MARYE UNDECIDED.-A letter from
Richmond says:
Notwithstanding the urgent appeals
of his friends to become candidate for
governor, Col. Morton Marye has not
decided to do so. He is attending
strictly to business and apparently is
satisfied to serve the people of Virginia
as auditor of public accounts, a position
he has filled for several years with hon.
or to the State and credit to himself
There are many people who think he
would make an ideal chief executive.

POLITICAL.

The democratic State convention of
Minnesota yesterday declared for the
gold standard and sent sound money
delegation to Chicago.
Some of Senator Germans active po-
litical friends in Baltimore yesterday
began to boom him for the presidential
nomination upon compromise silver
platform.
Senator Daniels friends are under
stood to be dead in earnest in pressing
him for the second place on the presi-
dental ticket. These gentlemen are
satisfied that this place will be given to
the South, and that being conceded,
they claim that no candidate mentioned
will be as popular as the senior Senator
from this State. Mr.. Daniels friends
are believed to be in correspondence
with silver leaders in all sections of the
country, especially those in the south
ern States.
Mr.. Marley, the manager of Speaker
Reeds canvass at st. Louis, yesterday
explained that his statement on We'd
nesday, that Mckinley would be nomi-
mated on the first ballot, was prompted
by the manner of the national commit
tee in disposing of the case of contested
delegates. Mr.. Manley declares that
he is doing everything he can to bring
about Mr.. Reeds nomination. Of As
contested cases of delegates decided by
the national committee, forty. five have
been in favor of Mckinley. Senator
Lodge announced yesterday that he
would take up the fight for Speaker
Reed for the presidency and push it to
the end in the st. Louis convention.
Mr.. Reed said in Washington last night
that his name would be presented to
the convention. The indications are that
Charles W. Fairbanks will be Temporal
ry, chairman, and Senator Thurston
permanent chairman. 1t appears now
that the platform will declare for the
gold standard, though it is said to be
Mr.. Hanna's fiat.footed determination
|. that there shall be no specific gold STAN
ard declaration in the platform.
Ex-Congressman Bowden, of Norfolk,
has arrived at st. Louis. He is dele
gate from his district, but his seat is
contested by ex-Congressman Libbey.
Mr.. Bowden thinks that he is certain
to hold the seat, and Mr.. Libbey is al
most as confident he will be awarded
the certificate. The case will probably
not be decided to day. When the whole
delegation arrives, it is said, fierce
contest will be waged to supplant Col.
William Lamb, of Norfolk, as the men,
Der of the national committee.

LIME SPRINGS. la MAJ

LIME SPRINGS, IA, March 12, '96.
MIR. EDIToR:-In the Lime Springs
Sun of Friday, March 13, l see an ar
ticle entitled, Thoughts on the cleo
t1on," which strikes me, an uninter-
ested party, as being the escaping
steam from a sore head. Why "Citi-
zen' should class such men as our
worthy postmaster, NJ. L. McNally,
Frank Burns, Geo. Wetter, and the
balance of the victorious ticket as
champions of King Alcohol, is beyond
our comprehension. What has mu-
nicipal election in a community of
this size, got to do with man or men
on Judgment Day? Why will it be
harder for democrat to appear at
the bar of God and answer for the
way he cast his vote for Mayor or Al
derman of Lime Springs than it will
for republican? Why would it not
be as we'll for a saloon to be licensed
to sell pure liquor by the glass, us for
the drug stores to sell poison by the
gallon? We are not posted as to the
hearts of the new city officers, but
even if they were inclined to licens-
ing saloons, the only thing that could
be said against it would be that it
would cut eff a very considerable
amount of the drug stores daily re-
celpts. Besides, if there we're licens ID
saloons, there would be some revenue
to the city, where now, there is
nothing coming in and the city has to
bear all PROSECUTIONS for disorderly
conduct from the funds derived by
taxing the poor, and these disorder
lies generally die young from cor
tinuous use of drug store whiskey.
Now if the apology for man who
signed himself "Citizen," doesn't be-
long to some drug store, lie has a
very warm personal friend who does,
and We'll wager the doughnuts that
any one Of the city officers elected at
the last election stand as good
chances of squaring themselves with
the Judge up above as Citizen does.
We have short story abont a blue
jay which we would like to tell to Cit
izen, and will, if opportunity ever
presents itself.

Cresco's New School Building,

At its recent election, Cresco voted
by very decisive majority in favor
OF IL six thousand dollar school house
to be located in the first ward. This
structure we learl from members of the
BOARD is to be a two story building,
probably with basement, and will con-
tain four capacious school rooms, and
with the school buildings already built
will amply supply 1.-the requirements
OF the city for several years. For the
nealth and comfort of the pupils,
The building should be heated
oy furnace with either steam or hot
water to the end that the oxygen or
vital air necessary to healthful respi-
ration may not be consumed or vitiated
oy the presence of over heated stoves.
This structure should be made not
only an ornament to the city, but
should be made to proclaim the beauty
and durability of the natural building
material which exists in great abund-
dnce and superior quality within the
very borders of the city The city
owns Que of the best stone quarries to
be found in this part of Iowa, lying
entire within its limits, and the use Of
lts material in school building would
IN ike one of the most substantial ard
one of the grandest and most beautiful
stru :ture5 for school purposes in tie
state. We have an abundance of Ia
Dor which could be proftably employ
ed in raising the stone from the quar-
ry; the money paid therefor would be
chic ly spent to build up and to beauti-
fy our city, and to delray the living
ex .oenses OF those performing this la
Dor. In this work a large quantity of
| tone wolld be raised which would be
unfit for building purposes, but all
this material is needed upon our roads
and streets, and thus taken out could
oe reduced by the city's rock crusher
seady for use, at Il nearly nominal cost.
All this work can and should be done
oy our own people resident within our
city limits, thus using the material
with which the city is abundantly sup
piled and the common day labor and
the skilled labor that it has in abund-
ance for all its requirements.

The Doings Of the Mayors Court,

Mayor Kellow furnishes u report Of
the doings OF the Mayors court from
March 1st 1895 to March 1st 1896,
from which it will be seen that of the
thirty cases before him for violations
of the city ordinances, twenty-seven
plead guilty and three stood trial and
were found guilty. 1t will be further
noted that though there were but q
cases OF drunkenness during the year,
that 80 of those arraigned attributed
their commission Of offence as caused
by drinking. Four OF the plain drunks
have occurred since the saloons were
closed, like proportion are problbly
attributed to the drug stores or boot
leggers before the saloons were opened
leaving about a stand off between the
bootleggers and the drug stores on one
side and the saloons on the other. q.

$1oo FOR ONE KISS.
Freddie Young's oscuIatory Experience
 Goats Rim Dear.

It cost Freddie Young just $100 to kiss Hattie Price Not $I0o in theater tickets, street car fares. ice cream socia- bles and pink teas, but $100 in single lump.
 The kiss occurred Monday evening at the Van Buren Street station of the H. linois Central railroad Its value was fixed yesterday by Justice Underwood at the Harrison Street police court. Freddie had not counted on kisses con- ing so high. He did not come prepared to pay SO much. So last night he sat in the county jail and thought and thought and thought.
 He was not especially sad, was Fred die. After the judge assessed him $100 for single kiss he thanked his lucky stars he had not kissed Miss Price three or four times or hugged her. or held her hand for half an hour.
 "For if had, '' said Freddie naively, as he stood i'll the middle of his cell and kicked vigorously at himself, 1T should probably have been hung CT sent to the penitentiary for life.
 Tine tragedy occurred OH the plat form of the Van Buren street station. As Freddie approached the station on the fatal evening the dusk was falling. Freddie was also fa1ling-now and then. He had tarried at divers wine shops, and his pathway to the station across the Lake Front park was cratic While sitting on a bench listening to the sad murmur of the waves Miss Hat tie Price, the heroine of the little drama approached Freddie and Miss Price had never met before, but ill tho condition in which Freddie was that did not bother him in the least In fact, he wasn' t quite sure whether 1t was woman CT the Illinois Central depot. But as the depot, together with the sta tion and the Auditorium, had just strolled by and were not due again for two minutes, Freddie decided it must be a woman.
 He immediately decided he loved her In his joy he sprang to his feet and threw his arms around threo or four feet of atmosphere i'll q frantic attempt to hug the object of his adoration Fi- nally, by tremendous effort, he caught her hand and succeeded in kissing Miss Price She screamed, and the commut- CTS dashed to the rescue. Freddie crawled up on the railing and fell over into the park and into the arms of Po- liceman McGrath.
