Judge I. VI. Olsen of New Ulm
today filed decision I'm the con
tested election case in Redwood
county. IL will be remembered
that at the recent county option
election in Redwood county the
result was announced by the can
vassing board as 1899 votes hav-
ing been cast for the drys and
1889 for the vets. The vets
started an appeal, in order to try
to change the result, claiming
that some of the dry votes were
illegal.
Judge Olsen finds that a total
of 1896 votes were legally cast
i'm the county at the election. The
majority for the drys is reduced
from ten to two, so the county
still remains dry. Among the
eight dry votes knocked out one
was found to be a blank and sew
en- defective and illegal, accord
ing to the Judge One vote was
found to have been cast by n
man who was found not to be a
legal voter. One man was found
to have disclosed in the voting
booth to another person how he
intended to vote, which is con-
trary to law. Five ballots were
found which could be identified
by voters, whose names were
written on the ballots, which is
also contrary to law.

the call" systems OF the Chicago
Board of Trade were I'm violation OF
the Sherman law. according to the st.
Paul Farmers Equity Exchange. here
today. Officers expressed themselves
quite freely about the "call systems"
held unlawful.
Calls" are one of the bi-products
OF the gambling of the boards Of
trades, with the interests OF producers
and consumers of grain, say Equity
officials. According to its system,
/ members of the board OF trade meet
following the close OF the market. and
decide upon what they shall offer
their country clients the next day.
/ Any member of the Board of Trade
| Offering the country constituents
more than the set amount is ousted
from membership, or heavily fined
Through this system Equity officials
, say. the board absolutely controls the
price of grains Although the board
forbids paying over certain maxi
, mum to producer. they have no limit
on the maximum they shall charge
the consumer.
Built upon the principles that any
consumer has the right To pay what
ever he pleases for grain, bought di-
rect from the farmer. the Equity is
ind always has been strongly on rec
ord against such breaches OF law and
righteousness. the Equity officials say
Equity officials. however. called at
tention TO the fact that tho call sys-
EN- had nothing 10 do with the more
familiar system of puts and calls,
which. of course. are barred from all
Equity deals, by the very fact that in

Chicago. September 10.-State fire
marshals from all over the country,
charged with the duty of attempting
TO reduce the immense fire waste of
their respective states. met here to-
day. Their organization. the Fire
Marshals' Association of North Amer
lea. has been holding annual conven-
and ideas, since 1905,
Walter II. Bennett of Quincy. H.,
fire marshal OF Illinois, I'm an address;
insisted that fire prevention can best
be taught In the public schools. You
talk fire prevention to business man
and he Immediately looks for the
Ethiopian in. the woodpile," said Mr..
Bennett. You go to a community
with your wise and helpful preventive
measures, and forthwith il is decreed
that there must be selfish motive
somewhere in the rear: or you are
met with the inquiry. How will that
benefit me?'
Fires on Increase.
"In an effort to reduce the ire
mendous fire waste we have appealed
to the people to be more careful, and
the fires increase: we have warned
them against their own folly, and the
losses grow greater. What then, can
we do?
"Og all the fruitful avenues of in
formation open to the child's mind.
there are none that appeal more d.
rectly or respond more quickly and
thoroughly than the things that he
can see or hear or feel about him.
For that reason I am now convinced
that the subject Of teaching fire pre-
vention in the schools Is most help
full and prolific one.
School Childrens Responsive.
II have had the very rare and
Pleasing opportunity during the past
year of talking to some OF the school
children of Illinois along this line. and
il can be truthfully said that the most
appreciative and the most responsive
audience that one can have are these
same school children: quick to catch
the point: ready to adopt your theory.
and anxious to try II out; withal the
most fruitful field of sowing imagin-,
ape. " jn9N -1og aIsl : % ssI

Man. which has enjoyed home rule
since ancient times. is in such an
economic quandry that a proposal TO
ask the imperial government that the
island be annexed to the County of
Lancashire was recently considered
in the house OF keys, the Legislative
assembly of the island. The member
who moved the resolution declared
that the island faced imminent star
walton and bankruptcy owing to the
bungling and incompetency OF the
present island administration
The motion for annexation was for
mally seconded and two other mem
bers were in favor Of II. but the prop
osltion was eventually lost and the
island continues for the present un-
der it's own government.
The Isle of Man is one of the fla
vorite resorts of thousands of Lam
cashire cotton workers and other
factory employees. and is practically
dependent on visitors. who pay a
small roll tax towards the upkeep of
piers and harbors. This year. how
ever. the fast steamers have been
withdrawn, and only one slow winter
boat makes a trip daily. Many no
tells and boarding houses are closed.
Three OF the finest hotels shelter only
one visitor each.
