According to a recent issue of the El­ gin Courier, town clerks will be obliged to ran for their respective offices again next spring, despite the fact that the last legislature passed a law making the term of office two years instead of one. The law did not go into effect until July 1, and for that reason does not apply to the officers elected last spring. The little city of Carthage has a Com­ mercial club, *nd *s * practical result of its organization it has hired a man by the month with two male teams to keep the roads leading to that city in good condition. One of his dnties is to see that all ditches are kept open. They begin to see what good roads mean. Perhaps by and by we shall understand what the people in the old country found out long ago, chat one 8f the conditions of prosperity is to uiain tain good roads. It Should be known to everybody in these days of gasoline lamps and stoves that gasoline will not explode until its fumes have been mixed with at least six parts ot air. Gasoline will oatch fire es quickly as any liquid known, bat let it alone and it barns oat, doing no damage and leaving no scar or sign of 'fire. Mixed with air in the proportions mentioned it is far more dangerons than dynamite. No receptacle of this liquid should be left uncorked, for to do so is to make the room where it is kept far worse than a powder magazine. This matter of safely handling gasoline is very easy and no one should be ignorant of how it is done. « FOUR CARLOADS CAfiP FOR>l. V, Convene & Company flan Ridding Round Lake of the Cannibal Fi»k« y Stoughton, Wis., Nov. 27.^ftfter hauling in 70,000 pounds of^carp ftHMn Lake Kegonsa, the firm of Converse & Hadsee of Fox Lake, III., have ceased its work for the year. Ever since August 19, when the first haul was made, a crew of fourteen men, has been engaged in seining the lake for the rough fish. About four carloads have been shipped east to New York. These are sold for 24 to 8 cents cents a pound. A 3,000 foot net averaging sixteen feet in depth was used. A bond of $200 will be returned to the firm. This was demanded to insure the seizure of rough fish only. Monday was the last day for making hauls. In thRthanl 700 fr»h were taken, which are being packed in MM)-pound boxes and will be shipped the latter part of (he week. Altogether aboht forty hauls have been made this season. A feature about the work has been that not over 150 bass or over twenty-five pickerel were caught in the < nets, ac­ cording to Mr. Converse. By the end of the week it is planned to have the equipment shipped to Long Lake, 111., where a few days' work is to be done. This is a lake about a mile long and about half that width. From there he will go to Fox Lake, the head­ quarters, where considerable seining is going on. While at Kegonsa the party camped in a large canvas tent, even in the re­ cent cold weather. The Modern Woodmen of-A merle*. The Modern Woodmen of America was instituted twenty-six years ago last January. It has paid to beneficiaries of deceased members $86,000,000. If this sum was all in silver dollars and they were piled one on top of the other it would make a stack of Bilver dollars 127 miles high. The society is now paying death losses at the rate of a little more than $720,000 each month. This means #168,000 a week; ,$34,000 a day; $1,000 an hoar; $16 a minute. Every time one's watch ticks four times, day and night, Sunday included, this great society is dropping a dollar into the lap of an orphan or widow of some deceased member.

T. Beldin last Friday after­ noon. While no definite action was taken in the matter of allowing the total amount of the bill, which was in the neighbor­ hood of $4,400, the committee seemed fair in regard to their views, and it is believed an entirely satisfactory settle­ ment can be arranged at the adjourned meeting of the session, which is to be held in the caorse of a few weeks, or at the regulaqf^uarterly meeting of the board of Bajflrvisors in December.
