How about the fire alarm? Does it
not look as though it would be a saw
ing investment for the city to provide
some quick method of giving the alarm
in case of fire? If there had been
high wind Thursday last the damage
would have been great before assist
ance was called out.
Judge Clark pronounced sentence
upon Bur. Cofer to fifteen years in the
state penitentiary, Saturday of last
week. This ends one of the criminal
cases which have been terrible expen-
sive to this county. We have no COM
ment to make upon the sentence. A
fair trial was given and the law will be
carried out.

The new stone school house at No.
56, Albion township, near Everligh's
store, is one of the incest district
school buildings in the county. 1t is
a substantial, stone building, and is
well suited to the substantial farming
community surrounding it. Miss
Matthewson is at present teaching the
school, and has an enrolment of 81
scholars.
Is an old soldier who fought in the
union army faithfully and we'll and
then came home and voted, according
to his belief and convictions, the dem
ocratic ticket, disgracing himself
thereby? One of the republican coun.
ty candidates at speaking in Eureka
township, stated that he was. Will |
you put any faith in the men and the
party which holds that kind of belief
and teaches that kind of doctrine.
We are told that Mr.. Chapman and |
other republican speakers are trying
to make out that E. l.. Hotchkiss stat.
ed, in his speech in Liberty township
that "when you pay s1.OO for 8 |
blanket you pay 80 cents tariff and 10 |
cents for the prica OF the blanket in
the old country" What Mr.. Hotch-
kiss did say was that the tariff was 80 ,
per cent, on wool blankets, when you
paid 50 for blanket almost half Of it /
was tariff. e. 90 cents OF the So. ,

IOl
schauf, of Beaver township, was in
the city the first of the week, getting
acquainted with the people whose in
terests he is expecting to look after
after the first of January next. Mr..
Schaut is gentleman Of unaoubted |
integrity; Of good financial ability, and
as his name indicates, a German, with
all the sterling traits Of character
possessed by good Germans. The coun-
ty affairs, if looked after by Mr., sehauf;
will not be reaklessly manipulated,
YOU may rest assured. We have been
fortunate in getting men az cn.,ntv
commissioners, who hs-5e we believe
90 =" soH0iA' ming used the best judg-
ment, and no vote can possibly be cast
amiss if cast for John Schauf for
commissioner from the second district.
