West Side Election.

The West side election is passing
off quietly today A light vote will
be polled and it is impossible to tell
who will be the winning candidates,
as the tickets are being scratched
freely, The aldermen are being
voted for all over the city and while
some of them develop great strength
at one ward box they are showed
under at others. The candidates
have their carriages and the usual
number Of banners and streamers
attached to show to whom they be-
long The negroes are out in full
force and they are voting as the
quarters and half dollars tell them
to, The candidates on the tickets
are all good men and will make good
officers, Let us be glad and sorry
at the same tlme--glad that good
men are elected and sorry that good
ones we're defeated.

WILL YOU ENLIST.

Uncle Sam has only to blow his
horn, tap his drum, and the boys
will turn out to a man, with that
same spirit they did when Britain
tried to coerce this country into
subiugation by bigotry and laws
the people could not submit TO- Here
is the latest in the VenSulean
and Nicaraguan affairs;
The British ultimatum delivered
to Nicaragua is not a source of
present apprehension, for it is not
now believed that the British will
take any action in the way Of at
tempting to acquire any territory
in that direction or even to jeopar-
dzc the property of Americans in
Nicaragua by a bombardment ip
their efforts to force collection Of
the indemnity demanded from Mic
aragua These are the two moves
that might cause the United States
to interfere. But in the case Of
Venezuelan boundary dispute
there is much graver cause for APP
prehension, 1t appears that our
Ambassador, Mr. Bayard has not
succeeded in inducing the British
Government to give heed to the re-
quest submitted by him at the di-
rection of Congress, that the boun.
Diary dispute be submitted to arbi-
tration The British are profuse
in their declaration of a willingness
to arbitrate the titles to the lands
west Of the Schomburg liue, but in
view of the State Department, this
Is a pure evasion Of the real issue,
for there never has been any rea-
sonable assertion Of a British right
to this territory, and it is the ter
ritory lying east of this line that
forms the substance Of the conten-
tion, The present situation is be-
lleved to be alarming, as armed
bodies Of British and Ven2uleans
are pressing each other closely In
the disputed territory and there
may be a hostile clash at any mo-
ment. The administration has
been considering carefully the
course to be pursued in such cases
and 1t Is entirely probable that II
the British persist in bringing
about such collision through fail
ure to heed the repeated requests
Of the United States to submit the
matter TO a fair arbitration then
the United States will feel obliged
to follow the moral aid IL has giver
to Venezuela in this matter by
more substantial assistance,

however, it has become quite COM

report as made by the Surgeon
General, that small pox exists in
twenty-one states of the union. Of
the cities Milwaukee has suffered
most from this disease during the

On Saturday night when our
forms were being put on the press,
figure four dropped out OF the
price of percaes, in the price list
of Messrs. O'Dwyer & Ahern's adj

by anyone, save the dear ladies who
read the advertisements in paper
first, and other matter afterward,
On Monday morning when
ODwyer and Aherns store was
thrown open the ladies began to
file in and the first thing they asked
for was "percale, They did not
toy with the cloth long before they
gave orders for yards and yards Of
it, and the clerks began to think
that this must be a "percale town" "
They soon caught on though, when
the bill was presented and the
ladies gave out their little "oh, /
thought you was selling this for
half cent a yard, "or "You adver.
advertised to sell this for half cent
a yard" Explanations were given
that 1t was a mistake, and the la
dies said, "well, four and a half

way"

Marshal Crenshaw's report was
taken up and showed $432O collect

Alderman W. G. Cook raised a
howl on this showing, as the mar

A motion was made and carried
that Marshal CreHshaw present the
West side council with bill for

this, and will pay the amount when

We're Shown Yesterday.

Fer the third time an accident in
tervened yesterday to prevent an en-
tirely successful test Of the Bonita Plate
Glass process, but Notwithstanding this
third aggravatns disappointment. the
trial established beyond the least sem
blance of doubt the new machinery "A.
designed by the inventor is perfect IL
every respect and fully capable of do
ing all that is claimed for it.
As far as the process itself was con

tirely practicable. And the test. whic
was three times begun, was virtual

of the stockholders. So the failun
causes nothing more than n triling q

The first test was unsuccessful OWN

failure was due to the negligence of tn,

manufactured, MIR. BOnta, ii can be
well believed, was mo-, a little agGra-
waited by yesterdays disappointment.
The plate which was made yesterday
was, of course. the largest ever manu-
factured. BY the old-time processes
measurement by inches was sufficient
to denote the size of the glass The
initial Bonita plate made yesterday
measured 3 feet by 10 feet. and the
characters pictured thereon were three
quarters life size.

GUS HEEGE'S NEW PLAY.
Al the Academy, - Yenuinc Gentlemen
Is Received with Favor.

The favor won last season by Gus

to the production on generous scale
Of new play treating Of the Scandi-

tne Yentleman." AS presented at the
Academy last evening before an appre-
ciative audience. this interesting melo-
drama disclosed skilful construction,
capable acting and a lavish use Of
scenic and mechanical stage acces-
sories. The play is naturally built so
as to display its hero. Sven Hanson, In
favorable light, but while he easily
retains popular sympathy and ap-
proval there Is felicitous blending of
comedy pathos. racial contrasts and
up-to-date music and stage business, +"
thus varying the menu in a manner to
please all tastes.
With the exception of Mr.. Heege,
whose admirable mimicry of the Swed-
ish character does not need mention,
the best acting of the evening was done
by Merri OsbOurne, In the soubrette
role of Jessie. Svens sweetheart She
also sang a number of character songs
in manner which won for her warm
applause. The remainder OF the COM
pany was competent and the perform

you agree to rely wholly on the collection
of sewer assessments for your pay,

refer you to the recent case of W,tman

supreme court. and reported in lG9 Pa,

litigation that may occur in the attempt
to collect the sewer claims you cannot al

work to be done without s,gn'fying our
intention to contest the collection of as
sessments which we believe to be wholly
without warrant of law. Yours, etc.

The Railroad Young Mems Christian

reach western points earlier and with
less delays than can be done at present.
