The Pilot Knob Town government is in a
muddle. AT the April election, three new
members of the Board of Trustees-Messrs
kohlhaSe, Thompson and Ahrens were elect
ed, rice Messrs. Jaquith, Kaths, and Roden.
Two old members, Davis and Ebreacht, were
reelected. These two latter, with MIR All
rcns, refused to be qualified; but Kohlhage
and Thompson did qualify. They then went
to one of the-old members and told him they
were ready to take their positions on the
Board OF Trustees. 1t appears, however,
that the old Board had met In the meantime
and organized, and when the two new MEM
bers, Thompson and Kohlhage, applied for
admission they We're informed that 'the
Board was full" There was considerable
kicking by those interested in having the
Board changed, and who had worked for
that change in the late election, Mr.. Killa-
Ice, considering that the present Board was
not legal Board, refused to paw the taxes
they assessed against him, and still refuses.
Therefore a suit at law will be held at Pilot
Knob next Saturday, the full result of which
will be duly given our readers. We shall
have n reporter there.

What lies within its shadows, who can say?
What waits us there
Beyond our sight2
Hope or despair?
Or day or night?
Where flies the soul when it casts off tho clay!
All! who can tell?
Our loved ones die; through mists of binding
In deepest gloom despairingly we grope;
Forebcdingly we see the lonely years
Unlighted by their love- uucheersd by hope.
All! who can tell
Where are our dead?
Will all be we'll
When life is f.d?
Guard they our path Ger life's descending

All! who can tell?
We see the ceremonial winding sheet,
The toll of funeral bells we hear;
The last sad rites are paid, and grief complete
Fills all the heart with desolation drear.

af The lonely heart.
Can this be all

Ends life with coffin. shroud and funeral BIER

And new hope. of our great grief part,
In faith prophetic to the doubt replies:
"Bodies must die
Death is their goal,
Lowly they lie.
Not so the soul;
God keepeth that with ever watchful eyes
All will be WELL"
By sorrow proved, made pure by trials he-e,
The chastened heart looks upward for relief,
And holds in spirit that communion dear
Which is the well-sp-ing of this sweet belief
After the strife
