MERELY
MENTIONED

Pagan Republican clubs are being or
ganized in the different wards of the
city. This is in accordance with the
plans of GeorgeNL. Record and the other
managers of the Mayors campaign. The
new clubs, though composed of Repub-
licans, will be independent of the Repub-
licanl organization. Only men who are
known to be for the Mayor first, last and
all the time will be asked to join. The
first Of these clubs was formed night
or two ago in the Tenth Ward. The
Republican organization will not be con-
suited, and the new clubs will undertake
to manage Republican affairs in their
respective wards. What Col. Dickinson
will have to say about this new plan of
the Faganites can only be magined. His
friends regret he is so far away from
home at this time. They say there will
be something doing when he returns, and
that if the followers of the Mayor have
the idea that they are going to take the
management of the campaign out of the
hands of the organization, the Colonel
will soon bring them to their senses.

truce has been declared between the two

W. Maynard, of O. Il. G ". offices, in
Portland. Goes, Wrong.

After a year of faithful service in
the auditors office of the o. r. & n.
Co., William Maynard is reported to
have launched upon a career of whole
sale forgery, says the Morning Ore
gonian. He occupied a confidential
position in the office of Paymaster G..
]. Kaufman, and is said to have stolen
book of checks and to have written
out number. forging Mr.. Kauffman's
name, and afterward cashing them at
various stores.
Checks so far cashed and brought
to the attention of the police were
passed, one on Ben Selling, the cloth
Ter, for $3.50; one on B. b. Rich, the
cigar dealer, for similar amount,
and one on Buffum & Pendleton,
mems furnishers. for $50.
1t is believed that other checks will
turn up, as the police have been told
that the young man is reckless, and 1t
is believed he will continue to pass as
many as possible Every effort is be-
ing made to apprehend him, and Act

held it until Tuesday, at which time
he left the office, and has not been
seen since by his friends.
