-Phillipsburg thought she was do
ing "big thing" in electing Dave
Clark constable until the returns from
Arcade announced the election of P.
NJ. Lee, as constable of that township.
Arcade can take the cake.

port that T. n. Shinn had lost heav-
lily in sheep during the former cold
lstorm was incorrect. Mr.. S. informs
us that he only lost one and that from
some accident. With that exception
his flock is intact,

- Phillipsburg township elected
Dave Clark constable, who tips the
beam at PSI lbs, and was about to
challenge the State for the heaviest
weight constable, but when the re-
turns from Arcade come in, it has
NJ. Lee, who weighs over 800. Still
this leaves Phillips county ahead.
| = Commenting on the Mahuron
= Lord murder. The Wa-Keeney
World thi ,ks the plea that Wallace
county did not keep up it's organiza-
ton by electing officers and was not
properly attached for judicial purposes
to any other county will hardly bar
the hand of justice and let murderer
go free for want of a Court of compe-
tent Jurisdiction.
| H. S. Granger, our worthy ex-
Commissioner was caller at the HER
AID Office Monday. He looks as though
freedom from official cares agreed with
him. He is preparing to give more at
tention TO stock and farming, both OF
which Mr.. G. is a success at. By the
way, we hope the nation will not get as.
tonished should there be little boom in
Arcade townships stock interests the
coming season.

: Judge Pratt returned from Topeks
Saturday morning. He thinks there
/ is prospect for a good strong railroad
J bill being passed, Also that the law
will be changed as to the terms of tn,
district court, giving Phillips county
two weeks term, commencing OF
the 4th Monday in March instead o
one week commencing on the Sd Mon
day. This is much needed change
: and will enable the court to keep th'
J business we'll up instead of having t.
let large portion so over for want o
: time each term.
