THE DRuMMER'S LATEST.
Think Twice Before Picking the stray
Thread from ais Cs,at

Think Twice Before Picking the stray
Thread from ais Caat.
The drummer always brings the latest
trick. Here il Is;
Take a spool OF white basting cotton.
Drop 1t into your inside coat pocket and,
threading a needle with 1t, pass 1t up
through the shoulder of your coat.
Leave the end an inch or so long ON the
outside OF your coat and take of the
needle. Four mon out Of five will try
10 pick that whole thread off your shout
der, and will pull on the spool until IL
actually does seem as though your
clothes are all hastings, and that they
were unraveling not only your clothes,
but yourself.

didn't say word and did not move.
Foot by foot II unrollcd. Half glancing
around ! saw mana total stranger
yanking at that thread His face was
scarlet. He had pulled out about ten
yards and was now hauling in hand over
hand. He didn't dare to stop because
he had decorated my back and the
whole aisle with bast-ng cotton. He
hardly dared to go ahead. for he
didn't know what portion OF my
domestic interior economy he was
triiling with. Rip, Rip! went the
thread Hand over hand he yanked
IL in. The aisle was full of it. For
Heavens sakel will IL never end? said
he above his breath. sat perfectly
still and ran the spool while he pulled.
How wanted to yell. never saw any
thing in my life half so funny. The
whole section OF the house got on to il.
They didn't know whether to laugh at
me or him, and some looked on amazed
at the spectacle. At last the stranger
behind me gave one frantic rip and
ya.nked out about eleven yards on one
bunch. and as the cotton got twisted
around his watch chain, over his eye
glasses. in his very hair. and filled his
lap, | turned around and, producing the
spool from my pocket, said: i am very
much obliged for your interest and very
sorry that misled you. You see that
have about l24 yards left, but presume
that you don't care for any more to-
night | am honestly sorry, but cant
help smiling.
The man was modest sort Of gen
tleman in appearance. His face was red
as fire even 10 his ears. He looked at
me and then at the spool. He changed
color once or twice. and then as tho
crowd caught on a big laugh went up
right in one OF the painful passages in
Ciaudtan. and the gentleman who had
ils,nded TO pull that thread off joined
in the laugh and said 4 will square

The Boston coach stopped there for q
short time, when the horses suddenly
turned into low, covered gateway,
where there was no hcad-room for the
passengers on the roof The conse-
quence was that four of them were SO
completely jammed between the coach
and the root over the gateway as
actually to stop the vehicle. When the
sufferers we're relieved from their un-
happy situation one OF them was quite
dead, and the others were 50 crushl i
that they survived but short time.
After detailing such category of
disasters we may make some amends
by relating one instance of a more
fortunate experience than the last. due
TO the like force OF habit in animals.

and, the coach going over his head, he

was 40 perfectly incapacitated that he
could make no effort TO stop them, and
they continued at full speed along Lin

post-oiiice in that town, where they
stopped without the slightest injury.

Thomas McCabe, a nephew of our old
time tr1en0 James G1cSaOc OF w niue y
Gulch, met with a very serious accident a
week since ON the Missouri valley while
out looking after his stock. His horse fell
with him and in doing SO caught his leg,
breaking the bone between the knee and
ankle. The horse then broke away, leav-
ing the crippled man alone on the prairie
with the thermometer Is or 70 degrees
below zero and no human habitation
nearer than the mouth of Confederate,
four miles away. There was an old cabin
near by where he might find tenn
porary quarters, but fearing no one might
pass the unfrequcnted hut he determined
to set ont mt once for the nearest habita-
ton, as death was the worst that could
befall him and there was little promise of
anything else to take quarters in the
cabin. The sufferinRs Of this journey
were intcnse The pain of he broken
limb was augmented by the intense cold,
and more than once on the tedious jour
ney on his hands and knees did he feel
that hope was vain and that he must per
ish upon the Drairie. His heavy gloves
and the knees Of his thick pants became
worn through, adding to he peril Of his
situation. Finally worn out and exhausted
he lifted up his voice for help, and was
heard by William Geary, who fastened 10

however, based on what the work would
cost in fair weather, when plenty of time
could be taken for it. The City Engineers
estimate OF the costlwas $500.
Mr.. Luhrs said q few citizens had prom
ised to make good the money advanced to
meet the expenses, as the city had none.
The city should pay it, as had been agreed,
but if it refused TO do so, the citizens re-
ferred to would pay it out of their own
pockets; but there might come an emer-
gency when the Trustees would have to ask
such assistance.
Judge Beatty said the Board was not
legally bound to repay this money, but it
was its moral duty to do so. It's refusal
Board could not borrow money, it could
appropriate money to pay for work done.
Mr.. Wolf said that, while he thought a
mistake had been made in doing the work
as it was done. he would vote to repay the
men who advanced the money in good
faith.
The vouchers in The Mayors possession
showed that SLIPS so had been paid out
for the work and there was also bill from
the Huntington-H opkins Company for S222
for shovels.
Mr.. Mclaughlin moved that the Bonded
Fund Commission pay over the money re-
quired to meet the expense.
Mayor Comstock signed the Huntington
Hopkins Company's bill as correct and twas
about to be ordered paid, when it was sug-
gested by Mr.. Mclaughlin that it should be
certified 10 by ex-Mayor Gregory.
The demand was sent to Mr. Gregory and
returned duly certified to by him as correct
and then ordered paid.
The Mayor moved that the Board order
the payment OF D. o. Mills claim, less 500
for which vouchers could not be found,
and $40 so paid in by ex-Mayor Gregory.
1t was so ordered by the votes of the
Mayor and Mr.. Wolf, Mr.. Mclaughlin
holding that only $500 should be allowed.
1t was decided, on motion of Mr.. Wolf.

w. E. Gerber, City Treasurer, stated to
the Board that on Saturday last bank in
this city presented to him coupons amount
ing to $3.50. The first lot were due in
1872 and the last in 1881, and there was
some question as to whether or not those
of 1S72-3-4 were not outlawsd. They
could have been paid if they were pre-
scented when due, as there was $1,700 left
in the Treasury for coupons that had not
been presented. Mr.. Gerber thought it
would not be wise at this time to assume
that the coupons were outlawed. Judge
Holl, his attorney, agreed with him on this
point, but ne did not want to assume the
responsibility of paying them without first
laying the matter before the Board of Trus-
tees. In view of the fact that the city was
about to issue new bonds for street purpose s
he thought it would be poor policy to en-
deaVor TO repudiate old claims because
they were not presented on time.
The Mayor was requested to consult
with attorney Catlin on the matter.
At the afternoon session the Mayor said
he had consulted with Mr.. Catlin on the
subject, and that he advised the payment
of the coupons.
There being no objection offered, the
Board ordered the coupons paid.

LEGISLATIVE AND JUDICIAL.
The Municipal Fathers Undertake
High-Handed Proceeding.


High-Handed Proceeding.
When the demands of the regular and
special policemen for their salaries were
read by the Mayor at yesterdays session of
the City Trustees, Mr.. Mclaughlin said he
was going to vote against paying any of
those men who had beats in town and
failed to pay attention to the gambling that
was going on during the fair. The de-
mands of Matt. Karcher, NJ. D. Eldred and
A. Agner were allowed, as they did duty at
the Park or the Pavilion.
When the claims of Chief of Police Drew
and the rest of the officers were read, Mr..
Mclaughlin said he would vote against
pose an objection against auditing Chief
Drew's demand, as that official had not
done his duty.
The Mayer then sent for the Chief, that
he might explain matters.
Trustee Mclaughlin said he considered
1t his duty to object to all OF the police sal
airy demands. The toughest kind of gam
bling was carried on during the fair, and
very few of the gamblers were hindered by
the officers.
The Mayor said he would vote to pay all
the salaries. He believed that as the men
were appointed, they should receive their
pay.
Trustee Wolf said he thought as Trustee
Mclaughlin did, and believed that gam
bling was carried on more brazenly this
year than for twenty years past.
I'm going to vote against the salaries of
all of the officers, and OF the Police Com
missioners, too !" said Mr.. Mclaughlin.
you're little late, think, remarked
Mr.. Wolf The Mayor has had his salary
allowed already"
After more discussion the matter was
laid over until the afternoon session.
Later in the day the question came up
again, and Mr.. Mclaughlin asked the
Mayor what steps were taken by the police
department to prohibit gambling during
the State Fair.
The Mayor said he had called meeting
of the Police Commissioners, at which he
offered a resolution to have all gambling
stopped and thst it was adopted. Chief
Drew informed the Commission that he
knew OF illegal gaminggoiDg on. He (the
Mayor did not see that there was anything
left for the Police Commissioners to do in
the matter.
Mr.. Mclaughlin said that lift could be
shown that the resolution hsd been carried
out, he would vote to pay the policemen 8
salaries; otherwise he would not. He OBJ
jected to paying the salaries of the Mayor
and Police Judge.
Mr. Wolf said he would stand in with
Mr.. Mclaughlin on that proposition.
Mayor Comstock then instructed Clerk
Mckee TO withhold his (the Hayor's) de-
mand and also that OF the Chief.
The salary of Night Jailer Higgins was
SLOWED, as il was not shown that there was
any gambling inside the Jail.
Without taking any further action the
Board adjourned, leaving the others I'M

C. A. Luhrs appeared before the Board OF
Trustees yesterday in response to notifica-
ton sent by the Board to the citizens who
guaranteed the payment of the money ad-
vanced by D. o. Mills & Co. last winter to
repair the Y-street levee, to be present. He
made statement explanatory of the pro-
ceedings had at that time, and said that the
citizens who guaranteed the money felt
that the work was necessary in order to
avoid possible calamity. Fortunately the
river levee below the city did not give way,
but there was general fear that it would.
H. o. Beatty was also present and gave
his version of the proceedings. He had
made an estimate of the cost, but the result
showed that it was far too low, 1t was,
