His words came quick like a furious flood.

Vote for John Holzhammer for aid

Take a look at the unpaid for "ona-

which Mayor McCaskrin said was to
represent the salary he received as aid

McCaskrin really put into the "orna-
mental entrance"
Give Henry Webbing your support for
alderman in the Second ward.
The only excuse the republican spell
binders can give for attacking the citi-
zens' movement, is that the party must
have something to attack. Why do
they not go after McCaskrin? Is it
because the same fellow who owns Nc.
Caskrin is supporting the republican
ticket?
w. c. Maucker deserves the support
of the citizens of the Third ward foI
alderman. He has served the ward
faithfully in the council before and will
do so again.
Valentine Dauber knows how to get
the votes in the Fourth ward. He is
proving no exception to his established
rule in the present campaign.
Vote for Billy Trefz and James Val
Arsdel for aldermen in the Fifth ward
They are splendid running mates.

mayor before, he promised among 9th
er things to see to it that civil service
was established in municipal affairs
and that the people of outlying dis
tricts got hose houses. He broke III

One of the most staggering blows
ever inflicted upon any candidate FOR
political preference was the center IN
quiry Incorporated in the group Of
questions relative to II. c. Schaifers
candidacy for mayor propoundod ny
Hope Thompson in the Market square
citizens meeting Saturday night. 1t
was the second query and he read Il
as follows:
why does John Looney support
Mr. Schaffer for the mayoralty?"
The other two questions pertained to
campaign methods on the part of the
republican party, but the one quoted IS
the one on which was laid the greatest
stress. si.g
Even suspicion Enough.
The very suggestion or suspicion Of
Looney's support has proven the undo
ing of many an aspiring politician,
both democratic and republican.
Nothing more damaging to Mr.. Schat-
fer's chances could have been devised,
and hence the interest that attached
to Mr. Thompsons question. 1t was
one that demanded nothing short If
categorical answer, and this M.
Schaffer seems to have given it.

1t is known that Looney owns Ne
Caskrin body and soul and can 10
what he pleases with him, elected N
not. He has no use for Mr.. McNa
mara. who likewise spurns him, and
now that Mr.. Schaffer has renounced
him. it is difficult to tell which way he
will turn. His only possible hope
would be in the reelection of McCask
rim whom he can make stay hitched,'
no matter how bitterly he may de
nounce him now.

FREAK EGGS.
One Thai Weighed Five Ounces-Another
Undisturbed for 500 Years.

The stories told by poultry keepers in
regard to the laying of eggs are in
danger of becoming viewed by the public
in the same suspicious light as the tall
yarns of fishermen.
1t is announced that an egg laid by q
hen belonging to a coastguards officer
at Bridgeport measured 13s inches by 6A
inches. while another of similar size
picked up in a farmyard at Fenny
Stratford was, on being opened, found to
contain a perfectly formed second egg.
The record monster chickens egg is be-
lieved to be one of So inches by inches
and weighing ) ounces.
The most freakish eggs are attributed
to ducks. The Western Park Museum,
Sheffield, has ducks egg which con-
talns another smaller one inside, the two
being joined together end to end.
In museum at Paris curious four
footed goose lays an egg which is in
varably mishapen and the shell of which
is so brittle that it breaks if touched All
efforts to preserve these eggs have been
futile.
An egg apparently in a state of perfect
preservation is reported to have been dis
covered embedded in the mortar of an
ancient church near Paris. As the wall
had been standing for fully 800 years
the egg must have been undisturbed for
all that long Molassine World.
