For three months past we have

fight, though as yet no engagement
\ has been had, and really | believe
there is little probability Of an at
tack here, at least for some time to
come. Our outposts and advance
" are having almost daily skirmishes
These, however, are generally more
amusing than important. Gen,
! Hindman, alias Tom Hindman of
| Arkansas notoriety, is in charge of
= our advance forces and occasionally
- has some very amusing encounters
! with the Feds
| ITO one instance | will allude.
| About Christmas, or perhaps a few
days before, Gen. Buell. of the Feds
sent detachment of his command
= across Green river, numbering about
+ 5000. OF these one regiment COM
v posed entirely of Dutch drew them
d selves up in a hollow square in
Il plain view of Hindman's camps,
and Hindman expecting an attack
l. drew his men up in line of battle.
l. Just at this juncture Col. Terry OF
It the Texas Rangers asked permission
d of Gen. Hindman to oust the Dutch
i and, not waiting his assent called to
his boys to follow him. AT this 85
RANGERS, aportion of two companies,
i mounted and dashed off after their
i colonel. Just as they entered the
= little field in which the Dutch were
ia paraded Col. Terry and two of his
: men were killed. The remainder

Here are a couple of items pub
lished in a neighboring exchange
from one of its correspondents:
Miss Myrtle Burkett says she is
old enough to go with the boys.
Clyde Richardson says he had
too much fun Saturday night and
has been on the sick list since.
Just such items as these make a
whole lot of correspondence to the
newspapers ridiculous. They con-
tain no news, and even fail to be
entertaining or show symptoms of
wit. You won't catch the Records
correspondents in any such tricks,
and it is agreed that this paper
has correspondents worth while.

! The democratic campaign con-

plant.

The news came out from Little

elected.

THE FIGHT ON o'coNNELL.

The fight being waged upon County
Treasurer O'Connell from certain in
terested quarters is a very unfair one.
Mr.. O'Connell Is one of the very best
County Treasurers that Cook County
has ever had. His record as public
official Is like his record as a citizen.
II is without blemish. In the matter
of turning over interest on the public
funds no man has ever done better
by the public. Mr.. O'Connell furnishes
the heaviest bond of any public official
in Chicago as County Treasurer and
as County Collector. He has assumed
a heavy responsibility and because
he uses his best judgment In the i'm
portant matter of assigning his EN-.
ployes he Is criticized. The criticisH,
comes from those whose desire Is to
injure Mr.. O'Connell personally and
not to benefit the public.
In this fight on the County Treasur'
er, Mr.. O'Connell has the sympathy
the admiration OF the people who ap
preciate n good public servant and
respect him for the enemies he has
made.

ELLIcoTT's GOOD WORK.

Edward B. Ellicott has made a fine
record as Electrical Engineer OF the
Sanitary district. Under his manage.
ment the electrical power furnished
by the district has been made OF
great service to the public. The latest
benefit conferred Is seen in the fact
that arrangements have been made
to replace the gas lamps in the TWEEN
ty.ifth and Twenty-sixth wards with
electric arc and tungsten lamps with
circuits 10 the lake. About $500
lamps will be erected in this district
Electricity for maintaining the lamps
will be supplied by the Sanitary Dis
trict OF Chicago. The cost Of the work
is estimated at s214,000 and will In
clude the installation OF underground
conduits.

THE TRACTION MIDDLE.

Traction affairs in Chicago are be.
coming badly muddled. The city has
decided 10 go ahead with its subway
plans regardless OF any merger be-
tween the elevated and surface roads.
One Of the big surface lines Is con-
templating reorganization. The Elec.
trical World says that negotiations
between the city OF Chicago and the
local traction interests looking toward
a merger OF all OF the surface and
elevated lines have been called to a
halt by the companies. The City
Council and representative OF the
companies have been endeavoring to
name new commission TO place

ed properties, AS announced recent
