The regular Democratic nominee
for Alderman In the 31st Ward.
Much opposition from certain quar-,
tiers has been displayed against Ed
ward Carroll as the regular Demo
cratic nominee for Alderman in the
Thirty-first ward. Without any just
cause whatever quite a few Of the
voters In that ward focked around
Christian P. Griten as their standard
bearer, whom they claimed represent
ed everything that was pure, but
which proved to be false, for no
longer than last week his candidacy
was dashed to pieces owing to the
fact that many fraudulent names had
been added to his petition, which was
rejected by the election commission
ers, and Mr.. Griten Is now out of the
running and may be prosecuted for
his conduct
These events have all tended to add
to the strength and popularity of Ed
ward Carroll. who is the only candi-
date in the Thirty-first ward indorSed
by the Municipal Ownership league,
and he is waging a lively campaign.
and new recruits are coming into his
camp every hour Of the day.

THE FAITHFUL WIFE

Oftimes | have seen tall ship
glide by against the tide, as if drawn
by some invisible tow line with
hundred strong arms pulling it. Her
sails hung untitled, her streamers
were dropping, she had neither side
wheel nor stern wheel; still she moved
on stately, in serene triumph, as If
with her own life. But | knew that
on the other side of the ship, hidden
beneath the great hulk that swan so
majestically there was little, toiling
steam tug, with heart of fire and
arms of iron, that was hugging it
close and dragging it bravely on; and
knew that if the little steam tug
untwined her arms and left the tall
ship, it would wallow and roll about
and it would drift hither and thither,
and go off with refluent tide, no man
knows where And so / have known
more than one genius, high-decked,
full-freighted, wide-sailed, gay-pen-
onned, that, but for the bare, toiling
arms, and brave, warm beating heart
of the faithful little wife that nestled
close to him SO that no wind Or wave
could part them would soon have gone
down stream and been heard of no
more.-Oliver Wendell Holmes.

sion Merchants, South Omaha, Neb.
Our cattle market was hard hit at
the beginning of this week again, and
10 to Is cents was taken 0 from
prices all around. Since then the
market has held about steady. The
receipts were very liberal Monday for
this time of year, there being close
to 400 cars of cattle here, many more
than expected. There was fair pro-
portion of receipts that could be
classed as good range beef and went
to the killers. We do not expect to
see any higher prices for the near flu
ture, although the fancy dry lot
beeves will sell at considerable ad-
vance over the fair to medium kinds.

THE oLD-FAsHIoNED PICNIC

1t is of the essence of a regular old
fashioned picnic that the variegated
feast should be spread on the turf,
and that all hands should taboo chairs
and all other conveniences of civiliza-
ton. Disguise it as we may, the eli
max of picnic enjoyment is in the
feed and when the raid on the
lunch baskets is over interest in the
picnic begins to ooze away and the
day is done. 1t is said that the roll
licking primitive games which once
made the picnic red-letter occasion
for youths and the old boys and girls
are disappearing, and that the home
made pies and cakes are being dis
placed by the mysterious creations of
the professional caterer This is not
picnicking. 1t is merely dining in the
woods
In searching into the antiquity of
the picnic it is discovered that it first
came into fashion in England in 1902.
