An ELECTION MAY
BE ORDERED SOON

casloned by Death of Council
man Williams.

1t is thought probable that the City
Democratic Executive Committee will
meet within the next few days and or
der an election for the purpose of
selecting a successor to Councilman
Williams, in the First Ward.
In this connection it is thought
quite probable that it will be diff
cult matter TO induce the best men
to offer for this place, by reason of
the fact that the term is so short and
the new member would not have suf-
ticient Tine to acquaint himself with
the city's affairs before the term of
office expired.
1t is stated that almost anyone who
would make an acceptable official
would necessarily have to make sac
rifce IN accepting the place, but
citizens of the ward have already be-

so that the ward may be creditably

The Soldiers are Coming !

A whole company of soldiers is
coming to Saline in regular fight
ing trim. But don't get scared,
they're our friends. Through the
efforts of Capt. r. B. Caples, of
Glasgow, the march is being made
through this part of the state in
stead of through Indiana as first
planned.
Co. 1, 3rd Battalion of Engineers
have received orders to leave Ft.
Leavenworth about August first,
and march through Jackson, La
fayette, Saline, Howard and Boone
counties to Centralia, Mo-, where
the Company will entrain for
Indianapolis, Ind. The company
will march through Saline about
August 9th, 10th, and 11th, and
Marshall will probably be selected
as one of the camping places, if
good camping ground is offered.
Our people will for the first time
have an opportunity of seeing a
company of regulars armed and
equipped with their wcEon train
on their march.
This company is made up ex-
clusively of West Point graduates
and the pick of them at that, max
ing the company the best quail
fled one in the army for scienti-
fic work.
