III. Poffenber was quite spirited and
kept everybody guessing as to out
come. While the votes were being
counted, Bundy would be ahead and
then Poff would catch up. 1t wasn't
settled until the last vote was count
ed. which was for Poff. The vote
was Bundy, 40; Poffcnberger, Al. Ow-

only three ladies voted. The balance

Last Monday morning the quiet of
our little city was somewhat ruff1ed
on account of the supposed suicide of
Henry Wilton which occurred about
o'clock in the stable in the rear of
Walter Olsons residence. Henry tells
this story: He arose about Il. M,
went to his stable to saddle his horse,
and while there some unknown per-
son shot him in the head and robbed
him of 5000. After the hold-up Hen
ry walked to his home in the Hunter
house DIR. Jones was called and he
found Mr.. Wilton in precariOus con-
diJion. He was shot about one-half
inch above the right ear and another
wound in the left thumb. The doc
tor probed for the bullet but couldn't
locate it. There is mystery surround
ing this affair, and our people are
loaJhe to believe Mr.. Wilton's story
of the hold-up. We have come to the
that Mr.. Wilton finding
that he was financially embarrassed,
and thinking that if he could infiict
a scalp wound, and thus stave off his
creditors, which are many, compro-
mise might be made Henry seems
to have been initiating the famous
cattle plunger-Gillette-i his cattle
transactions. No less than six cattle
men have been here looking up cattle
belonging to Henry, but they can't
find any cattle. Report says he is
short about $40, 900. AS we go to press
Mr.. Wilton is still in the land of the
living with good prospects of recovery

spain,s Great BniIdine.

Spain possesses one of the largest buildings in the world Ii l. at once a palace, a museum, library, a picture gallery, a monastery, church and a burial place. This wonderful edifee is called the Escorial, although the name is very generally corrupted both in England and America into "Escuri- al"
 The Escorial was commenced in 1563 by order of Philip II. of Spain and was intended partly as 8 royal burial place for the kings of Spain and partly as commemoration of Philips victory over the French at St Quentin in 1857. It is built entirely of granite, and measures TAI feet in length by 580 feet in breadth. At each corner is a tower 200 feet in height. The building Is supposed to represent an enormous gridiron lying upside down, and this shape is believed to have reference to St. Lawrence, who was martyred on gridiron.
 Twenty-one years were spent in building it. and 1t cost $12,0OOO O0O. It has been twice partly destroyed by lightning and was sacked by the French soldiers i'll 1908. There are 4,00O doors and 11000 windows.

A WONDERFUL CLOCK.
rhs Nearest Approach to Perpetual

rhs Nearest Approach to a Perpetual
 Motion Machine Yet Discovered.
 A Kankakee county, H., man is ths .possessor Of one Of the most wonderful clocks in the country. This clock is as near a perpetual motion machine as any piece of mechanism yet designed. The owner is not perpetual motion crank, but is q jeweler named Peter M. RavenskHde of Cabery, town in the southwestern portion Of Kankakee county.
 The clock is the product of many years of study and labor and consider able expense. It keeps accurate time and will run for year without tho least attention from it's owner.
 The clock proper is run with wheel 60 inches in circumference. From the outer surface of the circumference was suspended 120 cups, each one-half inch in diameter and q third of an inch deep. Each of forty of these cups. which are successive, contain steel balls three-eighths of au inch in diam- eter.
 Every mlnuteand half as this wheel turns by the weight of these balls one of them falls out of its cup, rolls down an inclined plane 20 inches long. when, by it's own weight, 1t reunites a broken circuit of electricity and is again ele- vated by 8 little car travelling along a sleeper inclined plane to the top of the wheel, where it falls into cup which stands vertical for q short time.
 After the ear discharges it's cargo it returns to it's original station from it's own weight. From the time one of these balls is dropped into cup until it is again dropped into another cup 1t travels S6 inches. Thus the work done by all the balls is equivalent to one ball travelling over one mile a day, 400 miles in one year, and during the life- time of a person living threescore years the distance around the globe.
 The electricity used is generated in an ordinary storage battery, which does not require any attention for fully a year.

A High Railway.

The highest mountain railway in Europe, leading to the top of the Cor ner Grat in Switzerland, situated be- tween the Matterhorn and Monte Rosa, is about completed. It was begun in 1896.
