tions yesterday and either today or to-

and townships, the two tickets will be
filed with the county commissioners.
The Quinn ticket will submit their
nominations as those of the Demo-
cratic party. The Judge people will
designate themselves as citizens cam
didates and will make an effort to COM
pei the opposition to adopt some inde-
pendent name, not being willing that
they should enjoy the advantage Of
being in the straight Democratic
column.
The Quinn people feel that they have
complied with the requirements laid
down by Judge Archibald at the hear
ing over the Moosic affair, Saturday
last, and that they will have no diff
Guilty in establishing their right to a
place in the regular Democratic col
umn.

If more energy is not displayed on
the part of the authorities, the city
VIII ne startled some morning by ac-
counts of houseErealiing or sneakthev-
cry that might have been prevented.
The fact is the town is simply infested
with tramps and beggars. Residents
OF the Hill Will state that never have
they been so annoyed by tough looking,
able-bOdied individuals, who ask for
food or clothing. Some times they ap-
pear at the front door and sometimes
at the rear. Occasionally two will call
simultaneously at both, a performance
which usually fills the housewives mind
with suspicion.
Tuesday night, while the family of
II. G.. Sanderson, at the corner OF
Clay avenue and Mulberry street, were
at dinner, a sneak thief endeayored
to climb in the second story front WIN
dows from the balcony. Fortunately
they We're securely fastened and al
though a noise sufficient to attract at
tentiol was heard, when investigation
was made. no one could be found al
though footprints on the upper bal
cony and lawn We're very evident in
the freshly fallen snow.
A number of other people in that
ViCiaity have been much annoyed late
ly by mysterious personages who prowl
about just after nightfall and at the
least appearance of any occupants of
the house, hastily depart. The impress
sion is that the day tramp and beggar
is the night thief.
AN ABOMINATION.

week, "Maam the boarder is at the
! back door, bringing to light the fact
| that the same ill-favored person was

At houses where special regulations
are enforced that tramDs are not to
he fed there seams to be no abatement
of the pest, although it has always
been popularity supposed that by some
mystic free masonry the fraternity
keeps informed as to the fiat places,
the localities whare cross dogs abound
and the other still less desirable homes
where a healthy and strong man is
likely to greet them if they demand too
insistently for pie, instead of bread and
butter.
At one house last week, a tramp
followed the maid into the dining room
and ii he had not seen another Ier-
son in the next apartment would prob
ably have departed along with tk'
silver.
That the house -thievlng is rather
general over the country is illustrated
by the experience at the home of Johr
]. Eyman, at Dallas, last week while
Mrs. Ryman was the guest of he
mother, Mrs. +. c. Lynde, in this city
and other members of the family were
also away.
SCARED BY THE MAID.
During the night thieves broke int
the house and while starting on
search for valuables were scared ava!
by a maid who pluckily enough, al
though alone in the upper rooms, fre'
a revolver out the window, thus alarm
