The President has appointed Mel
vile w. Fuller to the office of Chief
Justice of the United States. Mr..
Fuller is Chicago lawyer, 81 years Of

pleased with the appointment and es-
TEEN him worthy Of the high office.

this year have been remarkably veri- |
fled thus far, the following for May |
may be of interest:
About the 9Th of May it will turn quite warm,
in storm Of lightning, thunder
and rain from the 9Th to the 9th, at the close of

And there cannot be too

road to the prairie. But until that can
be done, a little attention with the big
scraper which we believe the township
owns. would help it vastly. We hope
the nraner authorities will do what
