A Former Representative and Well
Known Resident Gone.

Known KeSl0ent uOne.
Oliver E. Harvey died at his home
in LeRay township Saturday morning,
aged sixty eight years. He had been
sick for a couple Of months, and the

been elected on the Republican ticket.
He was an active Republican, and
generally attended the county conven-
tions as delegate. He accumulated
considerable property by hard work
and prudence. He is survived by his

SEVEN PROPOSALS.
Property Owners Who Offer to Sell
Land For Library Building.

Seven sealed propositions for the sale
of property available for site for the
public library have thus far been re-
ceived by President Wood. of the
library board The most of the sites
offered are on Fourth street, but
Broad and Second are represented A
price is named in six of the proposals.
1t is Dr. Woods idea that the mem
bers of the library board and council
get together Thursday night of next
week and select the three locations
that seem to be the best and forward
them to Mr.. Carnegie with the re-
quest that he indicate his choice. The
council meets Friday night and could
take official action ratifying whatever
was done Thursday night. Only the
property that is offered in the propo-
sails then on hand will be considered,
as it will be taken for granted that
other property is not for sale.
The library board and council should
recollect that the center of population
of the city is between Hickory and
Walnut streets, according to the recent
census, and not at Main street, as some
people have delusion. Walnut street
is the one nearest the center, north
and south, and Fourth street is about
on the center east and west. This
brings the center about opposite the
court house square and in close prox-
unity to the various schools, high,
normal, Catholic and Lutheran.

day evening. At this meeting the

city convention and primaries. Sat-
urday, March Esd, is the last day for

this afternoon that he would take steps
at once looking to the calling of the
convention.
Aid A. G. Meyer stated today that
he had concluded to become a can
didate for mayor, subject to the action
of the Republican city convention.
This has already been practically an
nounced in these columns and will be
no surprise. He will prove a strong
man in the convention.
The name of Senator Benedict has
been mentioned in some quarters in
connection with the mayoralty, but
it is not known whether he will allow
his name to be presented to the con-
vention.
Orange Little has been talked of by
some of the Democrats in connection
with the mayoralty nomination in
their party. The convention might go
further and fare worse
F. g. Heinze has been mentioned as
a good man for alderman from the
Fourth ward. Also Fl. J. Kuhn.
Both have the best interests of the
city at heart.
One of the street force was ar guing
a day or so ago at the city hall

of force which he mentioned was such
a bad thing for the city treasury

floating debt, and expended in street
improvements. In other words, per-
son cannot eat his pie and have it, too.

on these two issues occupying the same
position that Mayor Currier does. He
would prove strong candidate with
the people.
Some of the friends of ex-Alderman
Ed. Bradley have been mentioning his
name this week as good timber for the
mayoralty. He has not yet con-
sented to go before the convention, but
has taken the matter under considera-
tion and will reach determination by
March list. He is contemplating NOV
ing to Seattle, Wash, which would
take him out of the field.
Mr.. Bradley is one of our old and re-
spected citizens, has sound ideas on
municipal government, and would be
hard man to beat if nominated.
The Democrats also have three names
before them. Ex-Ald. Mic Petersen is
being talked of the most, and if he
concludes to go into the contest will
have very strong backing and it would
be no easy task to keep the nomina-
ton from him. 1t might be different
at the polls, for the memory of the
"big four. of the last council has not
yet passed away. However, Mr., Peter
sen in a power in the counsels of the
Democratic party, and withal is a
good citizen, a pleasant gentleman and
capable business man. He is at pre-
sent non-committal on the mayoralty
matter.
Aid Chas. T. Taylor, who has rep
resented the Third ward in the coun-
ell so creditably during the last two
years, has a great many friends who
would like to see him mayor He has
good ideas about city government, is
a splendid presiding officer, and would
prove vote getter if nominated.
He has not yet decided what stand to
take in regard to the matter, or, if he
has, he is not ready to- take the public
into his confidence. He can have the
aldermanship again for the asking, if
he wants it.
Robt Lamm is being mentioned as
a possible candidate. He would be
careful and prudent mayor and would
work Loyalty for the interests of Man
kato and the business men.
! Aids Deebach, Leonard and Jordan
are pretty sure to be renominated.
Aid. Weed, it is understood,
does not desire another term,
and o. w. Schmidt is being men
toned as good timber for the place.
Mr.. Schmidt is competent and cap
able in any position that he is placed.
D. V. Williams will be candidate
to succeed himself as city recorder,
and will probably have no opposition
in the Republican party. His faithful
work is we'll known. G. P. Williams
will probably succeed himself as city
treasurer and J. B. Ogle as special
judge, having discharged the duties of
their offices with ability and credit.
