the final stage where the court makes
u decree establishing such districts.
On this point Judge Archibald says:
''1'he general objection made to the
nomination papers that they are ac-
cOrding to wards, and that ut the time
the caucuses We're held no wards had
yet been established, does not. In my
Judgment, affect them.
while II is true then that these
nominations We're made pending the
final confirmation Of the report and In
anticipation of 1t. yet the proceedings
Were SO far begun looking to u division
that In case a division was made by
the decree of the court no other nomin-
atiOns than those that have been made
could really have stood. and IL the citi-
Zens had awaited the confirmation of
the report they would not have been in
time to have made the nominations as
they have. The situa tiOn was peculiar.
and having been acted upon by all par
ties alike by nomination papers, 1t
seems to me tina: the court would be
going far beyond what the circumstan-
ces require to set these nominations
aside and say that they should not have
been for the ward but for the borough"

COMING ATTRACTIONS.

LAND of the Midnight Sun" is one Of
the recent additions 10 the long list Of
melodramas that has sprung into favor on
short notice, There Is delightful fresh
an old subject. II does SO In such new
way that 1t might be classed a new play.
The piece Is one Of those peculiarly con-
structed melodramas written to please Il
better class OF theater-soers as well as
the galleries. The scenes of the play are
laid In the hills OF North Carolina and
the ever-frozen shores of Iceland. which
admit of great scenic display and mar
elvous mechanical effects. In dealing
with Iceland the public Is given a glimpse
of a country of which very little Is known.
and therefore is u novelty. This striking
drama will he seen at the Academy OF
Music tonight.
The attraction at the Academy of Music
tomorrow night is Rush CITY," which Is
an extravagantly ludicrous but logically
connected farce-comedy. Mr. Heege has
made many observations OF life In the
far west during his frequest visits, and

One Of the best all around attractions
Of any that have ever appeared at

what II is. The story of the play is so
entertaining that the introduction of a
speciality, even a good one, seems
cruelty to the auditor.

Judge Archibald handed down an

of the three wards of WintOn borough.
The hearing took place i'm the main

The principal exception. as noted yes

the nominations were made, were held
before the decree of court was formu-

The opinion is an important one in
view of the contention that no steps

SOME REASONS FOR A CHANGE.

The same arguments which are being
used for the return of Hon. Thomas
Updegraf to congress might be used to
continue any man in Office during his
entire life time. 1t is true that some
men are slower than others in learning
the work of an office or position, and it
is not true that German needs to be in
Washington ten or twelve years i'm order
to have standing among the members
of that body; for if that were true then
the first Republican congress would of
necessity have been failure. James A.
Garfield, Horr, of Michigan, Burrows,
of Michigan, and a host of others went
to the front i'm their first term and made
a record of which the country is proud
today. But there are other cOnsidera-
tions i'm the matter of keeping man i'm
congress term after term beside the
mere fact of his learning to be good
legislator. The fruit of a mans labor
must determine to some extent just how
useful he is to the people whom he
represents and the condition of the
district as to being stronger or weaker
at the polls by reason of his work I'm it
for the party. One reason for change
in this district is that the county desir-
ing the return of Mr.. Updegraf is
unable to do but little at the polls in
making his election sure. This county
presents no name to the convention not,
perhaps for that reason, but it is good
reason nevertheless. The east side of
this district has had the representative
for years except the two years of Mitchell
county's representative and yet the
west side does the voting which places
a Republican i'm office. There are no
fights on Mr.. Updegraff, nor should
there be, but he has had the office for
years and is the oldest member of the
Iowa delegation except Sen. Allison
and it will be difficult to make the
young men of the party see just how
they are ever to have an opportunity to
work for their country, if the offices are
to be filled for life by the present occu-
pants. 1t is the deliberate judgement
of large number of men i'm this district,
men who do good service for the party
that we should choose some strong
young man for the place now occupied
by Mr.. Updegraf and thus evidence to
the rising young men of the district
that we are in favor of the recognition
of those who work for the principles of
the party. In this district there are no
bosses, in this county every Republic
can should, and no doubt does, feel q
deep interest in the nomination of the
entire ticket this fall, for much depends
on the work for the next four years in
congress and in the open fields as to
the future Of the party. MI. Blythe
has shown himself entirely competent
to make strong, able representative;
he has also demonstrated that he is an

to be uneasy lest the election should 60
to our opponents by default; he will

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.

Mr.. George Armstrong, of Winnie
bago City, Minn., and Miss Esther
McCaffery, of Bluffton, Iowa, were
married in Decorah last Wednesday,

The bride is the daughter of Mr.. and

DIXSON-FRANCISCO.

On last Wednesday morning, at
eight o'clock, occurred the marriage of
Mr.. Harry Dixson and Miss Lottie
Francisco, at the residence of the
BRIDES parents i'm this city, Rev. HI. H.
Green ID. ID. officiating. The house
was very beautifully decorated with
ferns, roses and different kinds of cut
flowers and the ceremony was per-
formed in the sitting room, beneath a
beautiful bower of syringas. The pro-
cessiOn entered the room to the music
of MendelsOhn's Wedding March, led
by Master Glen Dixson, brother of the
groom, and Miss Ethel Francisco,
sister of the bride, followed by the
groom and DIR. Green and the bride
with her father. The Episcopal ring
service was used. After this the newly
married couple received congratu-
lations, and then followed a delicious
wedding breakfast. Mr.. and Mrs.
Dixson left the same morning for st.
Paul and a trip into Canada, for visit
with relatives.
Mr.. Dixson enjoys wide acquain-
tance in this city, and through his
connection with the Popular Shoe
Store has won the respect and esteem
of the community, and the bride, who
has grown to young womanhood in
Decorah, has become general favorite
with all who know her. We are glad
to join with the friends of these young
people in wishing them a happy
and prosperous welded life.

A Good Prediction.

There is little doubt of the election of
the eleven republican nominees. The
democrats are badly split in Iowa ON
the silver question. Politicians gener-
ally are of the opinion that Iowa will
be represented in congress by s. M.
Clark, Geo. M. Curtis, d. B. Hender-
son, J. E. Blythe, Robert Cousins, j.
F. Lacey, J. A. T. Hull, w. P. Hep
burn, H. H. Byers, ]. p. Dolliver, and
q. w. Perkins. The names are given
in the order of the districts.
The above was clipped from the st.
Paul Dispatch of June 10th i'm the cor
respOndence from Des Moines.
