Was Fatal.
THE BUSINESS MEN MEET.
Politics in Town are Sizzling to a
White Heat.

The little child OF John Fournier of
Hedley avenue, who was burned Wednes-
day, died yesterday afternoon. Her
clothes caught fire while playing with
matches.
Politics Warm.
Monday the town election will take
place and although the contest is only
two davs distant yet the split in the Re-
publican ranks does not grow any mar
rover, but rather the gulf seems to widen
and to such an extent that it may swal-
low some OF the leaders OF the e. o. p. on
the ith day OF June, day that the party
may have reason TO long remember.
Such a state OF affairs had to come as
there were too many after office and not
enough positions to go around.
The men who have held the political
ribbons In Lincoln for so long are not In
IL for glory, not at all; they're there
for hard cash, nothing more or less, and
IL the taxpayers money should give out
and there was no chance of raising any
more the offices would go begging.
a fair sample OF what may be expected
was seen at the "caucus" which was held
few days ago In the Town House. The
enormity OF the trouble was brought to
light there and II was so strong that any
number OF harmony chowders" would
not smooth IL over.
The political parasites have clung to the
| offices by fair means and foul for over a
! score OF years with the exception of a
| couple OF terms and then obtained possess
sion In such a manner that 1t never will
or can be forgotten by the people of that
| much to be be pitied town.
In Lonsdale Pollard and Jordan are at
swords points. The former decided to
down the latter and therefore Jordan has
no love for Pollard and says he will not be
| elected constable which is Pollard's
only visible means of support.
From the standpoint Of the doughty
| deputy sheriff this will never do and he
| will try to force Jordan through the
| Lonsdale Company by whom the latter is
employed to assist him In getting reap
| pointed and II he cannot work the wires
| properly before Monday he will probably
| try to defeat him at the polls. So the fight
is on. President Wilbur had to step
down and out at the order OF
the long haired Dennis and OF course Mr..
Wilbur's feelings still require arnica as he
was anxious to serve the town for pay and
| incidentally furnish hay, feed and grain
| for the different departments.
When Mr.. Wilbur ran up against Mr..
Dennis In the political whirlpool he found
that the latter was we'll seasoned and now
| concludes that he Mr.. Wilbur) is only
an amateur and has many things to learn
about wire pulling.
Councilman Jollie is on his high horse
also because he was cut of in the prime
| OF his official life that Mr.. Lockwood
might live. Mr.. Grenon at Manville feels
| very similar to badly drenched hen and
| after Monday will feel much like one
| minus It's head. Therefore, there is a sort
OF a whirlwind In the Republican ring
| and the political arena is liable to be
| covered with gore by sundown Monday.
| OF course the members OF the party OF
| purity will not try to build up any politi-
cal fences Sunday, but just keep an eye on
| them and see.
| Possibly they may be found around
| promising immunity to the saloon
keepers in return for their assistance.
| The eagle may scream, etc, but there are
many long, ugly looking knives being
| sharpened for use i'm the rum ridden town
| OF Lincoln on Monday next.
| Financial Town Meeting.
| One week from next Monday the finan-
cial town meeting will be held and as
| there are many important matters to come
| before the taxpayers and a lively meet
| ing Is looked for. Some action
is expected on street railway fran
| chises as they are not in sympathy
with the Town Councils treatment OF
the railway corporation. The advocates
of the Dexter street sewer may also be
heard in the meeting and present indica-
tions are that 1t will be lively meeting.
| The Philharmonic Band.
| The Philharmonic Band although not
having been organized but about six
months is gaining quite reputation
among the music loving people for the
rapid progress they are making under the
leadership OF Prof. j. A. Bourgeois. The
| band numbers forty members and rehear-
sails are held in the Gooding Block on
| Central street. They are now preparing to
| give grand concert the latter part OF
this month.
The Business Men,
A meeting OF the West Side Business
Men was held last evening but nothing Of
| Importance was done.
