Beginning Terms of Office.

There will be some variety about the beginning of the terms of office. Tho city committee will meet soon to cau- Vass the returns, and will probably de- eide that those officers receiving the highest votes are nominated for tn. long year terms.
 The election for city officials, gen. eral among municipalities all over the state will be held on the third Monday in September. On October l Harry Jones will become president of the council, and Barnes Morgan will sue ceed him as alderman from the Eigh th. All other officers will take their places on May l, except the aldermen from tfe two new wards, who will be seated ct the next meeting of the council.
 The old police commission whi h has put up such game fight for years, will die on April 30, next year. The new commission, according to the muni- cipal code, is made up of the Mayor as chairman and two commissioners of four-year terms each. One is to pc elected every two years and it is thus seen that Seals will have the long tern. on account of his big vote.

A BUSINESS PARABLE
The Farmer who Stood in the Position
of an Editor

Once farmer had 1900 bushels of
wheat, which he sold, not to single
grain merchant, but to 1900 different
dealers, a bushel each. A few of them
said it was not convenient then, they
would pay later. A few months passed
and the mans bank account ran low.
How is this?" he said. MY 1900
bushels of grain should have kept me in
atfluence until another crop is raised,
but have parted with the grain and
have instead only vast number of ac-
counted, so small and scattered that l
cannot get around and collect fast
enough to pay expenses"
So he posted up a public notice and
asked all those who owed him to pay
quickly. But few came. The rest said,
mine is only small matter, and |
will go and pay one of these days, for
getting that, though each account was
they meant large sum to the man.
Things went on thus. The man got to
feeling so badly that he fell out of bed and
awoke aud running to his grainery
found his 1900 bushels of wheat still safe
there. He had only been dreaming.
Moral-The next day the man went
to the publisher of his paper and said:
Here. sir, is the pay for your paper,
and when next years subscription is
due you can depeud on me to pay it
promptly. 1 stood in the position of an
editor last night and l know how it
feels to have ones honestly earned
money scattered all over the country in
small amounts"
