What new developments there may be Saturday next cannot, of course, be foreseen. The case has aroused considerable feeling, but those who talk about it would do well to adhere strictly to what they know are the facts in the case, and put themselves, in thought, in the situa tion of each actor before passing judg ment BesnMieaa Coaveattes. The republicans of the several wards met Friday evening in caucus, selecting delegates as follows: First ward, Mason Beall, T. F. Wilson, J. A. Ernst, R G. Cross, M. K. Turner, H. P. Coolidge, C. E.

The delegates above-named met at the Firemen's hall Saturday evening, and were called to order by J. E. Hoffman of the central committee. C J. Garlow was selected as tempo rary chairman, and C. E. Early aa tem porary secretary, the temporary organi- Ization being afterwards made permanent The rules were suspended and James H. Galley nominated by acclamation for mayor; Frank Wurdeman for treasurer; H. P. Coolidge for clerk When it came to the nomination of city engineer, Gus Becher moved that Fred. Gottschalk be nominated, but there was no second. J. G. Pollock re marked that he did not favor the nomi nation of any man not of the party, and moved that the position be left for the central committee to fill. The motion was seconded and carried. For member of school board there were three names placed in nomination, all from tha Third ward, which now has none of its residents as a member of the board, viz: J. G. Beeder, Geo. A. Scott and C. J. Garlow. Mr. Garlow remarked that this office was non-partisan, and that it was his understanding that the opposition would place but one candidate on their ticket A motion was then made that tha nomination proceed by ballot that the one receiving the highest vote be declar ed the nominee, and that the central committee be empowered to name a second, if the opposition placed two can didates for school board on their ticket The motion was carried. The ballot resulted, in: Beeder 14, Scott 10, Garlow 7, and tha chair an nounced Baeder as the nominee. "- On motion tha central committee were instructed to name tha candidate receiv ing tiie second highest aumber of votes, in ease the opposition nominated two casdidates.

Oar Tiasillsna Jacob A. Ernst, the republican nom inee for coaarilmsa of the First ward, will make oaa of tha hast represeata tivee of their teterests they have ever had u tha councils of tha oity. Mr. Ernst ia oaa of our very beat busi ness men; knows tha needs of the city thoroughly; has good, common eeass views of matters; will look to tha ia terastsof tha entire community, while not aegiectiBg or sligatiHg those of the First ward; ha is a man who considers wall tha cirennmtaaces ef n skuatum, and acts only after due deliberation. Our city affairs are very important to us. and Mr. Ernst will be a safe councilman. John E. Hoffman, the candidate for the Second ward, is one of the staunch republicans of the Second, and deserves well at the hands of the citizens of that ward and of the city. John keeps a pretty close mouth, but he does a wonderful amount of think ing, and he thinks along straight lines. He is a level-headed man, and his record as a former councilman of the city showed him to be a man of admirable judgment in city matters. He is a man who looks beyond his own, private interests; allows his thoughts to go towards bis neighbors' welfare along with his own, and honestly strives to do what is right for all others as well as for himself. John is all right Clinton C Gray, candidate for the Third ward, is one of the prominent young republicans of that ward. He is a business man of rarely good qualities, and will make a superior councilman. He gives matters in his charge the closest attention and is careful in all things. He has the scientific habit of thought the gathering of all the facts; generalizing from them to first princi ples. Tha true interests of the Third ward (which of course are in unison with those of the city) will find in Mr. Gray a strong advocate, a practical promoter. In any emergency that may arise, you. will find him cool, deliberate, sensible, safe, and this is the sort of man yon ought to elect as a councilman. Ia Xeawriam. Resolutions of the Woodmen of the World, Columbian Camp, No. 35. Coxumbcs, March 11, 1897. WwTBTaW, We learn with deepest sor row of the death of our esteemed sover eign and ex-Escort August Ferdinand Saffran, who departed this life March 9th, 1897, and feeling that by his death Columbian Camp, No. 35, has lost a faithful member, his wife a kind hus band, his children a loving father, there- fore be it Resolved, By Columbian Camp, No. 35, W.O. W., that we extend to the bereaved family and friends our heartfelt sym pathy in this their time of deepest afflic tion, that our charter be draped in mourning for a period of thirty days, these resolutions spread upon a page of our record, a copy sent to the bereaved family and to the Visitor and local city papers for publication. Fraternally, W.A.WAT. E. DeGzixeb, Clerk, C. J. Gabxow, Committee. Whereas, Our esteemed neighbor, A. F. Saffran, has been taken from us, and while we bow in humble submission to the will of the Most High, we none the less mourn for our neighbor who has gone before; a neighbor who was an honored neighbor of our order, a useful citizen, ever ready to assist the needy, his absence will be deeply felt, there fore bait Resolved, By M. W. A, that we extend to the widow and fatherless children our heartfelt sympathy in this their greatest affliction, and be it further Resolved, That these resolutions ap pear in fuli upon our records, and that an engrossed copy hereof be sent to the family of our deceased neighbor, and that a page in our records be inscribed to his memory. E. H. Chaxbxbs, J. G. Bichkb, O. C. Shanxox, Committee. Oar Next Mayer. James H. Galley is thoroughly well equipped for the office of mayor. Hav ing been a member of the city council a number of years, he understands all the minutiae of tha city's affairs, having made them a study, with the same can that he does of his own individual affairs. He is eminently practical in all meas ures originated or advocated by him, and works for what he regards the city's best interests without reference to public clamor or mercenary considerations of any sort Tha situation impels Thx Jocbsak to say that Mr. Galley is a man who will do his duty aa ha sees it fully, fearlessly, without favor, but he will not ask you to vote for him. He regards that as a mat ter resting altogether with you, and it becomes all those who wish to see men of Mr. Galley's kind elected to office, to vote for him themselves and do what they can besides in convincing their fellow-citizens.

MNMIlBHsmusmmslBm The following from the Blair Pilot gives such a picture of a country far to the north of us, as we seldom see so clearly portrayed: uSupt Fowler recent ly received a letter from his sister, who is now visiting in Scotland, nearly a thousand miles further north than Blair but in the mists of the Gulf stream, in which she states under date of February 25: 'I wish you could peep into thai gardens here just now and seethe spring flowers. Aunt has a border of yellow crocuses that looks like a band of gold, then purple, lilac and white ones. And the snowdrops are lovely, great clusters of pure white. The yellow narcissus will soon be in full bloom. The gardener was here on Monday and Tuesday and plant ed peas, onions and cabbage plants; think of it in February. The grass is green all whiter; some kind of shrubs bloom all through the cold weather.'" Madison Chronicle: The attention of the district court was occupied Tuesday and yesterday with a "steer case" that bids fair to become almost as celebrated as the well known Jones county, Iowa, calf case. A steer, said to belong to one of the Buettner's, was taken up by one of the Tease's and kept several months. When the Buettner's discovered the animal they replevined it and the Teeke's now bring suit to recover for the value of the animal. The case has gone through the county court and. is now taking a whirl in the district court Both sides are well heeled and stubborn enough to carry the matter up to the court of last resort. It is likely to prove fat picking for the lawyers. Ho wells items in Schuyler Herald: On Monday Mrs. Will Pout met with a frightful accident While attending to her duties about the house she took a lighted lamp into a closet in search of some article she wanted. It appears that a can of gasoline was kept there and enough gas had escaped to charge the air in the closet and when Mrs. Pont entered with the lighted lamp there was a flash of flame and an explosion of gun powder, that was also kept there. The poor woman's dress was set on fire and her face, neck and the back of her hands badly burned. Neighbors hearing the explosion and seeing the smoke rushed in and put out the flames. Mrs. Pont is very badly burnt about the face and at first it was feared that she might lose her eye sight, but it is now believed that her sight will be saved. Dr. Buzick was called and did everything possible to make the poor woman comfortable. Her many friends hope for her speedy recov ery from the effects of the dreadful accident Real Estate Traftr.

It has the largest record of any case in the district except the Barrett Scott case, either civil or criminal, and has been watched with keen interest by the public in general. The steer is now worth, if the costs of the trial are considered, about $1,000. The last trial occupied three days, and the verdict was for Buettner.

From the Schuyler Herald we learn that two piers of the Platte river bridge were washed out entirely, and several others damaged; some of the timber was saved, but it will take a considerable sum of moaey to repair the damage doae; the extensive farm lands of Reisch Bros. 3c Col, near Richland will be mostly for rent this year, on the shares; John Her man Henke, one of Cclfax county's old snd respected citizens, died at his homo in Wilson precinct March 13, his age was 72 years; Mrs. Polak, living near tha Praha poet-office in Midland precinct committed suicide by hanging from a rafter in the barn. She was 87 years old and had not been considered in her right mind for some time. As we have before remarked, tha butter and egg account during 'the da- pressed times we have been under, has helped to open eyes on facts that have been known to a good number of ua for yeara, The David City Newa says: "In eoaveteetaea withnaaa of our readers, a farmer, Tuesday, he told us that his iacome from egga and butter is about $5 per week. And yet some farmers pay no attention whatever to 'such small things,' still that would be $260 per year. Not very small either, is it?
