ceiving a hearty welcome. Mr.. Kern's

were on the grounds and as many as
could be seated In the big livestock
pavilion crowded into the edlfice to
hear the candidate deliver a brief
partisan address
Il am glad" said Mr.. Kern, that
there are occasions like this. when
the people of all shades of opinion
may meet on common ground and a
common platform seeking the general
welfare by promoting the arts of in

NO CHANGE IN
BALLOT FORM
Will be Printed Without the
Circles.

The legal committee of the coun-
ty seat removal committee held a
session today for the purpose of con-
sidering the advisability OF testing
the legality of the ballot to be used
In the county seat election, as sub
mltted to the printer by Auditor
Quarles, and decided to accept the
ballot without having the court rule
upon it. This decision was arrived
at, owing to the fact that there is
not sufficient time between now and
election to carry the matter to the
supreme court, and a decision on
the subject by the district court
would be of little significance as 1t
would not be final and an appeal lie
from it to the supreme court.
The ballot first submitted by the
auditor, and sample of which was
used in the mandamus petition be-
fore the supreme court, brought for
the purpose of ascertaining as to
whether the correct form nf ballot
to be used in the election was that
provided for by the law of 1899 or
the law of 1905, besides containing
the question to be voted upon, al
so had circle following the words
Eyes" and mo" The court held
that the proper form to be used was
that provided fol uader the 1899
law, but made no ruling as to
whether a circle would be used or
not as the court did not consider that
question before it for decision. After
this decision. Auditor Quarles decid-
ed to follow the form provided for
under the 1899 law strictly, and
eliminated the circles on the ballot.
The legal committee and the county
attorney, when the auditor directed
the ballot to be printed in this man
ner doubted it legality, and an opin-
ion was rendered by the county at
torney to the effect that the circles
should be used. Auditor Quarles,
however, declined to change his POI
sition, and the committee finally de-
cided to accept the ballot.

without a circle after the word yes

NEW ORLEANS, La, Oct 2S.-
Dependency verging upon insanity

kill the bridegroom. Beauye and
vaningen had been rivals for the
hand of the bride. and the former
had been rejected for the latter.
Beauve was unable to recover from
