Pool Makes Hit With Pamphlet of 7 Election Figures (Prom a Staff Correspondent.) Lincoln, Dec. 9. (Specal.) Be lieving that there should be reform wherever it is needed, Secretary of State Charles Pool has inaugurated a new idea in the publishing of the offi cial sheet of the election. Instead of having it printed on a long sheet four or five feet one way and eighteen inches the, other, the secretary has had it compiled in pamphlet form and therefore is entitled to the thanks and praise of the millions of people who have heretofore been provoked to harsh words and explosive adjectives whenever they have attempted to get information from the long sheet and have tried to follow the line of figures clear across the page. As the official vote is prepared now, it is a source of joy to peruse it and is almost as interesting as one of Charles Q. De France's expositions on "How the Nebraska Election Bal lot Should Be Made Longer." McCook Fireman is Dead. MeCook, Neb., Dec. 9. (Special Telegram.) Fireman Floyd M.
