paign as candidates for aldermen of the
Peoples party. John Clancy filed a state
ment declaring he had expended only q

SchQrndD, Df. hawkins and K. j. BISue,
waited upon Mayor Kiefer yesterday
morning 10 ask that an assessor be APP
pointed, and urged that the mayor and
county auditor get together and name
one.
Mayor Kiefer stated that he thought
Chester r. Smith was entitled to It, and
referred the delegation To County Aud
itor johnson.
They waited upon that gentleman and
he did not give than any satisfaction
either
The deadlock continues the same as
ever.
Aid. Murphy has done some good work
Tor his constituents on the north side
OF the Great Northern tracks during tie
last few days. The rebuilding Of the
Rice street bridge it was announced Il
few days ago. would require the closing
of that street to travel for six weeks.
This, ii was plain to be seen, would be
a serious matter for that portion OF he
city tributary to that street and north
OF the tracks, not to mention TO farm
ers who accustomed to use that route
i'll coming &c market because of its con-
veuience.
Accordingly al Thursday nights meet
ing of the council. Aid. Murphy had an
ordinance passed for the I3ianking Of the
tracks on Glaghorn street. one block
west Of Rice street so that tFaNel-ean
/ be teeunfF7estfat ed by that route during
