be found hundreds Of umbrellas. But
not every umbrella left In the cars
Is lost long enough to ind it's way

nately be recovered sooner. 3:3
Here was a woman who had Just

Yes. Election by states is probably

Thus the manufacturing state of Penn

only BIZ electoral votes. Under the pre-
sent system, no president can be chosen

Bucolic Ignorance.

: For horses suffering from infiamma-
ton OF the lungs an old prescription
was a mixture Of shot and powder in
milk. This has even been applied to
human beings. In "Idlehurst'' men,
ton is made of sparrow shot, five or
six to the dose, to be: taken twice a
day, as remedy for brown kiters,"
which is believed by the English farm
laborer to be caused by the lights"
(their term for lungs) rising up the
windpipe. The shot is supposed to
weigh them down in their rightful
place. Sussex, England, is the scene
Of "Idlehurst." 1t was Sussex woman
who was ordered by the doctor to put
some ice in bag and bind it on the
temples Of her sick boy. Inquiring
after his patient the next day the
physician received the reply: ooh,
Tommy's better, but the mice are
dead"

Will Contest Election

James A. Raycraft Saturday filed
application with the county commits
sioners IF Ormbsy for the recount of the,
votes fJr the assembly ticket i'll Ormbsy
county and the commissioners have set
next Tuesday for the recounting of the
ballots in the contest. In his petition
Mr.. RLycraft sets out that the reports
of the judges Of the election showed
that Denis Hurley defeated him for the
assembly by one vote and therefore
under the laws Of the state he is entitled
to recount. He further alleges that
the election boards in the two Carson
and Empire precincts threw out about
20 ballots and that most of such ballots
were favorable to himself further that
part of such ballots thrown ont were
thrown out illegally and should have
been counted.

satin-pinked vest, close-sleeved to the
wrist, and over the body doublet fine
ly lowered, and embroidered with
pearls, and in the feather Of his hat
a large ruby and pearl drop at the
bottom of sprig in place of but

and ribbon garters, fringed at the end,
were all white; and his buff shoes, on
great court days, were gorgeously
covered with precious stones. He had
a suit Of armor Of solid silver, with
sword and belt blazing with diamonds,

How to Place Your Pillow.

You have probably been accustomed
to sleep since your childhood on a
pair of pillows lying broadwise to
your head. Sometimes you cannot
sleep, however. Just try lying on
them placed longwise, SO that the
lower ends will touch your armpits.
You will find the amount Of repose
you get is double what you derive
from them when placed in the ordinary
fashion, which really leaves nothing
for the base Of the neck to rest upon.
A properly constructed pillow should
rest the head, neck and shoulders. The
one most in vogue rests only the head.

TUESDAY. NOVEMBER 10, 1908
AS TO ELECTORAL VOTE

Will the president of the United
States be elected November 81
ss.He will not. The people in each
state will merely choose set of electors
or most of whom they have never
heard
What will the electors do?
They will assemble in their state
capitals on the second Monday in
january and ballot for president and
vice president. Each of these as
semblies is called an electoral
college. There are many electoral
colleges as there are states. The ter
ritolies and the District of Columbia
have no presidential vote.
Suppose candidate should die be-
tween the November election and the
date of the assembling of the elector-
Ill college2
The electors would probably receive
Instructions from national conven-
tion or from recognized party leaders
In 1872. when Greeley, the minority
candidate, died after the election,
his votes were scattered. Six Georgia
electors, for instance, voted for B.
Gratz Brown and three for Greedy.
The Greedy votes were rejected by con-
gress. Thomas A. Hendricks and
Brown divided the votes that had been
intended for Greeley.
After the voting what is done2
A certified copy is sent by special
messenger to Washington. On the
second Wednesday in February con-
gress meets to count the votes and to
announce the election.
If there is a dispute over the cleo
toral vote of certain states as there
was in 1876, what is done2
In 1887 congress enacted a law
providing that if doubtful returns
should be sent in, the one should be
received which has the certificate of
state tribunal appointed to canvass
the votc-that is, it is left to state au-
thOritics to decide whether the elector-
al votes are cast by electors duly chosen.
How are the number of electors for
each state chosen2
Each state has as many as it has
senators and representatives.
Does the constitution prescribe how
electors must he chosen?
No. 1t leaves this to the state.
Are they not always voted for on a
general ticket?
They happen To be now. But a
Legislature may provide differently.
In 1876 the Colorado Legislature chose
the state electors. Mr.. Thomas Wat
son said the other day that under the
ln~s Of Georgia il 10 ticket receives a
majority in Georgia the choice of cleo
tors is thrown into the Legislature. In
1892 Michigan voted on it's electors by
congressional districts.
How do states sometimes split their
electoral votes.
Occasionally Il popular clector will
receive enough complimentary votes
TO elect him even if his fellows on tho
ticket are defeated. Sometimes mis-.
takes in marking ballots will result in
~ divided electoral vote i'm u close

What determines the date of the
national clectiOnY
In 1915 congress prescribed that it
be held on the Tuesday after the irst
Monday in November. Before that
time some of the states held elections
on different days

the exception of some minor legsla-
ton from time to time the laws of the
state relating to the militia have been
unchanged for twenty years. One i'm

STATE At THROAT OF OCTOPUS.
6IaisdeII Ready for First Prosecution
in North Dakota

u NVVIn OAkOIds
Alfred Blaisdell, secretary of state,
is preparing papers for the hearing in
the case against the Standard Oil Co.,
which comes up June 1, on complaint
filed by Attorney General McCue.
The case is the first brought under
the anti law and the law giving
the secretary arbitrary authority to re-
woke the right Of a corporation to do
business when he is satisfied that the
laws of the state have been violated.
The complaint charges that discrim.
ination has been practiced by the
Standard Oil Co. in its business in
various towns in the state, and that
varying prices have been charged the
same distance from the base Of SUP.
plies. where the freight rate was the
same. The attorney general has not
made a statement from the evidence
in his hands, but it is stated that he
has original documents signed by the
agents Of the oil company fixing the
prices and showing discrimination.
There is some question as to wheth.
er the state has the authority to re.
woke the right of a corporation to do
business, and the Standard people.
should the case be decided against
them by the secretary Of state, will
probably appeal to the courts.
Statements that the case was
brought for the purpose Of creating
political sentiment are denied by the
secretary of state and attorney gen.
eral, who say the complaints were for.
mally lodged with them, and it was
their duty to proceed Immediately un-
der the law.
The petitions for candidates for
state Office were practically all fled
to-day in the Office Of the secretary
Of state.

SON WOULD BREAK WILL.

North Dakota Farmer Left $4,000 to
Charity.
When John Sacrison Of Richland
county died he left will bequeath.
ing half Of his estate to his son and
half Of it to found a charity In his old
home parish in Sweden. Sacrison has
been poor boy in Sweden, and mem
cries Of the sufferings of poor chill
dren probably prompted him to pro.
vide home where they might receive
better treatment than is accorded the
unfortunate child whose parents are
not able to support 1t.
Sacrison's will provided that his son
should have section Of land in Rich.
land county, which, with the improve
ments, is worth about $4,000. He di.
rected that the remainder of his es.
tate, consisting of section of land in
Minnesota and a section in Richland
county should be sold and that his ex-
ecutors should arrange with the au-
thorities in Sweden for the founding
Of a home and a perpetual charity
toward poor children. If the authori.
ties would contribute toward the main.
tenance of home, it was to be built
on a large scale, but the bequest was
An action to break the will was
brought by the son on the ground of
Indebtedness in the terms of the
charitable bequest, but the will was
sustained in the probate and district
courts, from which the contestants
have appealed to the supreme court.
It was argued before the court last
week and submitted. The parish en-
ployed G. E. Wolfe as attorney to
protect its rights under the bequest
and Swedish Vice Consul Jackson of
Minneapolis also appeared before the
supreme court in an argument to sus-
tain the will.
