ton were present at the meeting in the
chamber of commerce last evening, Presi-
dent J. S. Prince in the chair In accord
ance with the provisions of Bylaw No. 16,
adopted at the last meeting, 315 citizens

entire number on the roll 1915. Secretary
Mason reported that he had sent out 900
copies of the resolution lately presented,
that the mayor and city council be requested
to make reduction of Is per cent. in the
city expenses for the coming year. The
blanks to be filled favorably or otherwise to

and all would probably be in by Saturday
night. The secretary also presented new
bylaw, imposing penalty of so cents on
all members who refused to return the votes
sent out on this and other questions. The
bylaw was tabled, and after some rambling
talk on matters Of minor interest adjourn
ment was taken until the first Monday in

MOST BASE INGRATITUDE.
DIR. Roy Swindled by a Wicked
Partner. = /

This time it was women, wlne gambling
and ingratitude. The story is short one
and full of interest. A few months ago DR..
Roy took into his family an old friend
named Duncan McNab, and because he was
poor and out of business gave him his
board. Being further anxious to help him
the doctor concluded to set him up in bust
ness. He hired store on Wa
basha street opposite the opera
house and fitted it up in very
neat and attractive style, stocked it as a
first-class drug store, and the establishment
was opened under the firm name Of Mcnab
& Roy Through Dr.. Roy's influence and
professional practice the establishment en-
tered upon good, paying business at once.
The business of the store was entrusted
almost entirely to Mr.. Macnab, the doctor
exercising simply general supervision.
This arrangement just, suited the head Of
the firm, and Mr.. Macnab made the money
received into the establishment fly right and
left in the most liberal manner. To him it
came very easy and he let it go just as easy
as it came.
HOW IT WAS DONE.
According to Dr. Roy's statements, Mr.
Macnab, seeing that money was coming in
abundantly, took to gambling, drink and
women. He gambled till his money was
gone and then gave his check, or the check
of the firm, for such other sums as he
needed, with instructions to the party to
whom the checks were given not to present
them to the bank for payment, but to take
them to the drug store and present them to
himself AS fast as the checks came in he
paid them from the money drawer, and
then tore them up. This new and very
brief way of doing business answered his
purpose and kept the whole affair from his
partner, who was really furnishing all the
money. 1t was carried on till he had paid
out 5000 or S70O, SO far as has been ascer-
tanned, to date. Besides this, short time
ago he deposited little over 5000 in a bank,
and when the firm came to settle few days
ago it found itself in debt to the bank in the
sum of S1.85.
HOW IT WAS FOUND OUT.
The doctor had his eyes opened to the
rascality of his partner last week Thursday,
by having note presented to him for $50.
On inquiry of McNab the latter denied
that there was any such note in existence,
but when informed by the doctor that he
had seen it within ten minutes McNab
owned up and admitted that it was given
for gamblidg debt. He further confessed
to pilfering from the money drawer to pay
checks, and to many other dishonest
abts. Of course this caused an
immediate dissolution of the firm.
After making the confession, McNab sue
ceeded in getting hold of the ledger and
took it with him to Canada. There is no
way to tell at present just what the steal
ings amount to. The books are being ex-
amined and bills that were supposed to have
been paid are continually coming in. So
far as can be judged it is thought that Nc
Nab has used up not less than $1,000. In
addition to this he borrowed all he could
from everyone he knew

on his assuming the chair. 1t is stated by
Mr.. Rice that the address will be short and
of general nature rather than specific,
though adequate attention will be
given to the several features of the
work which will come under the super
vision of the council. He stated that he
was as yet not ready to make any announce
ments as to the appOintees to the several
positions which it was his duty to fill, nor
did he care to give any outline Of
the policy he should pursue on the
issues he would meet He preferred
to wait until the government
was organized and suggestions and actions
were in the line of his immediate duty.
The aldermen who will sit for the last
time in the council to-day are Aid. Dowlan,
Cornish, Robert, Otis, Kelly, Lauderdale,
st. Peter and Topping, and their places will
be taken by Simpson, Petsch, Kerr, San
born, Kahn, Bryant, Minea and Long.
THE OFFICES.
With the first session of the new council
comes the election to fill the several offices
in it's gift, including president of the coun-
Gil, health officer, city jailer and market
master 1t was stated few days since
that the drivers of the patrol wagon were
also to be reelected, but inquiries prove
this to be incorrect. There has been, it APP
pears, considerable quiet canvassing for at
least two of the above positions, and of
course the result is best known to those
most interested. For the position Of presi-
dent of the council Mr.. r. A. Smith. the
present occupant, has no opposition.
The Office of tn. chief of police is OF
course the most important one of the whole
number to be distributed. Chief Clark is
quoted as saying that he is not DESTROYS of
reappointment, but his friends are push
ing his chances, and are confident that no
change will be made. Those who desire a
change in the head of this department have
brought forth as an opposing candidate
James d. Hubbell, for whom as railroad
contractor in Montana, his friends claim a
good record as an organizer of men. His
candidacy will, however, probably be with
drawn to-day.
There are two candidates for the position
of health officer, the present incumbent,
DR.. III. F. Hoyt, and DR.. L. Jones. Patrick
O'Regan is candidate for reelection as
market master, and is opposed by ?. Nc
Manus. For the position of city jailer
Joseph Spiel is looking for reelection, and
although the names of Thomas Bremen
and William Geiss are mentioned as prob
able opponents, it is thought he will be re-
elected without any opposition.

/ STREET SAYINGS.

Mayor-elect Rice has had some trouble
about securing suitable room for his
Office. 1t is supposed, however, that the
question has been practically settled by the
selection of two rooms in the German-Amer
lean bank. corner of Fourth and Robert
streets. This location is somewhat re-
moved from the city buildings, but will be
more convenient to the business men VIII o
have business with the mayor.
Foundations are foundations nowadays.
Messsrs King and Rogers when they COM
nlenced to put in the piling for their new
building on the corner of Seventh and Cedar
streets did not fully comprehend how far it
was to China by the direct route, nor what
kind of job they had tackled. Already
81, 900 have gone into that foundation and
yet it is not finished. There is this thing
about it, it will be foundation when COM
|pleted, and as solid as the everlasting hills

In good locations it may be mentioned that
this block is rented, even now, before the
foundations are completed.
One of the members of the school board
last evening, who voted and worked to re-
elect DIR. Schiffmann, stood on the sidewalk
missing over the defeat CT his candidate,
and on being asked what was the matter,
replied: matter enough; they did us up in
pound packages like rat poison, and sold us
Out.n
The old settlers yesterday afternoon when
they marched down in body created a
good deal of sensation. They really di-
vided public attention with the circus.

The misunderstanding between the.adjut-
tant general and Col. Bend of the First
Regiment has assumed the proportions of
an open conflict, both officers having gone
now too far to draw back witch dignity.
Gov. Hubbard will have pleasant time
when he gets back settling the muss.

At yesterday afternoons session of the
board of public works an informal discus
sion arose over the advisability of general
| Improvements under the present condition
of the times. Mr.. John S. Prince was
present and questioned by the board as to
| his opinion on the matter. The question
directly under consideration was whether OF
| not it was best at the present time to order
| street paving and such other improvements,
compelling the residents and property own
| ers to meet the expense by assessments on
their property. Mr.. Prince held that such
was not advisable, taking the ground that
times were inclined to be hard, and while
there was plenty of money in the city and
banks the money was in the wrong hands.
He believed that street assessments becam e
burden on many people, a result neither
wished for nor necessary, because the city
could do without street pavings for one or
two years.

DowIan Will Contest.

Aid. John Dowlan, BY his attorney, John
W. Willis, has filed with the city clerk the
papers in the contest for his seat in
the council. The grounds of the
contest are that he received majority of
the votes at the recent election, and that the
judges miscounted and returned them; also
that some one folded two Simpson tickets
together, both of which were counted; also
that some who voted for Simpson were
bribed to do so by Timothy Reardon; also
that Harry Monkhouse and others who
voted for Simpson were not residents of the
district; also that large number of the
Simpson voters were not citizens Of the
United States, not having taken out their
first papers.
