 HORDES LOOKING
 FOR COUNTY JOBS
Warm Contests Start for Party Nominations for Fairfield County Commis- sioners.

There is a raft of Republican can- didates looking for election as Coun- ty comm issioners, two of which will be appointed by the next general as- sembly. Commissioners Simeon Pease and John Brophy, whose terms ex- pire with this year are candidates for renomination. Whitman S. Mead, the other commissioner has yet two more years in office. The salary is $1,800 yearly for f )ur years.
 Among those who are allied with the Republican forces who have been prominently mentioned are Deputy Sheriff Fred B. Crofutt of Danbury, whose job as sheriff expires when the Sheriff Vollmer goes into office in June; Former Senator Charles A. Hoffman, a cigar maker, of Danbury; J. s. Thornhill and Robert Greene of Brookf1eld and Charles B. Hatch of New Fairfield. Sheriff s. E. Haw- ley's name is also mentioned for the office.
 Should Commissioner Brophy be thrown down by his party it will be the first time that any Republican commissioner who was a candidate for the second time has not held of- flee for more than one term in any county of the state. What strength the many candidates can muster IS unknown at the present time but it is predicted that when the Republi- can senators and representatives of the county do caucus that COmmis- sioners Pease and Brophy will be their party's nominees.

ThSsIs VI $FAsiAs .ase recorded by Plutarch would

A case recorded by Plutarch would seem to support the theory that during periods of protracted insensibility the spirit of the sleeper. freed from the body. wanders away to realms and scenes not conceivable by the ordinary senses. A man named Thespius. he tells us, fell from a great height and was picked up to all appearances dead. There were no external wounds about him. but the physicians were satisfied of the fact of the decease. Arrange ments were made for his burial. but on the third day after his fall he re- vived. much to the consternation of his friends. In a short time it became quite evident that the whole tenor of the mans life had changed. Previous ly his character was that of a repro bate and a vicious man. but after his insensibility he ever followed after virtue. On being asked the reason of the change. Thespius related that dur ing his long sleep his spirit had been liberated from his body and had soar- ed away to a strange land. where it had joined a whole company of other spirits. His past life was disclosed to him in all its hideousness. and the glorious capabilities which were be fore him were revealed in such a man. ner as to make him ambitious of at taining them.
