We must again ask those who avail them
selves of our clubbing offers to read the terms
given every week in The Journal, and thus
avoid delay and much unnecessary correspon-
dence. The terms explicitly stated and
under our contracts with the publishers cannot
be deviated from.
! Prof E. W. Ness gave an exhibition of
rough riding in post office square last Satur-
day afternoon before an interested crowd.
He also had educated pony which attract
ed much attention. especially from the young
err ones some of whom were permitted to ride
on it after the performance.
Last Sunday afternoon was bright and pleas
ant, with no indication of a storm from any
quarter, but about p. M, there was sudden
change to what might well be called blizzard
The wind came bowling out of the northwest
in fierce gusts accompanied by snow, and
those out of doors at that time found it diff
cult to keep on their feet. The storm was felt
in New York at noon and reached Boston at
420 p. m, but fortunately of short dura-
ton or much damage would have resulted
The storm accompanied by a sudden fall
of temperature of from 10 to 20 degrees.

moved the nomination of E. F. Hanson for
mayor. The nomination was seconded by
Fred W. Brown, Esq, and Hanson was de-
| clared the nominee. He then addressed the
caucus and after characteristic TRADE against
everybody in the city who does not agree with
him or bow to his will proceeded to talk about
himself and what he had done for the city
with other people9 money-an oft-told tale
that nauseated many of his hearers The
! Ward ], 2 and caucuses were then held and
| the nominees. with those nominated in Wards
and last Saturday night. will be found in the
Specimen ballot in another column. There are
some changes in the ward tickets, which will
make it more of a one-man city government
than it has been the past year. The city loses
the services of Mr.. E. F. Littlefald, alderman
| from Ward l, who finds it takes too much
| time from his other duties He has been
very faithful official. Alderman Stephen s. L.
Shute was retired, apparently for having a
mind of his own.
