in the hunt for the murderer of little
Annie Poltera today are centered IN
seeking the owner of a blood stained

State Officials Are a Great
Success as Drummers
on the Road.
DEMAND EXCEEDS
SUPPLY THIS YEAR
Work on New Jute M.ll Is
Progressing Rapidly.
At the Prison.

According to present indications.
there VII be no danger in future
years of the convicts employed in the
|Jute mill at the state penitentiary
making more grain bags than can be
used, and unless all signs fail, the mill
hands will be kept busy Furnishing
bags with which to handle the enor-
nous crops Of the state. Such great
success has been met with by the
board of control in selling sacks made
at the state prison to farmers at a
flat rate at the penitentiary and max
ing the delivery, that it is now pro-
posed to carry out the plan in the
future. The 'drummers" sent out by
the state have worked up consider
able trade and now the board of con-
troll intends to follow the market
closely to buy large quantities of
jute in the market this fall
1t is also proposed to make sacks
of various qualities as the farmers
complain that the poorer grades
stretch and hold more grain. 1t is
now believed that every bag made by
convict labor can be disposed Of with
out trouble. The demand for bags is
growing constantly land while the
board of control found that it had a
large number Of surplus sacks on
hand this spring, this condition is not
likely to be repeated in the future.
Work on the new jute mill is pro-
gresing rapidly, and it is thought that
it will be ready for business early this
fall The capacity of the institution
will be many times greater than that
of the present establishment at the
prison. and it is thought likely the in
creased demand for grain bags will
be but an added result of the vast
improvement being made at the prison
mandatory.

ton of names" calls for increased Ia
Dor with the printing of each 100 or
200 ballots.
Section 13 of the primary law now
provides: I'm printing each set of
ballots for the several counties (pre-
cincts) the positions of the names of
candidates shall be changed in each
office division as many times as there
are candidates in the office division In
which there are the most names. AS
nearly as possible an equal number OF
ballots shall be printed after eacn
change. In making the change of po-
sition. the printer shall take the line
of type at the head of each office
division and place it at the bottom or
the division, and shove up the column
so that the name that before was
second shall be first after the change.
After the ballots are printed they
shall be kept in separate piles, one
pile for each change of position, ana
shall then be gathered by taking one
from each pile; the intention being
that every other ballot IN such pie
shall have the names in different
position. There shall be no printing
upon the back of the ballots or any
marks to distinguish them"
