ward to better represent the entire peo-
pie"
1t goes without the saying that the
Democrats in the Second ward have put
their best foot forward in selecting + s.
Johnston as their candidate for the coun-
Gil. Mr.. Johnston is a practical man of
affairs who enjoys the confidence and re-
spcct of the entire community. He is in
no sense a politician or an office seeker
and accepted the nomination only at the
unanimous request OF his party associates.
With him it Is a public duty aud he en-
tered upon the canvass with that spirit.
From his knowledge of engineering and
surveying, his strong ommon sense, his
fairness and intimate knowlede of bust
ness methods he would make as compe-
tent a councilman as has ever represented
the Second ward. 1t is because OF this
knowledgc that his candidacy has been
everywhere received with much favor.

LOOK UP THE PRINTED LISTS.

LONh "a a NJ LADAD ~
In examining the printed registry list
of the First ward a voter Yesterday dis
covered that the name OF his wife. who
had been registered at the same time as
himself, was nowhere to be found. This
may possibly be an individual error in the
printed list and then again it NAV not.
A few such errors in each OF the nine
precincts OF the city might make just
enough difference to decide the election.
We would therefore advise every regis
tered voter in the city to at once examine
the printed lists to see IT the names OF
everyone whom he knows to be registered
appear there as they should. If not Al
investigation should at once be set on foot
to discover the cause and to rectfy the
wrong.
Every registered Democrst-and the case
we have referred to is that of a Demo
cratic lady-should cast bis or her vote on
next Tuesday. No informally. trickery
or error in the printed list should be per-
mitted to stand in the way and each one
owes it to him or herself to see that his or
her name properly appears there. 1t was
in tine last election that the Christian
name OF a candidate. whether Intentionally
or otherwise, was wrongly printed on the
tickets and to this circumstance he mainly
owed his defeat. There should be no
repetition OF such or similar work this
year and the people owe it to themselves
To be on the alert.

Trying to Buy Back HI. own BODY

This queer story comes from Massa-
chusetts: A man who lives in a suburb
of Lowell is seeking to nave a deed given
by him twenty years ago recovered. Ths
deed conveyed his body to a surgeon now
pIacticing in Great Falls, N. H., for the
sum Of ten dollars and other considera.
tons, possession to be taken on his death.
Since the deed was made the giver has
made a fortune in South America and
has decided that he would like a Chris
tian burial. The deed provides that tho
body shall be dissected and the skeleton
~articulated and presented to a medical
university. The lawyers have decided
that the deed holds good and that the
only alternative is to buy off the doctor.
The giver of the deed has made a big
offer, but it has been refused.-Hartford

Instinct of the Messenger Pigeon.

Upon what the messenger pigeons
wonderful faculty of finding its way
homeward over great distances depends,
opinions differ. Some ascribe it to an
exercise of highly developed intelligence,
others to an almost inconceivable per
lection of sight, and yet others to in
stinct or intuition. The fact of the
matter is, it is one of those mysteries of
nature that perhaps will never be reveal
ed, and stands side by side with the ac-
ton of the grilse or young salmon, which
finds its way back unerringly to the
same stream that it left nearly three
years before as a tiny par.-Denver Re

HOW DOES 1T BENEFIT THEM9

If the people desire a change in the city
administration it can be brought about
this year only bv the defeat Of the four
Republican candidates for city council ut
the election next Tuesday. The election
of any one OF them will mean that the
present order of things is to be NAM
tained-not necessarily that any benefits
will accrue to the mass OF Republican
citizens but that the clique which has
fattened upon public pickings for 10,
these many years are 10 be maintained in
their present places at the public crib.
To the rank aud file of the Republicans
who have done much work in the past
Republican success at the coming election
will mean nothing. They have labored
in the past. shouting themselves hoarse
for party favorites and spending their
time and money for what? The advance
ment OF a very few individuals without
the remotest incidental benefit to them
selves.
In city affairs they always see the same
old familiar faces. They see growing IN in
their midst a pampered office holding class
drawing tat salaries while many of their
supporters have a hard struggle 10 pro-
cure the necessaries of life. They vote
for Just such people as these men may Sc
lect, not knowingly always, but they vote
for them just the same, and put in their
best ticks to elect men who it is safely
known will keep-the present incumbeuts

The esteemed II lbune mentions the

A GIRL, MAYHAP, BURIED ALIVE.


An Heiress Hurried Into the Grave Under
Very Suspicious Circumstances.
DUNRIRR, n Y, Feb. e.-Last Friday
morning Miss Frances Burke, sixteen-year-
old heiresss, who had been IN for some time
with pulmonary trouble, was sitting ON her
fathers knee when she was seized with fit
Of coughing and fell over apparently lifele.
The parents instead of calling a physician
made arrangements with an undertakes
named Kolb to take charge Of the remains
and prepare them for burial The mother
Of the girl Is Frustrated, claiming that her
daughter was not dead, but her wishes were
set aside and hasty preparations made to
bury the girl Saturday morning, Before the
remains left the house members Of the fam
lily say that a looking glass was placed over
the young ladyis mouth for moment and
when taken away there was moisture upon
it. Her lips, it was said, were red, and color
came to the cheeks OF the girl and then
faded away again. Every appearance in
dicated it is said, that life was not extinct
and why physician wac not called in to de-
eide the matter is a mystery.
AT the grave the mother made q scene,
declaring that the girl was alive, but the
coffin was lowered in the grave despite her
protests.
The Dunkirk people are very indignant
over the affair and demand an investiga.
tion. The authorities have finally consented
to take cognizance Of the matter, and the
grave will be opened at once and an inves-
tigatiOn made
