That School Meeting Again

Editors Index: I see your Lake
City correspondent has misrepresent-
ed the Lake City school meeting
again as usual. 1 am at a loss to
know whether it is ,willful, premed-
itated malice aforethought, or SIM
ply ignorance of the creature of ex-
istence. I am rather held to the
opinion that it is pure and simple
ignorance, as he has trained with
that class of people since he located
in this locality. Please correct the
statement and say Mr.. Miller sue
ceeded Mr. Roark as director.
o. MILLS.
The Index assumes no response
bility for the above communication
from Mr. Mills. The mistake on the
part of our Lake City correspondent
was purely accidental, no doubt, but
the old trouble between him and Mr.
Mills of year ago, makes it ap-
pear differently to "Tonk." Both OF
these men are valued friends OF
The Index and we would pay liber-
ally for a recipe to get them on bet
ter terms.

Union Meeting

On account of the threatening rain
the services last Sunday evening
were conducted in the First Baptist
church.
The auditorium was very well fill
led and few persons were in the
lecture room. Extra chairs were
placed on the platform for the
preachers and choir. The good old
gospel songs were sung with much
earnestness and spirit. Elder Bish-
op M. Hopkins preached the sermon
from John, 1922, and depicted a
scene of the world II Christ had not
come
Although the heat was oppressive.
the congregation greatly enjoyed, and
we believe, was much profited by this
sermon.
J r. w. Imboden sang a song en-
titled, Moment by Moment" which
was well received
We hope you will plan to attend
the next meeting which will be held
in the park if the weather permits.

Ralph Wisner City Marshal.

At the meeting of the mayor and
council Monday night, it was practi-
cally decided to appoint Ralph Wis
ner city marshal but the terms were
not agreed upon. Mr.. Wisner will
discharge the duties of the office in
connection with his work with the
Electric Light Company. Before com
ing here he was on the Kansas City
police force and is therefore more
than ordinarily qualified for the
marshalship.
The usual monthly bills amount
ing to $407.21 we're allowed and
the tax levy for 1910 was made lag
gregating 71k mills, the same as
last years levy. This will raise more
revenue than the same levy did last
year on account of the increased
valuation.
City taxes continue to. be burden
some.

A pleasant surprise was given Mr..
Feltner last Thursday evening.
1t being Mr.. FeItner's eighty-sec-
ond birthday, Mrs. Feltner and her
daughter, Mrs. Mathews, invited a
number of friends and neighbors to
to spend the evening. 80
Among the guests were number
Of friends of thirty years ago.
The greatest surprise Of all for
Mr.. Feltner was when Rev. Imboden
called him to the porch, 1--WE suspect
he began to think of neglected du-
ties but it was only, TO commend
him for the noble. life he has lived,
and to present a beautiful rocking
chair which his friends gave as a
remembrance.
The evening was spent in conver-
sation and games. Refreshments

Rural Carrier in Runaway

J. c. Wright, carrier on route 2,
was seriously hurt in runaway
about noon last Thursday near Jas.
Urton's place about four miles east
and south of this place. While Mr..
Wright was selling postage stamps
to Mr.. Urton his horse grazed on
the side of the road and Mr.. Wright
suddenly jerked the lines to make
the horse raise its head, and the bit
broke. This frightened the horse
and it made a plunge forward, the
force OF which threw the driver out
through the glass door or window of
the mail cab. A piece of glass cut
one OF his hands badly, splitting the
hand from the little finger back al
most to the wrist A long incision
was also made in the forearm.
DR.. Coleman was called by phone
and went out in his car,applied emer-
gency treatment and then brought
Mr.. Wright home where he sewed
up the wounds. He is recovering
slowly and no permanently bad ef-
fects are feared.
Aside from his wounds, Mr. Wright
was bruised up very much
The mail wagon is a total wreck.
In going down the hill at the scene of
the accident, the horse and cab fell
over a bluff and the vehicle was
distributed along the route in frag-
ments. The horse was not hurt.

]. NJ. Grouse of Nippawalla town
ship was nominated by the Demo-
Gratis for sheriff He had not filed
petitions and his name was not print

quite a number in many other town
ships. Forty-three is the required
number to nominate when a can
dates name is written on the ticket
1t Is said that Mr. Grouse will accept
the nomination. If he does he will
give Sheriff Mathews an interesting
sace.
II is almost certain that there will
be no Democratic candidate for eth
er county clerk or coroner. Neither
is it likely that there will be repub-
lican candidates for treasurer, sur
veyor and coroner, these places
having been blank on the republican
ticket.
However, late in the afternoon it
war whispered around that S. F.
Bowman and E. c. Davis of Sharon
were being voted for for treasurer
and surveyor, in Sharon township,
and on the strength of the rumor
they got 10 to Is votes here. If
they got as many as 40 votes at
Sharon they are nominated. DR. Cole
man of this city may also have the
nomination for coroner on the re-
publican ticket.
The Democratic vote was very
light but the republicans were out
in great numbers.

who were nominated without opposi-
tion ere:

No democratic candidates aspired
to township offices in this township
but a number were drafted by the
sovereign voters at the primary and
several of the places will be filled,
among them Is v. c. Sleeper for
justice Of the peace and J.W. Brown
for another term as trustee.We are
not advised as to whether or not Ell
