4 Card.

The undersigned would respectfully announce
that he is applicant for the office of Street Su
peryisor Of the city Of Ottawa for the coming
year. Taxes are high and rents are low, and the
treasury is getting empty, and it is hard for au
empty meal bag to stand up straight. Besides,
the applicant has pride IN the city; is out of
business and is rusting; and the streets are full
of old calamites, and water still refuses to run
up hill. So he is aching for something to do,
to get out on the sand and brighten mp, and
mend the peoples ways and make it easy for
the lone boss shay" "By their fruits We shall
know them" References this fall, after the fruit
has matured. Very respectfully,

MEssRs. EDIroRs AS both the little Ottawa
dailes and the big Republican are advocating the
election of Hoban, saloon keeper, as Mayor on
the ground that he will pay more attention than
previous mayors have done to enforcing the laws
against opening saloons on Sunday, want to
enquire whether it is true, as have been told by
persons who claim to have drank whisky at his sa-
loon on Sunday, that Mr.. Hoban opens his saloon,
or grocery store, regularly every Sunday about
noon, under pretence Of accommodating country
people who have come in to attend church and
wish to make purchases before going honey?

Remember

That Fskc & BEEN, the Madison st. clothiers,
are down OR the clothing boom, don't believe
in increasin. prices to wrcst money from the
consumer to turn it over to horde Of spectators
who are bulling the markets.
Remember, too, that their spring stock is now
in: that Ottawa never saw larger stock of cloth
ing than they now carry; and that goods will
continue to arrive during the season. Every
thing desirable in the way Of mems, boys and
childrcn's wear will be found in stock. The goods
are all careful personal selections at the best fac
tories and are uneXcelled in quality of fabric or
excellence Of manufacture.
No notice has been, or will be, taken Of the iR-
crease in prices put on by spectators. And al
though this is the fact land that it is the fact,
without any qualification all can see who call, }
every article from a "white.tic' to q full dress
suit is guaranteed to be just as represented in
every particular. (Read the guarantee and COM
pass, insurins absolute protection in all pur-
chases.)
In this immense stock we find 4 number of
specialties. For example
A fine display of fancy colored and richly fig
ured silk handkerchief as fine as human skill
has ever been able to make. They have large
supply of these splendid handkerchiefs, as well
as beautiful silk ties, plain and colored, to match.
These elegant handkerchefs at from 50 cents to
$1.50 each.
Also French percale shirts at 80 per cent. less
than the same goods can be got for when made
to order. These goods are endless in variety of
check and stripe, figure and color, and are much
worn by the fashiopables.
They have also full line of those celebrated
" 14OO white swan Shirts" made Of Wamasutta
muslin, at from $3.50 each to 3 for s4.25 and 6
for IS.
Let it be remembered, in addition, that Fiske
& BEEN are the leaders Of the fashions in this
part of the wOrld-a position long since conceded.
Their merchant tailoring department is equal to
the best in the States-taking second place to no
one, in correctness Of STYLE quality Of piece goods,
completeness of stock, perfection OF fit or work
manshp. Their work in the past substantiates
this claim.
And let no one forget the fact that they ,riN
stick to the old prices in defiance Of "the BOOM"

ALMosr.-Mr. VIM. Bauer, who keeps wine
and beer saloon Oh La Sale st., on yesterday at.
tempted to commit suicide and was nearly sue
sessful. Shortly after IL NJ child from his place
ran into Sinon's saloon and said Bauer was hang.
ing in his barn. Mr. LEX, of Sinon's, being
alone, hailed Mr.. 81 Dean, who was passing
along the alley, in the rear, who, on being told
Of the trouble, fastened into the barn. There,
in one corner, he saw Mr.. Bauer hanging. The
loop OF a halter-strap had been slipped over a
plank Of the second story floor, about seven feet
from the ground, while the strap itself had teen
wound around his neck. His head was close to
the boards above, face upwards. He must have
supported himself on the steps to the upper story
while he tied himself and then swung off. Mr..
Dean Immediately grappled him around the body,
and raising him up, held him with throat loose
until others came in, when he slipped off the loop
letting the body down. 1t was then discovered
that there were cuts in the neck and wrist The
cut in the neck escaped the artery but opened
the wind. pipe; the cut in the wrist also escaped
the artery. The opinion OF physicians is that he
will recover
The cause! Well, he expects to move his
place of business, his location being that where
Fiske Il BEEN expect to build this spring; and
he had secured no new quarters. This matter
had troubled him for some months past-more
seriously than his friends had imagined, since he
was man who kept his own counsel. His sis
ter and brother-n.law, too, had but lately ar
rived from the old country and had settled down
a few days ago some three miles out of town. AS
they are not well acquainted with English he
felt concerned about them; and indeed his wife
thought yesterday morning he was there, since
he went away from the house between and z
o'clock and had not been seen until he was car
ried in His family relations were happy and the
only cause for his rashness is that given above
his want of place of business to move into.
