A Candidate for Mayor.

DR.. Geo. w. Aver modestly requests
theIndex TO announce his candidacy for
mayor subject to the action OF mass
meetings to be held between this time
and election day April 9th. A year ago
DR.. Aver was induced to enter the
race about three O'Clock in the after.
noon Of election day and when the votes
were counted he lacked only l6 votes
OF being elected. His name was not
printed on the ballot. This year he
proposes to enter the race before the
eleventh hour. His platform Is law
enforcement and public improvement.
He says several Of the present council
have urged him to become a candidate
and that is the reason he announces
himself. The Doctor has never been
known to desert his friends. The only
restriction he places on them Is that
the council must be in harmony with
him. If DR.. Aver gets on the track in
earnest he will create as much enthusi.
asm as Bergundthal in Topeka.

Where did that very common word
fudge" come from, and what does IL
really mean? The antiquarian Of the
Boston Journal saRp tae first appear
ance Of the word d. literature is the
description Of the cell of Lady Blarney
and Miss Carolina Wilhelmina Amelia
Skeggs on the Vicar of Wakefeld'a
household: But previously should
have mentioned the very impolite be-
havior of Mr.. Burchell. who, during
this discourse, sat with his face turned
to the fire, and at the conclusion of
every sentence would cry out .Fudgen
an expression which displeased us all,
and in some measure damped the ris-
ing spirit Of the conversation" Does
the word come from the provincial
French "fuche" or the Low German
"futsch"? Or shall we trace It to the
story Of 100 quoted by the elder
D'Israeli: There was, sir, in our
times, one Captain Fudge, who always
brought home his owners a good cargo
Of lies, so much that now aboard the
ship the sailors, when they hear a
great lie told, cry out, You fudge IT."

one Of the most interesting stories
that have come out Of the West.
John Gridley is a ranchman, at Grid
ley, Col. His principal product is
hogs, but he has several hundred
acres In wheat. His wheat has suf-
fered greatly from wild geese, and
neither scarecrow nor shotguns help
cd him out. So he stuck lot of
stakes in his fields and on each stake
he fastened a fish line and fish hook,
the latter baited with q pancake. The
first morning he had twenty-seven
geese. That afternoon he got four.
teen and the next day he got sixty.
two. He fed the geese to his hogs.
which seemed to like the unusual
food.-New York Commercial Adver
