THE INJURY A DANGEROUS ONE Bnsalaf?o and Hla Friend. Ohup askn Quarreled Ovor tho Affections of a Woman. Ohupnskii Arrested. lUIN n man finds liliu elf Blabbed in the link just after ho has laid tho foundation stone for a bright future by making arrange ments for his marriage ho must think that is experiencing a frigid strokn of luck. Such mast have been the feelings of Atten Iliunlage lost night as hu sat in 'Sqiiiro Williams' otlice nnd testified against Fetor Chupaskn. Both men ure Hungarians, re siding in tho Fifth ward, and bavo hereto fore been fast friends. Tho story of tho case is tlmt last night Hasalag concluded ho would get married and he invited his friend, Chupuska, to ac company him to tho Greek Catholic church for ttio purpose of making arrangements for tho Bvent. After leaving tho church the two men called upon n friend an West Centre street and while in the house all partook freely of drink. Basalago nnd Chupaskn eventually became involved in a discussion, which resulted in fight and llasalago was stabbtid in tho back. Chief of Police Davis and. Policeman Tempest wer notified and they arrested. Chupaska. Df. Stelu was summoned to at tend i!.valagc. Tho wound was an ugly one. it was about three-quarters of an inch wide and one and a half inch deep. The blade entered between the ninth and tenth ribs, on tho right side. Tho stabbing was done with the large blade of a pecket knife, Dr. Stein is not prepared to say just what tho result of the wound will bo. lie says it is in a dangerous place. The stabbing followed a dispute between the two men as to which had the best place in the alTectionB of the woman who had been selected as tho bride. Chupaska was held for another hearing to night. And It Is Aggravating. As a rule most people arc intensely ex aspcrafixTvrKen", after wading through some exciting story in the newspaper which they have devomcd with breathless interest, to find at the finish it is only a trap to advertise some wonderful soap or medicine. Of course its disappointing, but just consider how cleverly its dono, nnd, by tho way, what u wonderful industry has been developed in this mode of advertising. Some of tho great medicine firms pay their advertising agent as high as ten thousand dollars a year, and a certain manufacturer of soap pays his adver tiser twenty-live thousand.

CONSULTATION WITH GANDIDATES All Agreo to Comblno for tho Siiccosb of tho Party nnd Doci tod to Hold all Prima ries Next Friday Niffht. HE CitbenB' party is down t work at last and has taken steps looking to the placing of a full ticket in the field for the election next month. The Standing Committee of the party met at Oliver's hotel last even ing, All the members were present. Thoy were II. O. Jioyer, chairman; Jauiee Mcl'.lbenny, secretary; George Hares, Adam Mort and Jere. H. Uoxby. After some routine business had been dis posed of tho committeo iuvited into the meeting several candidates for nomination on tho Citizens' tickot who wcro in waiting in another room. This joint meeting was a very harmonious aud businow-liko one, nud all the committeo men and prospcittve cindi dates seemed to understand each other and just what is necessary to be dono to attain success for tho party this spring. Everybody present i-eeratd to be in the best of humor and although some questions led to spiiited discussions all were disposed of good-naturedly, It wnB decided to hold all tho ward primaries of the party on one night and later in the evening the com mittee succeeded in securing a place in each ward to hold the primaries next Friday evening, nt 8 o'clock. The places secured nre statd in tho call published in another column of this paper. It has also been decided that the standing committee men will call to order the pri maries of their respective wards A number of gentlemen who had not been advertised or had not made themselves known ns candidates were at tho committee meeting nud took an active interest in it, Some of theso aro among tho beet of our citizens. A good stait lias been made and if followed up by judicious nominations anil the burial of past differences there is no renhon wliv the Citizens' party should not share well in tho victories this spring. Tho situation in the Fifth ward is such that appeals Btrongly to the sound judgment of tho Citizens' party. With discreet nomi nations und vigorous and harmonious work before the election the party will Lav an excellent chance to elect -its ticket in that ward, Several members of tho Citizens' party have given considerable intention to the situ ation in the Second ward in regard to the School Directorship. It is generally supposed that there are two vacancies for directors in that ward, but such i3 not the case. William T. Williams still holds his seat ou tho School Board. Although he is working at Mt. Car mel, he still claims and holds his residence here, and he has not sent in his resignation, It is thought by many that if Mr. Williams intends to take up a residenco at Mt. Carmel he should tender his resignation at 011C0 and give his party a chance to elect his successor. If the resignation is not sent in and Mr. Williams should resign after the election the School Board will then till the vacancy. And should tho Democrats continue to have 11 majority on the board, thoy could elect the successor and thus securo another member in tho Second ward without giving the voters a voice. ATTENTION !
