Mr. Adams will not he a candidate for re-election giving as hireasons that the salary is hardly enough to pay for the selection of teachers once a year, much less the time and trouble a trustee has to expend during the year, if he does justice to the trust imposed upon him by virtue of the ollice. As the board now stands each ward is represented. Councilmen Swindler and Fess of the Third ward claim that as Mr. Adams is from their ward that his successor ought to be from the same ward. Among those whose names are mentioned are Abe Donaldson, Benj. Adams, Jr., George Bollenbacher, Dr. J. E. Harris, Isaac Walker, H. J. Feltus and Thomas Allen. Should the selection be made from some other ward the name of William N. Showers is frequently heard. ANOTHER TERM. Frank I;'. Touruer Again .elected to Serve Two Years More.

The boy leaned under the banister to see where it went, when he lost his balance and fell with crushing force on the bricks below. He alighted on his head and shoulders. Blood spurted from his ears and nose when he was lifted from the pavement by Wni. Sanders, an attachee of the Arcade saloon. Dr. Whitted was called and found that the child was dangerously injured.
