Little Interest is Taken
 in Registration.

The office for the registration of voters is in Giese's hardware store. and there City Clerk White may be found from 10 o'clock in the morning until 3 in the afternoon.
 Registration is progressing very slow ly, only l34 votes being registered to date The books will close on March 2S, ten days prior to the day of election, April :. It is probable that greater activity will be witnessed in register ing so soon as number of candidates have made themselves known.
 As yet very little interest is being taken in the election, and it does not promise to be at all exciting, though some interest will no doubt be develop ed in the next three or four weeks.
 A bunch of new candidates which was sprung this morning is composed of Judge Crane, W. II. Dohrmann, J. E. Harris and Henry Tomlinson. Mike Sullivan, who has been selected to manage their campaign, says that all are sure winners.
