tCity Caucus and Nominees.

CCity Caucus and Nominees.
CITY caucus Monday evening. Trot
out your candidates for alderman. No
work and large salary. Messrs. Price
Of ward l, Felson of ward 2, ami Short of
ward 3 are the retiring officers. Seri-
ously speaking, while the Offices are
only paid in honor, yet it behoves every
voter to interest himself that whoever is
nominated that it should be man who
has sufficient personal interests at stake to
attend to the business OF the city as if it
was his own. So far as Messrs. Price
and Short are concerned, while we pre-
sumo that either of them would be per-
ferctly satisfied to have good men take
their places. yet, that neither would re-
fuse to serve;iffreelected, and we may
add that no better men can be found to
attend to the business entrusted to their
care. AS measure of their falthfulness
the record shows that during the last two
years the council ;hashad altogether %
meetings. OF these Mr.. Price has been
absent at but two meetings and Mr..
Short at but four meetings. one of which
was adjourned without doing any BUSH
ness. Mr.. Felson mas also a. good record
as alderman bat as he intends to go to,
or be, on his farm outside OF city limits,
he thinks it better that another be select
ed to take his place as he has already
served the city eight years in that capa-
city.

two miles east of Emerson saw the team
her husband had been using drawing out
manure, standing in strange place in
the barn-yard. Wondering, she went out
to investigate, and was Mortified by find
ing her husband lying dead near where
he had been at work. From the nature
of his injuries about the head it is suppos-
ed that he was thrown from the load and
striking on his head fractured his skull
and was killed instantly. He was man
of considerable prominence in local poll

A Rag Bee at Chase's Mills.

Some of the women at Chase's Mills be-
long to the Reading Club, some to the
Literary Club and some to the W. c. T.
u, but all belong to the Snow Shoe Club,
and when the blizzard and the rag bee
came on the same day they just put on
their snow shoes and went to the rag bee.
We offered to haul EN- to the rag bee with
the breaking out team, but they declined,
with thanks. They are all experts on
snow shoes, and put into the snug harbor
of Kate Chase's rag bee without accident.
The air was so full of drifting snow that
you could not see one of 'em only as the
wind lulled little. AS one hove in sight.
who was battling against the wind her
progress was slow, but by turning little
edgewise, thereby presenting smaller
surface to the wind, she went along all
right. Those who sailed in before the
wind had the advantage of the propelling
power of the gale, and went up and down
over the drifts like birds on the wing.
After they had all arrived at Kate S
the piazza. The snow had drifted half
way to the tops of the windows. Inside
it was as warm as summer, and the roses
bloomed in the windows higher than the
snow drifts outside. 1t was rag bee with
not rag in sight, but there was peck
basket full of doughnuts and cut cheese
on the table, and Kate was frying more
doughnuts. There was half bushel of
apples on the table and big coffee pot
steaming on the stove. They passed the
afternoon eating toasted cheese and drink
ing hot coffee, when they were not talking
and laughing, but when the day was.dohe
they were willing to ride home with the
breaking out team without very much
persuasion. When 10 robust women stood
up on that sled, each with pair of snow
shoes in her hand, four horses hitched on,
and a Frenchman to drive, it was a turn
out such as you don't see every day.
