A QUIET VILLAGE ELECTION.
Republicans Elect Everything But M
Iage Treasurer.

Village election in Paw Paw was very
quiet, there being no strife for place ex
cept the office of village treasurer, G. +.
Ocobock, d, winning over Pearl Pritch-
ard by eight votes. Mr.. Pritchard had
never taken an active part in politics
and the report that he had always been
identified with the opposition lost him
several votes
The election committeefor some reason
had the tickets printed with the citi-
zens' ticket at the head. This was in di-
rect violation OF law, as it is mandatory
upon the election committee to give
first place "to the party casting the
largest number of votes at the preceding
election
The summary of the votes is given be-
low. Whole number of votes cast, 800.
President, NJ l.. Decker, r, 225.
Clerk. w. II. Mason, d, 167. No oppo-
sition.
Treasurer Pearl Pritchard, r, III;
Chan. r. Ocobock, d, 1S5.
Trustees: 1. A. Whitman, r, 2ls; E. A.
Adriance, T, 1885, W.. j. johnson, r, 205;
w. j. Ellis, d, 122; S. o. Kenyon, d, 1873;
g. f. Mather, d, 126.
Assessor: }. G. Warner, r, 220; Chas.
Lake, d, 139.
Mr. Decker has reason to feel compli-
mented upon the vote given him, as he
received every ballot cast for president
including all the split votes.

SOME LIVES OF MEN.

We have in mind salaried man Of
sixty who has built himself a modest
cottage at a beautiful lake resort
where, surrounded by his children and
his grandchildren, he enjoys three
months of outdoor pleasure care-free
and happy. What he owes does not
worry him because he does not owe
anything. What he owns does not
trouble him because his property in
terests are modest and are safely in
vested He is getting out of life that
which he can take with him when he
leaves this world.
Then we have in mind another man
of more than sixty who owns SO much
of this earth that If he should move
what is his he would endanger the
equilibrium Of the globe, but he can't
grow hair on his head and he has Of
fered million dollars for stomach
that could relish onions and beefsteak
just once before he dies.
Then we have in mind another SAL
aried man who must needs work in
cessantly at his daily task in order to
supply the four gaping mouths which
must be fed before either he or his hard

and their employers We're to the traf-
f1c manager to whom the steel indus
tries appealed for assistance. All he
could consider was that the smelters
and furnaces were menaced; that II
they could not get coke they must
close down; that if they closed down.
five Or six thousand men would be out
of employment, and that the town
would get a setback from which 1t
might take two or, three years TO ire-
cover. Meantime, freight. the traftlc
managers everlasting care, would Sc
riously diminish in volume. There
would be no pig iron. nor sheet IRON
nor steel billets. nor rails to carry out.
and there would be fewer barrels OF
flour, less household necessities, to
bring in.
What did he do then? BY fortu-
nate provision of nature, coal mines
and iron mines nearly everywhere lie
side by side Cheap fuel close at hand
is an important factor in the iron in
dustries and when the strike deprived
these steel men of their usual local sup
ply of coke the railroad simply made a
temporary rate to the threatened local
ity from the big fields OF Pennsylvania
The rate didn't pay the actual expenses
of carriage, but it kept the steel mills
going and saved loss to the commun-
i ty that would have mounted up, very
likely, into the hundreds of thousands
of dollars; also, it saved the railroad a
good bit.-From "The Traffic Manager
and the Shipper by Philip S. Fiske,

Dotes on Red Hair.
INeW York Press. /


Here is a, tale we'll conceived and
abundantly vouched for. 1t relates to
an industrial captain of more than or
binary prominence whose liking for
red hair among his office staff is re-
garded as a weakness by some of his
business associates. A young man of
fine front. but dark brown hair, en-
deavored in vain to obtain a billet from
this magnate. He seemed to possess
every qualification except red hair. AT
last one of the older employees tipped
him off He Immediately died his head
covering a salmon stra w'berry Titan
hue. shaved off his mustache and Of
fered himself for job. He got 1t.
Once a week the dyeing had to be re-
newed. 1t was kept up for six months,
in which period the young man was
rapidly advanced to positions of great
responsibility. He then felt so conf
dent of being indispensable that he al
lowed his mustache to grow and his
hair to resume it's dark-brown color.
But the magnate told him to go, say
ing: II am afraid you are entirely
too clever for me. You are too smart
to be safe In subordinate place. First
thing / know you will take charge OF
my affairs and discharge me-"

A Trite Saying.

It IS trite saying that no man Is
stronger than his stomach. DR.. Pierce'S
Golden Medical Discovery strengthens
the stomach--puts it in shape to make
pure, rich blood-helps the liver and
kidneys to expel the poisons from the
body and thus cures both liver and kid
ney troubles. Ii you take this natural
blood purifier and tonic, you will assist
your system in manufacturing each day
pint of rich, red blood, that is invigO-
rating to the brain and nerves. The
weak. nervous, run down, debilitated
condition which so many people suffer
from, is usually the effect Of poisons in
the blood; it is often Indicated by pimples
or boils appearing on the skin, the face
becomes thin and the feelings eblue."

How Alcohol is Made.


Alcohol, usually the product, rather
educt, of fermentation, is made by pro-
cesses involving three steps. The de-
tails differ in different countries. First
saccharine fluid is prepared by the
action of dilute acids or alkalies, dias-
tase, or other engines on a number of
raw materials, like starch from pota-
toes, Gas in Germany, corn Gin Am
erica), or any cereal; sweet potatoes,
yarns, cassava; sugar in molasseS, sor-
ghum, beet-root residueS, maize stalks,
grapes, apples, pears, peaches, figs,
berries, mountain ash berries, melons,
gourds. cactus, honey, milk, etc. Sec
ond, the mixture is fermented, by
which step the sugar is converted into
alcohol. And, third, the alcohol is sep
arated by distillation. Roughly, one
hundred parts of starch or sugar yield
fifty of alcohol. By-products are OBJ
tanned varying with the raw material,
ferlnent and other conditions, as tenn
perature and the number of redistilla-
tons. Some residues, as schlempe,
vinasse, etc, are excellent foods for
cattle; some yield potash salts, an es-
sential constituent of retilizers The
fertilizing materials removed from the
soil by the crops are thus returned 10
it. From Germany, where apparently
the production of alcohol and saving
of the y-products have reached the
highest perfection, over three hundred
metric tons of fused oil largely amy.
alcohoD were exported in one year to
the United States to be used in the
manufacture of amyl acetate, varnish-
es, explosives, perfumes, etc.-From

working wife can partake of food, but
when he leaves his modest home three
times a day he struts with the chestl-
ness of a peacock and steps like a
French coacher at the thought OF the
womanly accomplishments of his IA
vorite daughter or the brilliant obser-
vations of an only son.
Then we have in mind in the same
town one man, yes, two men, and II
space would permit, more men. who
own so much property that their In
come piles up unused by sheer force OF
it's own momentum. They never had
any children, consequently their hearts
have grown selfish. Years of contin-
uous acquisition have untitled them
for giving. Y. M. c. A. subscriptions
lists make them shudder They hurry
from specialist to specialist seeking an
elixir which shall recall the foot which
has already stepped in the grave while
heartless world seems to laugh at the
thought that he can't take it all with
him when he dies.
Then another man comes to mind.
He was possessed of indomitable ene"-
gy. He prospered nightly at manu-
featuring and conceived the idea of Ia
boring for his town So. whenever ne
found young man of promise, ne
staked him or took stock in his enter
prise. Factories sprang up all around
him and his town grew apace. He Went
on the school board and built manual
training school with his own money
and endowed it, He built park and
| beautified it with statuary. He helped
build all the churches, the Y. M. 9. A,
organized two building and loan COM
parlies and managed them without
| graft Likewise a savings bank for
workmens funds. When he died he
died rich but honest and universally
| beloved man. The local eight page
newspaper devoted every column of an
/ entire issue to his obituary. NO
amount of millions could have been eX-
| pended in marble shafts for such
monument.
| And then ones mind recalls man
i of fifty-five who has been living in
| CITY mansion worth 100000. He has
| been president of great bank with
| millions of deposits, has owned city
real estate without limit but today is
fugitive from justice, fleeing to the
Mexican moutain Businesses with
| price of $1,000 placed upon his head by
his former friends and fellow bankers.
When he fishes it will not be as an
honest man for pleasure, but as her
NIT for food. When he thinks OF, his
son it will be to wonder whether he,
too, escaped felon's cell. When he
thinks of his neighbors he will shudder
at the thought of the rope which he
will imagine they have prepareds'f for
him.
There is but one life to live on this
earth and many, many men are living
il. Almost any kind of a pattern may
be selected from the lives Of those VIII.
have gone or are going before us. The
above mentioned are some of them.

How Traffic Manager Saved Industry

There is not single side of our m
dustrial life which the traffic man
ayers work does not touch. year
or two ago strike at the coke ovens
in an iron manufacturing center
threatened paralysis of all the indus
fries of the neighborhood. You can't
smelt ore or run pigs or make steel
without coke, and all of sudden, one
day, the coke men went out in body.
No doubt they thought that they
should tie up the iron making indus
try. and that the pressure that would
result would be too much for their
employers to Withstand. On their part,
tho, the employers made up thelr
minds that they could not afford to
weld an inch Of their ground, no mat

might be.
