Our Oity Election.

The only real quiet election that we
have ever seen in Wa-Keeney occurred at
our city election last Monday. Some
body, we don't know who, how, or where,
agreed upon a ticket which was ordered
printed as follows:
Mayor, Geo. M. Ufford; Police Judge,
A. P. Lawrence; Councilmen, ]. II.
March, F. 8. Diebold, r. @. Wilson, A. j.
Davis and Geo. Baker. The ticket as
made out seemed to suit everybody and
there was no opposition and very light
vote polled. If there was any particular
issue we don't know what it was, outside
of good, representative men. Politics
surely cut no figure or democratic
mayor and two democratic aldermen
would not be elected in city republican
about four to one. We are opposed to
politics in our city elections and are well
pleased with the selections made. Mr..
Ufford is one of our representative men,
public spirited-at the same time q
thorough business man-and will fill the
Office of mayor with dignity and ability
OF the councilmen, three, Baker, Diebold.
and Davis were reelected, the best evil
dence that their official acts have been
endorsed. Mr.. Wilson and Mr.. March,
the two new members, are too well known
to need any introduction. They are both
the kind of men who ought to accept
such Offices. A. P. Lawrence will fill the
Office of police Judge as well as any man
in our city. We wish the new admins
tration success and believe our city's
wants will be properly cared for the COM
ing year.

ing. whence they expected him
to be taken down the river to Savan-
nah. He was placed on deck between
some cracker boxes, his feet extending
outward unprotected, and there they left
him. Instead Of the boats proceeding
to Savannah as his mates had expected,
it was used for ferrying BuelPs army a.
cross to the front and for this purpose
made half dozen or more trips, during
which time BuelPs men tramped over the
feet of our hero. Arriving at Savannah
he was there placed in the hospital, upon
the ground floor, which was covered with
mud and slush, his bed being bundle
of soiled blankets. Here he remained
ten days and, when two boats from Pitts
burg, Penn. arrived, on mission of mer-
cy proposing to take as many as would
go, of the wounded, to the cities above
named for care and treatment. In the
hospital our wounded soldier succeeded
In claiming the attention Of those In
charge with this mission, and was taken
on board. Two days after their depart
ure from Savannah our soldier felt the
tender touch of gentle hand and OPEN
ing his eyes he beheld the form of wo-
man bending over him. She, with kindly
solicitation inquired his name, and also
of his home and friends. She then asked
If the wounded soldier would not like to
have her write line In his behalf 10
the people at home. He thanked her and
gladly accepted her kindness. She wrote
with direction to the home people, the
father and mother, to address their son In
her care at Marine hospital, Allegheny
City, Penn. Some two weeks had now
elapsed since the day when the fight be-
gan, and upon which the subject Of
this sketch was wounded. He had been
reported at home as MORALLY wounded,
and his faithful friend, Jonas johnson,
had personally written that he had seen
him as he took the boat for Savannah,
and that he had probably died before
reaching there. This information was
received by the people at home, and the
Rev. Westergren had in the village Of
Wataga, at the request Of the parents,
preached the funeral of one whom they
supposed to be dead. On the arrival of
the wounded man at Pittsburg, was re-
ceived letter in reply to the letter OF
Miss Schooner, before mentioned. How
much of mingled joy and gladness that
letter contained none but those like Attic
ted may ever know. 1t was to them the
return of the living from the dead.
When months afterward that soldier
had so far recovered that he returned to
his fathers house, no tongue nor pen can
describe ittingly that fearful and joyous
reunion,
The subject of this incident sits in this
audience. He is leading and honored
citizen of this community, patriot and a.
brave man. His name is W. G. Olson.

The Fifth Demorest Medal Contest.

The Fifth Demorest Medal Contest.
The Fifth Demorest Silver Medal Con-
test and Concert was given at the Opera
hall, Wednesday evening, April Sth 1891.
Like each of the preceding contests the
attendance was good, and the exercises
were of high order. The program has
already been published in full, and we can
only say, with much emphasis, that the
participants all did well, and all deserve
more than the passing notice which want
of space only allows. The singing and
marching of the smaller children are a.
bove criticism and the mystery is how so
much order and system could be brought
out of chaos in such short time. 1t was
the result of patient, intelligent, hard
work on the part of Mrs. E. d. Carson
and to her is due the credit which was GER
tainly awarded her by the public. A
class of nine members competed for the
prize and each was necessarily drilled
separately SO that we may have some con-
ception of the labor involved.
These exercises are educational, and the
lessons taught are all in the line of good
morals and virtue and for those reasons
should have the endorsement of the COM
munity. That they are so endorsed was
fully attested by the large attendance and
by the marked interest and attention
given.
The judges were Mrs. d. W. Matthews,
Mrs. T. r. Brooks and Mrs. b. Robinson
and the prize, handsome silver medal
was awarded to Miss Cora Chase. The
award, we believe gave general satisfac-
ton.

Franklin street for the purpose of treat
ing disease on scientific principles.
BY removing the cause we remove the

And many heart that then was gay,

When other bards shall walk these dells
And sing your praise, sweet evening bells.
