GENERAL AND STATE NEWS

TfttnfMc Reports From Mir Ports if tta Gentry. SHORT MTS OF THE UNUSUAL Happenings in the Nearby Cities and Towns—Matters of Minor Mention fram Many Places. BALLOTS WERE PRINTED OVER Error in Monon News Office Proved to Re Quite Costly. By an unfortunate error In makIng up the forms for the county election ballots in the office of the Monon Newß, where the ballots were printed, it was necessary to print them over, after the entire number, 11.000. had gone through the press and were counted and arranged in packages according to the number required for the several precincts. The election board ordered a change in the location of the tickets on the ballot after the forms had been made up, and the printer neglected to transpose the squares to correspond with the emblems at the top of the Progressive and Prohibition tickets. The error was discovered at Monon and the tickets were reprinted at once and have been delivered to the election board. The oversight cost the News publishers about 935, and they are the only ones who have a kick coming. At the present price of paper the stock for 11,000 election ballots runs into real money and runs fast, —Monticello Journal.
