w. R. Vending will deliver his famous
lecture on "Ingersollism from Secular
Stand Point" next Wednesday evening, March

he was billed for this place March s, but was
snow bound and had to postpone the engage
ment until March 80. Mr.. Vending is highly
spoken of as a lecturer, and no doubt but the
citizens of this place will avail themselves of
the opportunity of hearing him reply to Mr..
Ingersoll. Mr.. Vending comes here under
the auspices of the Y. M. c. A., and it is de-
sired on the part of the management that the
citizens lend them aid to the cause. They are
deserving of much credit for the talent that
they have secured in the course of lectures.
One week from next Tuesday will be the an
nual city election at which time will be elected
one Alderman from each of the three wards,
Mayor and city treasurer. E. w. Durant is the
unanimous choice for Mayor and will no
doubt be elected without any contest. Mr..
George Low is the popular candidate for the
first ward. Mr.. Low is contractor and builder
and well acquainted with the business interests
of the city and will be the right man in the
right place. Dan Matthews will be elected in the
second ward. And as we have said before Mr..
John Covee will be elected for the third ward.
There is not better man to be found in the
city for the position of Alderman than Mr..
Covee, and the third ward intend to elect him.
Web. McKusck will be elected Treasurer as
he has given entire satisfaction during the year
past. Let the prison boy take care of the
third ward.
We took little time this afternoon to talk
little with Major Edward. The major has
eight of his traction engines ready. They are
designed to burn straw, but they burn wood
or coal as the occasion requires. He calls
them the minnesota Giants" Each engine
is tested with blower, the air being forced
through fifty feet of pipe, and each engine is
required to stand a twelve horse power pres
sure before leaving the works. BE has also
invented a gauge, by which he can tell the
amount OF back pressure, and by another at
tachment he can instantly relieve that pressure,
thus giving to the engine additional strength
equal to two horse power. These eight en-
gines will be shipped next week, and the
balance of 15O as soon as they can be got
ready. The traction pressure gauge, and the
attachment for relieving all back pressure, are
inventions of the majors.
