Will INSTALL
STEAM PLANT

O. f. Kloss. the representative of
the company that has asked for fran.
ohise 10 transmit heat light and pow
er to Danville and to furnish the same
to our citizens, was in this city yester-
day on business connected with his
venture,
Now that it seems understood that
council will grant franchise to the
new company Nj Kloss feels much
encouraged, and to a representative OF
the News Yesterday he outlined the
oompany's plans for the future. He
stated that it is possible that the new
plant may be put in operation this
fall. Nevertheless as time is so short
il is unsafe to predict and it is quite
within the range of probability that
the starting up may be postponed un-
til next spring.
The company, he said, has options on
several water rights. among Others
those involving the famous Muncy
dam. Matters of title, &c, cause much
delay in negotiating for water rights,
be said, and it has been decided in
starting up the plant to depend upon
steam. Iu this way the business can
be developed while negotiations for
water rights are still in progress. Be-
sides. as an auxiliary to assist during
low water or other emergencies,
steam plant will have to be installed
anyhow.
This steam plant, Mr.. Kloss said,
will be installed either in Danville or
in Milton-he was not prepared to say
at which place yesterday. Work on it
will probably begin in very short
time certainly just as soon as the
franchise is granted by council.
Mr.. Kloss explained that there is no
question but that the plant will sue
ceed, if granted an ordinance. Four
out of every five business men of Dan
vile, he said, have already signed
contract giving the new company their
business.

Corn Eating Device,

Americans fond of good eating enjoy
sinking the teeth deep in a steaming
eaf of sweet corn. Yet for the very
stood. In England a popular idea pre-
walls that field corn is generally eaten
in the United States, a thing the Eng
lishman could not do without offend
ing his national pride, and the French
man considers the mode of eating it
inart,Etic. However that may he. as
everybody knows, the flavor remains
delicious when the corn is properly
cooked. 4 rev device for eating corn
is in use at a well known American
cafe. 1t is the invention of one of the
proprietors, Jacques Bustanoby. 4 sill

Clark Bunton, Sheriff

After final conference on Tuesday night
of last week among the local republican
leaders, the appointment Of sheriff to
succeed Bud McCracken was turned ov-
er to the democrats, the republicans
agreeing to recommend to Gov. Hoch
the appointment Of any man who might
be named by the democrats. There
were no avowed candidates IN the dem
ocratic party but there was a unanimous
sentiment among the people Of all parties
that the term should be filled by Tip
McCracken, brother Of the deceased
sheriff. After considerable persuasion,
Mr.. McCracken consented on Thursday
to accept. but on Friday there were new
developments for the worse in his arm
which made it necessary for him to re-
turn to the hospital and on advice Of his
physician he declined the appointment.
The most available man then seemed
to be Clark Bunton, city marshal Of Kiio-
wa, but he did not consent to accept the
appointment until Monday morning when
he tlnally gave way to his tnends and &C
cepted it.
Chairman Lake and Secretary Field
Of the democratic committee acted on a
petition signed by democrats throughout
the county who desired Mr.. Bunton's ap-
pointment. They, as representatives ol
the party, will make the recommendation
to the republican committee who in turn
will make the recommendation to Gov
Hoch. There is little question but thai
Gov. Hoch will be governed by these
recommendations and appoint MIR. Bunton
Those who know Mr.. Bunton bes
vouch for him as man and fearless,
conscientious officer and there is every
reason to believe that he will carry ou
the policy of Sheriff McCracken anc
prove a worthy successor.
