The CITY Election.

OWING PROBABLY W Iuc uuSotClou ol"0o
of the weather, there is not much in
terest taken in the coming city election.
The mayors proclamation and notice
of election will be found elsewhere in
this paper. The election will be held
on the It'll of April, one week from
next Tuesday.
As to the candidates talked of, they
are about as numerous as usual; but
there are few men making any special
effort for the various city Offices.
For mayor the republicans are talk
ing of .Messrs. Theo., Griffith, r. G..
Bailey. Sandy Laidlaw. II. A. Bishop
and Err Moses; the last named gen.
tleman, however, is out in card de-
clining to accept the position. Some OF
the above named gentlemen are Seing
urged by the select clique of republican
politicians who assume to dictate the
politics of not only the city but the en-
tire county, and it remains to be seen
how far they will succeed in this in
stance.
The liberal people of the city. or
''anti-ring" people, are talking of sew
eral able gentlemen for the head of our
city government. The names of Myron
Gilmore, Nv. Brinkman, r. F. Pleger
VIM. Brueser and G. 2. Townsley are
mentioned as all being capable men fol
the position of mayor.
For justices of the peace James Clay
ton and Capt. John F. Lewis are can
didates Cor reelection, while D. M
WOODBURY., A. j. auckland, ant
F. B. Schuster are also in the field fol
the same offices. Other candidates will
probably be brought to light before
election day.
We hear of no particular interes
taken in the offices of cOnstables ant
police judge. For cOuncilmen ant
members of the school board there ar
many names mentioned. there seem
to be no great amount of interest takel
in these Offices. This is mistake
people should carefully select good mel
for councilmen and members of tn
school board. The DEMOCRAT woul
suggest that mass convention b
called, to be held at the Grand or tn
court house, land citizens ticket nom
mated, the men thereon being selecte
for their ability rather than for thel
politics. The years 1891 and 1892 ar
likely to see a great revival in busine s
of all kinds In our city, and we wan
the very best of our citizens to handl
the reins of our government for th
greatest good to Great Bend.

There will now be a dozen sleeping apart-
ments at the disposal Of visitors who wish
TO make the club house their headquarters
during a visit here. The new hous.
is 4-story building. divided
INTO eleven rooms OF generous
proportions. The basement has been al
tered into billiard room Of convenient ac-
cess. The upper floors will be retained as
sleeping apartments, with an entrance from
the old house through the second floor. The
former billiard room, on the top floor of
No. Is, will be made into card rooms. Tho
second floor of the old house will bs used
as large dining room. These changes,
it is thought. will make the
members comfortable during the
tenure Of the present lease. Many OF them
think tnat by the time the contract expires
they will be far on the way to the owner
ship of a new house built specially for
themselves.
This is the era OF new and elaborate club
houses in New York, and with the large
and wealthy membership that the Southern
Society now b as, there is no reason to doubt
that If the idea comes to any practical dis
custom it will have a result creditable alike
to the south and to the high standing OF
her sons in this community.

VICTOR EMMANUEL's TEARS.
How They Saved Turin from the Aus

From the Pail Mall Gazette.

From the Pail Mall Gazette.
A highly interesting episode in the un-
written history Of the early days OF the
kingdom Of Italy has just been published
in Paris, showing how large debt OF
gratitude is owed by the new monarchy to
a great French soldier who is still alive
Marshal Canrobert. At the opening or the
campaign of 1859 he was the first French
commander to lead his army corps on
Italian territory. Both he and his troops
were greatly fatgued by long forced
marches. aud on reaching the first
hating place Canrobert threw him.
self on bed and went to sleep, after giving
orders for the men to take rest. Scarcely
had he closed his eyes when an orderly an
nounced the arrival of King Victor Em-
manuel. who rushed into the room in
state Of the greatest excitement, and Selling
Marshal Canrobert by the hands, implored
HIM to save Turin from the Austrians.
Tkey were then only twenty miles from the
Pfedmontese capital, which possessed no
Notifications and only a small garrison.
The anguish of the king was so great that
the French commander consented to open
his Geaei orders at once to see whether he
could comply with the formers wishes.
Unfortunately the instructions distinctly
forbade Canrobert to engage the enemy
until the othr army corps had Joined him.
On hearing this Victor Emmanuel burst
into tears and hesought the French leader
70 violate his Instructions and to cover
Turin. Finally Canrobert consented to think
the matter over, and to give the king his
answer by O'Clock in the morning. Weighed
down by fatigue, he once more dropped of
to sleep, but was again aroused, this time
by little man with gold spectaoles. This
stranger turned out TO be Signor Cavour.

This was too much for the marshal's good
nature, who dismissed the statesman sum-
marily. After mature reflection Canrobert

This brief addition to the eligibility
clause makes scores Of men before
excluded technically eligible. The execu-
tive committee will act as the judge OF just
what constitutes "signal service TO the

mean much or little. 1t is probable, though,
that any of the men who have played
prominent. parts In the developments Of
southern industries, in the extension Of the
railroad system of the south, or in any
other way contributed to the commercial
prosperity of the "New South" would be
regarded as eligible candidates.

that the new house No. 20 was added TO No.

ST.. JOSEPH, Mo-. Nov. 2l.-A telegram

proprietors from Mrs. A. II. Williams OF
East Des Moines asking particulars OF the
death of her husband. The proprietor was
greatly mystided, for the most scrupulous

trace of Williams. Finally the BARRIERS were

supposed corpse stepped from their midst,

A Young English Woman Who Has

Studied to Some Purpose.
From the London Queen.
Miss Eugene Sellers. who is interesting

is a young woman with story that is well
worth telling. For she has compre' sed into
her few years a plenitude Of experience that
seems to have filed up all the gaps and left
none of those blank stretches of time that
English women too often bewail. Perhaps
the secret is that Miss Sellers is only half
English, her mother having been French,
and, although she was born in London, she
did not remain there, but passed her child
hood in Spain. From Spain she went to
Paris and was educated in a Roman Cath
Ollie sisterhood near Versailles. Her studies,
however, were not carried on In any very
systematic fashion, for the winter at this
period always found her in Sicily. One
year-this was when she was l5-her father
took her to Greece. Seeing Athens and the
Ionian isles for the first time she thereupon
resolved to study Greek art. But Greek art
had to be put aside for Greek particles, and

tails of Europe Practically it did so appear.
Miss Sellers, too, had been accustomed to
learn chiefly from the open book of human
ity of The worlds history and monuments.
At Cambridge she was called upon to give
her attention chiefly co the printed page.
All this was irksome enough, and Miss
Sellers confesses frankly that her three
years at Girton were rather dreary. How
ever, she worked hard--for when she came
up she knew neither Latin nor Greek
and she achieved honors in the classical
Tripos. This was followed by brief spell
OF teaching in the st. Andrews high school.
The season Of 1888 was memorable in Lon-
don for the brilliant rendering at Lady
Freake's house Of the "Tale Of Troy"-the
first of series of efforts to give concrete
form to the Greek myths and dramas. To
Miss Sellers the occasion was memorable,
not only because she enacted the part Of the
heroine-making,a as every one will acknowl-
edge, an ideal Helen-but because she then

SHOT HIS BROTHER DEAD.

Nearly Blown OFF.

The Top of the Little Victims Head
Nearly Blown Of.
WnKEsBARRE, Pa, March 2.-John Fal-
Ion, 12 years old, accidentally shot and in
stantly killed his 6-year-old brother Rob-
bert last night. The boys were chang
ing their clothes in an upper room where
a gun was lying across the bed. John
picked up the gun and pointing it play
fully at his brother pulled the trigger.
A loud report followed and the little
victim received the heavy load of shot
full in the face. One eye was torn out
and the top of the head nearly blown off.
The mother, who was in the kitchen,
rushed up stairs and found one of her
boys dead, and the other standing over
the victim, dazed, with the smoking
weapon in his hand. The father, who is
night Waterman in the county Jail, was in
Hazleton, and did not know of the death
of his son until he arrived home this
morning,
