Daily LIGHT:
DALLAS, Tex, Oct. 8.
In chronicling the "doings" Of
city council the past summer, one
of the local papers had occasion to
remark, Mayor pro tenn Loeb gained
the everlasting gratitude Of the
city father by vetoing the increase o f
salaries. Memory fails US, but we
think the appropriation beng acted
upon at the time was for educational
advancement. Itnow transpires that
that honorable gentlemen, like many
others. knew how to feather his
own nest" 1t turns out he served
the city in q triple capacity and sub
jects himself to impeachment. The
com'n g alderman, Mr.. Webster,
made movements to examine the
record to see if such and such reports
were really true. The records sub
stantiate the fact that he, the
mayor pro tenn, had been ad-
allowed $50 per month for clerical
hire while he was chairman of com.
mittee on streets and bridges. He
drew this $50 himself. The records
show that the kind hearted man who
had gained the everlasting gratitude
of the people" and ever had the
city's interest at heart, had drawn a
a salary as an alderman, q salary as
Mayor, during Mr.. Connor,s absence,
and as chairman of the allowed named
committee. 1t was also discovered
that Alderman kivhn had likewise
drawn $50 per mont tn as chairman OF
water commissioners. Other inter-
esting developments are likely to
follow.

one time was almost despaired OF.
Gradually che grew better and they
were quietly married and have the
hest wishes of q host Of admiring
friends. There was to have been
marriage performed in Dallas that

splendor had not the sickness Of the

prevented it. The lady of his choice,
Miss Eva Shelley, went to the infirm-

and the marriage vows taken who
made them man and wife.

A l5-year old son of L. o. Martin
