Now Up to the Voters.

A second Legislature having ap-
proved the proposed amendments OF
the State Constitution for the abolition
OF the February elections, the propo-
sition will be submitted to the voters
next September, and II approved by a
majority the amendments will become
effective, and there will be no more
''spring" elections after those of next
February.
This means that municipal officers
will be elected In November, as are
county and state officers. 1t is not
deemed advisable. however, that these
should be elected at the same time, and
the amendments, therefore, provide
that the election Of the city, borough
and township officers shall take place
In the odd numbered years. In order
to accomplish this, all three year terms,
such as the Auditor Generals, are in
creased to four years, and in one in
stance, the State Treasurer, a two year
term is made four years. City and
county officers from one to two years,
and aldermen and justices Of the peace
from five to six years, Go TIE various
changes will result In extending the
terms Of many men now In office.

Feminine Eloquence.

Logical, eloquent, clear-headed,
warm hearted, and enthusiastically
devoted to her chosen work is Mrs.
Florence d. Richards, of Ohio, the
temperance lecturer and champion OF
humanity. She was at Good Templar's
Hall yesterday afternoon and the house
was so full that not another chair could
be placed. Her wonderfully realistic
and pathetic stories OF the misery
caused by rum brought tears streaming
from the eyes Of aged men and boys,
who sat with earnest faces and look
not encouraging to the future profits
Of the liquor traffic. Throughout the
discourse everyone present gave the

Some Of the older men signified their
approval by frequently shouting, "Yes,

REFORM FUNERAL CUSTOMS.
Ministerial Association Presents Pro-
gram With No Flowers or
Ostentation.

Reforms In funeral customs are urged
by the Ministerial Association OF Mars
aud Valencia, Butler Co., which has
adopted the following as an expression
OF Its attitude:
That bodies OF deceased persons are
entitled to decent, respectable. Chris
tian putting away and nothing more.
That Sabbath funerals, interfering
as they do with proper Sabbath OBJ
servance, should be avoided as far as
possible.
That one minister at funeral is
sufficient, more than this tending to
needless ostentation.
That church funerals should be dis
couraged, being unsanitary and minis
tering only to show and display.
That funeral is properly conducted
by reading a passage Of Scripture, fol-
lowed by prayer. In case discourse or
Grafton Is desired no mention should be
made of the dead except perhaps the
reading Of brief biography prepared
by friends and handed to the officiating
minister.
That flowers, while being beaNiiul
means OF showing respect to the living,
are out of place on the casket OF the
dead
That the nromenade itviawipty tho ra.

tending only to morbid curiosity, OPP

The purpose of the organization is to promote the social interests of the clerks, take care of them in sickness and when out of employment and deal with empowers regarding wages and hours. The state law provides that women shall not work more than nine hours a day, but this is sometimes ig- nored by department stores on Satur- days and to enforce it the officers say it will be necessary to perfect the or ganization. The store owners say that with one or two exceptions the stores close at o'clock every evening. They will make an investigation ard if re- ports made by the union are borne out the retail dealers organization will call upon state officials to prosecute, the offenders.

MORE COMMITTEES FOR RECEPTION

Question of Banquet a Pug. zler for Those in Charge
 of Arrangements

At another meeting of the general committee on arrangements for the re. ception of William Jennings Bryan, on the occasion of his visit to this city on November 22, held at the office of Judge Hinson Thomas last night, mum. erous sub committees for general ar engagements were appointed.
 As general entertainment commit. tee, c. w. Rawlins, G. w. Shute, l.. C.. Mover, w. s. Sultan and J. M. MeCol. lum were appointed. This committed will name a general reception commit tee of fifty, arrange for reception and secure music for the evenings enter. tainment.
 As committee on fnanee, MayoJ Al. Kinney, J. $. Miles, Pat Rose. Rob ert Pinyan, A. T. Hammons, Harry Sul- tan, Ed Grider, P. F. Greer, J.,J. Kee gan and s. F. Sullenberger were named.
 The banquet proposition proved diff cult to solve, owing to inability of the committeeman to secure a suitable place for this affair. It is held that it would be impossible to hold banquet at Dreamland after Mir Bryan's lecture, and it is probable that some other loca. tion will be secured.
 To settle this matter definitely and without delay committee consisting of J. w. Bandhauer, T. P. Howard, Lee Middleton and Floyd Blevins was ap- pointed.
 This committee was given full power to act in any way thought best for the disposition of the banquet problem.
 According to reports made to Chair man Pat Rose of the general committee last night, by members who attended the meeting of the territorial central committee in Phoenix, big delegation from other parts of the territory wip be here at the time of MT. BryauM visit.
 It is expected that an unusually large delegation will come from the val ley to hear the lecture of the great commoner.
 It is probable that quite little work will be done in committee today, the various committeeman to report back to the general committee Monday night.
 Monday night s session is called for ' o'clock and all committeeman are re. quested to be on hand at that time.

UNKNOWN BROTHER BUYING WH|SKEY
 FUR kEEGAN
Thought That Sam Clous Is Trying Another Bunco
 Game in East

" A man claiming to be your brother Sam is here to buy carload of whisky, Is he authorizedl"
 Such was the rather startling tele- gram received by J. J. Keegan yester. day, from Ferdinand Westheimer 6 Sons, of Cincinnati.
 Keegan was surprised at the fact that he had discovered brother whom he had never heard of before and also and also that some one was using his name in q business deal which was nos on the square.
 His natural inference was that thc man who represented himself to be "Sam Keegan" was Sam Clous, who figured in several mythical mining deals in this city several months ago and left town suddenly, only to be To- cated in several cities in the east by rather unsavory reports which found tneIr way to this city.
 As the result, he wired a description of Clous, cancelled the order, and gave additional information regarding the Clous' actions during the past few months.
 ''I am satisfied that the man who i' trying to pass himself off as my brothel is none other than Sam Clous," said Keegan yesterday. He probably gave an order tor the whiskey in order tC work bunko game of some sort oT the liquor dealers. v
