Inquiries are being made as to why it
is that no city caucuses are announced.
Four aldermen, one from each ward,
and two justices of the peace, are to be
elected. The mistake in not holding
caucuses lies with the ward committee
of each of the four wards whose duty
it is, according to provisions OF the
new charter, to call caucuses in the
usual manner for each precinct. City
Clerk Michaelis or the council are in
no way to blame. 1t is now necessary
that nomination papers be circulated
for any who desire to make the run
for aldermen or justices. These are
to be filed with the city clerk at least
days previous to election day
Ward committees should acquaint
themselves with their duties that such
complicated conditions do not occur
again.

Now come the saddest moments of
the year, for the legislatures are ad-
journing soon to let thousands of pet
bills sleep the sleep that knows no
waking. The taxpayer will soon be
offering thanks that his legislature did
not do worse, and commerce will go on
without fear of cinch laws and lobbyists
for aonther 2 7ears. The judiciary of
some 81 states and several territories
and dependencies are sharpening up
their axes preparatory to dispatching
the laws that do not come up to their
ideas of constitutional requirments;
and the lawyers will soon be harvesting
fees for persuading the courts that the
legislature did not know what they
wanted, what the people wanted or
what the constitution provides.

spring and at the election on April 7th
it will be necessary to choose their
successors. All are careful, painstak-

to again accept aldermanic honors,
should be reelected by all means.
There are so many matters of vital in
terest unsettled relating to city affairs
with which these men are familiar
that their knowledge of existing con-
ditions is invaluable. Each has looked
after the welfare of his own ward as

creditable diplomacy and it is well to
keep such men at the helm.

as to whom the democrats will choose

else. Another says Germans selection

THE EMPRESS EMSY.
Lady Whom the Emperor of Corea
Privately EspOused and Gave
Many HOnOrs.

In discussing the other day the sit
uation in Corea, the Sviet asked who
was Lady Emsy. The Russian journal
now replies to it's own inquiry Emsy
is the lady whom the emperor of Corea
privately espoused after the murder of
his consort, and he has since heaped
the highest court honors upon her
His majesty has declared his intention
on the occasion Of the fortieth ami
versary of his reign, of having Lady
Emsy proclaimed empress, and her
son the imperial crown prince. The fu-
ture empress is woman of intelli-
gence and ambition. The emperor de-
sired that all the great powers should
send special representatives to- Seoul
for the jubilee festivities and the en-
thronement of Empress Emsy. With
the exception of England and Japan
these invitations were declined, says
the London Standard. The Sviet adds:
I'm consideration of the important
role which Empress Emsy is likely
to play in the future court politics of
Corea, the Toxic government has prom
ised to send member of the mikado's
family to assist at the coming festivi-
ties at Seoul. England follows the ex-
ample. of her ally, and will be specially
represented by Sir Claude Macdonald,
the British minister at Toxic. There
can be no doubt, of course, that these
courtesies on the part of Japan and
England will secure to those powers

of them will simply be a guide board

minence in the present assembly than

England stock. His father is a Yer
monter, and of the Smalley family,
several m embers of which have attained
to national and international reputa-
ton as newspaper writer's. He is a
stout supporter of Gov. LaFollette and
q ntofI
of the very best elements of the young
supporters whose sincerity and devo-
ton gives Gov. LaFollette his political
hold in wisconsin. Mr.. Smalley. who
Is 81, represents one of the oldest dis
tricts of the state. It contains the
home Of the first governor of wiscon-
sin, Nelson Dewey. Grant county was
represented in the constitutional con-
vention of 1847 by a notable list of
names. They we're erasmus Cole,
George w.Larkin, Alexander D.Ramsey
william Richardson and John Ell.
Rountree. erasmus Coles home was

Birch Tree Citizens Think Murderer
Intended to Kill Mrs. Cai.ton In
stead of Della Johnston.
REPUBLIC SPECIAL.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Birch Tree. Mo. June 19.-The belief Is
growing here that little Della Johnston was
murdered by mistake for her aunt. Mrs.
Charles Chiffon. There is no known mo-
tive why any one should seek the life OF
the innocent child, while Mrs. Chiffon ad-
mits that she has enemies who might be
prompted TO kill her.
At the Coroner's inquest Mrs. Chiffon
testified that she was asleep in the front
room at the time of the killing. and ran
out into the yard. when George Johnston
called for help, but to-day she admitted
that she was in the rear yard talking TO
Charles Nesbitt. a friend. when the cries
were heard. She declared she heard
child crying at the house nearly half an
hour before Johnston called for help, but
they paid no attention to II.
Nesbitt admits being in the rear yard. and
tells the same story: 1t was on this state
nent that Johnston was arrested and
lodged in Jail.
Will Johnston. father of the murdered
girl, returned from Eminence this morning.
He declares his belief in George Johnston 5
innocense. Il do not believe George did
it, he said. Il think it was 4 mistake. Mrs.
Chiffon has bitter enemies and l think II
was intended for her. No, George did not
kill Della, and l hate to see him put in
jail
Andrew Johnston. a brother of Will john
ston. and detective arrived to-day TO rem
der assistance in solving the mystery.
