Its use was legalized by the last legislature. It is described as simple in operation, and as the different parties are designat ed 'by color as well as in type, the most ignorant voters find little trouble in using it. Each vote is registered as cast, and the total is known as soon as the polls close. On the night of November 5, tbe de feated candidate for president sent the following telegram from his. home at Lincoln: "Hon. William McKinley, jr.. Canton, O.: Senator Jones has just informed me that the returns indicate your elec tion, and I hasten to extend my con gratulations. We have submitted the issues to the American people and their will is law. W. J. Bbtan." An exchange says: "Babbits have caused an epidemic of diphtheria in Iowa, and it has spread to Dows, lows Falls, Jewell Junction and Alden. No less than a dozen deaths have been reported. For the past five years diphtheria has annually broken out in the immediate vicinity of the Tabitha Lutheran church, which is used as a school building. A large number of rabbits have been living under the building for a long time, and the physicians have reached the conclu sion thai the little animals have planted the germs of the disease, which spread among the children. Tbe church will be burned." An old soldier, a participant in tbe War of the Rebellion desires Thk Jouk ax. to send his speech broadcast, viz: "Thank Goi that there are ' mi always have heea loyal cit izems emoMgh .m these United States to ran this goYeramemt. Agaia thank God that the lay al weatavrrat. were willing t help ns save the government in '96 as they were in the 'wO's' Haw New? The Lincoln Journal says it is under stood that a majority of the incoming state oaacers have had a meeting, and decided to give the "free silver republi cans a emall'share and divide the bal- of the appointments about equally s populists and democrats. Tbe for place has commenced with vigor that the officers who are elected feel it necessary to consider the utter of spoils before the various fac tieas which claim to have elected them can get well organized for a general onslaught for position. It is supposed that an early agreement in division will settle the matter so that office-seekers who may be objectionable can be put off with the statement that an iron-clad arrangement has been made and cannot be changed.

The Albion News calls attention to a phase of the late election that may prove to be more or less interesting, as follows: "It is evident that the popocrats of Nebraska have opened the doors for a contest, which if taken advantage of would give the state to the McKinley electors and the entire state republican ticket. In many counties having pop and democratic county clerks, they have made changes in the ballots as certified to them by the secretary of state, which flainly they had no authority to da 'or instance, here in Boone county, the position of the fusion electors waa chang ed, and not only that, but the political designation was put in bold black type different from all tbe others, which is certainly contrary to law. It was purely a partisan move and certainly unlawful. What will come of it remains to be seen." Pbesident-Elect McKinley closes a letter to the national central committee with: "Let us, as Americans, straight-way devote ourselves to the upbuilding of America; to the peace, honor and glory of our common country. Party dissen sions should no longer divide or rack the public mind; nor the zeal or temper of either side deter any citizen from patriotic devotion to the good of all."

However, I have obtained'an idea from a distinguished diplomat, Lord Dufferin, who recently said that the governments of the world were a mass of palpitating, nervous sensations. The result, he said, of bringing together these sensations was to destroy isolation, splendid or otherwise, and to induce nations to feel and act as ladies and gentlemen with considerations for each others feelings and interests. The people I represent have made a declaration in no narrow sense and in no local or merely na tional sense, which stands as a verdict and declaration for national honor, speaking to the human heart and mind in favor of that honesty which is essential for the civilization of the world. Ton can not today shock ci alligation even on its exterior boundaries without affecting its heart. This enables me to speak, not far myself or country, but for the whole diplomatic corps. The world is one. Who does not perceive it and who does not realize the truth and force of the day in which we live?" Mr. Bayard concluded with the words: "God speed the Aty of London." Mr. Bayard's re marks were received with a tumult of applause. Lord Salisbury laughed at the ambassador's reference to "splendid Isolation," a phrase credited to a cabinet minister, describing Great Britain's po sition ft the family of nations. After Mr. Bayard had concluded, the lord mayor proposed "The Ministry." Upon which Lord Salisbury arose amid loud cheers, which quickly subsided into breathless silence and close attention to the annual guild hall speech of the prime minister, which is by common accepta tion looked to embody the official an nouncement of the government's policy to the nation. Lord Salisbury said: "I thank Mr. Bayard for his presence here tonight aad for his joining in this historic meeting. By the few words he has uttered, he has raised his own plane of observation so high above the mere level of party that, though contrary to our practice to make observations on the internal politics of other states, I may be permitted, with out impertinence, to congratulate him upon the splendid pronouncement which the great people he represents has made In behalf of the principles which lie at the basis of all human society. Veaeaaelaa Dlspmte at am JSmi, "It is rather like pathos to turn from that matter to the not very important controversy which his country aad ours have had during the recent months, with only the purpose of expressing my belief that the controversy is at an end. (Cheers.) It is often svprising by what ever obvious arrangement our great diflculties are solved, and in the conti nent which Columbus discovered the tradition of Columbus and the egg should be reversed. In the flitpussinim we have had with the United States oa behalf of their friends in Venezuela the question lias not been whether there should be arbitration, but whether the arbitration should have unrestricted ap plication. We have always claimed respecting those, who apart from his toric right, had the right wliich attaches to settled establishment, that the settled districts should be excluded from arbi tration. Our difficulty for many months has been to find how to define the settled districts and the solution has come, 1 think, from the country Mr. Bayard represents, in the suggestion thatws should treat the colonial empire just at we treat individuals; that the same lapss of time which protects individuals in civil life from having their titles ques tioned should also protect the 'K?Tgiih colony from having its title questioned; ad where that lapse of time could not be claimed, there should be an examina tion of the title, yet all that equity de mended in consideration of each title should be granted. It is a very simpb solution and I believe it is not using un duly sangniue words when I my that I ehewe it has brought the controversy to an end.?- '" ' " ' "- BeUraMlUTWeelEaeUjr.

SOME SENSATIONAL TESlTl Mary Theft ef $3S,eee Fi-ei Kxpreea Ceaaaewjr Rerle4. LofjKVXUJt, Ky., Nov. 10. Some sen aUtoaaiyssHmoiiy was given before Judge Barr yesterday afternoon which revives the story of the theft of af35, 000 package from the Adams Express company a few years ago. Before the aOgameatsia the damage sqit of Mrs. ugenia Brod against the Adams Ex pfese company were begun, the counsel for the express company introduced aa evidence an alleged confession made by Mrs. Minnie B. Ketchum, Charles Har den'awife. In this confession she states her husband had told her that Charlton Brod got him the position with the ex press company with the understanding that they were to steal at least $1,000, 000 from the company. Ketohum told his wif e, according to her confession. that he was completely in EIrod's power and that Shod threatened to have him returned to the Missouri penitentiary for an unexpired term if he did not do as Elrod directed him. Using this same threat Elrod, it is alleged, would force Hardin to give ap his salary as fast aa it waa drawn, giving him back only enough to live oa and that in amounts of fl and t at a time. Finally, according to Mrs. Ketohum's statement, EIrod's creditors pressed him too hard and he told Hardin to take what moaey he oould get. Hardin came home one morning with about $1,000 and said that he had stolen $35,000 and had turned the most of it over to Elrod. They went to Cincinnati, when he gave Mrs. Banm, hit mother-in-law, $2,000, with which she bought a house in More land, a suburb of Chicago. They made their home there for awhile, having gotten from Ehrod $18,000. Then they traveled over the country and when he was finally arrested only a small part of it was left. From time to time, she says, Elrod had visited them and gotten back as much of the money as they would give him. According to her con fession, this nagging by Elrod caused her husband to spend the money and take to drinking. Before he was ar rested he had given his parents in Ar kansas $3,000, with which they had pur chased a home. It will be remembered that Hardin waa acquitted of this rob bery in Nashville, where he was taken for trial. He is now in the Michigan City, Ind., prison for another offense. Terreas Lav Uaeoaetitattoaal. Omcaao, Not. 10. The Torrens law, the real estate man'a particular statute is dead. The supreme court of Illinois, sitting at Ottawa, has declared it uncon stitotional Its purpose was to make land transfers easy by substituting for the bulky abstracts of title a certificate of title, which could be taken from the records of the register of titles in a few minutes. The law made the county re corder the registar of titles, and, by this, made him judge of the validity of titles. After his decision had been recordedin the books for five years, without protest, it was to be a guaranty of clear title. This Testing of judicial power in the county recorder is the point where the law and the constitution clashed.

Attorneys and officials of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe company have taken decisive action in the receivership proceedings begun hut Thursday in tho state district court. At a very early hour yesterday morning, they appeared at Oskaloosa, where the receivership proceedings were instituted before Judge Myer. After filing the usual papers with the clerk of the district court and taUnga transcript of the receivership case, they returned to Topeka and filed the documents with the United States district court, together with a motion to transfer the case to the federal court. Charles Johnson, the re ceiver appointed by Judge Myer, was due to qualify today, but the company's lawyer got into court first and it ia stated that his bond cannot be accepted with out the consent of the federal judge. At a later hour Charles Blood Smith, an in terested bondholder, appeared before United States Judge Foster at Fort Scott and secured a temporary injunction against the receiver appointed in the, state court. Mr. Smith, in his applica tion for an injunction, maintains that the alien land law of Kansas does not apply to railroads. Judge Foster en joins Mr. Johnson from interfering ia any manner with the Santa Fe property pending a hearing at Topeka on Nov. 33. In the motion to transfer, filed at Oska loosa, the Santa Fe lawyers maintain that the appointment of a receiver by the state court would be an interf erenoa with the interstate commerce and that the enforcement of the order dividing the company's lands intolO-acre tracts and selling them would destroy the rail, way and so be unconstitutional, that it would impair the obligations of aeon- trac tbetween the corporation and the state as embodied ia the company's charter.
