There is great surprise in store for
the society people on the Heights. One

section of the city is soon-very soon-
to be united to well-known young busi-

nuptials is made, which will be this
week, quite furore may be looked for,
even among the most intimate friends
of the young lady.
A unique club has been recently
formed among the young boys on the
Heights. The boys are determined to
keep posted on politics and meet once a
week after school hours to read the
speeches of Hill, the state documents OF

the debates on the tariff in congress.

Charlie Edwards, Fred Jewel. Elmer
Donnell, Ed Cummings and Jimmie
Vroman.

Considerable interest is being aroused
over the approaching election OF coun-
cilmen from the Ninth ward. 1t is very
generally believed on the Heights that
the present councilman, Mr.. Sam Rees
will not be his own successor. Mayor
Hazards "50-cent dinner" article and
"cable car free pass literature, pub.
lished sometime ago in the HERALD
may contribute somewhat toward de-
Gliding the voters to allow Mr.. Rees to
stay at home. Mayor Hazard is grind
ing his hatchet, instead of burying it.

falls.

sees the handwriting on the wall, and
is willing to accept the inevitable.
