AX AUSTRALIAN BALLOT TEST.
IFrom the N. Y. Commercial-Advertiser
The Democratic hope that the thirteen
electoral votes of Wisconsin may be
lost by President Roosevelt is not based
on a belief that the majority of the
voters of Wisconsin prefer Judge Par
ker. On the contrary, the Republicans
assert and the Democratic leaders of
Wisconsin concede that the actual
Roosevelt majority in Wisconsin is
from 50,000 to 100.000. Notwithstanding
the divlson of the Wisconsin Republi
cans Into two closely organized factions,
each with Its state ticket, there would
be no doubt concerning the national
ticket were It not, as has been hereto
fore explained in these columns, for a
Wisconsin law which forbids a candi
date's name appearing more than once
on the official ballot.
The two - Republican state conven
tions of Wisconsin this year, both the
one that nominated La Foliette and
the one that nominated Cook, named
the same set of presidential electors. It
was assumed,- when ' these common
nominations were made, that the list
could be placed both under the "Half
Dreed" and "Stalwart" designations. and
that the two factions could fight their
family quarrel to a finish without
jopardlzng the electoral ticket. But
scrutiny of the law showed that such
double entry was illegal. There was
a dead wall preventing effective fusion.
Which faction had a right to claim the
list of electors? If title were establish
ed by one, would the other nominate
another set of electors, with such a
division of strength as to elect Demo
cratic electors? Not a few robust Wis
consin Republicans have been reduced
to the verge of insanity by the intri
cacy of the problem.
The last proposal which has been
made is the most novel of the series.
Eleven of the thirteen electors nom
inated by the two conventions having
expressed a determination to go on the
ticket under the LaFollette designa
tion or nowhere, the suggestion is that
the other two should Join them, and
that the entire thirteen shall then ap
pear'as the eleven demand, with no
names of electors appearing on the
"Stalwart" ticket an address by the
state committee of the "Stalwarts" in
structing the latter to ignore the circle
at the head of the ticket, to vote for
Cook in the square, and then to cross
over to the other column and vote for
the electors. It is claimed that under
this arrangement the entire Republi
can vote could be concentrated on one
set of electors withcut either faction
surrendering. Having captured eleven
of the thirteen electors, the La Foliette
faction asserts the right to place the
names in its column. The difficulty of
the plan is, of course, the possibility
that the intelligent voter will arrive
at the polling booths ignorant as to
the arrangement and at once proceed
to muddle things. It is to be recalled
at one election In New York, under
the Australian system, no less than
120,000 ballots were thrown out as de
fective. J ATHAWK ER JOTS.

was placed on -exhibition in Australia.

bility that he mij.it consent to accept
the chairmansnip.
Mr. Gorman stated he had frankly in
formed all who had made such a oug-

him to undertake the labors incident to
that position and that he now desired
to add that no conditions will arise
which would induce him to change that
determination. He will, however, be

he believes will be crowned with suc

STILL AFTER ABBOTT.
Topeka Baseball Management Wants
Him Very Much.
The management of the Topeka base
ball team set to work this morning to
secure the release of Abbott from Pitts
burg for the purpose of bringing him
here and making him field manager
and captain.:- He Is an "old head" and
playing a great game both in fielding
and hitting at the present time. In
the struggle to get the Saints on their
pedis extremis, Abbott, once fired by
Topeka, is looked to for resurrection.
The players all like him and ask for
his return. They say that they can and
will play good ball under his direction.
At Pittsburg he has had fair success,
although little judgment can be taken
of his work there, because of the dis
organized condition of the team under
its change of management, which oc
curred Just about the time nt which lie
had the team playing together.
The question then comes. What will
be done with Schrant? Then an effort
is being made to get Roy Bevis. Com
munication was established with him
this morning by one of the fans in tiis
city. He says he can get away from
Sedalla and says he wants to come
back to Topeka. Some more changes
would follow if Abbott takes holi, but
to conjecture about them would be
mere idle gossip.

Malacca and the condemnation by a
prize court of the British Allenton. The
company's agents ask what they may
expect and tor a definition of contra

has as yet been returned, because the
whole subject is under very careful in
vestigation by the legal officers of the
department and its commercial Import
ance may demand the issue of a formal
notice from the government to the
American marine of its rights and

posed by the war upon its trade opera

Now He Couldn't Appoint Executive
Committee If He Wanted To.
The report has been published that
Chairman Stubbs has refused to ap
point an executive committee, and the
story has caused Mr. Stubbs some em
barrassment. It is quite true that he
has not found an executive committee
necessary in his business, and he had
not appointed one up to the time the
Republican state committee met last
night. Therefore the committee relieved
him of further embarrassment by re
scinding its former action authorizing
him to appoint the committee.
R. N. Allen made the motion to ie-
scind. He said the mover of the orig
inal motion was willing to have it re
scinded, as an executive committee is
unnecessary. J. Dolley seconded the
motion to rescind. He was the mover
of the original motion. The motion was
passed and no questions asked. Mr.
Stubbs now luur. no authority to ap
point an execurtv-eommittee.-

H. Forbes Wants Ball Flayers Ar
rested for Working on Sunday.
P. H. Forbes has suggested to County
Attorney Hungate- that he prosecute
the Topeka Salntfor working on Sun
day if they play ball next Sunday.
Mr. Forbes thinks that if the Saints
play ball they will be working. That
Is a question for discussion whether
they play or whether they work. If
Mr. Forbes' idea is carried out then
the street car company will have to
stop running on Sunday, the gas com
pany and the Topeka ater company
and the electric light plants will have
to stop, perhaps, and even the ministers
who have not already gone away on
summer vacations will have to cease
preaching. That Is the argument of
the Sunday baseball enthusiast. Coun
ty Attorney Hungate has announced
that he will issue a complaint for the
arrest of the players if any one re
quests it. Mr. Forbes declined to swear
to a complaint.

"Geese, my son," replied the father.
"Oh, eaten me one, father; catch me

CASE OF SMALLPOX.
City Physician Storrs Tried Hard to
Keep Facts From Public.
City Physician Storrs has succeeded
in secreting another patient In the pest
house without anybody - knowing it.
The man's name is Albert Anderson,
an employe at Marple's livery barn in
North Topeka, who was taken to rjje
hospital Monday night, with what is
said to be smallpox.
Dr. Storrs did not know of the exist
ence of the case until three days after
the man was sick and broken out. Then
he made a frantic effort to quarantine
all the people who were rooming on
the second floor of the Citizens' bank
building, at Kansas avenue and Norris
streets, but he was too late. Every last
one of them had fled when they heard
what was coming, and so far as known,
the city physician failed to get any of
them in quarantine.
Today there is nothing on the second
floor of the building but a lot of vacant
rooms, a good deal of dirt, a strong
smell of formaldehyde and a big red
smallpox card on the floor at the west
end of the hall. 1
Dr. Storrs prides himself on the fact
that he can keep the public from know
ing anything about the spread of con
tagious diseases in Topeka. Every scrap
of information reeardlng smallpox Is
has blocked every avenue he could by
has blocked avery avenue he could by
which news of his "policy" might get to
the public through the newspapers.
Mayor Bererundthal seems to sustain
him In this new and original method of
running the health department, but
Mayor Bergundthal does a lot of queer
things.
Albert Anderson, which is the name
of the man now in the pest house, has
been in Topeka for several years. His
home was Menoken. but he came down
here and has worked at the Marple
livery barn most of the time. The Mar
ple barn is on Norris street, Just west
of Kansas avenue.
Anderson rented a room on the sec
ond floor of the Citizens' bank. The
second floor of this building is divided
into about 15 rooms, with a long hall
connecting them. Anderson had the
west room. Most of the other rooms
were occupied by young men, of about
Anderson's age. It is said that when
the roomers became aware that Ander
son was sick, they did not at first real
ize what was the matter with him.
When it was discovered that he had
smallpox, they kept quiet about it, for
fear the health department would
quarantine the whole building.
Just west of the building lives Mrs.
Battles, the mother of Otho Battles,
the postofllce man who was hurt not
long ago. On Sunday, some of the
Battles family saw Anderson through
a window, and discovered that he was
broken out with some eruptive disease.
Thev suspected that it was smallpox,
and the next day, Mrs. Battles her
self called at the office of the health
department and notified the officials.
This led to an Investigation and the
discovery that Anderson was sick.
Anderson was taken from his room
and conveyed to the pest house at the
dead of night following the disclosure.
This was done to avoid having people
around to watch the performance. He
was loaded into the pest house ambu
lance, and given a midnight ride of
3 miles to the hospital south of
town.
An officer was detailed to go to the
building and put all the other roomers
under quarantine. When he went to
execute this order, they had all left,
and had taken their furniture with
them. The rooms were as bare and
deserted as a haunted garret. So there
was nothing to do but fumigate the
rooms which Anderson had occupied,
and trust the rest to luck.
Something seems to have happened
to the supply of furniture at the pest
house. It was fully furnished once.
but in order to accommodate Ander
son, a new bed had to be purchased.
The bed was taken out to the pest
house by one of the sanitary officers,
who refused to give any information
about the matter, but referred all in
quiries to City Physician Storrs.

Mr. Sothern's guest was greatly dum
founded, but was too well bred to ask
questions. Resuming his argument, he
again grew heated in his remarks, and
again the colored man quietly and mys
teriously entered, and, clearing his voice,
declared :
"If you were the devil himself, do you
think you could make me like you?"
To the guest's surprise, the actor took
the interruption as a matter of course,
so Sothern's visitor, in a dazed manner,
continued his argument, only to be inter
rupted again and again by the same col
ored intruder, this time with the remark:
"I know you know, and God knows 1
pity you."
Mr. Sothern's guest was now too sur
prised to talk. He sat in a collapsed con
dition until the same man had entered
three separate times, and in an expres
sionless voice said:
"I am as changeless as the sun. I will
carry my soul pure to heaven."
"You are the strange woman."
"You shall be as beautiful as I am and
as happy."
This last remark was too much for the
man's nerves. He was barely able to
gasp.

In the days of his youth, befo de wah,
it had been the privilege of Uncle Eph
Slater to attend bis master, as body
servant, noon several extended journeys.
To mention the name of another town or
locality was enouerh to start him on Ms
reminiscences, and so jealous did he grow
of his reputation as a traveler that he
always declared he had visited the place
in question whether ne naa or not.
One day an acquaintance, iwacon
Thomnnon. met Uncle EDh on the street
and told him of the arrival in the village
of the new schoolma'am. whose acquire
ments, he had heard, were of a high or

"I don'no 'bout dat," replied the dea
