ARE MAKING READY.
Officers Will Circulate Petitions in
Twenty Counties.

Nearly all of the state officers have
had their primary petitions printed and
most of them are sending out the blank
petitions to be circulated. The state
officers are planning to circulate their
petitions in at least 20 counties of the
state instead of ten counties. The pri-
mary law provides that if the petitions
are circulated in ten counties the num-
Der of Signers must be at least 1 per
cent of the total number of votes cast
for secretary of state in the last cleo
ton in the entire state. If the petitions
are circulated in 20 counties 1t is nee
essary to secure 1 per cent of the total
vote cast in those counties alone. If
the petitions were circuiatedy In ten
counties 1t would be necessary Sc
cure 1885 signatures while it is posi-
Bile to get name on the primary ball
lot by circulating the petitions in 20
counties and securing a little more than
800 names.
In the western. counties the vote is
very small, but few counties running
over 500 total votes for the secretary
of state in either party. Here is the
list showing 20 counties in which petit
tons may be circulated and the NUM-
Der of names required to entitle a can
didate to have his name placed on the
primary ballot:
Cheyenne, SO; Morton. Z; Stevens, II;
Clark, 20; Stanton, 8; Comanche, "a;
Wichita. 25; Wallace, 80; Seward, %;
Scott, 81; Ness, 90; Meade, AZ; Kiowa,
6; Hodgeman, 40; Hamilton, 30; Gray,
49, Grant, Ii.
Most of the present state officers have
friends in enough counties that will
spend few hours to get the signatures
to the petitions when it does not re-
uuire more than 40 or so names. They
could get out and get that number of
names from their own friends and
neighbors and it was for this reason
that this plan was adopted. If they de-
cided to work only in ten counties it
is expected that it would be necessary
to hire some one to do the work.
Most of the state officers are scatter
ing their petitions throughout the state.
Some of them are being careful that
no county in which they are circulating
petitions touch another county where
they are having petitions signed. 1t is
not likely that any candidate will have
much less than LOCO names on his pc
titions as they are not combining them
selves to the western part of the state
but are circulating the petitions in
every section.

TOOK COUGH SYRUP AND DIED
Federal Authorities Asked to Proceed

DR.. S. J. Crumbine, secretary of the
board of health, has asked the federal
pure food authorities to investigate
the death of baby in Erie. who is
said TO have died from opium poison
ing contained in a Group medicine.
The medicine was purchased at
drug store in Erie and on the package
it was stated that the medicine con-
tanned no injurious substances and
was absolutely safe for any person
and was especially effective in coughs
and colds. After being given but one
or two doses of the medicine the

OF course, the most interesting part

The "stove" consists of a wooden table
