good and is all that can be provided
so remote from city water works
system and fire department. We wish
to commend the board of supervisors
and superintendent upon the condi.
ton and management of the Home
and Farm.
We have made an examination of
the city Jail of the city of Keokuk
and find that 1t is kept in as good
condition as is possible under the

No Corruption.
Pursuant to recommendation made
by the board which heard the contest
for the Office OF recorder, subsequent
to the last general election, We have
made an investigation in relation to
the conduct of said election. We have
examined large number of wit
nesses in relation thereto and have al.
so made a recount of the ballots IN
two precincts where there was CON.
plant of regularities.. We found dis
crepancies between the count which
we made and the official count Some
of those discrepancies are very slight
and might naturally occur in the de
termination of what ballots should be
rejected, Other discrepancies were
quite large and while we have made
every effort to discoved whether they
they We're due to corruption, we have
been unable to find any evidence
whatever of any criminal act or in,
territorial wrong doing. We believe
that ii is possible to account for
them by the methods of counting
which we refer to below.
We desire to condemn the practices
which We find prevailing in some
precincts. of the election board divid
ing itself into divisions and each divi
sion counting different sets of bal
lots. BY this method it is possible
that the tally for certain pile of bal
lots may be either omitted from the
count entirely, or else counted twice
We believe that each ballot should be
examined and counted by the Judges
and the tally of the count kept stimuli
taneously by the two clerks. There
is no check on the count when one
clerk keeps the tally for one set OF
ballots and the other clerk tallies the
count OF another set We believe
that the method we suggest is the
one contemplated by law, and while

that it will cost the user nothing IL it
does not completely relieve catarrh,
it is only reasonable that people

claim to practical test when we
take all the risk. These are facts
which We want the people to sub
stantiate. We want them to try Rex
all Mucu-Tone, medicine prepared
from prescription Of physician
with whom catarrh was a specially.
and who has record of thirty years
of enviable success to his record.
We receive more good reports
about Rexall Mucu-Tone than we dc
of all other catarrh remedies sold in
our store, and If more people only
knew what thoroughly dependable
remedy Rexall Mucu-Tone is, il
would be the only catarrh remedy we
would have any demand for.
Rexall Mucu-Tone is quickly absorb
ed and by its therapeutic effect tends
to disinfect and cleanse the entire
mucous membraneous tract, to de
stroy and remove the parasites which
iniure the membraneous tissues, to
sootbe the irritation and heal the sore

AS WELL AS ATHLETICS
TBy X. II. s Student


Sometime about the middle of April.
or perhaps little later. there is ex-
pected to be pulled Off under the aus
pices of the Keohi Debating society
OF the local high school, the first an
nual declamatory contest BY this
plan it is thought not only to de-
yelope school that holds an import
ant place in athletics but one that
will do itself justice when it comes 10
debating or public speaking. Debat-
ing and forensic work in various high
schools over the country is now be-
ginning to rank in Importance with
athletics. In this contest the entries
are either to deliver original ora.
tions or else some we'll chosen selec-
tons that are generally given at meet
ings of the sort.
This contest Is the first ever at
tempted since the organization of the
local debating society and should
prove not only Very interesting and
instructive but give to debating and
defamation a much needed stimulus.
In the contest are already entered
some seven or eight of the best de-
Chalmers in the school and undoubted-
ly the initial attempt will be very
successful
DR.. Reid, principal of the school,
Miss Pitman, head OF instruction in
English, and President Macarthur of
the Keohi society, are all working
with one aim in view-to establish an
annual declamatory contest at the
local high school which might be
looked forward to from year to year.
1t is planned that gold, silver, and
bronze medals, specially designed, will
be given to winners of first, second
and third places respectively.

Poor Clerical Men.


We also wish to condemn the prac-
tice, which we find exists in some
precincts of keeping the tally during
the count of the ballots upon ioosa
sheets OF paper, and copying such tai
ly into the poll books after the count
is completed. This method also gives
opportunity for serious mistakes to
occur We believe that the original
tally should be kept on the tally
sheets provided in the poll-books..
We find that in number of pre-.
clncts men who are comparatively un.
accustomed to clerical work are com.
PEELED to keep at such work for per.
iods of time as high as twenty-four
hours or more. practically without in.
terruption, and it is but natural that
mistakes should occur under these
circumstances.
We would recommend that the 2nd
and 9th Precincts in jackson town.
ship. inside the city Of Keokuk. should
be divided into two precincts each,
If the proper authorities upon consid-
GRAFTON deem such action advisable.
The vote in these precincts is so
heavy that it appears to us that it
can be polled with less confusion. and
more accurately canyassed, if the
precincts are divided.
We have made as thorough an in
vestigation of the conduct of said
election as possible and while there
were serious discrepancies in the re-
turns in some precincts we have
been unable to find any evidence oil
any intentional or criminal miscon.
duct. We may also state that we
have found no inaccuracies which
would affect the final result of the
election. We have also investigated
certain rumors of corruption in the
campaign preceding the said election
and we have been unable to trace
such rumors to any definite source or
to find any evidence whatsoever of
such corruption.
Although our Investigation has con
sumed considerable time and has
been attended with expense, we trust
that it will not be without good re-
suits.
We desire to thank Your Honor, as
we'll as the other officials of the
court, for the uniform courtesy when
has been extended to us during our
session
Having completed our labors, we re.
specially ask that we be discharged

Failing to find that corruption exist
ed among the judges and clerks OF the
second and sixth wards during the
last election, but finding that there
had been many discrepancies in the
count believed to be due to incompe-
tent clerks, a poor clerical system,
and too heavy vote in these wards
to be readily handled, the grand jury
In its final report made today, white.
washed the judges and clerks who
have been under fire and recon-
mended that these wards be divided
into two wards each. The report was
made at ten O'Clock this morning
and Is probably the most noteworthy
document of its kind the grand jury
here has returned for several years.
The body made an exhaustive ex-
animation Of ward methods here, and
severely arraigned the system. 1t says
that in the two big wards men unac-
customed to clerical work labor for
twenty-four hours without Interrupt
ton and discrepancies can hardly be
averted. The practice OF dividing the
election board is condemned.
The report may bring about a
change in the methods now in vogue
Superintendent Robert Hart and
his wife of the Lee County home are
praised for the manner in which the
institution is being conducted. The
county Jail is held to be in good or
