BuLGAR1ANs VICTORIOUS.

Sofia, Oct. 81, After two days fight
ing the Bulgarian army has gained 6
complete victory over the principal
Turkish forces. The Turks have re-
treated in disorder. The town OF
Luleburgas has been taken.
Public attention has been centeret
in the operations around Adrianople
and the movements of the Bulgarians
against Luleburgas.
The town is an important point in
the Turkish second line of defense.
which stretches from the westward
to Demotica.
It's capture would indicate that this
second line has been broken.
Should this be the case, the Turks
probably would retreat to Tchorlu
where they possibly might make e
stand.

! WORD TO THE VOTERS.

The big blanket ticket will make
it difficult matter for many voters
to vote for or against all the amend
ments within the limited time of
three minutes, unless Their MINDS are
made up before they enter the booth.
therefore it is best to pick cut those
amendments that it is particularly
desired should be passed, vote FOR"
them and then stamp AGAINST"
for all the rest The following num-
bered amendments we believe should
be voted for, and can easily be pick
ed out by the numbers: 8, 8, 8:
IL. IS, IA, Is, 16. IL, Is, 10.
It should be remembered that when
you do not wish to vote ROT an
amendment you should vote against
it. Do not leave it blank.
