A. Holt . 58 Our pro-bono-publico candidate for alderman, Reinhold (Red) Muench, went down in defeat at the recent pri­ mary election, much to our surprise, as we were led to believe, after meiit*$- ly tabulating the many bright encomi­ ums touching his sterling honesty and unimpeachable integrity, that our 'noted orator and versatile Boniface" would surely grace the forum of the council chamber, an event that should be preceded by heralds astride gaily caparisoned steeds in armor, blowing a fan-fare from their trumpets, an­ nouncing the presence of our "hero," followed by a concourse of citizens, plebeians, hoi-polloi, catacomb dwellers political tatterdemalion, etc., mad with joy, voicing their approbation by strident shouts of approval. But alas and,alack, a vengeful Brutus, via the voters, the final arbiters for political fortunes, delivered "the unkindest cut of all," rendering our protaplasmal statesman" horsdecon^bat. There fore our editorial to appear under the caption veni, vidi, vici will have to be changed so as to read: Exuent Reinhold Muench.' . ^ - Main Street Carnival Opens The regully^ spring canine carnival opened on Maiu street Thursday with the following cast of characters: DRAMATIS PERSONAE. Jerry, the hippopotamus, who enter­ tains at the ice cream parlor. Grey Wolf, who warns intruders away from the Grace avenue entrance to Maypole's cottage. Teddy, t^e terror, who guards the front of Karls & Miller's department store. The Moose, who discusses the re­ mains of the menu in the rear of BuenMng's hotel. Hawkshaw Paddy, who acts as night watchman for the federal building. Jerry and the Wolf opened hostil- tween Nipj^ersink and Grace avenues, ably assisted by the Moose, who played the part of a Freelance, taking a bite here and there as their anatomies came within, range of his incisors. They each were bent upon reducing each Other to mince meat in the shortest possible space of time, keeping up a rapid tire denunciation couched in dog Latin, consisting of staccato growls and strident howls, endeavoring to frighten their adversaries by mere vol­ ume of noise, this being the usual method employed by canines while en­ gaged in a physical discussion. Dur­ ing their struggles they gradually negotiated the distance from the curb to the middle of the street, landing under a delivery wagon and becoming entangled with one of the wheels, whieh causey, a halt in the proceed­ ings. However, Hippo, still thirsting for gore, made a bee line for the cor­ ner, where Paddy and Teddy were eo-; deavoring to annihilate each other, and grabbed Teddy in the region of his caudal appendage, which only measures about one inch, forming a kind of half cresent near the conjunction of his hip bones. Paddy having previously se­ cured a firm hold near the thorax, they proceeded to stretch him our un­ til he resembled an elongated sausage, forming for the time being the bone I or rather the dog) of contention be­ tween them, each seemingly anxious for the honor of dispatching him forth­ with. There was a conglomeration of wriggling dogs and their yelping satellites, flying bits of mud, shouting men and hysterical women, imploring the onlookers to part the contestants, which practically suspended business in the down town district. Finally, a horny handed son of toil armed with a long handled shovel came to the rescue and smote Paddy's hip and thigh right valiantly, which caused him to retire 'up-stage" with becoming celerity, while a sturdy workman from the ice house pelted a shower of stones in such close proximity to Jerry that he scampered up Main street, and the great carnival closed and normal con­ ditions once more prevailed in the Fox Lake region. Ball at Kaath'a PavilWa. ^ Another grand ball was given 'at Koeth's pavilion Saturday evening, March 15. The beautiful decorations, which we mentioned in connection with the George Washington birthday ball, remained intact. The usual good times incidental to festivities given at this resort were also in evidence. Mrs. Koeth, the hostess, -had a smile for everybody present and a welcome that seemed to pervade the entire space contained withip the four walls of the building. Dopp & Grabneau's Chicago orchestra furnished the music, which thrilled the dancers, causing them to caper nimbly around the elliptical sur­ face of the ball room floor, disporting their pedal extremities in the most ap­ proved manner, while executing chick­ en flips, goose waddles, etc. In lieu of elaborate or formal supper arrange­ ments, luncheon was served at 12:00, and shortly afterwards the guests ex­ changed congratulations with the host­ ess and departed for their homes.to await the balls and receptions that will mark the.grand openings of the VMHOMS hotels in the near future.

Our fifty years of experience have proven that certain berries from Sao Paulo, Brazil and Mexico produce an ideal blend. You will find that MEX-O-JA cofTee has a flavor obtained only in the higher pricec! brands; this distinction is the result of our superior facilities for selecting the raw ma­ terial; the berries we have chosen blend perfectly. We have evolved for you a high grade coffee minus the usual high price.

Mad your coffe* at horns to get the bast results <F Artificial Light 7 The ape, like contemporaries of the Pleistocene man, whose skull was dug up in England last summer, had somehow learned to make fire and understood that its light made an island in the darkness. That was anywhere up to the millions of years ago. \ Remarkable, isn't it^ that the art of artificial lighting progressed so slowly? The polished Romans of the Augustan age went to bed -shortly after the roosters because they really knew no good wa| to light their houses. The Country Town Nowadays It's a thousand times better lighted than the proudest city of antiquity, And the.houses in it--the kings' palaces of old were not in their class in the matter of lighting, even the little ones.
