Ed. ReqiSter-FOr the past six weeks
everybody have been holding their
breath expecting TO hear the sounds of
cannon shot and she'll over in Cuba.
until the administration scheme has
grown so thin that it can be plainly
seen hat Mark, Nc. and Wall Street
crowd are doing to suit the wishes of
the money kings aud not the people;
so we heave sigh and ask Gods
blessing upon the poor Cubans and
turn our ear to home politics, to again
cease breathing when we are inform
ed that during the lapse Of a few
weeks, a large percentage of the voters
have become candidates. Listen while
| tell you a few Of them: For Mayor:
j. L. Morris, Mr.. Carney, a. j. Nc
Coy and Pat Fitzgerald. Some do not
want Squire Morris because they can't
sway him to suit the would-be rulers
Carney was brought out to cripple his
vote. A. J. Mccoy says he is running
for fun, while Pat Fitzgerald has a
long hard pull with the anti W. c. T.
Z. people and may be elected.
For Alderman in West Ward comes
VIM. Beard, VIM. Wolford and Geo.
Matkins-the trio representing all the
political parties except the Wings,
and know-nothings cannot put money
on that race.
In the East Ward pops up for Alder
man, Con. Kendall and Tom Davidson.
Tom is the present incumbent, and
his record has been in keeping
with the illustrated and magnificent
record of the whole thing since the last
election. Con. is being groomed daily
to run severe race. Be careful
where you put your money here.
For Marshal - Say, wait till /
breathe.) Now, here they are: Chas.
McCabe, Bill Adkins, James Fr.ery,
John Canter and Coon Booth. Each
one claims to have it in his vest pock-
ct, but the trouble likely to be is in
finding the vest pocket. However,
they are very busy and what the re-
suit will be in this race is another
Cuban nut" to crack, but may be de-
cided without Board of Inquiry.
School election has a role off on that
fatal day, and the din of Christian re-
ligion may be aroused to determine
old childish grudges and say who shall
preside as principal next year. TO
settle this question comes before the
voters Henry Bisplinghoff for re-elec-
tion and w. H. Townsend, hot on his
track. Another lot of May wheat at SO
cents if you can tell the winner.
Last, but not least, the rapid strides
of human prOgressiveness go on and
the upheaval produced from this town
two candidates for Clerk of Circuit
Court and Recorder for this county
two weller weIghts-F. F. Beard and
H. W. Coffield, to miDgle their chances
with three other candidates Ito date
Cannot give much idea as to results,
as | have not visited any of the train
ing quarters and know but little of
their plunging qualities.
The Catholic ladies gave a select
hop at the A. o. L. W. hall on ST.
Patrick's night, which was largely at
tended and good time enjoyed by all.
Supper was served by the ladies at the
Commercial Hotel, which was bounti-
full and delicious. The main workers,
Miss Ryan, LucIus and Dora Hitzman
and the Misses Sandman, are to be
congratulated. The net results show
about $40.
Excessive rainfall is not only inter
fering with the farmer, but the Rail-
road Co. is also sharing a backset in
business affairs.
The new time card that was report
ed out on the 21st did not appear. 1t
is looked for in railroad circles next
Sunday, but no special changes are
anticipated, especially, referring to
south main line local or the Arcadia
train. Nix.
