It's still very much of a still hunt
among the politicians who are seek
ing to land the county offices. All
insist that they are the only ones.
There are about nine offices and
about twenty candidates, so some
body is sure to be disappointed.
The lineup ought to materialize
very soon now, as the caucuses are
only about two weeks off.
Another street fakir has been

According to the Ashland papers
the ball team of that city lost the

that anything of that kind should
happen to "batty'' aggregation
like the Ashland ball team.

The twenty-six young men W no enjoyed
the week at Tunk, camp Sullivan, are re-
citing adventures which make their eld-
ers green with envy. Besides the fun in
camp on That big rainy day. seventydv
fish and big otter were the game they
bagged. The otter was discovered while
all hands were enjoying The fine skating
Wednesday. Then a scene equal to a
Spanish bull fight was witnessed when
the boys proceeded to kick the stutiin'
out OF him.. Just who did the bloody
work is hard to say, as the otter was com
pletely surrounded by circle OF brave
and determined men. They took their
prize to Mr.. Bowles who gave the boys a
n-dollar bill for the skin.

SUMMERING ON STREET CARS,
A Couple of Seasoned Globe Trotters
See New sights In
Chicago.

A gentleman and lady who have
been TO Europe six times and around
the world once, and over to Japan on
a special hunt, and who have invaded
Mexico and Alaska and the West In
dies, are spending this summer on
the street cars of Chicago, says the
Chronicle. They were born and grew
up here and no one knows better the
road to the Auditorium. the Country
club, the Fine Arts building and the
Art institute than they. They can
tell you who occupies almost every
house along certain North and South
side streets, but they are as igno-
rant of the great city of streets which
make up the commoner thorough fares
of this town and of the diverse people
which comprise its amazing homo
gcneity as they are of Constantinople
perhaps more so. So they are fol-
lowing the plan of taking the car lines
that run from the heart OF the city
and connecting with cross lines and
suburban extensions, never repeating
their journeys if they can help it.
They say they are intensely inter-
ested and their camera bears witness
to many peculiar discoveries. They
attend churches and theaters in which
not word of English is spoken and
they find strange communities of peo-
ple-Lithuanians. Icelandmen, negroes
and whites mixed anu intermarried, a
few Malays, very populous Chinese
community, an intellectual Swedish
circle among those who appear to be
nothing more than busy working folk;
strange religious sects and societies,
some medieval. some only few
months old. The life of the social
settlements is so much more extensive
than they supposed it to be that they
are greatly interested. The clustered
men and women are astonishingly nu-
merous when the character of the city
is considered; so ere the mystical So
cieties of oriental declension.
"They say that one-half the world
has no idea how the other half lives"
said the gentleman, shut am quite
sure that we Americans Of what we
are pleased to call the upper Glass
you might call us the stupid class, IL
you pleased, and not be far wrong
have no idea at all of how the other
nineteen-twentieths live in this amaz-
ing city of ours"
