clated. There was good attendance of
worshippers at the shrine Of pleasure and

ities unmindful of the disagrecable weather
without.
1T seems that the friends of Mr.. Adolph
Swoboda are not willing to let him retire
from the council and will use every endeav.
or to-day to re.clect him in the Fourth
ward.
The J. w, Spies saw mill will start up
on permanent run this week. The finish

The "hooence" men in the Third
ward, those black scoundrels who are the
bane of all our local elections, have been
much exercised for several days back be-
cause there was but one candidate out In
their ward, who, of course, would not be

puts it up: "Hon. R. Mccartney being sat
isfed with promise of the position of the
United States Judgeship, for the Southern
District of Illinois, when the bill passes to
divide Illinois into three judicial districts,
wlthdraws from the congressional race.
This leaves the Hon. John R. Thomas
clear field, and his nomi.
nation foregone conclusion. He can now
with perfect safety return to his duty at
Washington"

ears, entirely to the mercy Of the rapaci-
'us, conscencelus rascals who make it
habit of bleeding candidates at all cleo
ions.

real estate Improvements to be made by the |
Singer Company this spring and summer.
The factory turns out upwards of two |
thousands machine table every day now
and there is urgent demand for more, while |
there is great need of more room even at
the present rate of work. Ii is a settled
fact that the Improvements spoken of in
these columns some time ago will soon be
begun. Among these is brick building
