Judge Cra:g Files List of Voters
Alleged to Have Cast Illegal
Hallots in Primary
County Judge A. J. Craig has

Democratic County Central Com
mittee a complaint alleging
grounds for a contest of the elec
tion by which Judge Cul. L. Pear
ce received the nomination over
him for the office of county judge
of Independence county in the re
cent primary election. The offi
cial returns as shown by the poll
books and tally sheets, and certifi
ed to by the County Central Com
mittees, gave Judge Pearce 1,422
votes and Judge Craig 1,332
votes. Judge Craig in his corn
complaint alleges that there were
482 illegal votes cast in the pri
mary, and that ail ol said illegal
votes were cast for Judge Pearce.
Of this number he states that 396
did not have proper poll tax re
ceipts, 12 were minors, 11 voted
in the wrong township or precinct
and one was infamous, having
never received a pardon after
being sentenced to the penitentia
ry. The complaint asks that the
482 votes be rejected and deduct
ed from the vote as shown by the
returns and that the committee
recount the remaining ballots, and
if it be found that he has a major
ity of the same he be declared the
nomifiee.
Following is the list of voters
whom Judge Craig alleges cast il
legal ballots for his opponent, and
which he asks be rejected and their
ballots be deducted from the vote
cast in the primary.

CAME BACK TO HIS MEMORY
Long Years of Captivity Had Not Ef
faced Early Teachings From Mind
of Elephant.
The following is an instance of an
elephant’s good manners and of the
tenacity with which an idea once re
ceived by him adheres in l it. mem
ary.
When visiting the London Zoo, an
Englishman who had seen service in
India got permission for his children
to ride on one of the elephants. After
the ride he wished to give the beast
i bun and to make him say “Please,"
using in this connection the phrase
'Salaam kuro” (make a salaam).
The man animal regarded the man
gravely for some time, eagerly eyeing
the bun in bis hand. At last memory
came to the pachyderm’s aid, and up
went his trunk, and he made a most
correct salaam.
The beast's keeper was much as
tonished, asking what the performance
meant. The Britisher explained that
it was a point of good manners for an
elephant to raise his trunk up to his
forehead if anyone was going to feed
him, and that frequently elephants
would ask in this polite manner for
something when they encountered
anyone who seemed likely to offer
them food.
Tile keeper assured the visitor that
he had never seen the elephant do this
before, and that he had been in
charge of the beast since its arrival
from India a long time since. For 17
years this animal had never heard
these words, and had always taken
his food without this mark of good
manners.—The Sunday Magazine.
POINT THAT ATTRACTED Hi!V!
Vegetarian Dinners Had at Least One
Good Idea That He Could
Appreciate.
After steadfastly declining many
Invitations to public dinners a man
astonished his friends by attending
three vegetarian dinners.
"Are you a convert?" they asked.
“I am not," said the man. "I go be
cause the vegetarians have one cus
tom that, deserves to he encouraged.
Their speeohmaking precedes the din
ner. Anyhow, it did at the three din
ners I attended. That is a most com
mendable custom. It ought to be
adopted at all dinners. Everybody is
iri a hurry to begin eating, and they
don’t tiike time to mcfmder through a
lot of dull speeches.
"I don’t know why the vegetarians
reversed the usual order. None of
them that 1 asked could tell. Person
ally, I think it is because they are so
anxious to get away and order a
square meal somewhere after their ap
petites have been whetted by their
