LITTLE CHANGE IN VIENNA
One Would Hardly Know There 10
War, Says Postcard Received
From There.

A post card from Vienna describing
present conditions in that city, re-
ceived by a Buffalo man, brings sur
prising news. The correspondent states
that conditions in the Austrian capital
are nearly normal and one would not
know that Austria was at war except
for the fact that there are nearly 500
cannon captured from the enemy dec
Grating the public places.
All mail is carefully inspected, for
every piece is stamped with an official
seal marked, ueberprueft, which sig.
mites approved. That probably &C
counts for the great delay which all
Austrian mail suffers. In ordinary
times mail reaches Buffalo from Wen
ma in ten to twelve days.
Life in Vienna is perfectly normal,
there is no suffering and all the the
aters are playing. Everyone goes
quietly to his work for everyone knows
that they are on the right side. One
would scarcely know here in Vienna
that we were having a war If 1t were
not for nearly 500 foreign cannon
standing in the plates for exhibition"
says the card.

The colonel Of the 12sth had not
looked for immediate resistance. He
had told Fracasse's men to occupy the

mon impulse Of military training, no
less than in answer to the whistles

dropped to earth at the base Of a

of his rife sight and the liver patch
on his cheek was a deeper hue as he
sought to avenge Eugene's death.

TOM LEANAY RUN
AGAINST KELLY
Two Tickets Being Consider
ed to Oppose Ring"
Also Aldermen.

Two anti ring tickets for the city
election are being discussed on the
streets and the ring ticket for the
spring election is also receiving its
share of the discussion.
One of the anti ring" tickets which
have been mentioned is headed by Tom
Lea for mayor and ". W. Evans and
J. P. O'COnnOr for Councilmen. The
other ticket mentioned on the streets
Thursday included DR.. B. NJ. WOrsham
for mayor. and S. J. Prudential V. B.
Andreas. J. P O'COnnOr and J. P. jolly.
Both tickets have strong backing with
in the County and City democratic
club, it is said, and are considered by
the opposition to the city administra-
ton as having elements of considerable
strength.
Tom Lea has been identified with the
"anti ring movement since it was first
started several years ago, and was
elected county chairman on the anti
ring" ticket against the opposition Of
the entire ring" organization He has
said repeatedly that he would not take
the nomination if it was offered to him,
because of business reasons, but his
friends are said to be urging his selec-
ton because of his popularity and his
work against the ring"
DR.. WOrsham Also MentiOned-
DR.. Worsham has been identified with
state politics for many years, although
he has taken no active part in local po-
lLlCdl affairs. he Is Ln6 LQeQACa4 Ill
