ITEMS. FROM
NEW CASTLE,

A few more weeks and New Cas-.
tie will be stirred from one end to
the other by the politicians. The
terms OF Mayor Evan G. Boyd aud
Councilmeu Sehuhardt. Gallagher
aud Reynolds will expire this year.
Mayor Boyd will be a candidate for
reelection. He has strong fol-
lowing in New Castle but he will
be obliged to declare himself as to
the police force. When the third
policeman was put on the force was
the time that Dobbinsville had
large number OF Poles and Hun
garans. That congested district
required the constant attention of
an officer. The Poles and Hun
garians have gone away aud only
half dozen families reside there
at the present time. The $40 paid
in salary tothe third officer in three
years would make considerable i'm
provement to the streets. There
will be at least three candidates
for Mayor. Only one OF them will
win and he will appoint the officers.
Who the. successful candidate will
be remains to be seen alter the votes
are counted. Candidates for City
Council and assessor will be Eumer-
Gus. Lewis Duncan. Edward c.
Wise, Frank McCafferty, Harry
Lancaster. Harry McNally and
Samuel Barnes are mentioned for
the office Of assessor. AS time
draws nearer candidates will be-
come more plentiful.
