KELLEY is A CANDIDATE.

Atty. E. L. Kelley has announced his
candidacy for member of the assembly
which became vacant by the death of
Carl Hansen. So far we have heard OF
no other candidate. Should Mr.. Kel-
ley be elected the district would be re-
presented ably in the legislature. He
has the good opinion of everyone be-
cause of his intelligence, industry and
good citizenship.
Mr.. Kelley is patriotic to the core.
BE is an able lawyer and good debater.
He should be supported by voters who
are interested in good service in the
Legislature. Membership in the leg
islature should be conferred because
of the value OF the candidate as a
member OF the body, and not as a po-
litical reward.

During the first eleven days OF Janu.

way to equal. But Saturday the 18th
the spell was broken. A young man
came in and expressed his determine.
tion to wed. County Clerk Auton who
had given up all hope Of ever issuing
another license frightened up and
asked for the name OF the groom. He
sprained his arm trying to write it and
he would never speak again had he
tried to pronounce it. The groom was
Peter Paraskevopoulos. His future
bride is Victoria Gappa. How would
you like to change from Gappa to
Paroskevopoulos.

CIRCUIT COURT NOTES.

Circuit Court convened Tuesday
morning. After calling the calendar

the lawyers have been so busy helping
with the military questionaires.
On the criminal calendar the cases
of Koch, abandonment; Cole, indecent
liberties; Pankratz, libel; Gesell, EN-
bezzlement, were set for trial although
the court asked the lawyers to look in
to the Koch matter and see if his re-
cent story of physical inability to sup
port his wife is true. The State VS.
Block was passed, Richard being still
fugitive from justice and just one
lap ahead OF the officers whenever
heard of.
The following civil jury cases we're

tinued over the term one of them, the

FIRE.-A fire occurred on the South
side last evening, entirely destroying a
building opposite the Turner Hall,
which was formerly used as school
house but recently occupied as a resi-
dence, by the editor of the Zletung and
also by A. F. Klingbeil. We learn
that it was caused by the accidental
breaking of lamp. 1t was a cold
night; and we sympathize with the
families that were rendered houseless
by the merciless "fre fend." The
loss of tho editor of the Zeitung is
about 5000 and that of Mr.. Klingbeil
about $500. The house was insure d
for $500.

LOCAL WAR NEWS.

The local exemption board is re-
quired to put in class one all those
whom it is not authorized to put into
deferred class. Consequently those
who have only an agricultural or in
dustrial claim go into class one tenn
porarily until the questionable has
been forwarded to the district board
for classification on those grounds.
When the young men who think they
have good case for deferred classi-
fication on agricultural grounds re-
ceive a notice that they are in class
one they do not always stop to read 1t
all carefully or always understand If
they do read it and many rush to town
to see about it. Temporary classttica-
tion by the local board has resulted in
much misunderstanding and confusion
that appears to have been avoidable.
