We note that our friend John Coon,
former excellent citizen of Forest coun-
| ty, is announced as a candidate for coun-
Gilman from the first ward, in the thriv-
ing little city of Kane. The Job Is usually
thankless one at best, with no pay and
only curses as perquisites, but If such
men as Mr.. Coon are willing to make
the sacrifice in the interest of their town
we should be disappointed if the citizens
did not promptly elect him.
Under the juvenile Court Act it be-
comes necessary for every county to pro-
vide the Sheriff suitable place where
child criminals may be kept, separate
and wholly apart from other prisoners.
To meet this. requirement the Commits

the brick building near the Jail put in
comfortable condition for the rentention
Of any of this class of criminals that may
be caught in the laws meshes.
Caution The printing of your name
and address III the corner of your Clvel-
opes may save your letters from being
opened. 1t is now proposed by the Gov
ernment to open letters upon which
postage stamps have not been placed, in
order to learn who the writer is, and to
prevent their being sent to the dead let
ter office. The REPUBLICAN office will
furnish you printed envelopes cheaper
than you can buy envelopes without
the printing.

Beats AL how some people can find
snakes without half trying, and under all
kinds and conditions of weather. while
others spend all their earnings and suffer
untold tortures before they "begin to see
'em."
BY recent order of the Postofiice De-
partment, rural mail carriera are direct
ed to collect all unstamped letters found
in mail boxes along their routes and
bring them to the postoflice from which
their route is operated, where they will
be held, subject to the same treatment as
unstamped mail matter deposited direct
ly at the office. The department holds
that mail boxes, although not govern
ment property, are distinctively for gov
ernment use.

"A team belonging to w. j. Campbell
took fright while standing on the tie
platform at the Pennsy station, last Fri
day, and ran away, scattering the un-
loaded ties in all directions. They ran
down to the river beach and started on
the ice up the river. When up near the
end of the long switch one of the horses
broke through the ice and would have
drowned had not its mate kept its feet
holding the others head out of the water.
No material damage was done.
Miss Sarah Jackson, of near Indian
apolis, Miss of 20 years, missed man
forty years ago and feeling that the end
of life was drawing closer as the year
was coming to a close, made her will and
requested that no man should attend her
funeral. The will, which was drawn for
her by friend, provided that the driver
of the hearse shall be woman, the pail
bearear shall be women, and the persons
who dig and fill the grave also shall be
women. This will, it is said, is the result
of an aversion to men, growing out of an
old love affair more than 40 years ago.
"A correspondent of the Franklin
News says: There is a species of public
ingratitude which can only be apprecia-
ted by those who have suffered its ef-
fects." Many men, who have contribu-
ted literally of their time and money in
advancing public enterprises, of one
kind or another, can testify to the truth
of this assertion. Selfish motives are i'm
puted when those which animate the ac-
ton are of an entirely different character.
There is nothing so unkind as base in
gratitude, whether public or private,
truthfully proclaims the Oil City Biz
zlrd.
