Last Week.
Republicans Vote a Large One
Amsberry Has Withdrawn in Favor of
Illar.ey for Register of Deeds.and
Fusion is Complete.
A
The official returns of the pri
mary election held last w.eek
made some changes in the ma
jorities of the candidates as an
nounced last week , but these
changes were not large enough
to overcome the majorities fig
ured out in the unofficial returns.
Poor held his lead over Joyner
for county treasurer by fifty-four
votes. Ford kept twenty two in
advance of Humphrey , Lewis
finished fifty-nine in the lead of
Waters , VanAntwerp wound up
with 404 over Ferguson , Pen-
nington got his nomination by
twelve , and Kennedy won out
over Rogers easily with 582 to
the good. Andrew Somers was
nominated as the Republican
candidate for supervisor in dis
trict number 4. Dewey had no
opposition in district number 6
John Heney secured the Demo
cratic nomination for register of
deeds and Clyde Wilson was
nominated on the Populist and
Democratic tickets for count\
superintendent. F. A. Amsberrv
got the nomination for register
of deeds on the Populist ticket
and he has withdrawn in favor
of John Heney.
The returns show that about
1175 Republican votes were cast ,
while the Democrats and Popu
I/X lists cast but 420. There wa-
but little interest in tlie Demo
cratic and Populist primaries
owing to there being but twu
offices at stake and there was not
much of a fight put up by tin
candidates for these. The Re
publicans on the other hand had
a contest on in all but two ol
the offices and they turned out in
large numbers for this re oo
The total vote of the thm
parties was as follows :

The State Itailway Commis
sion has held in a recent ruling

ng- made by the commission is
as follows :
35a. Discontinuance of Scr-
,
r * " *
ice for Non-Pa3ment. A rule
of a telephone company that tel
ephone rent must be paid in ad
vance is reasonable , and a sub
scriber refusing to comply there
with is not entitled to service
rom the company. Counterclaim
does not jusiif } ' nnn-paytnent.
A telephone coinpati } * may en
force the payment of its current
lues and tolls by the summary
uethod of denying service , re
gardless of the fact that the de-
itiquent patron claims the com-
> any is indebted to him.

on Account of Defective Service.
A telephone subscriber is pre
sumed to know that his tele
phone is liable to get out of
order , and , if it is situated in
the country , that some time may
elapse before it can be repaired ;
and such subscriber is only en
titled to a deduction from his
jill subsequent to the expiration
of a reasonable time after the
company had notice of the
trouble and failed to repair it.
