Mystery Partially Cleared.

The body of John Sjoberg, the five
year old bow who disappeared from his
home in Scion Springs last May, was
found Thursday in swamp near his
home. The little fellow had evidently
wandered into the swamp and lost his
way. At the time of the disappearance
searching parties were organized all
over the county and the woods searched
IN all directions without avail. The find
ing of the body will at least dlspel the
cloud of uncertainty which has hung

I. X. CHRISTIE. Clerk.

Mr.. Gintber has gone to Milwaukee,
where he has taken his little seven
year-old son, Max, to have his eye
treated. Some ten days or two weeks
ago the little boy and some of his school
mates were playing with an ak, when
in some manner, no one will ever know
how, piece was broken from the blade
of the AK and a chip of the steel struck
the little Ginther boy in the eye. All
efforts to eXtrlCate the piece have failed
thus far and it il feared that unless it is
removed at once the little fellow will
lose the sight of his eye.
Our attention has been called this
week to the bills rendered by the electric
light company for lighting the First NJ.
K. Church during the months of July,
August and Septem ber. In July the
amount OF light used, according to the
metre, came TO - cents; the bill renl-
cred for the same was 800. In August
the lights were burned for every regular
service and the charge made was 81. In
September the same lights We're burned
practically the same length of time as
in August and yet the charge for same
was $50 an increase of l15 per cent.
These facts were given Us with the re-
quest that We figure out, if possible, on
what basis the company was charging
the church for the lighting service. On
inquiry We found that the July bill of
X was an attempt TO fix minimum rate
of s. per month, The trustees did not
agree to such an arrangement, and the
account Vas satisfactorily settled. They
are still trying TO account for the raise
Of Sl.15 fo1 September when the light
used il that month was tie same, rrac-
i all. IL IL August.
