Mr. Wright is a pleasing speaker and

Frank G Schmidt of Ewing.was the
successful applicant in the civil ser
vice examination held in this city on
March 2, for an assistant postmaster
of this city. Mr. Schmidt received the
appointment as assistant postmaster
and entered upon the discharge of his
duties in the local office last Monday.
We understand that some of the lad
ies stood higher in the examination
than Mr. Schmidt but the policy of
of the department is to have assist
ant postmasters of the sterner sex
when possible.

This office Is in receipt of a letter
from deputy lire ohief O. A. Randall,
relative to a law passed by the last
legislature. Mr. Randall says in part:
“A law passed by the last legislature
provides for a fire drill in the schools,
also that we shall prepare a text book
for the teaching of Fire Prevention In
the public, private and parochial
schools of the state, and that the
state superintendent shall distribute
these books to every teacher in the
public, private and parochial schools,
and that every teacher shall devote
not less than one half hour each
month In teaching Fire Prevention
from lessons that are prepared by the
Fire Commissioner. For some reason
or other a large number of the county
superintendents and a greater number
of the teachers are not complying
with this law. I Just returned from a
speaking tour in the schools and to
the public, and was in eight different
towns and in six different schools. Not
one of the schools in any of these
eight towus were complying with this
law, not knowing that the are Jeop
ardizing their right to the state ap
portionment. If this is a fair index
of the way in which this law is being
complied with the efforts that we
have put forth in providing these
books are practically lost.
Tom Enright and Arthur Ryan had
quite an experience while out hunting
last Sunday. The boys were in a rig
oyer on dry creek, which was not very
dry at that time as the creek was
a couple of miles wide. .When
north of Fred Vitts house Art got out
of the buggy to work up toward a
dump of willows where be thought
he would get a chance to get a shot
at a bunch of ducks they had seen
light near there. He had taken only a
oouple of steps from the buggy when
he went down over his head and the
ourrent was so swift it carried him in
toward the creek. He floated along
until he got to a clump of willows
where he managed to hang on, while
Tom unhooked the horses and started
after him on horseback, intending to
get as close to him as possible while
the horse had footing and then threw
blmallne and drag him out. Tne
horse Tom was on only took a cocple
of steps until it was compelled to
swim, as the water was over their
heads. The horse did not make very
good headway but managed to get to
within a few yards of Art when it got
good footing and Art mauaged to float
to where they were. The horse then
was headed back to land and landed
safely with both boys none the worse
for their experience except a good
scare and a good ducking, Instead of
ducks. Heseafter they say that dry
land hunting is about all they will
care for._

The above was the result of the city
election held last Tuesday. While the
election was very quiet and the voters
were apparently not paying much at
tention to the election a very large
vote was polled, In fact the largest ever
polled at a city election, totalling
325 votes in the three waids.
O. F. Biglin was re-elected mayor
over Sheridan Simmons by a majority
or 80 votes. Mr. Biglin carrying ail
three wards. Herb Hammond was the
race horse of the contest as he was re
elected city clerk by a majority |of 136
over Charles Reka. The race for city
treasurer was the closest contest in
the campaign and resulted in the re
election of James F. Gallagher over
Claude nancock by a majority of sev
en votes. There was no nominee lor
police judge and the voters wrote in
the names of several of our citizens
whom they thought would fill the po
sition. In the canvass of the VGtco uo |
made by the council Wednesday eve
ning it' was found that Fred Gatz,
present police judge, had received 51
votes while his nearest competeter
was Henry Mills who received 35
votes.
T. D. Hanley and James B. Ryan
were the aldermauiac candidates in
the First ward and the voters of that
ward were of the opinion that either
gentlemen would serve them satisfac
torily upon the board and when the
ballots were counted it was found
that they had each received 55 votes.
In the to;s for the position Ryan won
and he will represent the first Ward
upon the council for the nest two
years
In the Second ward P. D. Mullen,
Col. Neil Brennan and George Gib
bons each aspired to represent the
ward upon the council and when the
ballots were counted it was found
that Pat Mullen had come under the
wire winner, having a lead over Bren
nan, his nearest competeter, of 16
votes.
In the Third ward there was also a
three cornered fight. R S. Hilliard
who has been representing the ward
by appointment, succeeding William
Froellch who died a year ago, was a
candidate to succeed himself, and he
was opposed by Sam Barnard and
Charles Davis Hilliard won out hav
, Ing received 11 more votes than Barn
ard, his nearest competeter.
Dr. Glliigan and Col. Brennan had
no opposition for members of the
board of education and they were
elected to succeed themselves.

Why He Was Late.
“What made you so late?”
“I met Smithson.”
“Well, that is no reason why you
should be an hour late getting home
to supper.”
“I know, but I asked him how he
was feeling, and he insisted on telling
me about his stomach trouble.”
“Did you tell him to take Chamber
lain’s Tablets?”
“Sure, that Is what he needs „ Sold
