Two Tickets.
Last Thursdaj * a petition was cir
culated for an opposition village
board , and the names of the following1
will appear on the ticket next Tues
day under the heading1 ' 'By Petition : "
W. W. Thompson , S. "W. Holsclaw , J.
O. Vincent , G. H. Hornby , O W.
Morey. These gentlemen are good
men , but we do not know why the
ticket should be in the field. The ad
ministration of the village could cer
tainly be no more economical than it
now is , if the3' were elected , the laws
would be no better enforced , and if
all we hear is true taxes would cer
tainly be higher. Up to date we have
heard no real kick on the way the
present board has conducted itself ,
and we feel certain that the majority
of our citizens will vote for the Citi
zen's Ticket , as follows : C. H. Cor
nell , D. S. Ludwig , T. C. Hornby , P.
P. Simons and E. Sparks.

We have never met Mr. Good , but
from what we have heard of the
gentleman we believe he would be a
good second , and as we never fight
anything but a duel and that to the
death , he may be called on to act in
the above capacity. We mean as a
second.
This begins to look like business ,
and we have already burnisaed up
our deadly 22-calibre pistol , laid in a
