.COuNTY'S TOTAL VOTE
$3.50 Ballots Are Counted and 157
Are Thrown Out.

Mahaska county at the election of
November ) cast total of $685. votes
in thirty-one precincts. OF this num-
her there were l57 votes not counted
in the results on account of being
spoiled or disputed for some question
as to legality In West Harrison
township, for Instance, thirty-one
ballots were thrown oui because the
voter had marked cross by the side
of the presidential candidates name
at the top of the ticket when no
square for the cross was provided, In
the opinion OF the election board this
was clear violation of the law and
the intent of the voter was not re-
garded as of sufficient weight to have
the ballot considered In the make mp
OF the township returns. In other
precincts this slight error in the
marking of the ballot was disregard
ed. There were, in all probability
several hundred ballots in the county
similarly marked. 1t so happened
that all of the votes thrown out from
the results in West Harrison were
straight democratic ballots.
The record of the total number OF
ballots used and the number of those
not considered is given below:

Investigating Committee Spends
Ono Week In Careful And
Exhaustive Study OF
All State Funds.

An echo Of the recent vicious sena.
torial campaign was heard at Jackson
during the past week when the inves
tigatinR committee appointed By the
legislature presented It's comprehen-
sive report relative to the handling OF
public moneys by James x. Varda-
man while he was governor OF the
state. The handling Of these funds
formed the basis OF cruel and vicious
charges being brought against Varda.
man by the opposition, notwitbstand-
log the fact that a previous legisla-
ture had given the ex-governor clean
bill OF health.
When the present legislature was
organized Senator elect Vardaman re-
quested full and free examination
OF the handling OF the public funds
by himself. The committee was ap-
pointed for that purpose, and the
meetings and Investigations were 10

tising widely for those who may have
known anything to appear before it
and give testimony. The New Or

In week over the books and accounts
OF former Governor James X. Varda-
man, Irregularities being charged In
the expenditure OF certain funds by
the former governor, has made a re-
port finding all the charges unfound-

by the Mississippi legislature by an
overwhelming vote.
The report OF the committee was an
exhaustive one, every fund handled
by the former governor having been
carefully investigated and every thing
found all right.
What we deem as the most import.
ant feature OF the entire investiga-

age, making entry through window,
and both were seen by their victim as
they left the premises. The pastor is
unable to determine whether the
thieves are white men or negroes.
As they left the place, the pastor
nred one shot from life at one of
the men and threw heavy weight at
the other. Both escaped, but on
Tuesday morning blood was found on
the walk where one OF the men was
when the shot was fred. 1t Is be-
lieved that the bullet found It's mark.
Pastor Seidler was just completing
his preparations for his approaching
marriage. The lower floor had been
re-furnished and some re- painting had
been done. When he retired upstairs

While no trace OF the robbers has
been reported as found, a bat was
found floating 10 the sound near the
