City's Good Record.
This city has been particularly free
from election frauds in previous con-
tests. At each of the previous city
elections. a fund has been raised for
the prosecution of persons who at
tempt to vote illegally, or e~ndeavored
to secure others to vote illegally. The
fact that the money thus raised, was
never drawn upon, speaks we'll for
Richmond. The subscribers to the
fund are as safe from being called up
on to spend their money as are others
who were not called upon to contribute.
The honest election fund meets with
the entire approval Of the various an
didates and especially DR.. w. w. Zim-
norman, the republican nominee, and
Pettis A. Reid. the democratic nomi-
nee for mayor.

B0ni And Princess Anna Are
Deprived of Their Three Sons

Paris, Oct. 29.-The three delicate
children of Anna Gould. now the Prin-
de Sagan, and Count Boni Castel-
lane, her first husband. in the nobility,
must no longer remain in the custody
of either the American princess or her
divorced spouse. No of deli
cate health are to prevent the offspring
of the disastrous marriage from being
placed in school under the direct guar
dianship of an officer of the courts.
This was decided by the court which
has had under Amusement the case OF
the Count de Castellane against his for
mer wife, growing out of the differ
ences a. to how their two eldest sons
should be educated.
BY h decision. a former verdict,
which ordered the children placed in
the Lycee of Janson, is enforced to the
letter and the parents are to have but
little to say about the education Of the
children in the future.
The court rebuked both the count
and the princess for their disagree
ment in the matter of schooling their
children and ordered the judgment OF
May p last. put into Immediate effect.
This earlier Judgment provided that.
In the event of a disagreement in the
matter between the parents. the boys
be sent as resident pupils to the Lycee
Of Janson, where the court said they
would be certain to find proper medic
al attention.

SWISS TO FORM NEW COLONY
Twenty-nlns Thousand Buy Immense
Tract Of Land in Washington.

Seattle, Wash, Feb. 1.-The first
Shipload of colony of $4,000 Swiss
has just arrived in Mason county.
Land is being assigned from an i'm
mense tract purchased by a Berne
capitalist. 1t is said that by April sew
eral shiploads will have arrived. The
colonists bring fifteen shiploads of
blooded cattle and other live stock.
The purchase of tract of 100000
acres of land in Mason, Clallam and
Jefferson counties was completed here
a few weeks ago by the final payment
OF over $7,OO0,0OO.
George NJ Obradovich has been for
seven years "cruising' the land, work
ing secretly His report to the Berne
syndicate covered 345 typewriter
pages, and was accompanied by scores
of bottles of water and soil together
with numerous specimens of rock and
wood. His report was so satisfactory
that he was ordered to buy all the
land for sale at any price.
The plan of the colony is similar to
the Russian settlements in California
and the Dakotas. Land will be given
to each married man and enough cat.
tie to stock it. He will be furnished
implements, seeds, and other supplies.
Each year he will pay to the synd1-
cate certain per cent of his crop un-
til such time as he will have paid for
the purchase.

NEW IOWA PRIMARY LAW.
Bill introduced That Would RevoIu.

Des Moines, a., Jan. pa bill was
introduced to-day in the legislature
which will revolutionize primary cleo
tons in Iowa. It proposes a dozen
amendments to the present primary
law. The most important change is in
regard to the rotation of names and
their sequence on the ballots of the
respective parties. Starting with the
names arranged in alphabetical order,
100 ballots shall be printed. Then the
name at the top of each list shall be
changed to the bottom and another
100 ballots printed, and so on. The
system in use has been bitterly as
sailed.
The present primary law provides
that the vote on the candidate for
United States senator shall be re-
garded as an expression of sentiment,
but the new bill makes it party NOM

Republican Senator'S Accept Aldrich's
Compromise Measure on Re-Enlist-

Washington, JAM 30.-A plan for
harmonizing the views of all Repub-
ican senators who have been at va
rance on the re-enlistment of the ne
gro soldiers of the Twenty-ffth regi-
ment who were discharged on account
of the Brownsville ARRAY, was laid be-
fore the senate yesterday by Senator
Aldrich and accepted by advocates of
other measures pending before the sen

others, and with Senators Culberson
and McLaurin as their spokesman, re-
fused to vote on the bill at any def
mite time. ,-.-, .. =

pointment to make q final report and
from time to time to make partial re-
ports as to non-commissioned oficers
and men of companies B. c and d, who
they find to be qualified for re-enlist-
ment. 1t provides that these re-enlist-
ments shall be. considered, as having
been made Immediately after the dis
charge of the men, who are to be en-
titled to pay allowances and other

Warren, as chairman of the committee
on military affairs, and by Senator
Warner, who has bill of his own.
