LOCAL BREVITIES.

U.s. far Hon. i. L. Albright has the in
side track for the Democratic nomination
for Congress. He is the only one who has
yet dared to present himself as a candidate
for the nomination and has received many
complimentary notice from the Democratic
press OF the district. In the convention of 2
years ago Mr.. Albright was the third strong
est man. He is probably one Of the live
liest political workers in the district. If
nominated he would make the fur fly from

obtain similar favor. This year the same
minister is preaching in Missouri at a Gown

gets anything. A short time ago an editor
loaned an annual pass, issued by the Illinois
Central people, to clothier, who, in re-
turn for the favor presented the newspaper
man with suit OF ready made clothing.
An officer OF the company found 1t out, but
that editor has never since rode on an
Illinois Central pass.

-"Llzzie Evans" and company produced
"Foggs Ferry at the Opera House last.
There was large audience, about four hun
