an active part and were as much in terested in the result as the men.
 Everything about the polls was safe column. Both sides expressed their confidence in coming out vic torious, but the packers of the Citizens ticket were not willing to risk much money on their judgment, although they ucceeded in putting up quite large sum of money when the Peo- ples' supporters declared themselves in favor of covering all bets that five of their candidates would win.
 When the polls closed at o'clock large crowd gathered at the city hall to witness the count The first eight ballots were straight ones for the Peoples ticket and when the count reached seventy the Peoples ticket  was leading about two to one. A lit tie later the Citizens ticket took a squirt and for time the count was neck and neck. The last batch of ballots were most straight ones and the final result showed that six out of the seven candidates on the Peoples ticket were elected and one on the Citizens ticket.
 Never before at any election were as many proportionate straight tickets voted. There were 147 for the Peo- ples' ticket and l32 for the Citizens ticket, with 42 split tickets.

 Notwithstanding the fact that there was a steady downpour of rain all day, the interest in the contest was at white heat and the friends of both tickets work from early until late in the hope of gaining a little strength for their favorites. But the lines had been pretty closely drawn and but few votes were changed during the day W1th resignation of 349, there were 322 ballots cast The diff ference can be accounted for from the fact that number of people who had registered were not now living in the city limits and several illegal voters were not allowed to vote.

The war will end, they blithely sing,
AS though the forces thus unpent
Could In so brief a time be spent;
AS though, they marked not all who
strive
And all who witness, all alive
And set a seal upon the morn
OF generations yet unborn.
Nay, when thousand years have fled
And all forgotten are the dead,
If one who passed in battle hate
Still holds that thought beyond the
gate,
Still holds that lust, beyond the dawn
The war will still be raging on.
The war will end, they blithely sing,
Next fall, next winter or next spring

The Changing Sky

One of the most surprising results
of the cross motion of the fixed stars,
as projected on the background of the
sky, is the gradual falling to pieces of
the familiar consultations. The stars
are moving in all sorts of directions,
some faster and some slower, and the
inevitable consequence must be that in
few centuries the whole face of the
heavens will be SO changed that if we
could come back again to our earthly
life we should not recognize them. or
course very long period of time will
be required to produce very great
transformation.
