Next Tuesday is the day set TO

Next Tuesday is the day set for
the primary election. Many good
men will go down to defeat, not on
account of any shortcomings of their
own, but owing TO the better hustling
and vote-getting qualities of their
competitors. The Sheaf has some
candidates whom it would be pleased
to see nominate, but it has refrained
from being dictatorial in the matter,
and has given all an equal cnance in
it's columns. The voters in the re-
spective parties are, when it comes
to the point, the real dictators, and
to their Judgment the merits of the
different candidates is submitted.
Other things being equal, the Sheaf
always favored the retention of good,
competent men in the several county
offices, and to make as few changes
as possible. We believe that is &C
cording to good business principles.
Of course, there are exceptions to
all rules, and there may be cases
where change would work no harm.
One has truthfully said chat the
court house is no experimental farm,
maintained for the purpose of. find
ing, out a mans fitness for office.
There is no necessity of .electing in
competent men to office these days,
when so many good ones are anxious
to serve the people.

SWUNG TO. DEATH.

Spencer Brook-Alica Foote, ten
years old, met with a peculiar accident
which resulted in her death at The
home Of her mother in this place.
The child had been amusing herself
in swing near the house. For the
purpose of giving momentum to tn.
swing a rope had been attached to a
limb Of a tree, with a loop at the end
for a hand hold. The child was found
by her mother handing to this rope,
the moose of which was tightly en-
circling her neck. She was dead whe1,
removed. 81
1t is conjectured that, the child, who
was alone in the yard, had been swing
ing and had grasped the rope in order
to give herself a good start. Appar-
emily she lost her balance, fell from
the swing and the noosed rope slipped
over her head and about her neck,
causing death by strangulation.

ODD FELLOWS HOME
FOR AGED MEMBERS

TRENTON, Nov. 22:-By vote
of 11S to 109 the sixty-fourth annual
session of the grand lodge, Indepen-
dent Order of Odd Fellows, yesterday
passed the proposition to build gen
eral home in New Jersey for aged
members. 1t was decided to appro-
pirate 100000 to construct the home.
This settles question which has been
a troublesome one to Odd Fellows in
the state for years. The lodges
throughout the state seemed TO be
equally divided for and against the
proposition, as indicated by the close
vote
No site was selected for the home,
but the grand lodge officers were app
pointed as a committee TO make ar
rangements for the selectionaof a site
and plans for the buildings and the
construction work. Plans for the
home are to be discussed further to-
morrow.
