Village of 1900 Has No Volunteers for Mayor

Prairie? Apparently there is in this village
of 1900 people who desires the honor, and as
result the office left by the resignation of H.
c. Wofarth remains unoccupied with nothing to in
dictate it will be filled Immediately 1t is rumored
that the council has approached several citizens
questing them to assume the duties of mayor at
least until such time the village elections held
but thus far the invitation the part of the village
dads has been kindly, but none the less firmly de-
clined. Recorder r. E. Beach has made a public
proclamation: IF there is anyone in the village who
desires to become mayor, he she should make ap-
last week, saying the pressure of his business and
the condition of his health would no longer permit
him to continue head of the council. At the pre-
sent time NJ E. Scow is serving as acting mayor.
