there will be as many as three candi-
dates contesting at the elction.

Glenn Hoeller is certain to encounter

reelection. While he has not reveal
cd his plans, he will make the race,
his friends say, if he finds the oppOsi-
ton to him is not too strong. Three
candidates are already in the field
against Hoellcr, and each one has a
substantial following. They are: Gus
Stein, William Brunke and Al F. Mau-
rer. Stein and Brunke have made the

paign, but he has a host of friends
VINO are predicting that he will carry
the ward.
William H. Medley will be opposed
by Tom Gill, a former councilman, in
the fourth ward this spring. 1t is
possible that another candidate will
participate in this contest, making it
a three-cornered affair.

Farmer Is Buried
Wearing A Hat,
Planned ToDo It
Mississippi County Man Kept
Fedora Five Years-Head
Rests on Fancy Pillow He
Had Made For Occasion.

Adhsring to the wishes expressed
ny him several years ago, Green b.
Forest, a Mississippi County farmer,
was buried near Charleston last week,
vcaring 4 hat that he had purchased
for the occasion more than five years
ago. A fancy pillow, that had been
made by Mrs. Forest several years ago
at his request, was placed in the cas-
kct. and when the coffin was lowered
into the grave, his head lay upon the
pillow.
Forest was considered we'll to do. He
vas well liked in his community, but
was known to be somewhat eccentric.
It was about five years ago, his wife
states, that he purchased in Charles
ton soft black fedora hat, which he
announced was to be a part of his
snr0ud.
When Mrs. Forest inquired why he
had purchased it, he said he had reach
ed an age when death might come at
any time. He said he would place the
hat in a box, where it could remain
until he might need it. He then in
ouced his wife to make the pillow,
wkich he said, he wanted to lie upon
when laid away in the cemetery.
Under protest she complied with his
wishes. She kept it in a trunk for
the several years, and during the past
two years had looked upon her hus-
bands uncanny requests more as a
Joke than a serious matter.
"By making preparations to die you
are certain to enjoy good health" Mrs.
Forest often remarked to her husband.
whose answer invariably was: "Well,
my time must eventually come and
when it does, want to buried in that
hat and upon that pillow
Three weeks ago he became i'll and
while his sickness was not looked upon
as being of serious nature, he grad
ually grew worse When he was told
that he could not live but a short time
and asked if he had any arrangements
10 make, he summoned his wife to his
bedside and whispered: 81 want you
to see that l wear that hat, and |
want you to place that pillow under
my head"
When his body had been prepared
for burial and was ready to be placed
in the casket, Mrs. Forest tucked the
fancy pillow at the head of the coffin
and had the undertakers to adjust the
black fedora hat upon his head after
he had been placed in the casket.
Most of his friends had often heard
of Mr.. Forests unusual request, and
few were surprised at the unique spec
tacle that met their gaze when they
stepped forward at the grave to look
upon Mr.. Forest for the last time.
