A very significant feature viii be
added to tho educational resources OF

Hon. Shelton NJ. Saufley, of this
city, has bought the ClimaxMadi-
sonian and Register of Editor Grant
E. Lilly. of Richmond. and will take
charge of those publications Monday.
While the price paid is private. it is
said to be a long one. Mr.. Saufley
acquires valuable newspaper prop
erty and that he will make good in
Richmond, none who know him will
doubt. As is well-known, Mr.. Saufley
was editor and owner of the Interior
Journal until the latter part of Feb
ruary, when he sold it to the present
owners He greatly increased the bus
mess of the paper and made it one of
the best newspaper properties in the
State. That he will make the Rich
mond papers bigger and better is
shown in a statement from him that
he will merge the two papers and is
sue a semi-weekly instead. The field
is an excellent one and with Mr..
Sauhey's ability, energy and judg-
ment, there's no telling what good
things are in store for him and his
patrons. II is sincerely regretted that
he and his excellent family will leave
Stanford. but there is some comfort
in the thought that they are not go
ing far.

Washington, May 5.--An of
ficial outline of the method by
which military registration is to
be carried out under the selective
I conscription bill was. made pub
lie today.
The war department. also is
sued an appeal for the voluntary
services of state election and
other officials in order that there
1 may be no delay in enrolling and
Classifying millions of men for
army duty.
The only function of the fed
eral government will be super
vision through the office of the
provost marshal general.
The departments statement
follows:
All persons within the age
limits prescribed will be required
to present themselves for regis
tration at the customary voting
3 places in the voting precincts in
which they have their permanent
\ homes, on day which ,theSpresi-
dent will announce. The prob
ability is. that from. ten to fifteen
days will elapse between approval
ofthe bill and registration day.
The governor of each state
will he the chief of registration
therein The machinery of reg
istration in each county is to, be
in charge of the sheriff, the
county clerk and county ply
sician, acting ex-officio, unless a
8 different board shall he an
nounced by the governor. In cig-
les containing populations OF
more than 10000 the registration
will besunder control of the mayor
and selected boards of registra-
ton.
In order that the designated
county and city officials. and the
people generally, can get clear
understanding of the census
methods, the following brief out
line is given:
The sheriffs or other desig-
mated officials, Immediately upor
receiving notice from the gov
ernor, shall appoint registrars
for each voting precinct.
The proportion of registrars
shall be one for each 40 persons
to be registered. Each age to bt
B registered will comprise about
per cent eff the pcpdlatfon. II
Tor instance, all men between Il!
and S25 years of age, inclusive
are to be registered. the registrar
would have to enroll about Z pei
cent of the precinct population.
1T is desirable TO accept thu
services of competent volunteer
registrars to serve without com.
pensation. All registrars mus
be sworn.
