Candidates for the various offices are already being addressed by their possible titles, the ballots have been printed in the club printing shop, and towel container has been converted into a ballot box by one of the boys up for office, so that he is suspected of having arranged a secret method of fixing the election.

FINE PICTURES FOR
 CHICAGO SCHOOLS
Attempt Made to Bring Beauty
 to the Children

Chicago, Feb, 6.--Belleving that the heritage of beauty Is being de- nied the child. while his stomach Is stuffed with good things and his mind is filled with facts" the Chi- cago Public School Art society was founded and since It's organization has bought and hung 2,5OO large, colorful reproductions of famous masterpieces in class rooms of 1S0 of the city's S60 public schools.
 Pictures carrying 8 lesson form the body of the subjects selected by the society.
 So successful have been the re- suits that an organized effort to make nationwide the movement for pictures in school rooms is about to be made, according to Mrs. Theo- dore Teiken, president of the so- ciety.
 "Thousands of our school chill dren come from dirty, ugly homes" said Mrs. Teiken. "They play in drab, grey streets, monotones of ugllncss. To such children a beauti- ful picture is a glimpse into the land that dreams come from. A good picture in the life of a child during that critical, formative per- iod may be the means of changing his whole life, it may even bring forth the first gleam Of latent ar- tistic talent.
 When our society was founded 1t was our ambition to see a fine picture on the walls of every class room in Chicago. Now, having been given the vision of what can be done, we hope to see it promoted by similar societies in every city"

names of others to petitions were
also read by Attorney Fisher.
Mr.. Fisher also called attention to
the similarity of handwriting of
some of the signatures on certain
petitions which were circulated in
Lewiston and Bangor.
Judge E. G. Smith, deputy secre-
tary of State. stated that 1880
names appearing on the petitions
had been certified as legal voters.
Attorney Fisher called attention to
the fact that on the back of one of
the petitions were IA names which
would bring the total up to 1888.
Governor Brewster then declared
the hearing adjourned to next Mon
day morning at 10 o'clock.
Similar Hearing Eight Years Ago
A similar hearing was held eight
years ago on the petitions for a
referendum on the acts to make the
Kennebec Journal the State paper,
to create the Office of commissioner
of inland fisheries and game and to-
abolish the Office of the commission
of inland fisheries and game, to
provide a police commission for the
City of Lewiston and to promote the
efficiency of the police department
thereof and to create commission
of sea and shore fisheries. At the
hearing on these petitions 1t was
claimed that many of the signatures
were illegal, so much so enough petit
lions were rejected so that the nee
essary 1900 signatures had not been
obtained and no referendum was
held on the four questions. Ralph
w. Crockett of Lewiston, now the
Judge of the municipal court of that
city. conducted the investigation.
