report, but It may be as well to correct
it. The expenses of the meetings have
already been provided for, and no col
lection, whatever will be taken for the
support of its leaders. A collection will
be taken each evening for the support
of the Florence Crittenton Missions, but
it will be the usual voluntary offering
for a special and noble line of work. No
one need feel obliged to contribute, and
Certainly no one will be forced by innu
endo or otherwise to donate money for
that cause. Let no one stay away be
cause of the collections.
The Ballots.
The Australian ballots are now being
ptinted at The Chhoniclk office. They
are 17x8 inches, in size and contain 47
names outside of precinct officers. Six
teen offices are to be filled from this
number. A blank is left at the conclu
sion of each list so that any name may
be written therein. The names are ar
ranged in alphabetical order, so that
sometimes a Republican, sometimes a
Democrat and . eometimes a Populist
leads the list, except in case of legislative
candidates, who are arranged in groups.
How to Vote.
- The Australian ballot law as amended
reads as follows : . "On the receipt of the
white ballot as aforesaid the elector shall
forthwith, and without leaying the en
closed space, retire . alone to one of the
compartments provided; and shall there
prepare his ' ballot by marking to the
left of the name 'of tlie candidate Of his
choice for 'each office to be filled, or "by
writing in the name of the person he
wishes to vote for."
Here is the way it works in the cities,
according to the Portland Telegram :
It is the novice candidate's first ap
pearance and his maiden address to the
voters of his ward. Observe his tout
ensemble. Feast your eyes on his home
less, restless hands. .
He knows them, but he cannot place
them like a man in his first swallow
tail.; The novice is young. The horny
banded sons of toil are boiling over with
anxiety to hear hini break-loose in a tor
rent of unexcelled denunciation of "offi
cial corruption," "the bosseB," etc. .
Enter the novice to the twang of music
from the mandolin club of the Horse-
shoers' Apprentice Union.
The voice ojf the president as he intro
duced the novice,. dies away-
There is a ghastly silence.

- The roof quakes again and tne novice
turns to page 337 . of the "Candidate's

phrase: ' , '" ' ; ' -. '. V,

Although the victim of a lingering dis
ease, her death was indeed a surprise
and a terrible blow to her family and
many friends, who looked for ner speedy
convalescence until death claimed ber.

and I. S. Swearingen, was born JieD. i,

united in marriage to Thomas A. 8mith
who survives her. She resided in Mon
