There has been a stream Of fertil'
izers going out of town during the pas
few weeks; but local dealers say they
have not nearly completed their de-
liveries, which are being made no
only from Yorkville, but from various
points on the railroads, north, east
south and west Of town.
There was an unusually large au'
dience out at the Lyric theatre Tues.
day night to see Miracle Mary" ant
the picture received much commenda'
ton. When one gentleman confided tt
another that parts Of the picture
brought tears, another gentleman who
had about the same feeling, protested
that the confession was no sign Of un.
manly weakness.
The announcement by Mr.. ]. Franz
Faulkner that he has inaugurated 6
public automobile service will be re.
ceived with satisfaction by the loca
public. Mr.. Faulkner said yesterday
that for the present he would use but
one car which he proposes to drive
himself; but If it shall appear that the
demand warrants the use Of other cars
he will not hesitate to get them. He
began his public service work more
than a week ago and has already beer
meeting with much encouragement.
Although registration is not pro-
crossing with anything like the vigor
that one would think would be the case
there is quite a good deal Of talk and
speculation over the probable outcome
Of the approaching municipal election
~ HuHlpCl VI plooPCNlifS SoheAA"eSo AoA
mayor have been mentioned. some
wanting the office, others unwilling t6
serve even If elected, and others will
ing to serve; but no ways desirous OF
serving. Among the names mentioned
are Messrs. ]. C. Wilborn, w. E. Fer
guson, Joseph E Hart, A. D. Dorset
c. A. Boney, J. 8. Mackorell 1t is re-
ported on the streets that the White
Rose social club, or majority OF It.
has endorsed Mr.. Joseph E. Hart. The
views Of the people are very much
mixed over the question; but the usual
sentiment and desire for change is
quite evident The biggest problem
appears to be how to secure a change
of policy along with change Of coun-
Gil. There are we'll defined lines OF
sentiment and affiliation in Yorkville
over municipal as we'll as other mat
ters; but there is lack Of the organi-
zation necessary to give expression to
these opposing lines Of sentiment. There
is an entire lack of open leadership oil
either side. The present situation Is
one that seems to require the agree
ment of the two parties each on its re-
spective candidate. For instance. as is
understood by the politically wise; but
not by the general run Of people these
days, the law Of the general election
provides for what is understood as the
plurality rule. That is the man who
gets the most votes gets the office. Un-
der this rule, where there are only
about ITS voters registered, and there
are as many candidates as are men
toned above, a candidate could be
elected by 25 votes, and not be nearly
the choice Of those voting. That there
is very serious need for more general
interest in local politics seems to be
pretty generally appreciated; but some
how there is but slow development
along this line.
