Ericsson and the Gassie gang are try
ing to laugh away the idea that they
have any Of the Brice election Doodle.
They'll continue to laugh. If they can
fool the Democratic workers, and get off
with an expenditure Of 81, 900 or 5000,
there will be from $15. 600 to $4,000 left
for somebody. Isn't that worth merry
bluff? Of course, they'll deny it. But
don't you take any stock in that. Brice
is in this fight with his Doodle. His
gum shoes may make no noise, but
they'll get there, If the people don't
wake up. This is one Of the counties in
which the Democrats claim fighting
chance. It has elected many Demo.
Gratis. In fact, it has not been until
recently that the Court House was re.
deemed from Democracy. This is one
of the kind OF counties Brice is looking
after, and If he doesn't use money here
and bushels of it, there's no devil in hell.
Don't suffer yourselves to be hypnotized
into unbelief by the unctuous denials of
Ericsson and the Cassie gang. Every
dollar Of $20, 900 will come to this county,
If they ask it. And when were they
ever accused Of being too modest TO ask ?

The city fathers met Monday evening
and had quite an interesting meeting.
They seemed determined to look vigor.
ously after the proper attention to the
orders they had given out concerning
the laying and repair Of sidewalk. The
proper officers were instructed to move
pr romptly on the works of those who had
failed to come to time. Such sidewalks
will be built by the city, and all the costs
taxed against the property.
I. Med. Smith presented q petition
from the citizens Of Holmes street, ask.
ing for an investigation by Council of
the county sewer. They wanted the
nuisance remedied by its extension to
John street. There is a horrible stencil
arising from the ravine through which
the discharge from this sewer passes,
and considerable sickness is said to have
resulted from it. The people are entit-
led to relief from this fearful nuisance.
The Council and County Commissioners
will meet to decide upon plan of pro.
cedure, today, and council will hold an.
other meeting tonightto take action.
Several new sidewalks on Thompson
street were accepted.
Utman asked that the riprap on West
street, opposite the Evans & Mcclure
Touring mills, be replaced with sewer
pipe and the street levelled. Because
of scarcity Of funds, it was decided not
to act in the matter at present.
Adjourned until Wednesday evening.
