Town pOlLlcS are beginning W
warm up and there are innumerable
candidates in the field for the different
Offices. There are three candidates
for chairman as follows: Herman Fin
ger, S. w. Smith and JAS. Langill. R..
Slattery, Chas. Mcconnell and August
Myhawk have announced themselves
as candidates for the side-board, and
AL. Denton and one or two others have
also been mentioned for the same
place VIM. West and Chas. Slattery
have announced themselves as candi-
dates for town clerk and Chas. Mitch
ell and N. M. Emmons have also been
shoken of for the same place. So far
there has been but very little talk
about the other places on the ticket
and so far as we know no candidates
have announced themselves as yet.
Prof. James Walsh, principal OF our
high school, has been very sick for
several days with Inflammation of the
bowels. He was taken sick while in
school Thursday forenoon and had to
dismiss the scholars. He attempted to
90 home but grew worse so rapidly
that he could go no farther than Mr..
Severence's house, across the street
from the school and team had to be
sent up to fetch him home. For the
first two or three days he was in very
dangerous condition, and his brother
at Iron River was telegraphed for.
Yesterday he was decidedly better and
if he suffers no relapse will recover.
j. B. Rogers, J. E. Sullivan & Co S
gentlemanly manager, is about the
busiest man in town these days, still If
you drop in upon him at the old stand,
he will find time to show you the finest
line of fall and winter suitings ever
brought to this city. He does his own
cutting and he will guarantee you a
fit.
JOS Nemacheck and family will
soon be residents of this city again.
He has resigned his position as travel
ing salesman for Armour & Co., and
has returned to his first love. He ex-
poets to move his family back the fore
part of next week. when he will re-
sumo his former position as book-keep-
er for the Gerry Lumber Co.

LEGAL SERVICES.
SOMETHING ABOUT WHAT
THEY COST THE COUNs
TY DURING THE PAST
YEAR.

In our last issue we incidentally re-
ferred to the amount which this cOun-
ty had paid for the services of attor-
news during the past year.
It would seem that in county with
as small population as this, that the
district attorney should be able to look
after all of the legal business OF the
county, without assistance, and that
his salary of eight hundred dollars per
year was ample compensation for all
of the work in connection with that Of
fee.
The county board evidently consid-
cred the work to arduous for one man,
or else they lacked confidence in the
district attorney, as the following bills
which we copy will show:

The Proper Way to Eat.

AT a recent meeting of medical men
DR.. F. A. Burial spoke of the amount
of mischief done by the very common
habit of eating the meals rapidly, ac-
cording to the farmers motto of Quick
to eat and quick to work" Thorough
mastication was of the utmost impor-
tance, and of course, this presupposed
proper condition of the teeth. Gas
trio digestion was often weakened and
much distress was caused by the in
gestion of too much fluid with the food,
particularly at the beginning of meal.
Another factor in causing dyspepsia
was fhe habit of eating food in silence
or without that mirth and good fellow
ship so necessary to insure nervous
condition favorable to the normal ac-
tion of the digestive organs. These
little details might seem trite and un-
important, but it was the duty of the
careful physician to instruct his pa
tients in regard to them. The long
continued and free use of digestive
agents served to make the digestive Or
gans lazy and nactiye.-Medical Rec

Latest JeweIry Is Flexible,

FleNibility is the leading characteris-
tic of all the newest jewelry, many of
the diamond necl<lets being decorated
with flexible ends, in the forms of loops
and tassels, carried out entirely in the
same precious stones. diamond
corsage ornament has two flexible ends,
each being mass of tiny stones, sort
of diamond rain, dropping downward
from scroll-shaped top, and finished
with two large pearl drops. Many large
pearls appear, too, in the beautiful da-
mond necklace, which is so contrived
that it can be used when required in
the form of a tiara, or even as an orna-
ment for the bodice.

The scrubbing-brush treatment is a
cure for those blackheads which are
the bane of woman's life. Be sure you
get good face brush. Purchase a
cake of pure hygienic soap. The brush
should be used at night before going
to bed. Immerse the brush in hot wa
ter. Rub the soap over it until good
lather Is obtained. Scrub the face
carefully-not violently, but thor
oughly. One minute should suffice for
the scrubbing process. Rinse with
warm water and again with cooler wa
ter. Dry with soft towel. If the skin
is irritated by the unusual friction try
good cream or other emollient. The
greasy look will disappear under the
face-scrubbing brush also.-Chicago

WOMAN AND HOME.
MANAGING SERVANTS.
Teach Them Self-Respect and Always |
Keen Your Own

Teach Them Self-ResDect and Always
Keep Your own.
The best rule for managing servants,
in the opinion of writer in the Phila-
delphia Ledger, is a two-fold one, sim
pie in idea, complex enough, but still
possible to practice: Teach your serv-
ant self-respect and keep your own.
For instance, pleasant room to sleep
In, nice kitchen, with plenty of serv-
iceable cooking utensils, good brooms,
ample towels and busters, fixed duties
and regular hours; these give and keep
up self-respect in willing handmade,
be she cook or waitress She learns
to call your house her home, truly,
and to take pride in her work.
On your side an even temper. pleas
ant but firm oversight of necessary
matters, a systematic plan of house
keeping-all these keep up the mistress
self-respcct in dealing with her house
hold staff. AS soon as you feel that you
have been careless, or that you have
lost your temper in trying moment,
you realize that a false position ex-
lists that endangers your self-respect-
ing relation with your maid, just as she
feels, when her room is wretched, her
tools out of order, her hours of work
irregular and her training neglected,
that her standard is confused and de-
graded
The ideal mistress is always self
respecting, and, having provided the
essentials of self-respecting service,
may reasonably expect the ideal maid
TO live up to the opportunity. Ideals
are perhaps never fully realized, but
this especial ideal must be kept in view
if improvement, however gradual, in
household service is desired. 1t is easy
to remember; try it, and see If it does
not Oil the wheels of your home ma

SHABBY GARMENTS.
How to Make Old Clothes Look Al
most as Good as New.

most AS GOOu as New.
A woman of wonderful resources has
just discovered new and very sure way
of renovating and restoring to their for
mer appearance spotted, soiled or faded
cloth or serge gowns.
Pick about 20 ivy leaves, young green
ones by choice, wash them carefully
and place them in a jug or basin. Add
about one pint of boiling water, cover
up the basin or jug, and leave to soak
for two or three hours, when it will be
ready for use. Meanwhile the gar
ment must be thoroughly brushed in
side and out, and all untidy braid or
lining removed from the bottom. When
ready, spread it on the table, and care
fully sponge with ivy water. 1t must
then be hung out to dry, when it will
be found to have recovered its former
color and to lool; quite like new.
Black silk may be cleaned in the
same manner, but it needs more care.
If the silk is in breadths it must be-
lightly sponged and then tightly rolled
over a cloth wound round roller and
left to dry.
Black lace may also be renovated
when soiled or brown with age by
sponging with ivy water, and then roll
ing over a cloth wound round a roller.
1t should not be ironed.
Mix equal quantities of soft soap and
powdered starch with half the uuanti-
ty of salt; make into paste with
lemon juice. Lay this paste on each side
Of the mildew stains and let the article
lie out on the grass night and day till
the stains disappear. Soaking the
clothes stained in buttermilk for con-
siderable time, then washing them in
the usual manner, and finally leaving
them to bleach all night on the grass,
is an old-fashioned country method,
which is etfectual. Another is to make
paste of table salt and lemon Juice,
and lay this thickly on the spots, which
should have been previously wetted and
soaped; the linen so treated being left
in the open air to bleach for several
hours at least.
The best element in any of these
treatments is the nights bleach In
towns. where this is impracticable, the
best thing is to make solution of equal
parts of chloride of lime and common
soda in boiling water half pound
each of the lime and soda to three
quarts of water; dip the stains into this
for few seconds till they disappear.
then rinse the article in boiling soap
suds and send to the wash as usual.
Do not let the articles stay more than
few seconds in the solution, or it will
burn them. Whenever possible, do not
omit the night bleach. - Louisville

MONKS OF HIGH DEGREE.
German Monastery DeVOtees-They
Are Born in the Purple.

The pope has received in private audi
ence the able of the famous Abbey of
Benzon, at Seckau, in Germany, one of
the best known and celebrated monas-
teries, especially because of the high
station of the monks who are gathered
there. The able spoke separately and
in detail of each Of his dependent broth
er monks, and Leo XIII. heard with in
terest of their welfare. The monks of
the abbey include Prince Philip of
Hohenlohe, who has hidden a definite
adieu to the world; Father Charles, un-
der which name is concealed the iden-
tity of brilliant eX-cavalry officer, be-
longing to an illustrious house; Prince
Edward Schonburg-H -Hartenstein, and
Father Benedict, Father Sebastian, once
a major in the Saxon army, bearing the
name of Baron Won Ger; Father John,
who was Baron Won Drais, and ran
away from the court of Baden to EN-
brace this career; Father Nicholas, who
was Baron Won Salis-Soglio; Father
Hildebrand, who before assuming the
cowl and gown was brave captain, by
name of Count de Memptinne, and many
others too numerous to mehtion.
The Abbey Seckau is situated among
the mountains of Steermark. in thick
wild forest, and in 80 years has united
together Benedictine monks belonging
to the best known families, celebrated
for nobility or riches or distinguished
in the arts. This monastery, where the
rules are most rigorous, was founded
over 80 years ago by two brothers, Maui
rus and Placidus Wolter og Cologne,
two learned monks sent by Plus TX. to
Prussia to reorganize the mOnasteres
there, which were degenerating. The
pious Princess Catherine of Hohenzol-
lern offered them the ancient Abbey of
Benzon to establish new house. which
came into existence in 1868. Around
the two brothers there soon gathered
literary men and artists, especially
from Dusseldorf, in love with the splen-
dors of the Black Forest. who there
continued their work, so that there is
now an artistic school of Benzon. whic
may be said to rival the famous one Of
the italian Abbey of MoE;e Casino.
But at Benzon they not only 90 in for
the higher arts, but they make and pro-
vide everything for themseivcs.-Pall
