ALDERMANIC RACE
IS FEATURELESS,
Light Vote Was Poll d IN
Primary.
SHERLOCK BoRUM AND BOLTON
Game Down the Pike Ahead of the
Other PAGERS and Are the Nomi-
nees-Less Than 400 Votes PoIIed
In Registration of Nearly 700

s. M. Bolton, G. J. Sherlock and d.
M. Borum were the nominees in yes
terday g aldermanic primary, and when
it is considered that four others were
in the race the score was a good one.
For there were but 392 votes to be par
celed ont among the seven who fain
would sit in high places and admins
ter affairs.
election or one in which SO little inter-
est was manifested.
The registration ran close to the 700
mark. yet only 992 voters, or little
more than half of those qualified to
vote, cared enough about public af-
fairs to come to the polls and cast a
ballot.
They seemed indifferent to the s1tua-
ton, or else just didn't care.
Among the candidates and their
immediate supporters there was the
usual activity incident to an election,
but the hypnotised citizen took little
notice of this. It mattered little to
him what the tax rate would be next
year, if they would only let him sit by
the fire yesterday instead of making
him walk whole block to vote.
Civic pride aud the public veal were
not as much as quiet nap.
Let the fire plugs rust for grease;
paint advertisements of Punk's Pink
Pills on the water tower; tear up the
city hall park; plug up the artesian
we'll after sunset; put the tax rate to
the extreme limit; shake down the
waterworks system, but don't disturb
my quiet repose, On with the dance,
and let the public be id.
Such, it seems, was the conclusion
reached by many voters.
Few people remained about the polls
during the voting hours, and the re-
suit as announced at O'Clock occa-
stoned little surprise as it was generally
conceded that the race would be close
among four or five of the candidates.
The vote received by each of the seven
aspirants was as follows.
J. s. Bolton 245, G. J. Sherlocks 199,
D. Nj. Borum 1872, L M, Hansford
III, F. b. Arthur 161, j, W. Query
1874, W. J. Gum 20. Seven called;
three chosen.
This is the sixth term of two years to
which Mr.. Sherlock has been elected,
evidencing the confidence reposed in
him by the people. MIR. Bolton enters
upon third term, and will doubtless
be in the line of succession to the may
orally next time. Mr.. Borum is ''new
hand" at the business, but will make
an excellent official.
The lucky ones were the recipients
of many congratulations last night, as
were also those who failed to land in
the troublous aldermanic sea.

Skin, Scalp and Blood
Humours
Speedily Cured by Cuticura
Soap, Ointment and Pills
When the Best Physicians and
All Else Fail.

The agonizing itching and burning
of the skin, as in eczema the frightful
scaling, as in psoriasis; the loss of hair
and crusting of the scalp, as in scaled
head; the facial disfigurements, as in
pimples and ringworm; the awful suf-
fering of infants, and anxiety of worm
out parents, as in milk crust, letter and
salt rheum, all demand a remedy of
almost superhuman virtues to success
fully cope with them. That Cuticura
Soap, Ointment and Pills are such
stands proven beyond all doubt. No
statement is made regarding them that
is not justified by the strongest evil
dence. The purity and sweetness, the
power to afford immediate relief, the
certainty of speedy and permanent
cure, the absolute safety and great
economy have made them the standard
skin cures, blood purifiers and humour
remedies of the civilized world.
Battle the affected parts with hot
water and Cuticura Soap, to cleanse the
surface of crusts and scales, and soften
the thickened cuticle. Dry, without
hard rubbing, and apply Ctticura ONT
ment freely, to allay itching, irritation
and Inflammation, and soothe and heal,
and, lastly, take the Cuticura Resolvent
Pills, to cool and cleanse the blood.
This complete treatment, cpsting but
one dollar, affords instant ielief, per-
mits rest and sleep in the severest
forms of eczema and other itching,
burning and scaly humours Of the skin,
scalp and blood, and points to a speedy,
permanent and economical cure when
all other remedies and the best physi-
clans fail

WISCONSIN
WANT THEIR UNION RECOGNIZED

Fuel Situation at Milwaukee Complicated
= .. by a Strike. .-.-. ~
MILWAUKEE,, WIS.-The strike of the
transfers of the Milwaukee Western Fuel
coal consumers of this city. This COM
pany was formed a year ago by. the COM
bination of a majority of the coal COM
panies and does 70 per cent of the retail
coal business.
The fifty teamsters who struck, it is
learned, were not influenced by a desire
for an increase of wages. but that their
newly formed union should be recognized
by the company.
The spread of the strike will cause great
hardship. The strikers have demanded
a contract for one year, and that none
but union men be Employed; also that no
man be discharged or laid off without the
union being notified as to the cause.
President Young - informed President
Uhrig of the coal company that the union
was in position to enforce observance OF
a contract. Mr.. Uhrig took the. position
that the. company was paying the union
scale, both as regards hours and ovel
| time, and he could see no reason for en-
| tering into such a contract, as the mer
had no grievances. He maintains thai
| the company cannot recognize the union
and that men enough to make the deliV.
cries of coal can be secured If the com
pany has proper police protection. The
leaders Of the strike have discountenanceo
violence.

A KEEN INTEREST TAKEN
DR.. Lorenz Tells Why America Is a
Great Country.

New oYrk, Jan. 2.-Before sailing for
Europe. DR.. Lorenz said:
when l came here to perform an
operation on the little Armour child. I
had a vague idea that at least the sur
geons and physicians of the country would
take an interest in my work, as I knew
they had been following my bloodless
method for the last few years. I also
thought that some of the Deople-those
who follow closely every step forward that
science makes-night take a passing in
terest in my work. But never for an in
slant did I dream that this interest would
be almost universal, and when I first re-
allied that not hundreds but millions
were taking deep interest in my opera
tions, it dawned on me like a flash that
the reason the United States is the great
prosperous country that it is, lies in the
keen interest all the people take in every
advance made by science, no matter what
branch it is. - es-- f.. 49,.
