Amusements.

On Friday evening, April 10th, the Opera
House will be occupied by Edouin & San
gers Original Sparks Company, presenting
Chss. II. Hoyts greatest and funniest of
farcical comedies, "a Bunch of Keys" Of
which the N. Y. Herald says: "a Bunch Of
Keys still possesses great attraction for the
public, despite its frequent representation
in this city. At least that is what seemed
to be the case last night at the Grand Opera
House, for the house was thronged to over
flowing. This rafting. farcical production
bristes with funny situations so closely fol-
lowing upon each other that the audience
WAS in almost q continuous peal Of laughter
until the curtain fell. The songs, dances
and medleys which form an important item
in the play were nicely rendered. Miss
Nash as Teddy Keys, Mr. Mackie as Grimes,
and Mr.. Louri as Snaggs, were extremely
funny, and the rest of the company were
Just as entertaining and clever.

candidacy would touch the popular chord
like an electric bell and he would be sup
ported most earnestly" Well, Loosh has
been out of Office long enough to hunger for
the loaves and fishes, of course, and though
he us not candidate" no one anticipates
that 1t would be necessary to tear his coat
off to get him "out" on the slightest provo
cation. Loosh, however, would make a
good representative In Congress, as he was

The Democracy.

The Ottawa Democratic Club met for per-
manent organization in the supervisors
room in the court house on Monday evening,
with a goodly representation from all parts
of the city in attendance.
As all of the committees ON membership
were not present to report, proxy reports
were tabooed, and the matter made a special
order of the future,
Mr.. NJ. n. Armstrong called the attention
of the club to the election Of officers set for
the evening, and moved that candidates be
nominated by informal ballot, and that the
two gentlemen receiving the highest number
of votes be considered the candidates, and
be voted for formally. This seemed very
fair means of ascerIaning the preferences
of the members, without prejudicing any one
in favor of any particular candidate, and
was heartily approved.
Proceeding by this means, although latter
portion of the resolution was practically dis
pensei with, the officers elected are:
President, John F. Reed; lst Vice Presi
dent, Thomas MacKinlay; ID Vice President,
d. A. Maher; Treasurer, T. A. Sherwood;
Recording Secretary, John F. Madden; Cor
responding Secretary, Al. Maierhofer.
Before proceeding to the election of an
executive committee, Messrs Taylor, Weeks
and others advised the exercise of great
caution and mature judgment in selecting
men who would fairly represent the voters,
and whose Interpretation of democratic
principles should Garry weight and convic-
ton with the acts of the club under their
direction. 1t was the most important tea-
ture of the club, and no blunders must be
allowed The rules were suspended, and
Messrs. Taylor, Conway, Ben. Hess and
Haight were appointed committee to act in
conjunction with the officers Of the club in
suggesting a proper executive committee,
and report at the next meatng.
AS LEX of the Fifth ward was rather
back ward or bashful in his labors on the
me IN bership committee Of that ward, Mr. +.
A. Sherwood was appointed to fill the va
cancy.
Judge Weeks, of the committee on halls,
said that Futterer & Me zger had ap-
preached the committee with proposition
TO erect building for the club on the lot
north Of their new block and would rent it
during the campaign for $40 per month. He
had also been in communication with Dennis
Fielding Of Strestor, in regard to the room
lately occupied by the FREs TRADER, but as
Mr.. Fielding evidently considered that
fitting the room up in an acceptable manner
would warrant the charging Of nearly Is
much rent as Funerer & MetIger asked, the
latter, being ground floor situation would
be more desirable. Pending definite
adjustment, the matter was laid over until
the formation Of the executive committee.
Adjourned to meet Monday evening
April l6, next Monday in the supervisors
room, when it is hoped larger attendance
will be on hand.

NOT MUUH BACKBONE.

Notwithstanding the perfection of the
machine which run the late La Sale Co.,
republican convention, il had nevertheless
an amazing want of backbone, to say the
least Coming, as McDougall pu, it,
"fresh from feeling the pulse of the peo-
Pile" (half a dozen machine people" as in
the case of Ottawa delegates, the conven-
ton, or the machine, should have had nerve
enough to say something about the prefer
ences of the people'--the republican
minority Of the people, that is,-for State
officers and candidate for congress, since
La Sale county is pretty well loaded with
materials for fusillade of the approaching
conventions.
But while IL was understood that Lewis
can claim the delegates TO the State conyen-
ton and Mayo those 10 the congressional
convention, nothing was said or done to in
any way indicate the party choice in either
case TO spectator it looks as if this ma.
chine didn't care much about either,
Mayo's chances since Capt. Hills ap.
pearance in the race at Joliet, for the con
gressional nomination, are professedly very
slender and Mayo will, therefore, never
go TO congress -Four years hence Kendall
will claim her own, and when La Sales
Commanding ability" in the republican
ranks comes to the front again, Mayo will
be drinking his corn and not chewing it,
In Lewiss case, the action of his friends
has not helped him much. Not one word
was said In the "meetin' to boom his can.
didacy; not word uttered to indicate
that his own home cares two straws for him
either way. In fact, 1t is, sub rosa, under
stood that generally speaking the machine
republicans of this county are, for some
mysterious and uncertain reason, more in
terested in pushing Rea of Morris into the
Lieut.. Governors chair than Lewis into
the auditors office. Under the crcum.
stances, then, with his own county mum as
to his claims, with the auditor at the tail of
the list for nomination, and eight or ten
others In the field against him for the same
place, and his own friends for Rea for
Lieut. Governor, Lewis stock has not risen
above par since the convention of Tuesday
last.
But why the machine" in La Sale
county should drop Lewis does not quite
appear Surely La Sale county republi-
cans are not hammering Lewis in return
for his service to Gov. Hamilton fouryears
ago just to glatify old Dick Oglesby.
Can II be the machine didn't dare to
force a vote on "instructing" for either?

Although the gentle spring has put in
blue birds whistle in the tree tops, and the
pestiterous sparrow has begun his round
of curb stone fights and the flowers that,
&c. &c, nave got there Eli, nevertheless
there are and have been several cold days,
particularly for the spiritualistic mediums,
in the midst of all this burst of vernal
joyousness. In Chicago, just as the warm
days brought forth the little dicky birds,
cold cold day nipped in the bud the pic
mic OF couple of sisters whose skill in
deception was reaping for them golden
harvest Of sheCkels In sceance admissions
Hardly had they been admitted to ball.
when the cold weather nipped also the
blooming Diss DeBar who had become
notorious in New York for her skill In
similar deception. Her special victim was
a lawyer named Marsh, quite aged and
wealthy man, who had become perfectly
fascinated by the adventures, and to whom
he had decided the greater portion OF his
property. II has appeared that DeBar has
used her influence over Marsh IN such a
way rs to be Systematically robbing him Of
his wealth, and number of friends have
undertaken to save him from ruin. On

therefore, arrested on charge of felonious
combinations and the sceances, If any, are
