''I'll do anything for the party, of course"
said s. B. Williams, temperance nominee
for treasurer, ''but am not clear that it's
fort best for me to be the candidate. I've
run for everything but governor and am on
the ticket always, which may not be good
policy, you know. Well, well, I'll do any
thing for prohibition, as I'm fully committed
TO it, and if l see my way clear in this case

''You know how they do in Jerusalem
about keeping the streets clean,'' said city
official. every man cleans before his own

the wages of every employe, without saying
word to him, to 20 to the hospital fund, and
yet, nine times out of ten, the men get no
benefits, and only injured passengers are
admitted to the hospital. There are 10000
employees on these line, and 80 cents
month makes $4,000 year. Think of

most of the time it's too far to take an in jured
railroad man. On, it's an Internal outrage,

The prohibition caucus in the Eighth ward
on Tuesday night was productive Of regu
ar monkey and parrot time. A lot of Re-
oublicans, not strictly Prohbitionists, got
into the caucus and created some bad feeling.
One of them wanted to know if it would not

throw away their votes on men who stood no
possible chance Of election. This stirred up
some Of the rampant teetotalers and they de-

aldermen. but he knew it would do no good.
The caucus wound up by nominating George
