A bill attacking the ordinance
passed by the village OF Oak Park re-
curing the Chicago & Oak Park Ele-

The judges Of the Municipal Court
are municipal officers and should be
elected In the spring at municipal slec.
tons instead Of In the fall at county
elections. The county ticket In the
fall Is too big entirely and loading It
down with the municipal Judges is en-.
tirely unnecessary. The election Of
municipal judges In the spring would
Insure the selection Of better class
OF men than have been chosen for this
Office as a rule, because the ticket
would be smaller and the voter would
have better chance TO make an In.
telligent choice.

return the count brought home piece
of whitish clay that had been presented
to him as a curiosity on account of its
exceptionally light gravity When he
showed it to his shoe maker protege,
the latter said: That piece of "meer
schaum' (sea froth) would make good
