When will it come, grandma p
in few weeks
"How many days ?
Twenty four .
Perley selected short piece of twine,
and strung on it twenty four pieces of APP
pie. "I'll take one off every morning
until Billy comes, he said, gleefully; but
grandma only sighed, for once uncheered
by the child hope and trust.
And SO the days came and went; and
on Christmas morning Perley drew off the
last piece of apple. He was quite pale as
he did so, but Immediately his face flushed
and he ran to look out of the window.
After waiting few minutes Perley saw
a pair of horses coming up the lane, and
with joyous shout he, called his grandma.
Perley rushed out to meet the driver, and
shortly the mother, son and grandson were
hugging each other, crying, talking and
laughing The old home was purchased
and retitted and all returned to it and the
grandma passed her days in peace. Billy
says it is all owing to his little nephew that
he became better man, s'For Of such Il

Anent City Election.

AS the time for the election draws
near, there is naturally some discussion
as to prospective candidates for the
different offices to be filed, and as to
the method of nominating and elec;ing
these officers. At the election to be
held in this city March 25th, the fol.
lowing offices are to be filled:
Mayor-to succeed Geo. w. Adams,
Attorney to succeed Dan Shea.
Treasurer-to succeed e. j. Curtin.
Assessor-to succeed c. F. McMas.
ters.
Alderman--1st ward, to succeed Jno
Stoskoff; End ward, to succeed o. G.
Arneson; Srd ward, to succeed Geo
Bernatz; 4th ward, to succeed w. E.
Teskey.
We had expected this week to give
list of the prospective candidates fol
the various offices, but as yet no papers
have been filed and the list is not com.
plete, so we will defer it until later.
There are many voters in the city
who argue that ward caucuses should
be held for nominating delegates
to a city convention, which shall nomi'
nate the candidates for the different
offices, and still others who think that
strictly party tickets should be put into
the field. The latter is done in many
neighboring cities and might be prefer
able for Decorah. However, our only
contention is that officers shall bt
elected who are practical, expert
enced business men, and who are cap
able of conducting the city's affairs in
manner satisfactory to the largest
number. We have no bones to picl
with anyone, and believe that the bes
man for each Office will in most case!
at least be chosen, and yet we feel tha
it is matter that every citizen should
take an interest in. Our columns viii
be open for discussion of the question!
above referred to, and we would be- eglaC
to hear from representative citizens a.
to their views of the situation. Shal
a convention be held, or not?

THE name of Senator w. F. Harri-
man, of Hampton, is added to the list
of candidates for governor. Senator
Hartman was four years in the lower
house, six years in the senate, director,
vice-president and preside 1T of the
State Agricultural Society, and is a
man in every way highly qualified for
the position. His executive ability,
conservatism and rare judgment, aside
from geographical location and freedom
from combination, will make him a
strong candidate. The other candi-
dates now In the field are Hon. Geo. ID.
Perkins, of Sioux City and Hon. Sid.
ney Foster and Hoa. A. b. Cummins
of Des MONIES.
