Keeper of records and seals, U. S.
Burns, of Milwaukee and Grand
| Prelate, Orring C. Thompson of
| Neenah, were in attendance and
healped to make the convention a
success. Eleven candidates were
given the first degree, which was
exemplifed under the direction OF

twenty two members and Eve candi-

ton.
The candidates for the different
offices in the city are fast coming
out and already there is a man out
; for nearly every Office, and as many
as two or three for some of the posi-
tions. The only man who has thus
far announced himself for mayor is
M. M. Sweet, although few others
have oeen spoken of as possible
candidates and it is thought that
the next week will very likely make
some change. There are three
candidates in the field for treasurer
they being Nels Lee, Fred Terrell
and O A. Lamoreaux. The posi-
ton of assessor is being sought by
James Kinney and Albert Drummer.
! r. A. Herring seems to be the only
man seeking the office of city clerk.
Among the new cand idates that
j have either come out or been spoken
of for aldermen are G. o. Sowder
and W. A. Robinson 10 the second
ward; Olaf NJ. Olson and Dave
Define in the third ward; An
drew Borgren in the fourth; William
Podvin and John Manning in the
seventh, aid Ernest Latham and
Peter Skoug in the eighth. Most
of those holding the position of
supervisor during the past two
years, will be candidates for re-
election and the only new candidates
that have come out are E. Bryan in
the first ward and Lever Lien has
been spoken of as ca ndidate in the
sixth. The election will very likely
be lively on all over the city.
Three little rules we all should keep
To make life happy and bright,
Smile 10 the morning, smile at noon,
Take Rocky Mountain Tea at night
