A DAILY LEADER reporter twitted
Judge Palmer this morning on his prob
able independent candidacy for the office
OF Judge OF this circuit court. But the
honorable gentleman replied: "When
you know that to be fact, just let me
know at once, as am not aware Of any
thing OF the kind myself" He said he
would like nothing better than to aspire
for that office aud see what Lake county
people thought OF him, but he could not
afford it and had no intention OF trying
it.
A Madison housekeeper casually filled
the tank OF her gasoline stove, and then
casually emptied the residue Of gasoline
into a convenient slop-pail. She then
casually lighted the liquid in the stove,
and then casually threw the lighted
match into the aforesaid slop-pail.
Whewl whizzl bangl and a streak Of fire
mounted the ceiling from the loaded
slop pail. "Oh, do come quick! The
house is on firep The little IL year-old
daughter OF the family left her studies
in an adjoining room and proceeding to
the kitchen. deliberately smothered the
tempest in the convenient slop-pail with
a floor rug. The housekeeper then

The Aberdeen News OF the 18th in a
write up OF the grain palace at that place
has the following to say of the Lake
county exhibit: "On the east side Of the
building, to the left Of the main entrance,
is nicely located the fine exhibit prepared
by and representing Lake county. This
10 one OF the most complete IN the Palace
and is complimented on all sides. The
display OF corn and the common grains
and vegetables is way up in all respects
and old Lake 10 TO be heartily com.
mended for the grand enterprise it has
shown. That it is one OF the best
counties in the state is quite apparent
The showing OF fruit--apples, native
plums, crab apples, etc.-is decidedly

North of the knoll on which Philander
Thomas house stands, on the east side
OF town, the dry run settles down into q
gulch, and in the bottom OF this gulch q
deep hole in which there is still five Oh
six feet Of water. Phil. has always had
a dread OF some animal falling down the
precipitous sides of this gully and being
drowned, but imagine his horror last
evening when he saw young woman in
a meditative mood walk deliberately
over there and disappear beneath the
banks. His first impulse was to rush
over there and snatch her from deadly
| peril, then modesty forbade; ehe might be
bathing. But he was sure il she attemp

do he did not know. Cold beads Of per.
spiration stood all over his forehead
Then another gentleman, who had seen
the wandering maid, appeared on the
scene from another direction and went
cautiously to the brink Of the chasm and
peered over the edge. Phil. watched
him at a distance and seeing, as he
thought, the man with hands half in all
standing transfxed, he could bear the
suspense no longer and rushed to the
rescue. Imagine his surprise and cha
grin as he looked over the bank to set
the lady strug-, no, sitting quietly be
side the pool fishing. "What in -- are
you doing there?" snarled Phil, wher
