Chicaeo's Great Stock Show Only
Two Weeks Away.

The managers of the Chicago
International Live Stock EXPOSE
ton to be held this year from Nov.
% to December 10, has made many
improvements for this show and
again demonstrated it's liberality
by installing a new heating sys-
tenn in the sheep section, where
by this department will be COM
fortably warmed.
All sheep judging will be done
in newly built, light and COM
modious rings, one on the south
side of the main building and IN
other on the north side, both on
the exhibition floor, thus obviat-
ing the necessity of taking the
sheep to the floor below as was
done last year.
New modern lights have been
installed in every division of tn e
show, making all the buildings as
bright as day.
Transportation facilities to the
International amphitheatre have
been greatly improved by the
completion early this year of tn e
electric elevated road. The street
railway system has been COM
pletely remodeled, and altogether
the transportation service has
been SO greatly improved that all
railroad depots, hotels and stores
and places of amusement are in
easy access for all visitors to this
great show.

THE bunglesome, awkward, ILL
digested election laws have made
a clear expression of the will Of
the people almost impossible.
The general Assembly will be
called upon to revise and improve
the election law. The machinery
runs too slow. The work OF
judges and clerks is too compli-
Gated. Questions of law and pre-
cedure r too many and intri-
cate. The people are hindered in
voting and election officials are
hindered in counting votes. There
is no good reason, why the cleo
ton laws should. not be made
plain, simple and easy to be un-
derstood, and their is no sense in
mixing the names of candidates
with constitutional amendments,
Senatorial candidates and bond
propositions.
And, may we ask, why should
the ballots be separate? Why moi
a sheet of ballots instead of 6
handful of narrow sheets?

Champ certainly enjoyed a brief,

A Defective Election Law.

Isn't there entirely too much
secrecy in the compilation of
election returns in Missouri 1t
is almost ten days since the polls
closed and the votes were counted,
yet the..people are still in doubt
and confusion regarding the fate
of most of the nominees for the
various State offices. II it were
not for the unexampled effort to
gather in the news, which the
Republic has made this year,
pertinaciously continued after
every other newspaper in the
State had Abandoned the eask,
there would be practically no in
formation about the outcome.
The tabular statement of the
vote on State offices, which has
appeared day after day in the Re-
public has been regularly and
carefully revised in the light of
all the information to be obtained
from it's correspondents, or to be
gathered from the party commit
tees, and it IA quite probably be
accepted as approximately ac-
curate. But this information is
secured under many needless
difficulties. The election law
makes no provision for the who'll
ly natural curiosity of the people
of the State, and it should be
amended at the coming session of
the Legislature. so as to permit
the newspapers to get some ad-
equate knowledge of what has
happened after an election is held.
Under the present law the pre-
cinct judges transmit their returns
under seal to the County Court in
each County and nobody at the
County seat can tell what the
precinct figures are until the
Court takes up the official canvass.
The expedition with which that
duty is disposed of depends, of
course, on the personal of the
court, and as things go, slow
moving judges in a few Counties
can keep the whole State in un-
certainty for days, when an cleo
ton is as close as it was this time
The law should be amended SO
as to require the precinct judges
throughout the State to do just
what the judges have been volun-
tarily doing in St. Louis for a
number of years. This is to make
out a duplicate of their official
returns to be used in giving
authentic information to the pub
lie. This duplicate could be sent
to the County Clerk, who could al
once fit up the returns from the
various precincts in his County
and let the public know what the
vote of the County is. There is
absolutely no reason why this
plan should not work just as sat
isfactorily in the interior Counties
as the plan by which The Repub-
lie is able to give full City figures
the day after election in ST. Louis
l In this connection it may bt
added that Secretary of State
Swanger deserves to be compli

THE GREAT sPL|T-LOG DRAG
South Travis Changed from Awful
Bog to Hard, Smooth Street.

Sherman, Texas, April 2S.-The
work of dragging South Travis
street in this city was completed
Saturday afternoon. and that por-
tion of the thoroughfare is now as
firm and hard as the north end,
which is paved.
The successful work of the drag
has caused a great deal of favorable
comment and a much larger interest
than has heretofore been manifested
t in street work in Sherman.
Forrest Moore, resident of that
street and prominent business man,
speaking of the work done on Tray-
is. Houston and Lamar streets, said:
| THE work of putting the streets OF
Sherman in first class condition, and
keeping them in that condition, will
| cost about 4 cents per annum per
running foot, or cents per side Of
the street, making it cost the prop
erty owners something like from S2
to $4 per year for the work, and
am in favor of calling a meeting OF
| all the property owners on Montgom-
cry, Walnut Travis, Crockett, Rusk
and Elm streets. for the purpose OF
organizing a street working brigade
| The truth of the matter is the price
named would almost if not quite
keep the streets in good shape fol
two years instead of one, for after
the work of getting them in condi-
ton has been accomplished it would
not take so much work to keep them
in that condition"
The work of the drag has been a
| revelation to the people of Sherman
| and there is no doubt but that it will
! be used a great deal more in the flu
| ture than in the past.
