Mr. Iddings has made many improvements to the mill since leas ing it, and believes that he is now in position to make as good flour as any mill in the state. Don't fonret that the place to buy bolts is of The Wilcox Dept. Store. West Front street, in front of the Scharmann and Douglas prop erties, is being filled in with dirt. This point in the street has needed filling up for several years. The present city administration believes in putting the streets in good con dition, even thourh it requires a good part of the tax levy to do it. James Belton announces by circular that he will add a line of hardware and stoves to his stock of afternoon with Miss Hattie Single ton.

The republican club will hold court house this to speeches by and others. A male quartette will render a couple of campaign songs. Dele gates to the state convention of republican league clubs at Lincoln will also be selected at this meet ing. That Bryan and Watson ban ner strung across Spruce street is causing mental disturbance. A half dozen silver democrats who stand before the pictures of Bryan and Sewall three times a day and pray for success, demand that Sewell's name must be substituted for Watson or else the banner must come down. But the populists will not listen to such a proposition; it is their banner, and it will stay. If the Bryan and Sewall fellows want a banner, say the pops, they are at liberty to fling one to the breeze. In the language of Bob Arundale, "the democrats have not swallowed the pops by a jug full." The democrats have made overtures to the populists to join in the parade to-morrow evening, but we under stand the latter have not as yet accepted the proposition. In case they do, it will be a little interest ing to know whether the Bryan and Sewall people will head the procession, or the Bryan and Wat son fellows, but as the latter con stitute virtually the tail of the ticket it is supposed they will be relegated to the rear where they properly belong. It is also a source of speculation as to whether the yells and cheers will be for Bryan and Sewall, Bryan and Watson, or only tor Bryan. The Tribune trusts, however, that peace, har mony and good fellowship will pre vail within the silver circles; from now until November 3d is the period for free silve rites to feel happy; after that date they will wear crape. was strung across Spruce street near the intersection of Sixth last evening.

The attendance was about seventy live, a majority of whom were pop ulists and democrats, just the class of voters it is the desire of republi can speakers to address. The Judge delivered one of his char acteristic speeches. The matter of having a system of street lamps seems to have dropped in a hole, at least up to date the city has not "sent in an order. The committee appointed to acertain how many citizens would erect lamps at their own ex pense, are not meeting with any great amount of success, and few ights can be expected from that source.
