Inasmuch as the people will get a large and varigated supply of politics within a short time, the good men of O’Neill wisely neglected to inject any of these elements into the municipal oampaign.

Sturgis Record: The Sturgis opera house management is to be oongratula* ted in securing such a really good at traction as the Sanford Dodge company. This company is strictly high class.

His death was caused by a oanoer on his face and a firm belief in Christian Science, which taught him that there was no disease and consequently no need of a physician’s holp. The Gazette has no tears to shed when the victim is a believer in this fool dootrine, but believes the strong arm of the law should protect the young and not com pell them to suffer disease and death through the criminal negligence of their natural protectors in not providing med ical aid in .sickness.
