Coy. LaFollette will today issue to
the city of Lancaster through its rep
resentative, City Atty. Watkins, a
patent by which it comes under the
general charter law for cities and will
hereafter be conducted according to
the provisions set forth therein.
The proposed change has been add
vocated by a majority Of the citizens
of this city for some time and definite
action was taken recently in circulat-
ing petitions praying the council to
take immediate steps in the matter.
The city fathers, while favorable to
the move, and versant with the adj
vantages that were TO be obtained by
its adoption, were opposed TO any
hurried action and wished unanimous
consent of the people before making
the change. a resolution was passed
at meeting last month to the effect
that on a certain date, viz: the LIST
Tuesday in March, ut regular ses-
sion of their body, that the question
would be considered and voted upon.
This procedure was in accordance
with law. Still wishing to give any
one opposed to the change the privi-
lege OF stating his views, mass meet
ing was called at the City opera house
Tuesday evening rs preliminary to
the session of the council. On ac-
count of the severity of the weather
and owing to the fact thata large ma
ior;ty of the citizens had expressed
appreciation previously by signing
one of the numerous petitions favor
ing the move, small attendance was
present when May or Schreiner called
the meeting TO order at P. m.
Matters were quickly disposed of
through a motion by Judge Clement
son that it was the unanimous eX-
preston of the assemblage present
that the council at once proceed with
view OF adopting the new charter.

The Republican County Conven-
called to nominate Republican

TIhe Republlcan county ConVen-
called to nominate a Republican
TT late for county Judge, held at
tie Court House in this city yester-
day afternoon was in many respects
a record breaker.
OF the 1873 delegates entitled to
seats in the convention all were rep
resented but eight-a very rare occur
renee in a judicial convention. The
delegates in the main were earnest,
thoughtful men and from beginning
to end proceeded with their work in a
business like manner.
Then again there was an air of con-
fidence pervading the assembly that
could only exist in body of men who
knew they were right in the princi-
pies advocated and appealed with con-
fidence to the people to sustain not
only Republican principles but the
candidate who they were to name.
Harmony was prevalent on every
hand and the best of feeling char
acterized every elaboration.
d. L. Parker of Fennimore, Chair
, man of the Republican County Cen
trail Committee, called the convention
to order at p. m. He stated briefly
the purpose for which it was called
and incidentally informed the conven-
that credentials from four towns only
were lacking, viz: Watterstown, Mill

for Taylor.

tanned by Mr.. Lowry showed how

decision was satisfactorily received.

REPUBLICAN
CAUCUSES HELD
Primaries for Determining Choice of candi.
dates for County Judge Attracted
Republicans Saturday.
Lowry Carries City, Taylor the Town.

The Republican caucuses held in
Lancaster Saturday afternoon for the
purpose of endorsing a candidate for
the office of County Judge were as in
teresting as are the primaries usually
held for matters of far greater i'm
portance politically. This was occas-
loned by the friendly rivalry predom-
inant between two candidates for the
place, Attorneys Ed NJ Lowry and
S. H. Tag lor, both of this city, and
their lieutenants and supporters on
either side.
Considerable soliciting had been
done previously by both factions and
large crowd of voters assemble
for the purpose of casting vote fav-
oring the candidate of his choice.
The best of feeling existed between
the candidates however and served to
allay any unpleasant situations
throughout the campaign 1t was
fully agreed upon by both parties
that the decision of the caucus would
be final and decisive AID that each
would abide by the will of the major
ity. Tickets had been prepared con-
tanning list of delegates favorable
to each, both in city and town pri-
maries and these little slips We're de-
posted in the ballot box that told the
story at the closing of the polls of
how the winner won and the loser
lost.
THE CITY CAUCUS.
The primary for voters residing in
the city was held at Reeds opera
house and was called to order at 2 p.
m. Mr.. Taylor as Chairman of the
City Committee should have called
the assem- blage to order, but on ac-
count of being one of the aspirants
for the judicial plum expressed mod
esty in performing the duty and was
relieved by Geo. Baxter, who, in his
customary pleasant manner, called
order and explained the situation.
To act as presiding officer Col. j.
q. Clark was promptly named with
out opposition while DR.. j. H. Reed
and John Orion were selected as Sec
retares. Messrs. Thos- Orion and
w. B. Garner were chosen as tellers
and the entire mum Der were sworn at
one time by Atty. II. w. Brown to do
their duty legally and lawfully. The
voting at once commenced and after
one hour allotted for this purpose had
elapsed 3S7 votes had been cast. The
result was as follows,

Arab ana the Telepbone.

We had party Of Arabs along with
us and took them all over great news
paper office. Everything was wildly
astonishing to them. They had imag-
ined that the Koran contained all the
knowledge and wisdom of the world,
yet here were the telegraph the tele-
phone, the electrotype and the printing
press. The place was veritable en-.
chanters' castle to them. They would
never have believed in the telephone f
had not called up their hotel and got
one of their own party at that end Of
the wire.
The 'dervish who had come along was
bold as well as pious. When he heard
that his friend five miles away was
talking through the instrument, he
made dash at it. He was greatly ex-
cited and yelled in megaphone voice.
He thought we were tricking him. but
here was his friend talking Arabic. He
rolled his eyes at me In a despairing
manner and then began a search for
devils, being quite convinced that the
phone was an invention Of satan.-In-

A Queer Frontier nxperience.

In narrating the frontier experiences
of "The First White Baby Born In the
Northwest" in The Ladies' Home Jour-
nal w. s. Harwood tells Of n queer ex-
perience that befell the family in the
first year after settling on farm far
removed from the settlements.
The winter had been unusually long
sions. ran low. 1t was long distance to
the nearest base Of supplies, and COM
munioation with the outside world had
been cut Off, Indians in the neighbor-
hood one night broke into the granary
where the wheat was stored and stole
quantity. In doing this large
amount Of broken glass became mixed
with the wheat which the Indians left,
so for many days, amid much merry
story telling and many joke and
laugh, in spite of the serious situation,
the family gathered about large table
in their living room and spent the
short winter days picking over the
wheat kernel by kernel, in order to
free it from the pieces of glass.
For this wheat stood between them
and starvation. and none of its pre-
cious kernels must be lost Their stock
of -four had long since wasted away,
as had most of their food supplies, so
they boiled and ate the wheat without
grinding. Relief reached them just in
time to prevent a sad ending to the ex-
perience
