LICENSE in COURT
ABERDEEN VOTE CASE IN COURT
AND BALLOTS COUNTED.

Aberdeen, May 26.-The contest
proceedings over the license question
are proceeding in state circuit court.
The recount of the ballots has been
completed and the final result de-
ponds upon Judge Bouck's decision
regarding the ballots over which dis
putes have arisen. The original cleo
ton returns made the vote a tie,
there being EAST 1895 votes for Ii
cense and 1885 votes against Ii
cense. This defeated the license
proposition, as the law requires that
there must be a majority for license.
The saloon men contested on the
ground that a number of license
votes were thrown out for one reason
or another.
The recount of the ballots in court
shows that a total of 2,740 ballots
We're cast on the license proposition.
OF these there are 1,245 for license
which are undisputed, and 1881
against license which are ~undisputed.
Then there are Ill ballots voted for
license which the attorneys for the
opponents to license claim should not
be counted, on account of various ir-
r~egularities, such as the ballot not
being marked In the right place, the
ballot not bearing the official stamp.
or some other irregularity. Similar
ly, there are los ballots which were
cast against license to which the at
torneys for the liquor dealers object
on the ground of irregularity. In
addition, there were twenty-five
blank or spoiled ballots which IAN
not be counted for either side.
If the court should admit all the
disputed ballots on both sides, the
vote for license would stand, 1856,
while the vote against would stand,
1859, giving a majority of three
against license. Dozens of objections
have been made on both sides against
the counting of the dispdted ballots
and the matter win be decided by the
court as the contest proceeds. 4f al
the disputed ballots should be thrown
out on both sides, the no license side
would have a majority of six. Both
sides express confidence as to the
eventual outcome of the contest, and

A Bleak Winter.

The hottest summer weather ever
recorded has been followed by the cold.
est winter, not that the thermometer
has reached the lowest point, but the
weather has been more continuously
could and the fuel bills have been the
largest. One prairie farmer expressed
it we'll when he said his stock last year
ate up $500 worth Of hay and this year
$500 worth, Weather bureaus in
Memphis and New Orleans have re-
ported this week that it has been the
coolest March recorded in forty years.
The staple crops have escaped alto
gether, for they are either not planted
or not yet up to be injured by the rec.
ent rrosts The cold weather had de-
layed farm work or had so held back
crops that they had not reached a con-
dition where the unreasonable weather
of the last few days could do them very
great harm, 1t is stated that the
peach and plum crops have been hurt,
but they are of minor Importance.
While precipitation has been enough
to make all farming operations back
ward except on tiled lands, the rain
fall is really more than $50 less than
normal for the first three months of
this year and 1850 inches short for
19l4-15. DeVoe and other weather
prognosticators have predicted a wet
summer, and if a normal rainfall is
reached their predictions will come
true.
Below is the rainfall for the past ff-
teen months, which was kindly furn-
ished us by Weather Clerk Carleton.
1t will be we'll to cut this out and pre-
serve for future reference.
