Well, hereafter "P. X. won't hav,

one consolation To be able Ia stay a
home, YOU know.
The street commissioner has done
great amount Of work during the pas
month, especially in the northern par
of the city. Commissioner Mccall hat
kept the streets in excellent condition
during the past year.

A Lake Crystalile informs US that
the Democratic baggage man on the Iii
more passenger train Yesterday tore of
two American flags which the Republi-
can express messenger had put up. The
act was mean and disreputable one,
and will receive the condemnation of all
people without regard to party.
The second quarter opens at the
Normal with an increased attendance.
All of the rooms are crowded. When
the smoke of the election contest clears
OFF and the wants OF the county before
the next legislature are summarized il
will be found that the long wanted APP
preparation for the enlargement Of this
school will stand at the head.
Mir. Gustave Michelke, of Madelia,
and Miss Geneyieve Plymat, OF Maple
ton, were married AT the residence OF
the brides parents, Mr.. and Mrs. VIM
n. Plymat, "Wednesday afternoon. Rev.
T. {. Hudson performed the ceremony
In the presence of a few friends of the
contracting parties. Both of these young
people are well and favorEbly known in
the county. They will make their fu-
ture home at Madeiia, where Mr.. Mich
elke is engaged in the hardware bust
ness. and their numerous friends wish
them success.
B. ID. Smith has l79 majority for
county attorney, a splendid showing.
There is no doubt that Mr.. Smith had
the hardest run of any man on the Re-
publican ticket His opponent was on
both Democratic and Prohibition tick
cts, and, being Welshman, secured
big vote in the townships where that
nationality predominates. The latter
had nothing against Mr.. Smith, but they
will go for one of their own clan when
they have chance. This made a de
lection which WAS hard TO overcome,
being in the strongest Republican
towns.
The Ames Democrats in this city
profess to feel highly grattied at the
defeat of the KellyDoran ring. They
say that il il better 10 be under Repub-
lican rule than under the lash Of few
bosses. They also claim that the party
is better off to-day than il WAS on the
day Cleveland was elected, inasmuch as
II is now freed of the bosses. There is
little sympathy wasted over the defeat
of the boss candidate for the legislature
in this county. This ali goes to show
that the truce which was declared be-
tween the two factions is of very TEN
porary natuTe. There will no doubt be
ordinations and recriminatioIls al the
CITY election next spring and some old
scores will be settled. Every candidate
on the Democratic ticket who has ideu-
lifted himself with either faction will be
knitted at the polls by the other faction.
