The spring election the first of next
month, will call for the following candi-
dates: .
Mayor,
City Recorder,
Treasurer,
One alderman in the LIST, end, 3rd,
wards, and two in the 4th ward.
The aldermen whose term of Office
expires are
III. Hillesheim, LIST ward,
Mic. Weis, End ward,
q. &. Burt, 3rd ward,
John +. Mcaghcr, 18th ward,
g. l. Lidgerwood, 4th ward, resigned.
Under recent law passed by our leg
islature, the mayor will draw salary
of 800, which will probably prove an
extra incentive. The mayor appoints
the chief of police and al his assist
ants.
1t is not generally known that the
salaries of the county auditor and treas.
urer Of this county have been in II
rather mixed condition, and that until
last week the above officers did not
know but what they had overdrawn
their dues, for under the decision OF
Attorney Genera! Wilson, counties OF
from seven TO ten million dollars Valua-
ton, entitled the above officers to So 1000
salary, but subsequent decision by
the present Attorney General, counties
of from six to eight million dollars
valuation, gave their auditor and treas
urer only 81 800 salary, and as this
county would come under the latter
decision, it was very evident that both
of the above officers had drawn $500
each year above what the decision OF
the latter Attorney General allowed.
But last week the Legislature legalized
the decision of Attorney General VIII
son, and thus the matter is remcdied.
We received II letter Tuesday, from
Harry w. Mills, of Austin, who was
associated with the Red Jacket Mill
Company unit! the mill WAS burned,
and then took charge OF the
Red Cedar Mills" at Austin, in which
he Informs Us of the very narrow escape
of Mr.. James Donelson, who is known
by many of our citizens, as the mill
wright ut the old Red Jacket mills SIX
teen years ago. Mr.. Mills says that
they were making some repairs in the
mill last week, and Mr.. Donelson,
instead of stopping the machinery,
undertook the work while it was run
ming, and while reaching over the gear
that drives the chop conveyor, his coat
caught in the gear and in moment
was wound around the shaft. lie cried
for help but ere that could be afforded
his body was stripped Of every stitch Of
clothing except his boots and stockings,
and so much clothing had wound
around the shaft that it was thrown out
of gear, thus saving the mans life. He
received a broken rib and other bruises.
