Election Boards Tilt as Parties Contend Over Precinct Majorities
The article details how election law and a secretary of state opinion could assign board seats by precinct majorities, likely favoring Republicans with two judges and a clerk, Democrats with one judge and one clerk, and excluding Populists from boards. About 2400 precincts exist. Republicans control 1400, Democrats 800, Populists 400. Secretary Curren hopes Populist precinct trustees can offset losses locally.

Funston Returns to Kansas City After Philippine Campaign
General Frederick Funston and Lt. Burton J. Mitchell arrived in Kansas City at the Midland hotel on March 24 to visit relatives before Funston heads to Oakland California to bring Mrs. Funston and the baby to Denver where he will command the department of Colorado. Mitchell plans to join his superior in Denver next month. Funston, though recently operated on for appendicitis, says he feels better than ever and expects to remain in the United States for now with possible future duty in the Philippines. He recalls Aguinaldo's capture as the war continues to unfold and notes his preference to return to the Philippines someday. He may later move to head the department of the lakes in Chicago.

Water pressure gauge aids city fire service records
A new water pressure gauge at the fire department links to the pumping station. It records pressure every minute for ten minutes then every five, allowing officials to verify whether the water company delivers the claimed pressure during fires. The system helps identify pressure shortfalls and links incidents to past failures, such as a cold night that hindered a blaze at Palace Clothing Store. It also notes a related district federation meeting of Sixth District women’s clubs held in Smith Center with plans to hold future events in Beloit.
