May 9. ludw Preston has made a most important de cision iu the district court at Marion, in volving the leading section of the Aus- rahan ballot law. The ludee hol.ls that the section which provided that no ballot without official endorsement shrill be allowed to be deposited in the ballot box. and none but ballots provided in accordance with the act shall be counted, is simplv directory and not mandatory; that ii. "in case the ballots are not prepared and cast in ac cordance with the statutes the election is not invalidate. He also held that t he section of the act was also merclv lirtC- lw, y providing mat all ballots shall be irmted at nnhlie nrwnu ...i . i ballots shall be used. The effect of this construction will be that the law may be disregarded so long as fraud is not resorted to. Appointments. Washington. May 9.

Among the exhibits at the ex position today was a national bank under suspensiou. Tbe exhibit was not a pleasing one in the eyes of foreigners who bad money on deposit, but fears of not getting it back are unfounded. The World'- Fair branch of the Chemical National bank of Chicago, now in the bands of Uncle Sam, usually opened its doors on the second floor of pavilion D, Administration building, at 9 o'clock At w:o came a telephone message from Cashier Baden at the down town office of the suspended bonk, to close the doors of the exposition branch. This was done and soon there was a line of anxious. complaining depositors, some represent' "K iucuibcivcs, ana ot tiers states or concerns. They wanted to get in cIobc touch to the teller's window, bat he talked to those who understood En glish in a reassuring way and some went away. The paying teller said he would nave paid checks presented before the doors were cloed. but had not the com bination to the vault. Treasurer Sea berger of the exposition was an early caller. He said he had a small account with the bank, but was confident rvcrv depositor would be paid in full and quickly. 1 he Question of a successor to the Chemical National bank at the Pair is one to be decided by the directory at its meeting. The United States govern ment, tne national commission, the Miss ouri board and other states have money in the bank. The Chemical bank paid $10,000 for the privilege of doing busi ness in tne World's rair grounds. It has always done a good business. Chicago. May 9.

Investigation has shown that natural ice contains micro organisms that are dangerous to health and the conclusion has been arrived at that illness frequently observed after iced drinks have been taken have proba bly less to do with the coldness of the drink than with the disease germs con tained in the ice. The public have consequently been warned to eschew drinks and food which have been found dangerous to health in tbe manner suggested above. You'd Better Mav amt Home. Prom the Richmond Dlapatcb.
