WHEELING, W. Va., Nov. 3.
The weather is clear and warm with
indications of a heavier vote In West
Virginia than at any previous elec
tion. Allegations of padded regis
trations In many precincts may re
sult in many arrests for illegal vot
ing as feeling runs high. Owing to
scratching, it Is doubtful whether
i more than a small percentage of the
1,400 precincts in the state can re

DISPLAY RETURN'S XEAR
1 POSTOFFICE TONIGHT.
Much interest is being manifested
locally in the national election to
day, it being the only topic of con
versation on streets. Locally, a
normal vote Is being polled.
i At 3:30 this afternoon, 340 votes
had been polled in South Marshfleld
and 20C In North Marshfleld. Re
ports from other points in the coun
ty shows that the full vote is turn
ing out.
That tho full vote in this scct'on
will be out Is shown by the number
of voters registering and swearing In
their votes today. In North Marsh
fleld, forty-one voters registered or
swore in their votes today. The reg
istration in the precinct was 313,
and the new ones bring It up to 354.
In South Marshfleld, a similar num
ber of votes are being sworn in.
The announcement that the Mllll
coma Club will display the returns
tonight at the corner of A' and
Front street, is causing much grati
fication as it would have been dim
cult for the general public to get
much information unless this was
done. As there is three hours dif
ference in time between hero and
tho east, accurate reports will be re
ceived here by 7 o'cloc"k.

EXPLAIN LAST
CITY REPDR
T
Councilman Sacchi Shows
Why September Bills Were
Not Included.
At last night's meeting of the city
council, Councilman Sacchi explain
ed that there hns been a misunder
standing of the last quarterly report
oft the city recorder on tho muni
cipality's financial condition. The
report had been regarded by many
as Intending to show tho city's ex
penses and Income for the qunrter.
This was incorrect as tho report sta
ted that was of receipts and expen
ditures. In consequence of It being
bf expenditures, the expenses Incur
red in September but which wero
not paid until October, wero not in
cluded in tho report which covered
the months of July, August and Sep
tember. Thus about $1,000 or
$1,500 as bills for salaries of city of
ficials, water rentals and electric
light rentals ,etc., for September, for
which wnrrants wero not issued until
October was not included in tho re
port of city expenditures for Septem
ber. Owing to the bills for tho
month of June having been nllowed
tho last day of that month and In
cluded in tho qunrter preceding tho
one covered In tho last report, the ex
penditures for the last quarter show,
ed up small.
With the salaries and other ex
penses for tho month of September,
for which warrants were not drawn
until October, Included the deficit for
that quarter would have been be
tween $5,000 nnd $6,000 instead of
$4,057.50 as shown by tho quarterly ,In East Ardmore today by John Bra

Railroad Avenue Improvement.
Senntor J. S. Coko In behalf of tho
Southern Pacific Company, L. M.
Noble, F. M. Frledberg and Geo. A.
Balnes, who own all tho property
fronting on Railroad avenue, tho
street following tho footpath gener
ally used between the Broadwny Mill
Slough bridge and the depot, enter
ed n protest against tho improvement
of the street at this time. Tho coun
cil had ordered It filled by the dredge
at a cost of about $2.90 per front
foot. Mr. Coke said that tho street
was not necessary now as tho Broad
way and Washington street plank
roads afford ample means of reach
ing the depot. He said that his
clients were not opposed to nny Im
provements that were absolutely ne
cessary or beneficial. Ho said that
tho depot might bo moved this way
and a track put In along where tho
proposed street would bo, making tho
property more valuable for trackage
rights than If It merely had street
frontage.
Councilman Nasburg thought thnt
if tho depot was going to bo moved
nearer the center of the city as Gen
eral Manager C. J. MlUIs had.lntlmnt
ed to him that it would bo all right
to abandon tho Improvement for tho
time. '
Mayor Straw said that ho had re
commended tho Improvement of Rail
road avenuo because he thought It
would benefit the public, being tho
shortest street to the depot. Ho said
that if the council wanted to do tho
right thing by tho public that they
could not always do Just what tho
abutting proporty owners wanted.
Furthermore, ho said that tho heavy
traffic on Broadway had compelled
tho proporty owners along It to have
It robullt twico and ho did not think
it was fair for thorn to hnvo to pay
for tho maintenance of a stroet to
carry traffic that should ko another
way. Upon motion by Councilman
Sacchi, the mattor was referred to

Other MiisIiii'Mi.
