The Election.

The annual spring election for city
officers occurred yesterday. The weather
was of genuine election day" charac-

the effect of making a light vote. The
regular democratic nominees for mayor
and assessors were elected without oppo-
sition. The chief contest of the day was
for treasurer between William Schultz,
independent, and VIM. F. Voss, the
democratic candidate Mr.. Schultz made
a strong run but was defeated by IA ma.

BUSINESS tor Ladies'.

The opportunities for ladies to find
employment that is both suitable and
remunerative are limited; their pay is
usually poor as compared with the salar-
les paid to men in same line of occupa
ton. But there are some very noted
exceptions; journalism, the drama,
music and platform offer equal advantages
TO men and women, and there is one
occupation in which women are some
times more successful than men, and
that is in the management of.agencies.
In this line The Queen City Suspender
Company, of Cincinnati, o., are offering
inducements to ladies that we think
ought to attract attention. They are
now manufacturing and introducing their
new Stocking Supporter for ladies and
children, and their unequaled SKIRT
Suspenders for ladies. None should be
without them; our leading physicians
recommend them, and are loud in their
praise. These goods are manufactured
by ladies who have made the wants OF
ladies and children study, and they ask
us to refer them to some reliable and en-
ergetic lady to introduce them in this
county, and we certainly think that an
earnest solicitation in every household
would meet with ready response, and
that determined woman could make a
handsome salary, and haYe an exclusive
agency. We advise some lady who is
in need of employment to send to the
company her name and address, and
mention this paper, Address QUEEN

Robbery ut ViQOenHOTlss. Broth
e3'S,

erS,
The cigar and tobacco store of Wig
genhorn Brothers received visitation
from burglars Wednesday night last, or
rather early Thursday morning, and they
proceeded to divest the show cases of all
the most valuable meerchaum pipes to
be found and the money drawer of some
$6 in small change. The pipes stolen
were valued at from $175 to 5000 making
on the whole no small loss Entrance
was effected from the rear, the thieves
breaking out pane of glass in the tram
som oyer the door and squeezing through
an aperture in the sash 10x14. Several
persons seemed to be engaged in the
work and it is not unlikely that boy
was sent through the window and han /
ed the goods to the parties who stood
outside to receive them. Whoever ell.
tered the store evidently cut himself with
the glass as there were traces of blood in
the sash and around the floor and a
piece of handkerchief was found com
pletely saturated with blood.
On the opposite side Of the street a
ludicrous sight was to be seen in the
morning. Swinging from the sign over
Clark & Carrolls store was a dilapidated
chair and an ancient oil can. Whether
these articles. had been placed there by
the parties engaged in the robbery to
show how our wide,awake watchmen
could be trihed with or by some boys to
play trick is not known. It was, at all
events, a small and mean piece of bust
ness. There is no clue to the parties
engaged in the burglary up to this time
and it is now doubtful if they will ever
be discovered. It is another transa ction
that reflects on the activity and useful
ness of our night watchmen and shows
the necessity of changing the methods
usually adopted in their appointment,
Let the selection of these officials be
made hereafter in consideration OF
personal fitness and not as a reward for
favors shown to those who have the
appointing power.
