These gentlemen Mr. j. Samuel Price of Snow Hi and Mr.
Franklin Upshu of Berlin too well known in this county

Gentlemen: So many voters have re-
quested me to inform them of the reas-
ons why the certificate of nomination
of Mr.. William G. Kerbin for States
Attorney, and Messrs. Pruitt, Bur-
roughs and Gunby for County Commits
sioners of Worcester County, was re-
jected by the Supervisors of Elections,
that feel it my duty to give the public
the information desired, and thus to re-
lieve the Supervisors of any unjust GEN.
sure regarding the performance of their
duty in that respect. Upon the certifi-
cate being filed with the Supervisors,
they examined the signitures to the
certificate Tin the signing Of which |
had no concern). and found LESS than
200 of the 274 signatures had appended
their "place of business" to their names,
and, as that was ABSOLUTELY neces-
sary to have been done. the Supervisors
had no alternative but to refuse to rec
ognize it. AS soon as could get away
from Court, together with Mr.. Num-
ford. one of the signers, and Mr.. Price,
President of the Board Of Supervisors,
| made a thorough examination of the
certificate. and found the requisite num-
ber had not appended their ''place of
business" to their signatures, and for
that reason the certificate was void.
Mr.. Price gave every assistance to ex-
anime the certificate, and we so reported
to the candidates.
make this statement in justice to
the Supervisors, who followed the law.
whilst so large number of signers did
not. and so rendered their signature
void.
Respectfully.

Not many cases Of public interest
have been tried at this term Of Court.
When we went to press last week. the
case of an Iowa National Bank VS.. T.
Y. Franklin was before the Court. This
case was submitted to the Court with
out the intervention Of the jury. Ver-
dict for the defendant. John w. Sta
ton. ESQ.,, representated the defendant,
and John H. Handy, Esq. the plaintiff.
On Saturday the case Of William G..
Kerbin ct al. VS.. j. Samuel Price. ct
al. was argued. This was manda-
mus proceeding by which it was sought
to compel the Election Supervisors of
Worcester County to place the names
of the Independent Democratic candi-
dates on the official ballot.
The Election Supervisors, through
their attorney Franklin Upshur. ESQ.,,
demurred, and the demurrer was sus-
tanned and the petition dismissed. John
II. Handy, ESQ.,. represented the petion-
ers, and Upshur & Upshur the Election
Supervisors.
Probably the case this week which ex-
cited the most interest was that of the
State VS.. Tony and Philip Ceserini.
This.was a case where an eminently re-
spectacle white man. Mr.. Frank Ham,
mond, of Berlin. was alleged to have
assaulted by band of Italians, at Iron
shire. Tony Ceserini was found not
guilty, but Philip Ceserini was found
guilty Of common assault, his sentence
being held sub curia by the Court.
On Thursday the jurors were relieved
from futher attendance at Court until
Thursday. November 9th. The attention
of the Court is occupied today, friday
in hearing registration appeal casses.

SERVICE FOR MUTES
Texas Church Whose Members
Are All Deaf.
Crying Babies or Late Corners Do Not
Disturb This Congratulations
municants Are of All Creeds
and Foilowinss.

Fort Worth, Texas.-Sermons with
never a spoken word. congregational
singing without an audible note of
melody, public prayers in which there
is no sound, Sunday school teachers
whose lips are inarticulate. All these
are incidentals of the Sunday services
of a Fort Worth church.
The pastor is not disturbed by cry
ing babies, and the late corners do
their heels fall noisily on the uncar-
peted floor. The belfry that tops the
building is purely ornamental, for no
member OF this unique congregation
could hear any bell invented.
No church in the United States is
like it. 1t is the only church in the
whole country whose congregation Is
composed wholly of deaf mutes,
The sixty or more deaf mutes living
in Fort Worth organized the congrega'
ton, called the First Evangelical
church for the deaf, in 1907. The real
founder is the Rev. j. w. Michaels OF
Louisville, Ky, who Is still the pas
tor, although he can make only four
visits a year to his voiceless flock.
The building, a neat and substantial
structure, was built solely by deal
mutes. The pulpit was carved by the
Sunday school superintendent. G.. w
Sheppard, who is a skilled woodwork
man.
There Is no church debt. None of
the members is wealthy, and the con
gregatior has had a hard struggle
But it has won because the members
are very proud of having the only deal
mute church in the United States and
are correspondingly loyal.
The church is interdenominational
Creeds are sunk in the common In
trinity. In the roster Of 40 members
a half-dozen denominations are repre-
scented. The pastor is a Baptist, bu'

II DEER.
Hunters Will Be Permitted to Kill But
One Animal,

Deadwood-Deer hunters in the
Black Hills this year are not going to
be so plentiful as heretofore, and the
fieet-footed animal which had many
friends in the last legislature will be
afforded considerable protection this
fall. Heretofore it has been the law
that hunters could bag two deer, either
buck or doe, each year, for the small
sum of 81, provided they lived in the
state, and whenever there was a snow
fall in November the slaughter was
heavy. Now the hunter must take out
two licenses, a 81 gun license and a S.
deer license, and is permitted to kill
but one deer, a buck, each season. Nom
residents must pay SIS for the gun Ii
Cense and $25 for the deer license. The
deer season is from November l to
December l, and it is thought that the
new law will greatly reduce the num-
Der Of hunters and consequently the
number of deer killed.
