a cross in the circle at the head Of the
ballot and then vote for one candidate for
Judge on another ticket.
Without having given the matter any
study the legal department OF the state
said off hand II would appear that the party
after whose name the mark was made
would receive the vote and the candidates
on the other ticket for the same office
would not receive the vote.
Fof instance, II a democrat should make
a cross in the democratic circle at the head
of the ballot and then vote for one Of the
candidates on the republican ticket for
Judge, IL is the belief Of the legal depart
ment that the vote would count for the one
republican candidate for Judge and for all
the candidates on the democratic ticket
except the three judges. Or the election
board might throw out the ballot entirely,
though It would be an injustice to the can
didate after whose name a cross has been
made, but no more so than to two of the
judicial candidates on the other ticket, for
each person is entitled to vote for three
candidates for Judge. So the legal depart
ment said for the voter to be on the safe
side IL he is going to scratch his ticket
and make his cross after the three candi-
dates he desires to vote for, after marking
his circle at the head OF the ticket.
Chairman Hayward in the meantime said
the only way to be sure OF voting the ticket
correctly is to put a cross after the word
republican at the head of the ballot and
do nothing else.
Quarantine IL Necessary.
Inasmuch as some articles have been APP
pearing in the public press to the effect
that the State Board of Health is not much
concerned over the quarantine against
spinal meningitis, State Health Inspector
Wilson desires it to be known that 1t is
very important that every case be quaran-
tined. Spinal meningitis" said the health
inspector, lis contagious according to au-
thoritles and for that reason a rigid quar-
antine must be enforced" DIR. Wilson be-
lieves more cases have occurred in the state
than have been reported to him. as physi-
clans have said there we're fully 600 cases
in York and Polk counties, though only 200
cases all told have been reported to the
State Board OF Health.

II they desired to go around they could
wait until an usher was not busy.
Newton was almost struck dumb by the
TRADE from his chief, and the party being
friends Of his made his humiliation harder
to bear. The persons composing the party
waited a few moments and then left the
asylum. two OF them incidentally being EN-.
ployes of the auditors office. Whether the
superintendent feared Newton would show
too much to the visitors he did not say
