WADE THRU VOTES
County Board of CanvaSsers
Worrying Over Ballots.
Badly Blotted Tally Sheets
Before Election Board.


The county board of canvasscrs is
still wading through the votes cast at
Tuesdays election. At noon there were
still ten precinct returns to canvass.
That will just about constitute a full
half days work. After the vote has
been canvassed it will be necessary to
foot the column over which the name
of each candidate appears.
Despite the condition of some of the
tally sheets there has been little
change in figures to date. In one pre-
cinct the board added five votes to
Hugh Larimer, successful candidate
for sheriff, and today the board took
five away from him in another pre-
cinct. He has broken even to date
He and J. e. Wilson, second man in
the sheriff's fight, have either been
present or had representatives pres
ent, during all the counting,
Another batch of badly blotted tally
sheets was opened up today but the
majority are legible.

THIS WOMAN HAD BUGS, BUT SHE 49,
COULDN'T MAKE HER MEANING CLEAR

ConneIlsville, Pa, Aug. 5.--(Spec-
ial. IA local editor who modestly
withholds his name, has resigned his
post at Delphic oracle and general
informant after giving excellent SER
vice in these capacities for many
years. He had achieved among the
villagers and natives hereabout the
regard and esteem due one who sits
upon the proud summit of human
knowledge. He knew everything.
That is. he did until few days ago,
when occurred the regrettable incident
about to be related.
1t should be known before going
further that very often in the course
of one afternoon this good man would
reply correctly to a volley of questions
of so diverse and intricate a nature as
to dismay many scholars and men of
learning whose names now adorr the
unfading pages of antiquity Lord Ba-
con, for example, is still thought to
have been a wise little guy. It's likely
that Francis would have hemmed and
hawed If obliged to settle bets as did
the modest local editor.
He told in one afternoon the bat
ting average of Scrappy Bill Joyce
the last year he played with the old
Senators. the population of Oswego,
the name of an African cannibal tribe
that never sneezes, why Arctic birds
like to keep their eggs on ice, how to
resuscitate heat victims by vibration,
and gave a concise but brief account
of early Victorian poetry and its in
fluence. Then a lady called up.
How can I cure lice and fleas ?'

DELAY MEXICO REPLY
Answer to Carranza's Note Will Wait
Until Wilson Returns.

Washington, Aug. 5.-The reply to
General Carranza's note regarding the
proposed joint commission to settle
border difficulties will not be formu-
lated until President Wilson returns
Monday from his weekend cruise
down the Potomac. State department
officials said today there would be
no announcement as to the positions
of the United States until that time
1t was indicated that while not en-
tirely satisfactory, General Carranza's
note is viewed as opening the way for
broadening the SCOPE of discussions
by the commission, as is desired by
the president, and information has
reached department officials that the
note was intended to cover that pos
sibility. although it does not mention
the suggestion except by inference.
Whether that will be regarded as
sufficient to warrant proceedings with
the negotiations by naming the Amer
lean commissioners and without fur
Their correspondence will be deter

football eleven, will lose strength by
the decision of A Battery, the artillery
organization from this state which

ice is equally burdensome.

After reaching here, she said, Buck

by Way of Topeka.
ANTHONY MILITARY ROAD

The Anthony military road from
Fort Riley. via Topeka. took step
closer to reality this noon when at a
meeting of the good roads COMMITTEES
at the Topeka Commercial club, 1t
was decided to call a meeting of the
Kaw Valley Improved Highway ASSOC
citation in Topeka Friday. The meet
ing will be attended by good roads
boosters. from Leavenworth, Wabaun-
see. Geary and Riley counties.
Haste was urged on the part of this
section of Kansas in mapping out an
extensive road plan. This is done to
properly impress upon the county
commissioners the necessity of maxi
ing a sufficient levy within the next
forty days to enable Kansas counties
to take advantage of the first pay
ment of the government appropriation
for good roads
Offers to Cooperate.
The decision to invite Leayenworth,
Wabaunsee, Geary and Riley county
to the meeting followed the receipt
of a letter from the Leavenworth
chamber of commerce offering to CO.
operate in urging county commission
ers in this section or the country to
make levies necessary to get the gov
eminent appropriation the first year.
COnt1nulng, the secretary Oh the LeaV-
enworth commercial organization
urged that the road from Fort Leav-
enworth to Fort Riley urged by Com
gresham Anthony for so many years
be the one decided upon in this Sec
ton. sli
1t is probable that the Leavenworth
road will extend first to Tonganoxfe,
where it will meet the proposed -Kaw

Valley Improved Highway association.
will issue invitations to the county
commissioners of the various counties,

At today's meeting the result of the
estimate on the Dover and Auburn
road by the county engineer and an
engineer from the brick association
was requested. 1t became apparent
that there had been no result. The
engineers didn't agree on single item
of cost. Mr.. Putney declared At "a
future meeting a plan viii be, accept
ed or rejected to employ an engineer
rot prejudiced to make a survey and
estimate of the cost of construction of
a hard surface road from TOPEKA to
both Dover and Auburn. ..
