Two Good Ones.

Chas. Hill, Of Elgeley, LaMoure
county, and M. ]. Nichols, of Lud-
den, wrestled at Monango Tuesday
for $50 a side, and the match was
decided in favor of the Edgeley boy;
and now these two giants are to haye
another match for $500 at the
Opera House ON May 21st. Each
are good men and hundreds from
Edgeley, Monango, Ellendale, Lud-
den and LaMoure will be on hand
to see the great match. The money
is posted and there will be no hip
podrome but one Of the finest exhi-
bitions Of muscle and nerve ever seen
in the West. Horse racing, foot
racing and base ball will be seen
here on that day, and several other
exhibitions Of muscle.

EAST SIDE IN THE SOUP +!
At the MOnango Convention.

As usual, the east side of the
county was given the cold shoulder
at the Monango convention this
week. The Democrats at that con-
vention nominated DR.. Bartlett, of
Ellendale, and i. H. Wilkinson, of
LaMoure. DR.. Boardman, our
worthy citizen, was nominated in
that convention but the west side
Democrats thought they must ig-
more both DR.. Boardm an and Prof.
Eaton. each good men from the east
side. We are sorry to note the fact
that the genial Doctor did not re-
,eive the nomination as he is a
good honest and capable man and
would have guarded our every inter-
est in complete shape. DR.. Bartlett,
the schemer, however, knocked down
the east end and nominated Wilkin-
son, who is not a resident of the
District, but does reside now and
always has for the past FIVE years,
in the city of LaMoure, consequent
ly a vote for Wilkinson is lost. AS
he has no right 10 even ask the
nomination.

The Republicans who attended
the Republican District Convention
from this portion Of the county,
though defeated and whipped, pledg-
ed the convention honest support
for the Republican ticket nominated,
They made this pledge because they
knew the great loyalty of our peo-
pie from this end Of the county.
Now do not let it be said after tile
election that your delegates did not
know whereof they spoke, or figured
without their hosts. Give Rowe
and Flemington rousing majority
and t this portion of the county will
profit thereby.

| Them az The least possible COST.
There has been, during the past
year, a laxity in the execution Of
our ordinances that will not he tol-
Grated IN the future. think | will
have your hearty cooperation in
compelling a strict compliance with
our ordinances.
We need also to be more careful
in the matter of vouchers. All
claims against the city should be
made out on suitable blanks, fur
nished by the city, and should be
sworn to and filed away for future
reference by the Auditor.
Committees in making out their
reports, should make them in for
NAL manner, in writing, and they,
too, should be properly filed and
preserved. There has been great
negligence in making these reports,
and u great inattention to committee
work.
The council can only do effective
work through its committees, and
the responsibility rests with them,
and | would urge upon the commit
tees careful attention to their duties
and to the above suggestions.
There has also been lack of for
mality and dignity in the proceed
ings Of the council, which | do not
look upon with much favor, al
though the chairman acknowledges
more than half the fault. | shall
do my part to correct this evil and
shall expect from you cheerful
compliance.
We all occupy positions of trust
and we need to exercise great care in
the performance Of our duties. A
loose manner of doing business, a
lack Of interest in our work, are not
only bad in themselves, but they es-
tablish bad precedent for our sue.
eessors. Our labors are unrewarded
except by the approval of our work
and by what we may learn by our
experience. There is work enough
for all to do. and if each does his
share the work will all begdone and
we'll done.
The interests of the corporation
are in our hands and ours alone.
Then let us take the same interest in
the clty's business that we do in our
personal matters, and guard its
treasury with the same jealous care
that we do our private funds. Let
each one do nothing short of his
part, and give freely of his time and
labor, and then will our city be we'll
strved.
In conclusion, | would say, that
while harmony is much desired
think much good would result if the
aldermen would express their opin-
ions more freely, even if it i@ APP
parent that majority either favor
or oppose the measure. | cannot
see the wisdom Of the minority not
expressing their views, or casting
their votes according to their ideas,
and thus doing themselves the JUS
tice "f placing themselves properly
on record in accordance with their
views. ......
Honest differences are nothing to
be ashamed Of but only go to show
that our body is made up of think
ing members.

PORTLAND, MAINE, SATURDAY MORNING

Mortified the spectators. Hangman Atkin-
son had just pinioned his legs when he spoke
Looking sullenly at the three priests. he
suddenly exclaimed, with an oath, 81 die an
innocent man; l didn't do this thing
Lewis, who had been pinioned, half turned
his head and, addressing bis companion,
said, whats the matter with you, anyway
why don't you die like man."
81 will die like man." shrieked Carolin,
his face turning perfectly livid. II will die
like man; an innocent man."
The words were scarcely out of his mouth
before Atkinson clapped the black cap over
the murderer's face. The assistant hang
man covered Lewis's face at the same mo-
ment.
Atkinson gave the signal, and the weight
fell.
Instead of bounding up as Packenham and
Nolan had done. the miserable wretches
went into the air with so little force there was
scarcely any rebound at all. Lewis imme-
diately began to struggle in a most sickening
manner. He threw his legs about so violent
ly as to kick off his slippers. Then he began
to choke. An awful sound came from under
the horrible black cap for fully ten seconds.
His body turned and swayed and the con-
tortions were so painful that half dozen
men turned away their heads. The poor
creature was finally strangled. Car0lin's
body was also violently cOntorted, but he
and at ITO both men were dead.
The four bodies hung for half an hour, and
were then cut down and put in plain coffins.
All the murderers were strangled, but the
deaths of Packenham and Nolan were CON-
paratively painless. The bodies were taken
away by frieEds and the remains were buried
today in Calvary cemetery.
