South Pacific which was settled by

more than a hundred are females. All
Of the islanders are descendants of
the mutineers of the ship Bounty,
who in 1890 captured the vessel kill

AMERICAN EXPRESS
HAS UPTOWN OFFICE

The up town office of the Amerr-

in the Elk's building at 120 East
Court street. \ three years lease was
signed up last evening and Local
Manager Parlett says the building
will be occupied just as soon as pos
sible.
This is the room formerly occu-
pied by the local store of the Sherman
Clay Music company and will make
ideal quarters for the express COM
pany. 1t has rear entrance and the
size of the room will make it possible
for Route Agent Longwell to have his
headquarters there. Manager Par.
lett also stated this morning that the
counter would be placed a consider
able distance from the door so as TO
have large lobby In front The
greatest trouble with the present
quarters comes from the fact that
when two or three patrons are in the
office it is very inconvenieut for any
one else TO get in.

some Did Not Vote.
owing to misunderstanding of the
election laws and misleading reports
that were circulated by enemies of
the high school move some business
-nen failed to get to the polls. During
the forenoon it was industriously re-
ported that only freeholders had a
right to vote in the election and some
merchants and other business men
were deceived into believing this to be
the case. Under the law any local
taxpayer may vote and a man or wo-
man may vote if a stockholder in a
Local taYPaying corporation or if a
partner in a firm paying taxes. This
even though. their own names might
rot appear on the local assessment
rolls.
owing to the fact that the ballot
Used is very short, merely being a Yes
and No ballot, the voting proceeded
very rapidly and the counting will all
so proceed with speed.
Three Hundred at 2:30.
Nearly 800 votes had been cast at
2:SO and at that time the room was
full Of taxpayers waiting a chance to
cast their ballot. The number Of wo-
men in the crowd was noticeable. 1t

clarod ct S.45 that the bonds would
