1t is generally understood that Aid.
Meyer will be candidate for mayor
before the Republican city convention,
in case Mayor Currier should not be
allowed to go in again by general con-
sent. Mr.. Meyers friends feel that
his valuable services on the council
during the past two years are deserv-
ing OF recognitio by promotion. Mr..
Meyer is sound business man, and
has Loyalty supported Mr.. Currier in
the effort to reduce the floating debt
of the city. He would no doubt carry
out Mr.. Curriers' policy of econo my
if elected mayor.
In case that Mayor Currier was to
be continued in Office two more years,
Mr.. Meyer would be willing to accept
a reelection as alderman in the Fifth
ward, which he has so we'll represented
during the past two years

SPRING ELECTION.
Less Than Six Weeks Left
Until Then.
Talk as to Candidates is Beginning to be
Heard on the Street
Corners

weeks from next TUESDAY, ana ACTIVE
steps to prepare for it must soon be
taken. The council must at its mex
meeting appoint the judges of election,
so that this action shall come outside
of the twenty-five day limit. The city
committees are expected to furnish the
council with the names of the persons
whom they desire to have appointed
Judges. thus far not great deal OF
talk has been heard in regard to can
didates or possible candidates. 1t may
be that this apathy is due to the fact
that the people were stated with poll
tics last fall, or it may be that they
are satisfied with the way things have
been going in the city and therefore
do not take much personal interest in
making a change.
Mayor Currier has not yet declared
his position regarding a second term.
He believes that the time has not
come for him to commit himself. A
great many people in both parties have
been urging him to accept another
term, and he may consent to do so, but
the question arises How will his
name get on the ballot?" Two years
ago it was placed on by petition, and
unless one of the regular conventions
dominates him this spring he will
have to go on in the same manner.
There are only two ways that his name
can go on the ticket. One is by re-
ceiving the nomination from a politi-
cal party which cast at least one per
cent of the votes in the city in last
falls election. The other is by petit
ton containing a number of names
equal to ten per cent of the entire vote
cast in the city last fall. Names that
go on the ballot must be filed with the
city recorder on or before the second
Saturday preceding the day of cleo
ton.
There is no doubt that Mr.. Currier
could easily get more than enough
signers on a petition even if neither of
the old parties nominated him. The
politicians and party workers in both
parties are in favor of making straight
party nominations, and their wishes
are likely to prevail in the absence of
any organized effort on Mayor Cur
rier's behalf.
1t is very likely that Mr.. Currier
will consent to be candidate again,
if..promised sufficient support, and his
excellent record will make him for
midable candidate

THE RIGHT TAIAe 10 PUT ON.
(Dsnson's Plaster Is Pains Master.)

From the natural impulse to s'put some.
thing on" painful spot all applications
for the relief Of pain have arisen.
The most successful have ever been poul-
tees or plasters, and the best of these is
Benson's Porous Plaster.
No other has anything like the same
power as curative agent; it is highly and
scientifically medicated, and its standard
is advanced year by year.
Use Benson's Plaster for coughs, colds,
chest diseases, rheumatism, grip, neuralgia,
kidney trouble, lame back, and other all
ments that make Winter season of suffer-
ing and danger. 1t relieves and cures
quicker than any other remedy.
Do not accept Oapsicum, Strengthening
or Belladonna plasters in place of Benson's,
as they possess none of its curative power.
Insist on having the genuine.
The people of every civilized land have
testified for years to the superlative merit
Of Benson's Plasters; and 5000 physicians
and druggists of this country have declared
them worthy of public confidence.
In official comparisons with others, Ben
sons Plasters have been honored with
ffyyjsUe highest awards.
For sale by all druggists, or we will pre-
pay postage on any number ordered in the
United States on the receipt of Csc. each.
Accept no imitation or substitute.

Alex Sparkling, one Of Iowa's pioneers,
arrived last Friday from St. Johns,
Washington, for an extended visit with
relatives in Leroy and vicinity. He left
Decatur county nearly half century
ago, driving an OK team across the
plains to western Oregon and enduring
the many privations and hardships in
cident to such journey at that time.
There were very few people then living
in this county. the largest settlement
being, perhaps, at Garden Grove which
was inhabited chiefly by small band
of Mormons. He has lived in many
parts of the west and can tell some in-
teresting stories about the development
Of the vast territory west of the Rockies.

Word was brought to Osceola Tuesday
morning that MIR. Silas Shinn had been
found dead. hanging to tree in Nc
Cumber's hog pasture three or four miles
southeast of Osceola. He had been miss.
ing since the morning before and Q
party of searchers had hunted for him
Monday afternoon and Monday night.
About seven o'clock Monday he LETT his
home telling his wife he was going to fix
some fence. Some instructions were
given concerning some stock at the barn.
He did not. return at noon His wife
waited until three O'Clock and then
raised an alarm. When found Tuesday
morning he was black in the face and
had evidently been hanging all night.
The deed was done with a deal Of pre-
meditation. A short rope was thrown
into the notch of small tree. A piece
of stump had been carried some dis
lance and used to jump from when be
put the loop about his neck. His feet
were only two or three inches from the
ground. The suicide was SO clear that
a coroner's inquest was not considered
necessary. Inc DOdy was cut uOWn anO
taken to the home of his wife. Mi
Shinn and wife lived an a fifty-acre farm
about four miles southeast of town. He
was quiet, exemplary citizen, hac
lived here many years and raised a fam
lily of children. His age was about sixty
years. The unfortunate deed was prob.
ably due to temporary alteration o
mind. He had complained Of sever,
pain in his head just before leaving BIZ
