A Dificult Undertaking Accomplished in a Week. i NEW WAY OF VOTING POPULAR. The Baker ballot law. which. but 1 few weeks prior to the election.

was ridiculed and abused along with its author in almost every district of the State, today rinds its warmest supporters among those who; were before its Hercest enemies. From every corner of the State, aimost. come words of praise for the new system. Voters gencrally were so well instructed by the leaders of their parties that compara-1 I tively few mistakes were made in casting the ballots. The quietness which surrounded the polling places.

the absence of heelers and those only business at the polls is to intimidate voters. was 3 pleasing change. and indications are that with 2 few minor changes system must find favor in the eyes cf every fair- minded man. Probably the most important of these changes would be the quantity of paper used and the iength of time allotted the printers for getting out the work. Six days is the time designated by the law for completing the work and de iTering it to the county commissioners.

This is a pretty big contract for the average country printing office. and it GOV serious mishap should berall the press disfranchisement while the work is in progress of the entire county might result. It caused many county tosend to the city for printing. paying prices for it. for in fear time.

Including the cub it erntained over 30 noparie! ems and pieces of bras rule. The following Wednesdas night at 10 clock the die on the press napped down the ticket. the amount which the said was indi-: ana county's quota. During the run 3 changes were made in the form. that being the number of voting precincts in 2.

i toe county. Over 2.000 pounds of No. book paper were used. As tickets were printed 12 girls. empiored especially for the purpose, gummed corners under which the number of the colleted was the ballots secreted.

as they The gummed girls them. also I This was hardly Decessary as the automatic counter on the GAZETTE press regis- tered each ballot as a revolution was made, but was done merely as a matter of absolute safety. After the tickets were printed and gummed there came another tedious task. They all had to be fastened together into books and then put up in packages, four for each district, carefully tied and sealed. Each voting precinct received two com- a plete sets of ballots, an equal number of official and specimen ballots.

The employes jumped quickly to work, all anxious to get office cleared of the cumbersome job, and on Friday morning, Norember 4. the tickets were turned over to the county commissioners. one day before the cantract required. Center county claims to hare first in the feld with its ballots competed. Its ballots were delivered to the commissioners Thursday.

Norember 3, one day before Indiana county. OUTSIDE AID NOT NEEDED. All of this gigantic piece of work tras done right here in Indiana. Not a bit of outside assistance was required and not an error or mishap of any kind occured to delay the work. During the voting on Tuesday the superior quality of the work i was plainly desce rnible.

The tickets; came off the stabs readily and without effort: the stickers suck as firmly the to the i ticket in secreting number as arerage roter did to his party: the rooks into: which bailots were bound did not come apart but remained firmly intact. and last. but most important of ali, the cost to Indiana county is away below the average price paid in other counties of the State. Do the people appreciate this? Well. rather.

They know who has the good of the county at beart and are not going to be policy influenced of jealous by the rivals. Do oh the county commissioners appreciate it? Read for yourself what Commissioner Cameron has to say: "The work suited as exactly. We perfectly satisfied. The hallots. were printed according to contract: prere, delivered promptly and at about one half, the price paid either Armstrong or.

West Of course what is satisfactory to GAZETTE patrons is gratifying to the GAZETTE. It turns out more job work than any other office in town, but during the week the ballots were printed much of it bad to be sacrificed. Last Monday there were shipped the last of 3 000 S0-page books, to G. A. McFetridge.

at Speonk, L. a poultry fancier who contracted with this office to print these volumes. When orders come from such a distance it is evidence that GAZETTE does good work. Yet this only a sample of what is constantly being done by the Indiana Publishing Company. The people who want job work are always looking for the cheapest and the best and know where to come for it.

MOCK- MILLER. Former Indiana Lady Married In Idaho. Cards were received in Indiana last week announcing the coming marriage of Mr. Fred G. Mock and Miss Annie R.

Miller at the home of Mr. and Mrs. James A. McGee, Nampa, Idaho. Miss Miller is well-known in Indiana.

THE START MADE MONDAY. Interested Crowds Watch the Work the First Day. A FIRST-CLASS ESTABLISHMENT. from an imported clay. THE STARTING.

All was in readiness the starting of! The Indiana glassworks are are in operation. The first giass made in the new factory was turned out on Monday afternoon in the presence of a crowd of about 250 citizens of Indiana. Superintendent Vandersaal had invited the public be present, ard they kept coming at all hours of the afternoon. What they saw was interesting enough to pay well for the walk of a mile or more that most of them bad to take to reach the works. Preparations for making glass have been progress for some days.

As announced in the GAZETTE. the fires were started Tuesday, November 1. Last Friday the i pots were set difficult and somew bat warm operation. A GAZETTE reporter 1 went down and witnessed it. Two crews of men were at work: or rather one crew bore the heat and burden of the toil white the other rested and got ready to face a tire that would make any one not accustomed to furnaces wilt merely to look at.

When all was in readiness few delft strokes o. the workmen brought the wall that concealed the pot down, and bricks at a white beat lay around in uncomfortable proximity to tender feet. Then a two wheeled carriage of iron was brought into use, backed up to the furnace and the projecting ends shored under the pot. i The latter was lifted to the desired height. and quick hands placed substantial supports to keep it in position.

Then the tire bricks were put in position one by one, each requiring several men to handle, at the end of long tongs which allow the men to keep 10 feet away from the tire. Then dabs of mortar Were applied until the wall stood solid and rirm again. and only the mouth furnace could be opened. This operation bich is far less easy than the riling-u2 repeated success: ca fur the ten pots. hate 9t until a rot ebazeus to break.

last Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Judge White made a brief but pointed speech to the assembled spectators. telling of the benetits likely to accrue to this coummunity from the establishment of this new industry. Then, at a given signal. the different employes took their places and in a few minutes admiring groups of ladies and children were standing as near as they dared to the workmen who were dexterously fashioning the molten material from furnace into lamp shades, 10 and 14 inches in size; molasses jugs, salt and pepper bottles, tumblers, gobiets, wine glasses, etc.

These are only a few of the many articles that will he manufactured when the works are full operation. It is the intention to manufacture a full line of table ware, but handsome specialties that when decorated will be both ornamental and serviceable. In addition to the articles already enumerated it is the intention to manufacture sewing lamps, library, parlor and banquet lamps. which will be trimmed in brass, nickel and silrer; mucilage bottles, lantern globes, sugar bowls, cream pitchers, spoon-holders, sugar shakers, salt and pepper shakers, large ale and soda glasses, etc. For the decorative department, in which the patterns are all of fine designs were receired from Paris on Monday.

The best will be used in decorating, and these also are imported. THROUGH THE WORKS. A GAZETTE reporter made a tour of the new establishment. finding it very complete in ail its appointments. Even the uninitiated can see that careful provision has been made for enconomizing and facilitating the work done.

The building.now complete, is S0x240 feet. with a basement. On the lower floor are the blacksmith's shop. boiler house. engine room and sand bin.

On the main Hoor the most striking object is the big 10-pot furnace in which the material for making the glass is melted. To the rigat and left are the "glory holes." used for finishing the glass. Extending up and down the center of the room are four 65-foot leers. for annealing or tempering the ware. These hare a movable platform or pan.

as called, that extends from one end to the other. When the ware is first placed in the leer it is subjected to a rery high degree of heat, which godally lessons. the minimam being reached at the end where the ware is drawn ont by the leersman. For running the pans back to the end of the leer near the furnace leersman there knows 19 an elevated railroad. The how fast the pan must be moved, and when the ware reaches his end of the leer the tempering is done.

Thence the glass goes to the sorting tables beyond the leers. Thence after being sorted it is taken to the decorators, for whom two rooms are proIn their department is also a special decorating kiln for firing the ware and fixing the colors. The ware returned from the decorating room to the packing room, where it is again sorted, packed and made ready for shipment. Two sliding doors open from this room to the railroad track, and the goods are there loaded upon the cars. OTHER DEPARTMENTS.

Down stairs in the mold room there is good deal of interesting machinery. Here will be found an iron turning lathe. wood turning lathe, scroll saw, drill press and shaper, the latter 8 device for planing iron, swirel vises, all of which are used in making molds for different articles. The mold room is one of the most important in the whore establishment, and its work cannot cease, if the managers would keep up with the times. There is a constant demand for something new and the mold room is there to give shape to the new ideas that are developed.

Natural gas is used all through the works except in the furnace. There coal is burned, but a Murphy gas producer, generating gas dierect from the coal, furnishes a heat that is constant. steady and easily regulated. The coal is consumed below and ignites on reaching the mouth of the Er nace. The device is a new and ical one.

To supply the works with of which great quantities are there is a well 150 feet deep from which the water pumped into 75-barrel tank loosted abore the roof. From this point it is tributed the different departments desired. The building is heated throughout by steam. Commodious sample rooms a pleasant, well lighted office are located at northeast corner of the building. Of the force engaged for works, 50 are now at work and this number will be running increased at full to 75 capacity within the ten works days.

To a certain efforts elaborate program was promised for the were successful. The Democrats of Indian3 are scarcely numerous enough to make a very big crowd, but on thisoccasion they were reinforced by visiting tions from Saltsburg, Blacklick, Homer City, Graceton and the country within a radius of three or four miles of town. With these additions the procession WaS very creditable. The first approach of night was beralded by a blast from scores of tin horns, whistles and other auxiliaries to campaign celebrations. The streets were packed from the Indiana to the railroad.

The women played a conspicuous part in the celebration. the prettiest maiden seeming to hare selected the horns with the ciscordant notes. The arrival of the train set ererything in motion. Headed by Apple's Cornet Band the Democracy started on its triumpbant march. Immediately following the band came a delegation of enthusiastic Democratic girls from the Normal School.

Down the middle of the street through mud two inches deep tramped the dainty damsels. I regerdless of the mire. Red lights glared on all sides; Roman candles popped exultantly and an occasional rocket hissed across the sky. The noise was deafening. After a parade of the principal a meeting was held in the Court House.

addresses were delivered Miller. of Pittsburgh, James Cowan, ex-assemolyman fro! West land county, and Prof George Bible. of the Normal School. The sr eeches were short and suited the crowd. A special tran conreved the visiting Democrats to their homes at 11:30.

and back again, the procession to stop in the most prominent place along the route and the uncess-; ful bettor to propose the three cheers for Clereland. In the event of Harrison's success matters were to be reversed. About 11 o'clock the procession started, headed by the Apple's Cornet band. Mr. Clawson was seated on the top of a barrel standing on end wheel-barrow.

He was attired in a fur orercoat and wore a silk bat which at intervals was remored in acknowledgment of the cheering along the route. Arrived in front of the Court House a balt was called and Mr. Clawson. in a loud. distinct voice proposed three cheers for "Grover Clereland.

The band then escorted the party to the place of beginning, and bet was paid. Mr. Clawson is a prominent Republican and was at one time a strong candidate for the nomination of county sheriff.

He carried out his part of the agreement to the bettor and perer once lost his dignity during the ridiculous proceedings. CUPID FIRES ANOTHER DART. Mr. WIll L. Earl and Miss Dora E.

The big water tank at the depot, recently erected for the purpose of suppiying water to the engines hefore their departure down the Braneh, is to be ntilized for another purpose. Some time ago Engineer Wagle, of the passenger train, complained of the water. alleging that it was not of proper quality for boiler, and it contained substances destructive to iron. A quantity was hottled and sent to a chemist, who pronounced it perfectly pure, and free from any destroying elements. There is tore than enough water in the well for the engines, however, and so the railroad company is going to kill two birds with one stone.

A trench is being dug from the depot to the stockyards and the water will be conveyed thence through pipes for the stock. A number of neat substantial troughs will be built. The trench will be over 1,100 feet in length. Bold Burglars at Blairsrille. A thief entered the residence of E.

Considerable money changed bands in Indiana on the result of the election. The Republicans always hare enough faith in their candidates to back them financially for any amount within their limit. This rear was no exception. They kept putting up the "stuff" as fast as Democrats could corer it. and as a result Grover Clereland's election netted bis admirers here a small fortune.

One prominent business man is said to be over $500 ahead while those who are winners by from 275 to 2100 are quite numerous. There are more new Democratic hats in town than were ever before noticeable, and the more conspicuously they can be displayed the better satisfied seems the lucky wearer. A Ercellent Company.
