In selecting delegates to the judicial convention, two tickets were run, one for DeArmond and the ether for DeArmond and Park- inson. The DeArmond ticket was elected by a good round majority.

This house will cost its builders upwards $3,500. Again P. E.

McFarland, on corner of Pine and North main streets, and has made out of it one of the most desirable residences in the city. Our enterprising citizen, C. B. Lewis, has kept up with the proces- sion and aneat two-story residence which he is just completing on Ohio street is a perfect beauty and uni- versally admired by all passers-by. It is one of the most convenient res- idences in the city, and is called the pride of Mt. Pleasant, the name Charlie has given his beautiful lawn. When completed this house wiil cost its builder in the neighborhood of $2,500. J. W. Miner, recently burned out in the southern part of the city is just putting the finishing touches to his two story residence which will be a most pleasant home. Asis the case with G. C. Wood, on north Fulton street, who has just com- pleted a comfortable little cottage. Next is the two brick buisness houses which John Steele and Dr. Everingham are making arrange- ments to build on the southwest corner of the public square. These buildings will be two stories high and 80 feet deep, and will cost in the neighborhood of $3,500 each. The foundation fer the same has been dug and the rock masons are now busy laying the foundation wall. Mr. Eldridge has the contract for doing the carpenter work and Power Bros. will furnish the brick.

Tuesday evening of last week Mar- shal Morgan arrested a young man about a mile south of town on the railroad track, dressed in female at- tire, and returned with his prisoner } to the city and lodged him in the calabonse. The marshal was put on the track of the would-be woman by John Duff, jeweler of this city, who he had attempted to sella watch, arous- ing Mr. Duff's suspicions by his b J talk and actions. . 2 When arrested the would-be wo-| Mere’sour= on it! man had on a calico dress, sun bon- net and complete outfit of under- wear including a corset and bustle. The prisoner was closely question- ed by the mayor in regard to what sex she belonged, and until forced to divulge evaded the answer. During | this interview some very amusing and laughable things took place, which we will leave for the imagina- ti@m of the reader. But will say that the mayor fully satisfied himself that | his prisoner was a sure enough man. The prisoner gave his name as Lucinda Herman, and said his home was about ten miles west of Blue Mound, Linn county, Kansas. The father, John Herman, was no- tified arrived Sunday morning. He was met by a reporter of the Tims, and questioned in regard to the case. The father corroborated the story We will take pleasure in noticing, by editorial comment, the announce- ments of Judge T.
