A young man found pocket book
last Wednesday. When he saw it he
eyed it suspiciously for time and
thought some one was playing an April
fool joke. Finally he mustered up cour-
age and picked 1t up. There was no
string attached to it, neither was it
pulled out of his hands. He opened it
when 10 and behold it contained money!
good hard money. There was not
much there, but the young man revelled
in the consolation that he had not been
the victim of joke. The pocket book
contained a dime, nickel and four
pennies, and few slips of paper. He
is making an effort to find the owner.
Mrs. Mary Sarttel, whom the PILOT
mentioned a short time ago as being a
city charge and at the same time not
resident of this country, was deported
to her native country, Germany, last
week. After considerable correspond
ence between Poor Commissioner +. f.
Schneider and the immigration officials,
arrangements were completed for her
transportation. She was furnished
with a ticket and $50 in cash. The
lady is very old and infirm and arrange
ments were made whereby conductors
along the railroads between here and
New York City will see that she gets
good care until an ocean steamer is
boarded.
About sixty people attended the
Booster club banquet at the Y. M G. A.
Friday night. Supper was served by
the Ladies auxiliary. Booster club No.
1 being the loosen in the contest for

weeks the contest was on, that club
secured twentyfour new members
Club No. 2 captained by Alex. Wilson
added thirty-one members to the list
during the same period. AT the ban
quet Mr.. Rowley acted as POSTMASTER
and several pleasant responses were
made to his request for speeches.
Saturday evening large flock of wild
geese flew over the city, orrather made
a careful inspection of it. Most every
citizen who was on the streets at the
time saw them. They were flying very
low and appeared to be bewildered or
lost in their bearings. The electric
lights aroused their curiosity and at
different street corners they could he
seen encircling arc lights at safe dis
lance above them, at the same time
"honk honking" in geese style. Some
of them flew against buildings and
were knocked down, but assembled into
the air again before they could be cap
tured. These strong winged birds are
sure harbingers of spring, for when
they once come north they never turn
back until the following fall.

Tomorrow is election day and by nine
o'clock in the evening it will be known
who and what party will rule the des-
TIMES of the city for the next two years.
The campaign has been very quiet
one-perhaps the ouietest one in tie
city's history. 1t has been character
lied by clean methods by both parties
much to the credit of the candidates.
1t has not been a campaign of beer, as
campaigns used to be conducted, but
candidates have relied on their person
atty and persuasive speech to WE
votes. Whichever side lose the can6i-
dates of that party can say that they
have not been defeated by disreputable
methods and ought TO, and no doubt
will, respect the conduct of their sue
cessful opponents. That good council
of level headed men may be elected
