Last week Deputy Marshal Sterling re-
oeived through the mail from some I'M
known friend an enormous penstock
and pen. The whole thing is. over foot
long. The stock is. three-ouarters of an
inch in diameter, and the pen is that
much in widtn, being about two inches
long. 1t comes to fine point, however
and since its arrival Mr.. Sterling has
written with it exclusively. 1t looks
more suita BILE for one of the police officers
to use as club than for its present
employment, but since the deputy mar
shall is so accustomed to handling big
men, perhaps the use of the big pen
seems very natural and suitable.

election of the late T. Frank ones to the
position of auditor. the Democrats having
no candidate in particular, and only very
few votes being thrown by them, SO that

necessitate the appointingtat the meeting

The election in Deering passed very
quietly and a lighter vote than usual was
polled. The Republicans elected Mr.. W. ".
Mitchell TO the mayors chair by the rousing
plurality of 297, very big victory. They
also elected all the remainder of their can
didates in all the wards except the alder
men in wards one and seven. These wards
are always close and Alderman Hanson. IN
ward one, failed of a reelection by only
two votes. In ward seven, Mr.. Libby's
majority over Alderman Goold was seven
teen votes. Thus the Democrats will have
two aldermen In the next city couLcil
Messrs. Hugh C. Cobb of ward one, and
Fred H. Libby or ward seven.
