Work in making up the county

and from the figures furnished by the
county clerks the final official totals
on which the nomination will be based
will be made. AS soon as this work
is out of the way the official totals on
county candidates will be computed
and reported, and certificates of
nomination will be issued.
The work has been retarded on ac-
count of so ballots of absent voters
that came in and had to be tailed
in the various precincts where the alb
sent men hold their residence. Seven
of the number were found to be in
valid, the voters having failed to reg
lister. The votes had to be checked
with the books of the commissioner
of elections to be sure that each vot-
er was entitled to a ballot, and to be
sure that no one voted more than
once. Then the poll books were
opened and the entries made. The re-
suit, of course, changed the totals ac-
corded nearly every candidate, and
made a good deal of work. The
votes, however, did not come any
where near changing any of the re-
suits.

Heavy Demand for Hunters License

From present prospects, the sale of
hunting licenses this year will exceed
the sale last year, which was the rec
ord in this county. Last year a total
of 2,356 licenses was issued. This
year the demand has been more than
ordinarily heavy so far.
Hunters who purchase permits to
hunt early in the season get the bene-
fit of a longer season than those who
wait until later. The licenses are
good only until July 1, next year. 1t
makes no difference whether they are
purchased the first of July. or not I'M
til next June. So the man who buys
his license early gets the benefit of
the entire season, and has his license
in case he might want it at any time.

Journal Wednesday afternoon, the
plan is to work a bill through congress
which will provide for the retention
of nine of the eighteen agencies, in
Guiding the one in Topeka.
A. w. Smith, local pension agent, re-
ceived this news from Senator Curtis.
The members of the house have in
sisted that seventeen of the eighteen
agencies be abolished December 81. In
that event. all of the work would be
done in the pension agency office in
Washington and not in the pension
bureau as was inferred. The house

upon by the senate "Wednesday, but II
is believed that it will. If the amend

will be passed this week and the sew

to complete the payment of the Topeka
office.
Mr.. Smith believes that Senator
Curtis and his supporters will be sue
cessful in securing the passage OF the
measure which will provide Tor the re-
tention of nine agencies.
Senator Curtis is the best friend the
old soldiers ever had in congress-, Sa1d
Pension Agent Smith. 81 believe that
with the aid of his friends he will be
successful in securing the passage or
the bill for the retention of half OF the
agencies. He discussed this while IN
Topeka before the primary election. In
this discussion he expressed a regret
that the boys could not receive their
quarterly allowance at the usual time
| but asserted that everything possible
had been done by the members of the
senate to prevent the delay and the
| adjustment of the agencies at the
! same time.
Curtis Predicted Compromise.
ct expected the senate to take TINS
action and was informed by Senator
| Curtis that this amendment had been
agreed to by the senate. This will give
! them two months the next session to
secure the passage of the bill retaining

does not expire until March f. He Will
have ample time to secure the enact
nent of the proposed measure and
think he will be successful.

pension office will go to Washington

effort to learn the whereabouts OF the

slightest result. nor did Keiths inves,
legations reveal the gambler at any OF
his accustomed resorts. while Scott
had apparently made complete get

served TO convince him as to the truth
of his first suspicious: Scott might
