duced IN the Senate was for bridge
across PERCH creek, in Ceresco. instead
of Birch creek. Several bridge bills
have been introduced by members from
this county, but none of them are likely

The SalyationIsts were in high feath-
er yesterday and last evening. All day
there was busting about the barracks
and the opera-house. In the evening a
great supper was held at the former
place, participated in by all the local
members of the Army and many who
are not members. After this there was
a torchlight parade with Salvation mu-
sic, which wound up at the opera-house.
There big jubilee was held, beginning
about eight O'Clock. The building was
well filled with interested spectators.
An interesting program Of exercises was
served up, including services by the
Army, songs by the Swedish warbler,
the Nightingale from India, the happy
lrishman, and other celebrities, relation
of experiences by redeemed sinners,
speeches, etc. Major Whitman, IN COM
mand Of the Minnesota district, was
present and had charge of the meeting.
The supper and jubilee were successful
both financially, and in creating greater
interest in the work Of the Army, which
has done in this city what no church has
tried to or probably can do, despite
SCOTS and jeers on all sides.
The laboring men are endeavorlng
to secure candidate: for the various city
offices and show signs of putting up an
independent ticket, useless at that would
be. Two very good men have been
asked to run for mayor on their ticket,
either one Of whom could be elected if
endorsed by the Republicans, w. T.
Mills and c. p. Williams. Neither of
these gentlemen gave the committee
much encouragement. There is consd-
cradle talk among the Democrats of put
ting up J. w. Hoerr for mayor, as his
term in the council expires this spring
and no successor is to be ele cted. 1t is
said that Mayor Pfau will not be can
didate for reelection for the reason that
he wants the Office of city attorney, a.
much better paying Office than that ma
yor. The Republicans have not talked
of anyone for mayor as yet. There has
been some talk of Mr.. Lilly, the as
sistant auditor, for recorder. Both Aid.
Jorgensen and Aid. Hanna are said to
be candidates for the one vacant alder
manic position that will be left in the
Fourth ward. No other Democrats have
been spoken of.
