COUNTY TICKET NAMED.

Hartford Convention.

Hartford Convention.
Van Buren, county republican NOM
mating conventions have for years been
the forum in which has been fought out
the battle for public officers in this
county. A republican nomination has
been, as it is now, equivalent TO an
election, and greater contest has been
seen each election year in the republi-
can conventions, than has appeared
afterward at the polls But even in
this county of exciting nominating con-
ventlons, it is doubtful if there ever
assembled a more noteworthy gather
ing of this character than the one at
Hartford on Wednesday of last week,
and seldom have the preliminary can
vases been more complete or the
rivalry in the conventions more spirit
ed In spite of this fact, however, the
utmost of good feeling prevailed, and
the friends of all the candidates, the
defeated ones as well as the successful
indeed, the candidates themselves all
manifested the most harmonious inten'
ton to Loyalty support the ticket that
was uamed by the majority OF the con
venton of the republicans of Van
Buren, County. If there were any sore
spots, they were carefully and judi
ciously concealed, and will not be in

The selection of candidate for coun-
ty clerk proved to be the hardest con-
test of the day. Before any names were
presented, II. +. Squier, the present
clerk, came before the convention and
announced that he had decided not TO
be candidate for third term. While
this simplitied the situation somewhat,
it still left so many candidates in the
field that it required four ballots to
make choice. There was a majority
for Mr.. Buck on the third ballot, but as
there was one more vote than there
were delegates in the convention,
new ballot was ordered. w. G.. Nc
Carthy of Lawton presented the name
of Joseph S. Buck of Antwerp; Milan
Virgins nominated Charles Killefer of
Bloomingdale; Frank Wakeman named
Charles +. Robinson of Lawrence, and
Geo. Rich presented Bangs +. Warner
of Waverly. The result of the ballots
was as follows:

Will Improve Their Voices by working
on Operas, Etc.
An interesting meeting was held
at the chapel room of the Y. M.
c. A. last evening. W.T. ere q choral
class was being organized by Prof.
Ed Keck. of Chicago. The time was
mostly spent in testing voices of
different persons and showing to
them and the audience the good aud
defective methods of using the voice.
It was entertaining and profitable to
all who were fortunate enough to be
present.
The object OF this organization is
to get together the singers of Rock
Island and work on some opera or
oratorio that will require their best
efforts. SO as to be profitable to them
and credit to the city. And to
this end it is desired that as many
as possible o, our singers be present
at another meeting to be held next
Thursday evening.
Mr.. Keck comes highly recon-
mended and by his work has already
demonstrated that he thoroughly un-
derstands his profession and is c.
pable OF imparting knowledge and
creating enthusiasm.

"All the theatres last night had

what it lacked ia numbers. The
drama, which is the work Of DEN.

has been done elsewhere by Mr.. Man

is melodrama Of strength founded
upon the hero's love for and marriage
with a girl who loves another. but
sacratices herself to save her father
from poverty. 1t is the old story
which has often been told. Tee plot
is evolved by means Of slow poison
administered by modern Iago, ard
terminates with the latter's death
and happy reunion Of husband and
wife. The star won hearty applause
by his work, which differs in no way
from his methods in former sue

A WILD MAN At LARGE.


Strange Appearing Half Clad Fellow b
ecots County.
Scott county has q veritable wild
man within its fertile confines. For
the past week rumors OF q strange
specimen Of human kind have spread
around in the vicinity of Mt. Joy and
the freak was described in a dozen
different shapes, forms and condi-
lions. 1t however, remained for the
various train crews on the Chicago,
Milwaukee & St. Paul road running
into Davenport, to see him in all his
wierd and uncomely style of beauty.
His rendezvous is by the side of the
rail way track about two miles south
east of Mt. JOY. A hollow is his
habitation and q half score of cast
away railway ties his boon compan-
ions. Invariably he faces toward
the west. probably iustigated in
50 doing by a native antipathy
towards water. His brunette locks
are Of q chrysanthemum shagginess.
and frequently frowzed and furrowed
by byperborean breezes. His raj
ment is as simple as bis habits. and
consists mainly of a pair Of overalls.
AMI his skin is Of an APPALLING shade
of dust-defying brown. His face has
a woiiish appearance and his eyes a
CLEAN and glitter that betoken mad
ness As il to show his aesthetic
disposition. he keeps a fire burning
to cheer his silent vigils, and when
ever q train approaches his abode be
assumes q recumbent position aud
eyes his watchers with fierce
CLEAN.
So startling has his persistent stay
become that the police of Davenport
have been notified, and while one
trip has been made in vain by them
another will shortly be taken, and
the what-is-it brought to bav.
