Monday evening as The APPEAL re-
porter was on board of south bound

was attracted by large crowd on the
corner of 18th and State streets. He
jumped off and found Mrs. Chas.

said that Miss Smlthfeld had attempted
to take her husband and it was her in in

Political Pointers.

There is still some talk of nominating
Mr.. Nickerson in place of Maj. B. R..
DeYoung for assessor. It is bad move
ment and should be checked at once by
those who have the success of the party
at heart. Maj. DeYouug is the strongest
man on the ticket and if be is left of,
citizens ticket will be nominated and
will win too. If the republicans expect
to win in the South town they must
nominate the ticket as it now stands.
The convention must see to it that DR..

higher normal course of that institution,
in June 1876. The next four years were
spent by him in teaching both country

and Alabama. In the fall of 80 he en-
tered Fisk University and for five years
devoted himself diligently to the
prosecution of classical course of study
from which he graduated with class of
fifteen in May 1885. The following au-
tumn he assumed the principalship of
an academy in eastern Alabama, where
he remained until 1887. In February of
that year he came to Chicago in order

ployment of kind suited to his talents
and capabilities, and yet not spurning

capacity vacation occurred on the staff
