Ohio, who has come West to cast his

handicap him by stating that he " left

berg brick building, on Main street, on
trial in the Superior Court, Tuesday,
did not consume much time of the
court. When plaintiffs testimony
had been submitted, the court granted
the defendants motion for a non-suit.
The people who occupy Fourth
street between Main and Washington
are high livers. In this little con-
tracted space there are no less than
three meat markets, q bakery, two
restaurant, a soda fountain, three fruit
and candy stands, a drug store, a
provision store, two saloons, three
shoe shops, two tailor shops and two
jewelry stores.

hall, on the evening of December Sd,
to nominate a ticket for city officers,
to be supported at an election held on
the 7th prox. 1t is understood that
the Republicans contemplate running
straight out party ticket. They are
like the " fool fighting"-they do not
know when they have got enough.
Little Oily says that a large major
ity OF Republicans who have so far ex-
pressed an opinion, favor putting up
straight party ticket for municipal Of
ficers. That seems to be a marked
characteristic of the brute, and puts
us in mind of story of goat which
butted at target whenever it was
held to view until it butted its brains
out-a casualty, by the way, which
cannot happen to our party foes for
obvious reasons.
There is nobody in this community
but who will regret that Rev. Father
Classens will be transferred to a new
field of service, at Everett. During
his residence of fifteen years in this
city he has won the respect of all, and
the expressions of sorrow at the loss of
a warm-hearted conscientious worker
in the Lords vineyard are general and
heartfelt. 1t is not yet announced
who his successor will be, but fortunate
indeed will st. Michael's church be in
obtaining his equal.
At an up town charitable festival, the

madam, l was only trying to count
the oysters in this soup" "How
many do you find, sir?" "Well," re-
piled, the guest, when I find the one
l am trolling for and two more, l
shall have three" The brute!

Mrs. Anna Jones, mother of Mrs. NJ.
Hoke, died at the family residence in
this city Monday morning, at the age
of 20 years. She had been confined to
her room n fortnight by congestion of
the liver, but until few hours before
her death no thought of danger of
fatal termination was entertained

came to this city in 1893, with her
