WEST SIDE EVENTS.
Ft i it Sergeant Uarry Decker Elected Flrit
Lieutenant of Company F-Fred
Mason Will Resign.
At a meeting of the rank and fl1 of
Company F, Thirteenth reclini-nt. last
evenlnjr. In their armory ut St. David's
hall, on North Muln avenue, Klrst Ser
geant Harry Decker was elected to the
rank of first lieutenant, made vacant by
the resignation of Walter ltriKtrx, sec
retary of the board of health. Second
Lieutenant Fred MiiMun was Air. Deck
er's opponent, and the election nnd pre
liminary work was highly exciting and
very hotly wued by the friends of the
two men. Lieutenant iMuson was en
titled to the position by riKht of regu
lar promotion. He is a model soldier
nd Is well up In military technique, as
was shown by thecapable way in which
he captained Company F In the absence
of Captain E. D. Fellows during the
inspection held before the election.
Mr. Mason's fitness could not over
come Mr. Decker's popularity union
the members, and by a vote of 2S to l(i
the latter was elected. The election
was held from 9.20 to lu.15 o'clock.
Colonel Coursen presided. When the
nominations were called for, E. V.
Thayer named Mr. Decker, seconded by
Kobert Williams. Mr. Masuii was
nominated by Sergeant Oeorge Tlarth,
seconded by V. S. Freeman. Twenty
eight votes were necessary fur a choice
mid Mr. Decker received thin number.
One of the outcomes of the election
will be tho resignation or Second Lieu
tenant Mason. He staled to a Tribune
reporter last evening thnt he would
immediately retire. .Mr. Mason organ
ized the company In July, isyo. lb
worked hard toward its success, and
was a rigid disciplinarian. It was this
very strictness which caused his rejec
tion by the members. Mr. Decker Is a
soldierly looking young man. He hus
been connected with the company for
a long time and has obtained tho re
gard of rank and tile. Mr. Mason's re
tirement will leave another vacancy in
the company.
Before the election a preliminary in
spection of the company was conducted
by Major (1. W. Whittnun, of Hones
dale, and Colonel Coursen of the Thir
teenth retriment. Sergeant Major Al
Davles, of Kynon street, was nlso pres
ent. Second Lieutenant Mason led the

SOUTH SIDE NEWS.
Democrats Did Not Materialise Last
Night-Father Malons's Sermon
at St. John's Church.
The demonstration of Jubilant Dem
ocrats advertised for lust night did
nut eventuate; it was a fizzle In the
most uccepted sense of the term. Nat
ter's hall on Alder street was to be
the starting point for the parade and
brass bunds, lire works galore, car
riages for distinguished citizens, etc.
were expected. The parade was going
to move over the principal streets of the
South Side, and come back again to
Natter's, where speeches and beer
would serve to while away the time.
About :m Peter Allbach nnd seven or
eight followers came down Alder street
with tho Hag which wan raised last
Saturday. Allbach ascended the steps
of Westpl'ahl's store and delivered him
self of a Slieei'h. lie had on an unte
dlluvian silk hat. They went around
to several saloons and wound tip in
Rosen's on Cedar avenue. Thus ended
the great fete which, according to the
Republican litem.), was going to bathe
this part of the city In a blaze of glory.

very practical one and eloquent. This
belli? the season when the church ex
pects of her children fasting and prayer
the speaker exhorted his heurers to
follow out these tcuchlngs and practice
them as the only means of obtaining
salvation. Father JU n lone referred to
the belief, in a Supreme IJelng, exhibit
ed In all the uges of the world. False
gods. Idols, the sun, nnd other objects
Were worshiped by the undent pagans,
hilt this spirit showed that they be
lieved in n being higher than mortal
man. The church now udores Hod, but
the world throws many temptations In
the way of the faithful. The Savior
crucliied on Calvary must be our model
and our ambition must be to follow in
His footsteps,
