faxefs Of their fellow-c -cifizeus, k the present assistant keeper ef the Brook lyn jail, Dewitt C. Park, who is 0 e candidate for the office Of sheriff of Niudham county.
 NIT. Park is to all intents and pnr- poses Putnam man, having lived here for some 30 years. during i1 of which he was deputy sheriff. He came here from New York state when but l9 years Of age, and remained a resident uf Putnam until he went to Brooklyn eight years ago 10 assume his present position.
 He is well known here and his friends are almost identical with his acquaintances. While deputy sherifi here he had the reputation of being one Of the best officials in this section, especially in civil cases, and his expef fence since leaving Putnam for the work at Brooklyn must have given him an insight into criminal proce- dure that cannot fai. to add greatly to his value as an official.
 lie has been considered before this year in connection with the office of sheriff, but has not till now been a candidate. Should there be a change in the office this year, 1t would seem that MT. Park Is well fitted to perform the duties of the position, and the fact that he is Putnam man will have it's weight in determining the action of the voters next fall. He Is still in the prime of life, active and vigorous, capable Of performing any of the duties of the office that may fall to his lot Adv.

MUNICIPAL NEWS
Some Items of Interest From the
Public Offices About Occur.
rences of the Week.

The City Council held a special
meeting on Monday and hit makers
and thrOwers of stencil bombs hard
blow. An ordinance sought by Chief
Of Police Steward and providing a
fine Of from $50 to 5000 for every of.
tense, was rushed through at the
councils special session, and signed
by the mayor, and five minutes after
the matter was called up Chief of
Police Steward had rushed to his Of.
flee and ordered squad of detectives
to begin searching for the places
where the bombs" were made.
Chief Steward has pretty good
idea of their location, and in addi.
tion the ordinance is SO drawn that
purchasers Of the chemicals used in
manufacturing the bombs can be
readily traced.
Without protest the report of the
finance committee recommending IN
ordinance ratifying the proposed new
lighting contract between the city
and the sanitary district was received.
As the ordinance Is committee re.
port, the matter may have to lie over
until the next regular meeting of the
council, as deferred committee re.
ports cannot be acted upon at special
meetings.
The contract provides for the sanl.
tary district to install an additional
10000 arc lamps throughout the city,
which will mako ChicaOo tho hoct
lighted city in the world. With these
installed there will be about $4,000 arc
lights within the city limits. No op-
position to the contract has developed
as the city, although getting 10000
more lamps, will have the total Of
$4,000 at less cost than that Of the
lamps now in service.
The more important terms Of the
contract are:
Ten thousand new arc lamps will
be added to the city's lighting equip.
ment.
Five thousand Of the 12,200 now in
service will be replaced.
Installation and improvements will
be made by the sanitary district ut
cost Of between $1,500.0o0 and
$2.0O0.O0O.
Repayment will be made by the city
In seven annual installments.
The sanitary district will supply all
power at SIS per horse power per
year, plus 81 for each lamp.
This will bring the annual cost to
