In order to secure a peti- tion that will be accepted by the county auditor it must be signed by voters numbering ten per cent of the entire vote ‘cast at the last general election, and such signers must be voters who did mnot vote at the primary - election, and the law makes it a misdemeanor for any person who voted at the primary to sign the petition of any man for ‘the offices that were ~ voted for, the law presuming that when the voter calls for his ballot he intends to express his preference for the differ- ent offices, Any man who voted has no right to sign a petition, and it is important that the people understand the law on this point to avoid any trouble in the future.

TEN THOUSAND MAY BE DEAD IN FLOOD First Reports of Casualties in India Underestimated. Hyderabad, India, Oct. 1.—It is i feared that pestilence will follow the floods that have occurred in the Hy derabad and Deccan districts as a re- sult of the unprecedented rainfall of the past few weeks. The waters have with unburied bodies estimated to number not less than one thousand. Most of the corpses are those of wo- men and children. They are decom- | posing already and as it will be im { possible to get them under ground promptly an outbreak of illness is feared. Many elephants are at pres- i ent employed in removing the dead. Later reports from the flooded dis- tricts point to a much heavier mortal- ity than was at first supposed. The rescuers, up to the present time, have ionly touched the edge of the deso- lated area, but from the number of bodies already found it is feared that i the fatalities will total several thou- |sand. One report places the deaih list at 10,000. The village of Ghouli- lgoeda, which consisted of 1,000 houses | on the bank of the river Musi, has | been entirely engulfed in the mud. FOREST FIRE DAMAGE. { Loss of a Million a Day for Several Months. ‘Washington, Oct. 1.—An aggre- gate loss of $1,000,000 a day dllllngl the months when forest fires have been prevailing in various parts of | the United States is estimated by W. | J. McGee, the erosion expert of the department of agriculture. The for- estry bureau, in a statement, says | that probably in every instance the | devastating forest fires might have | been prevented if the various states | | had provided an adequate number of | men to patrol the woods and arrest | the fires in their incipiency and if | lumbermen and other users of the | forests had been careful to dispose of | brush after logging so as to prevent the spread of fires. The statement | | says the loss from timber destroyed in | 1908 will be larger than last year, but that it is doubtful if the exact losses will ever be known. IN OPERATION IN 1911, Survey for Continental Midland Road About Completed. | ‘Winnipeg, Man., Oct. 1.—Survey- ors for the Continental Midland rail- way have reached Emerson and com- menced the survey toward Winnipeg. The road will run on the east side of the Red river, paralleling the Cana- dian Pacific into this city. Only sixty- five miles now remain to complete the distance between Galveston, Tex., and ‘Winnipeg. Construction will com- mence from St. Louis in the early spring and it is expected that the road will be in operation in 1911. i { | | YEGGMEN SHOOT OFFICER @afecrackers Secure $3,000 at Lady- smith, Wis.
