There was some kicking about the ballots for West Scott because all the names sent into the Commis sioners' office were not printed on them. The commissioners and the printer did the best they could with them.' The mistake was in the papers themselves. Each party held a separate caucus in each end of Scott township, and nominated two different sets of officers for the same township. The commission ers should have thrown out all their papers, and refused to print any tickets until the candidates were properly nominated. Do you want some nice station ery?

Dillon has introduced a new carnation which has been christened Queen Louise. It is a white flower, very large, and a strong bloomer. In a 16-page circular containing half tone cuts showing this carnation in the beds in different stages of growth, Mr. Dillon says: "In offering this new Carnation to the trade we do it fully convinced that it is the best white carnation ever in troduced. It has been tried along bide of nearly all the new and old white varieties now in cultivation, and in many particulars, especially its con tinuous blooming qualities, has sur passed them all In 1896 we saved some mixed carnation seed and sowed them about the 1st of March 1897. We planted out over one thousand of these seedlings. In August one of the plants, by its strong growth and a bunch of pure white flowers, attract ed our attention. After being put in the house it continued to grow and take the lead, making strong growth and flowering profusely and yielding about 50 cuttings. In the season of 1898 and '99, we had the pleasure of giving it a fair trial and it proved itself better than any other white on the place. We propagated in 1899, 2000 plants from the 50. Owing to delay in getting our cement to fix our sub watering beds the Queen Louise Car nations were not planted until the 7th of October 1899. They were badly frozen several nights before planting, the thermometer going down one night to 260. At this time they were full of buds and bloom and continued to grow and bloom, except where we took olT the cuttings, until thrown out August 25th." Queen Louise is noted for the fol lowing qualities: Very strong grower, pure white, perfectly healthy, does not byrst, easily transplanted, very frag rant, long stiff stems, good keeper, very large flower, good shipper, it blooms early and it blooms late. It blooms all the time and is the great commercial white carnation. Mr. Dillon went to Baltimore on Wednes lay to attend a meeting of the Carnation Association, which meets there to day and to-morrrvv. He took with him a lot of carnations that will be very hard to excel. Seventeen new fonts of job type have recently been added to our al ready large assortment. Negotiations are pending for the purchase of two more presses, as the five job presses now in use are hardly sufficient to keep up with our constantly increas ing trade. When we first went into the business one quarto-medium press could do all the work and not be very busy half the time. Since the first of January we have already turned out as many jobs of printing as the aver age country office does in a whole year. The Calliepian annual re-union will be held in the Normal Audi torium tomorrow evening, February 22nd. Music will be furnished by the school orchestra.
