about a dozen women cast ballots for

members of the board of education

office are printed on ballots separate
from the other city offices.
Sample ballots were posted Tues
day in various places about the city.
When voter steps into a booth on
town meeting day to express his
choice OF the various candidates for

square containing the names Of the

a list of aspirants for ward offices
and another slip about six inches

President Markham Of Illinois Gen.
trail Finds Brother in 5rlekIayer.
Chicago, March 3.--After search
of nearly half a century, President
Charles T. Markham of the Illinois
Central railroad, has found his elder
brothr, John T. Markham, In Hop
kinsyille, Ky.
John T. Markham is y years old,
bricklayer and in reduced clrcum-
stances, while President Markham is
affiuent and influential. The broth
ers were separated when the Civil
War broke out, Charles T. Markham
was then a baby. His brother enlist
ed in the confederate army. Charles
T. Markham's step-father took him
North When the war was over,
John T. Markham settled in Hopkins
vile, where he has remained ever
since.
Recently, after apparently fruitless
years of search, agents Of President
Markham got a clue that led them to
Hopkinsville. There they found the
old man, poor and feeble, still earn
ing meagre living as bricklayer.
President Markham was called on
the long distance telephone and the
brothers talked together. John 7.
Markham has now gone to Chicago,
where his brother will make him
I comfortable for the rest of his life.
