pealed to Governor Dix to declare the
primary invalid and asked for Sec
ond primary. Samuel E. Koenig,
chairman Of the Republican county
committee, and William Barnes, Jr.,
chairman of the Republican state
committee, both express the opinion
that second primary will be illegal.
Leaders of the two factions of the
party cannot agree as to who is re.
sponsible for the failure to deliver Of
fetal ballots at many of the polling
places Tuesday. Chairman Duell in
sists that the Republican county or
ganization was responsible, while Mr..
Koenig declares that the board of
elections and the official printers had
complete charge of the printing and
distribution of the ballots.
Supreme Court Justice Benedict is
sued an order to show cause why the
result of the primary elections Of
Tuesday in the Fourteenth assembly
district of Brooklyn should not be set
aside and new election ordered.
1t is alleged that the election was
irregular and void because ballots
were not delivered within the time
provided by the new primary law and
in some cases not at all, so that many
voters were unable to cast their bal
lots.

New York, March q. - Statewide
Republican primaries for delegates to
the Republican national convention at
Chicago resulted in the election of
| organization candidates in practically
every district where there was a con-
test. Claims that at least SO of the
80 delegates will be for Taft and not
more than for Roosevelt were made
by State Chairman William Barnes,
Jr.. and John w. Hutchinson, director
of the eastern branch of the National
Taft bureau.
Chairman Charles Fl. Duell of tho
Roosevelt city committee declared
that the primaries characterized by
"a complete breakdown Of the election
machinery had been farce" lie as
serted that an effort would be made
by the Roosevelt committee to secure
IA real primary in this city with
full expression Of Republican opinion"
AS to the result Of the balloting,
Chairman Koenig said:
with 139 election districts missing,
President Taft in the primary contest
in Now York county received 29,4O2
aud Colonel Roosevelt 14.O1l.
This indicates that the president
has beaten Colonel Roosevelt in this
city by more than 2 to L. 1t was the
most remarkable victory ever achieved
by tho organization when we consider
that Colonel Roosevelt is a resident
OF New York. We hope now that the
primary contest is over and that all
Republicans will unite in support Of
the president"

Tho PRIMARIES opened at > p. m.
amidst great confusion. owing to the
delay in delivering the ballots in many
voting districts.
In one case ON tho West side, the
police officially reported that the bal
lots designed for use at is polling
! places did not arrive until about 6 D.
NJ. and in the three.hOur wait, some
carly-conlers left the polls. Tho polls
closed at 8 p. III. There was further
embarrassment because the green bal
lots for the Democratic primaries
were delivered to many places instead
of the Republican pink ones. 1t was
we'll into the evening before the mix
ups were Strengthened out.
President Britt Of the board of cleo
tons declared that the delay was due
largely to the eleventh hour litigation
which the Roosevelt committee began
over the position of delegates on the
ballots. resulting in court orders
which handicapped the printer.
1t was the first trial of the new
primary law and the working Of 1t
! had been looked to with special inter
est on this occasion. Ballots ranged
from 10 to IA feet long and so great
had been the haste to get them out
that III some cases they were in sec.
tions, there having been lack of time
to paste them together.

CHAPTER XIII


Morning found us near a forsaken
camp--a plateau on the mountain
side, smoke ascending from a dying
camp fire. but farther down some
burning embers gave an occasional
flare. Rounding some bushes we
discovered a person with his feet to-
ward the fire, his gun in his arms,
sound asleep. AS the panther hunts
its prey, Meany and Robinson sprang
upon the man, while Durbrow
grasped the gun. The fellow said he
belonged to Champ Ferguson's band.
While we were under the impression
this guerrilla chief operated mostly
in Kentucky, we well knew the
character of this set. He would give
us no satisfaction as to the way. Sui
len, morose, Independent We do
not wonder at this when we observe
the bushy eyebrows that grow down
the side of his face--a good indica-
ton of a mean skunk.
We did not want this white ele-
phant on our hands. His gun and
the six cartridges were certainly a
great boon to us, but not his carcass.
He had a fair opportunity to answer
our interrogations, but he gave
vague answers and voluble. We are
now suspicious. If we loose him, no
telling how soon he will have his
gang onto us. To take him along
impossible.
Up the mountain we climb again
on our plain trail; we hurry away.
Three days and nights have we wan
dered along. This wearisome wind
ing path, not a sign of friend or
foe, not a shot left to kill another
fowl. One, then the other drops by
the wayside. Ceaselessly we go back
and push and pull each other along.
First one, then another at times
would plead to be left to die, to be
relieved of this gnawing hunger, to
rest their worn and torn limbs for
all eternity. 1t was preferable to
suffering longer. The mind was be-
coming weak and flighty.
A few more hours of this misery
and we were done; the last thought
of a hope was fast leaving. 1t was
beyond the endurance of man.
Three days now without a morsel of
food had so preyed upon our system
and strength that we could not even
stand erect. 1t was the end.
AS we rounded up our little band
that night, seeing that every comrade
was present or accounted for, each
in his own way, according to his
teachings and belief, asked the Su-
preme Being of the Universe to take
them away from their sufferings.
Two became violent-and the strong
er in mind would keep them from
their intentions.
The first to awake from that last
sleep on the mountain was Lytell,
who, out away from us on a project
ing rock, was gesticulating in
frenzied way with hands toward
high heaven. For fear he would
jump off that high rock to destruc-
ton, Hagenbach crawled out to in
duce him to return and die together,
not suicide. Hagenbach could only

der him and consider 1t one of their
religious duties to remember the last
resting place of their old commander.
Every Memorial day the orator Sc
lected for the occasion speaks Of Gen
eral Logan's service to the old soldiers
and to the nation in founding the GER
emony. These meetings are held from
a rooted platform surrounded by pill
lars, after the style of a Greek tenn
pie. This platform is on slope just
above the tomb. A visit is then made
to the tomb itself, which is in the
form Of vault surrounded by low
box hedge and guarded by a cannon.
Frequently these services are under
the auspices of the Grand Army, but
the soldiers from the home always
have their part.
The home itself is unique, in that it
was in existence before the civil war.
1t is designed for members Of the reg
ular army and Is maintained by dona-
tions from them.

Options have been obtained on
many acres of land on both sides of
the Delaware river at Port Jeryis,
Milford, Barryyille, Narrowsburg,
Cochecton, along the Mongaup river
and the Callicoon Creek, which are
tributaries of the Delaware and the
well known ShOhola Falls, in Pike
county. In some instances the land
has been bought outright and the
result has been a big boom in land
prices and keen interest among land
owners.

ter plan only to supply the anthra-

would have the two biggest cities in
the country, excepting Chicago, as
their principal market. These cities
alone would consume an unlimited
amount of power and the distance
that it would have to be carried
wouldn't be much over seventy-tive
miles. In addition thereto there are
scores of towns and cities en- route,
which would afford vast opportuni-
ties. A charter will likely be OBJ
tanned in New York, New Jersey and
this state.
Several million dollars have al
ready been spent, it is said, and un-
limited cash is ready to push the
project forward. A dozen surveyors,
sent by the syndicate, are at Port
Jervis and have picked out a camp
site at the mouth OF the Mongaup
river. They will make surveys and

SOMETHING WORTH KNOWING.
Why We Are Never the Same After
Typhoid Fever.

The statement was made recently
that a man was never quite the
same after passing through a dis
ease caused by the poisons of germs.
This is especially true of typhoid
fever.
Such a statement does not neces-
sarily imply that the person who
has been through the course of the
fever and come out with all the in
ternal organs apparently uninjured,
is still to remain an invalid. No; it
means that there have been some
scars or inflamed tissues remaining
in the body, and while they may
never cause the slightest trouble, on
the other hand they must be cOnsid-

young persons much of this effect
may be outgrown If the child is al
