We wonder how a certain high school student Would like to see his name in print with some of his cute sayings? We have referenc to the young man who took advantage of the absence of the old people and' forced his presence; on the hired girl, a comparative stranger. If the attending of and a hjgh school education (does not even teach common decency the sooner such students

1 are taken out of school, -the better. I The Kankakee township advisory poard met the first of the week at the -home of Trustee Shirer, but not a full board present. The Stali- | baum-Peregrine sewer bill which 1 has been hanging fire for the past two years, on account of its illegality, was again in the foreground, but. it cap be said with credit to the, trustee and members of the board that it was again turned down, or at least was not acted u[>on. Those | who are directly interested in this biH would do well to take these sewers up, and we believe as soon jas the township is in need of them that the advisory board would consent to their purchase. No one I ought to know better than ex-trustee iStalbaum and Mr. Peregrine that i when this purchase was made the (transaction was illegal from start to finish, but (tad it not been for I Wm. Fitzgerald the/ claim would I have been allowed. John Finn has now taken the place of Mr, Fitzgerj aid a- memberof the board, and we I believe that he will also ]|ove to , be the watch-words of the township treasury. , .

His i Honor discovered that Mrs. Caroline I Shultz, an insane inmate at the county infirmary, had been receiving a large pension for a number of years past, and had in this way accumulated quite a large sum of money. As the woman has been an inmate of the infirmary since 1898, Judge Vurpillat decided that the county was I entitled to some pay for her keeping. and he accordingly ordered W. S. Huddleston, Jr., present guardian of Mrs. Shultz, to pay the county the . sum of $1,547. The sum represents i the price of $3.50 per Week for 442 ' weeks, the court having decided that $3.50 per was about the right price for the accommodations given one at the county farm, and the county .treasurer will receive the amount in a short time. Besides her pension the woman had also drawn a sum of money as pensions for her children while the latter were under 16 years of age. The money has been in charge of her former guardian, Geo. Gray, but hereafter her affairs will be looked after by her new guardian, W. S. Huddleston, Jr. I
