| Creston, Sept. 15.-The democrats OF
| Union county are having a hard time
to find men to fill all the places on their
ticket this fall. The convention 4eft the
office of county superintendent blank,
as they could find no one willing to
make the race. They also nominated
7. S. II. Dougherty for representative,
but Mr.. Dougherty was away from
home at the time, and when he return
ed wrote a letter declining the nomi-
The democratic county committee held
a special meeting and endeavored to in
duce Mr.. Dougherty to make the race,
refusing to accept his resignation from
the ticket Great influence is being
brought to bear upon him to allow the
use of his name. He is quite wealthy
and was formerly farmer. He has
not yet reconsidered his decision not to
run and the ticket still contains two
blank spaces. The prohibitionists have
a full ticket in the field and the repub-
licans who feel confident of complete
victory are going ahead with prepar-
ations for vigorous campaign.
There were some parties from Ting
lev in Creston yesterday in search OF
youug boy who had run away from
home and was supposed to have come
here with some race horse men. The
police were appealed to. but could find
ma
to Greenfield, but were also unsuccess-
full at this place. 1t is now thought tha
boy may have gone off with some snow
and the parents are stlll continuing
their efforts to find him.
A peculiar state of affairs In the city
was brought to light by the arrest OF
Mrs. McMullen for prostitution mere
last week. The woman had been caus-
ing much trouble and was finally ar
rested and brought before the mayor
on charge of prostitution. when u
was discovered that there was no city
ordinance against the crime, ana tha1
she could not be prosecuted. she was
fined $40 for disorderly conduct ana
the fine RENTED on payment OF costs
and a promise to reform. Inc CITY
attorney was ordered to prepare at
once an ordinance against such crimes
and present it at the next session OF the
city council for adoption
