The law which applies to repeaters is general, and is included in the follow ing: "A qualified voter under the notice cr call may challenge any vote offered because such person offering to vote is not entitled to vote under the notice or call, because he is not a citizen of the United States or cannot be at the next election a legal voter of the pre cinct, because such person has received or been promised directly or indirectly money, fee or reward for his vote, or has voted on the same day at that or some other precinct. The penalty under this provision if the repeater would "swear in" his vote would be the same as for perjury, which would mean a term in the peni tentiary. A QUICK DENIAL. Philadelphia, April 13.

The Tribune says: Not until this year has there ever been any broom corn imported from Europe for the use of the American broom fac tories. A firm in this city is now re ceiving a cargo of corn, which was bought in Hungary, because the price in this country is so high. The broom corn trust, it is said, has 12.000 tons in hand, but will not sell it for less than $200 a ton. The Hungarian corn was shipped from Triest. "With the ocean and rail way freight charges this broom corn will cost the Chicago firm less than $120 a ton laid down in Chicago. It is what is known in the broom corn trade as pale red self -working and does not com pare well wtih the corn grown in Illi nois or Kansas. TRUST EN JOINED.

They Decide That They Have Earned a Vacation. The jointists are going to take a va cation. At present the business of op erating joints is too fraught with dan ger for them to continue. The system at present is to go on a two weeks' fishing trip. Whether they will go up Salt river or to Cottonwood is a question but go they will some where. This morning the entire clan met in front of the postoffice and decid ed to hire wagons and a cook and start Saturday in time to escape the terrors of the coming election. The only para phernalia they will have to buy will be the fishing tackle. The anti-snake bite liquids will cost them nothing and they will go well stocked for a long dry spell. Today the joints are closed but that does not mean that the thirsty multi tudes are going dry. The back doors of some of the joints can be pried open with a crowbar without offending the jointists.

As he goes in the judges give mm tne oniciai oaiioi.
