There is some interest manifested in
the matter Of candidates for village
officers, to be nominated at the caucus
tonight. There is little attractiveness
IN council position to any citizen who
views first his own personal interests,
and yet it is important that these as
we'll as other public positions should be
filed with the utmost care, that the best
men available be selected. Men marked
for their technical ability are not so
much needed as men with "level leads''
whose judgment and own consciences
are likely to be their only guides in all
matters that have to do with the public

Owners Death.
An eccentric character whose real
name, for obvious reasons, cannot be
given. but who may be designated as
Feregrfhe Blotter. died a few weeks
ago in howell in the outskirts of a
small town near the boundary line be-
tween Wisconsin and Illinois. which
he had occupied alone for many years,
says the Chicago Tribune.
Mr.. Blotter ostensibly made his liv-
Ing by raising vegetables and saving
wood, but he was extremely penurious,
and the clothes he wore were little
better than rags. -
No effects of any value were found
in his hut, and he was buried by the
county.
But neighbor who had suspected
for long time that the old man was
miser and that he had concealed his
wealth somewhere about the premises,
resolved to make a systematic search.
One dark night he took lantern, IN
ak and a spade and went over to the
miserable howell.

loose brick in the wretched fireplace
that had served the late occupant both
for cooking and heating purposes. He
pried it up. A foot or more below the
surface he discovered rusty tin box.
He lifted it out, and with feverish
haste opened it.
It contained bottle of mustang lini-
ment, a package of smoking tobacco
and a certificate of membership in the
German Baptist church.

Boy Survives RattIer's Bite.

The Is year old boy of George Worth
living near Schoenchen was severly bit
ten by rattlesnake about three O'Clock
last Saturday, and although his leg is
swollen to an immense size, he still lives
and will probably recover. DR.. Loutz-
enhiser was summoned at once but it
was $50 before he could reach the scene
and it was thought the boy could not
possibly live, as the venom of the rat
tier in nearly every case causes death
in short time. However the best OF
medical skill was exercised and the boy
will no doubt live to tell the story OF
being bitten by rattler.
