FIRST WARD The Democrats of the
First Ward on Tuesday evening last nom
mated for Aldermen William Murphy and
Z. IL. Schurmeir, and ticket for School
inspectors that is about as fit to be
elected as we would be to fill the office of
President of the United States. In what

him-taking the general Ward ticket of
Tuesday night into consideration.

is going to petition the Legislature, at its
next session, to have Lis name changed to

indeed, are his friends, that the petition will
be granted, that they have already dubbed
him Pat Emusoa.' Times.

an Irishman of Emerson. 1t is rare that
we find son of the Emerald Isle" who
does not occasionally enjoy hearty laugh.
There is a standing reward offered of 500.

prove that Emerson was ever seen to laugh
or even smile, except in the manner after
which Satan smiled when he betrayed the
earthly father and mother of mankind.
