Wellington Qui Vive: Last Monday
night, MIR. H. b. Corse started to the post
Office through the alley west OF the bank.
The night was very dark and as he reach
ed the office he saw the light shining out
Of the back window and, thinking 1t was
the open door, he started for 1t aud walk
ed into the open cellar Just under the
window. In the fall he was considerably
bruised about the body and has been con
fined to his o the greater part Of this
week.
We hope the fairness, moderation and
good commou sense for which the people
OF MAYHEM are Doted will prevail at the
coming election. We hope the judges ap-
pointed by the county court will step
aside and let the people select judges OF
the election. Let all things be done IN
dscencY and in order. Quarreling and
pickering will do no good. MAYHEM can.
not afford TO indulge In any wrangle, and
Lafayette county cannot afford to lose the
good influence Of MAYHEM for the ticket.

seen was brought to our office by Oscar
Jones, living on the farm Of j. O. Shack

live pig with two heads and four eyes,
two eyes between the heads and one eye
on each side Of the head. 1t is o natural

last night, and II 1t had lived, 1t could
have brought thousands Of dollars to MIR.
Jones as a curiosity.
I The old town fire department sounded
the fire alarm a few minutes past nine
o'clock, Wednesday night. Both fire de-
