 We'll thank you. Here is our choice:
 For Mayor-----W. V. Tompkins
 Recorder---A. M. Ellsworth
 Ireasurer------J. C. Young
 Alderman
 Well, the same incumbents Will please us fine, but if they are not eligible, we are sure there are many men equally as who will hold up, as It were, the hands of an eff. cient mayor.

Exploring a Mine in Granite.
rom the Popular Mechanical


One of the methods of quarrying granite
is to dislodge a huge sheet from the sur
face Of the formation through the medium
of a powder mine. A large perpendicular
shaft is first blasted to depth Of about
thirty feet. At the bottom of this and
radiating in all directions horizontally.
like the spokes Of a huge wheel. long
holes are drilled. The extremities of these
holes are then shot with light charges
of dynamite, in order to create chambers
large enough to receive large quantities
of black powder. This takes weeks Of
ever-increasing charges. Then the final
charge is loaded. The now huge cham
bers at the extremities of the spokes are
packed with hundreds of pounds of pow
der numerous electric wires attached
and the whole mine tamped with fine ma
terial. mighty roar and rumble in the
bowels of the earth and the huge sheet
is detached from the ledge.

MARK TWAIN ON MONEY.

panic had been caused by the removal
from the coinage of the motto I'm God

the following to that statement:
''Of course am joking. The panic was
caused by a wrong idea of the use and
value of money. That Is the cause or Gil

more live in the simple dug-outs and

ception of luxury is a trip to town. silk
