett promise the office to the man he afterwards appointed2
 Thirds this the way Judge Pickett shows his appreciation of the almost unanimous vote he received at the late election at this preciucty

The Eastern Situation.

The.peorle OF Servia seem to have come
out of their war spasm without having
harmed their constitution. They are much
less eager for a conflict with Austria over
the annexation Of Bosnia Herzegovina
than they were. There may be ministerial
changes and other political disturbances
In the state over the troubles lately
brought to q crisis. but 1t Is altogether
improbable that q Servian army will
march upon the forces Of Emperor Fran
els Joseph. Admonitions have probably
been received from high quarters In Eu-
rope significant Of the folly OF such a
course. and it may be doubted now
whether the Balkan war cloud which has
lowered SO menacingly lately will break.
The latest dispatches indicate disposition
on the part Of the Turkish government to
accept the recent changes as accom-
plished facts and to trust to future de-
velopments to effect a readjustment sat-
isfactory to it, The most important phase
of the question now relates to the evil
dent rivalry between England and Ger
many for Turkish favor. It Is quite plain
that England 10 playing a shrewd game.

Crane.

Senator Crane, after tour Of the west,
has returned home, and says about the
political situation:
There are still some mighty dark
places, but take things as a whole, they
look pretty fair for Taft. The apathy and
indifference Of the last month are olsap-
pearing and the republican campaign l.
taking on new life
Mr.. Crane has record for sagacity and
good generalship In both politics and
business and these observations are OF
weight He wants Judge Taft to win
but Is not deceiving himself about the
hard work that will be necessary right
up to election day. 1t is of interest gen.
orally to republicans that MIR. Crane Will
spend the greater part OF the next three
weeks at his party's New York headquar-
tiers.
