Suit has been commenced in conn
ty court by Charles K. Shaw con
testing the election of J. Koss Uarr.
The facts of the case are as follows:
In the village of Greenwood on the
fifth day of April an election was
held for the purpose of electing
five trustees. The other three mem
bers were elected and J. Koss Harr
and Charles K. Sluw each received
41 votes apiece according to the re
turns. A certificate of election
was given to J. Koss Harr, he
already being an incumbent.
Charles K. Shaw alleges that
there were five votes counted for
Uarr that should have been counted
Ir him, and that he is positive of
the same. If the allegations of
Shaw are true the vote stands Shaw
40 and Harr .

Watb Fruit Itoforc Eating It.
The following curious instance is re
ported by M. Schnirer of the ease with
which consumption gerins may be dis
seminated. While at work one day in
the laboratory of Weichselbaum, he
Bent for some grapes to eat. The fruit
had been kept for some time in a basket
outside the lavatory and was covered
with dost, 60 that the water in which it
was washed was black. On examining
it he reflected that, inasmuch as the
neighboring street was traversed by con
sumptive 'patients going !to the clinic,
the dust probably was charged with
tubercle' bacilli. To settle this, M.
Schnirer injected into three guinea pigs
ten cubic centimeters of water in which
the grapes had been washed. One ani
mal died in two days from peritonitis,
the two others died on the forty-eighth
and fifty-eighth days, respectively, pre
senting marked tuberculous lesions,
especially at the place of injection.'
The water in which the grapes had
been washed was taken from the faucet,
and the glass containing it had been
sterilized; neither , the boy who had
bought the grapes, nor the merchant
who had sold .' them, was consumptive
The cause of the infection was, beyond
doubt, the dust on the grapes. This ex
periment ' illustrates the danger arising
from the dissemination of . desiccated
tuberculous sputa in "the- air. IlalV

A Sort of Digital Depression.
Dm you ever notice when a man
smites his thumb with a hammer while
putting down a carpet under wifely
supervision and criticism . how quickly
he ; thrusts the bruised and throbbing
member into his ready mouth? People
think it is because the application is
soothing. . iut no; it is an involuntary
movement, same as winking. The man
cannot help it. Nature knows what the
man would be apt to say under the cir
cumstances, and so she has provided
him with a stopper and has ordained
that whenever he hits his thumb hard
enough to hurt and it doesn't take very
much to nearly kill a man when he is
doing something he doesn't want to by
a sort of interlocking system the thumb
flies into his mouth and Etops him up, so
that he can't say anything. Some men
whom you and I know should be pro
vided with an extra thumb which they
might carry about in their hand all the
time it wasn't in active use. It would
be a great thing, wouldn't it? Robert

An Anecdote of. Washington.
It was while, plunging through the
"leaden rain and iron hail," at the battle
of Monmouth that Washington's horse
was shot under him. The chief coolly
stepped from the prostrate charger, and
having received from the hands of an
attendant orderly a fresh horse, ready
caparisoned, he turned to the sable body
servant who followed him close through
all dangers, and without the presence of
whose ebon visage a picture of Wash
ington and his family would not be
complete, and quietly said-
"Here, Billy, take the saddle from
that dead horse and look out for it."
And then he dashed away to direct the
planting of Oswald's battery.
"Golly r exclaimed old Billy, as he
related the incident to one of the family
on his return home, "who ebber did
such a man as Mas'r Washington? Who'd
ebber V thought ob dat saddle but him?
I tell ye, mas'r remembers eberyt'ing
eb'ryt'ing down to de bery littlest."

The rules were then suspended and

Willard Deboid of Pawnee was

song, entitled "Our Billy:"
Say, voters, have yon seen younjr Bryan,
With his lif head stuffed witii wool.
Since he came hack from little K'hode
Island.
W here he thought he had a pullr.
He shot his wad at the hhhI old tariff.
But he found Tom Ieed at hay;
Bill took his hat and left very sudden.

Old Tom he say "Ho Ho."
It must be now the kingdom's comi
and the year of jubilee.
He took alon the same old chestnuts.
And the speech ypu've heard before;
His Mary's latubhe tried on K'hody,
But he only made them roar. ' .
They guyed our Bill, who talked like
parrot, i . ; 3
And they used his head for n chunk
On which to pile a lightnin.it majority,
And down in the wind he sunk.
When our farmers heard of Russia's
famine.
In her deep distress forlorn,
They freely tave the starving peasants
10,(100 tons of corn. . .
Then Bill was asked for a ship to move it,
But the heartless cuss said no,
I hope some day he'll be very huiiry
And have to eat 'biled" crow.

With his sweet and honeyed words,

A bejlfrin' for your votes.
But will he jret 'em'-
That's the question. .
Xo matter how he rants.
He'll hear a voice like this replying.
"Billy Bryan, your name is pants."
Tin-democrats run, ha ha.
The republicans say "you let,"
It must be now the kingdom's comiu'.
