An English Election Trick.

Corruption at elections In England
took many curious forms in olden days
but there have been few more ingen
ious plans for securing the election OF
the desired candidate than that prac.
ticed at Seaford In 1890. 1t was doubt.
full which way the polling would 81
unless receiving officer could be
found willing to pass some twenty-six
persons who still wanted seventeen
days to complete the six months resi-
dence required by law. Accordingly
1t was arranged that the candidate
should insist on all the six oaths de-
manded by statute being administered
to each voter individually, and this,
together with the time spent in deal
ing with every frivolous objection rails
ed by counsel. made it impossible to
poll more than four votes a day, so
that the twenty-six where duly quail
fed by the time their turn came to
vote.

their habits. Even the tramp has his.

he pretended to fix a monocle m his

Arrested by Telephone

The Roberts county athorities have a
very easy and economical method OF
landing law-breakers if we are tojudge
from an incident which occurred in that
county last week. Saturday Charley
Anderson. of Ortley, received tele-
phone message from the sheriff at Sis
seton informing him that he was under
arrest for shooting prairie chickens.
Charley replied that he had not gazed
upon a festive prairie hen for many
moons, but he would consider himself
under arrest, and asked the sheriff if
he should confne himself in the Ortley
Jail. The sheriff replied that all it was
necessary for him to do was to come to
Sisseton Monday for hearing.
On Monday Mr.. Anderson, accom-
panied by Attorney Woodwork, of this
city, went to Sisseton, but the hearing
of the case was postponed until today.
