Alderman Elected.

Special to Times-Republfcan.
Dubuque Aug. 20.-After vain at
tempts to elect an alderman from the
second ward TO succeed the late p. III.
Mclaughlin, the city council met again
10 ballot. The deadlock was still fast
and the matter was postponed until the
special meeting of the council which
will be held lext Thursday.
The councilnen have been voting at
different times during the past two
months, but or account of the partisan
spirit that prevails there is nothing TO
indicate that break Will happen at
present. The democrats have named
Thomas Hines and the republicans
have Iaced the name OF George Salot.
former county chairman of the republi-
can committee, before the council. Both
are highly respectable men. The DEM
ocrats will not vote tie because the
matter would be left to Mayor Berg, a
republican. The result could then be
easily foreseen.
according to the democrats 1t is a
case of ssaadfastness. The two factions
are growing bitter in their fight and it
is said that NO alderman will be named
because of the unwillingness Of either
side to give All inch.

proof Of the realism of their art. This
story, which is reported from a Chicago
theater, is like the story Of the artist

Hamlet" was the play. In the gal

with GREATNESS interest. The last act
was drawing to close. The duel al
most dragged the boys from their
chairs.
Before their eyes the queen was poi
soned, Laertes killed, the king killed,
Hamlet killed. On the final tragedy
the curtain started down. The audience
was spellbound.
In the gallery sounded a clatter ana
crash as one Of the boys bolted for the
door. O.

The Germans. in most instances, Al
together discard bread crumbs for their
sausages, and when they do use them
moisten them with milk or water, but
the Italians refuse to put any bread
into their sausages, and they claim
that their famous "Bolognese morta-
della" Is at once a more nourishing
and more economical sausage than
the very best German wurst, mas
much as the ''mOrtadella" must be
boiled three times before it Is properly
cooked, and the water in which it has
been boiled constitutes strong cleai
soup. The Romans make likewise a
highly ambitious sausage, in which no
kind Of bread is allowed to enter. They
call it "zampino," which is the foot
and leg of young pork, the best Of
which is obtained from Modena.
A leg freshly sailed Is chosen and
carefully skinned, the trotter being
preserved: then the meat is finely
minced and after being seasoned is re.
placed in the ''zampino." which is tied
with string and simmered in an oval
pan for two hours. Wholly innocent Of
bread crumbs are also the renowned
"cervelas" Of Strassburg.
