Nothing in the section of the law gov erning this point, however, shall pro hibit any elector from challenging or objecting to the name of any person registering or offering to register at any time other than next Saturday. If any person so challenged or ob jected to shall ba found not duly qualified, the registrar shall erase his name from the books. NEWS OP MARKETS AND SHIPPINQ.

Suddenly the group was startled by the pistol and looking around they saw Armstrong fall. The ball had entered his head just over the left ear and probably penetrated the brain. He lived but a few minutes. French asked some of his compan ions to report the matter to police headquarters, saying he would remain in the house until they returned. Two of the negroes hastened down to the station, but when they returned French had taken "French" leave, probably more out fright than any thing else.

The play is a "dressy" one, and the gowns worn by the ladies are said to be marvels of f anion's art. Miss Lamour has created quite a sen sation wherever she has been Been this season for her finely developed gifts as a comedienne and for the remarkable beauty She is said to possess.

It is away beyond all previous efforts; it marks a distinct era in the annals of the minstrel world. There are twelve renowned vocal soloists who vie with each other for supremacy. Included is Joe Brocke), the noted tenor, who is un der special engagement for the World's Fair at St. Louis in 1904. The vocal director is Joe Birnep, a favorite with New York city folks. Two boy so pranos, Master Newcomb, 7 years old, a little Kentuckian, with a voice like a nightingale, and Master Sodaro, 10 years of age, direct from Venice, are a decided hit The advance sale of seats will com mence Thursday morning.
