ton I feel ike giving them little advice
also, and not having the address OF any OF
them at hand I desire to publish my
scheme in the columns of your valuable
paper" knowing that the commissioners
will surely see it. Some of our folks adj
wise the erection of great towers, swings,
globes and revolving sidewalks but my
plan would be to create world in min
iatare.
The commissioners should select a level
tract of land on which the engineers
should draw the outlines of the several
continents, each in its true proportions
and relative position and distance from
the others. The intervening aud sur
rounding terra frma might then be
blown out by means of the great tunnel
excavator and the resulting cavity then
filed from the great irrigation ditch or
Lake Michigan, should theunderaow prove
inadequate. All this could be accomp-
lished in good season unless, peradven-
ture, the supply of Memphitis American
US should be exhausted.
The said tract of level land should be
at least forty miles square and the several
continents arranged in circle around
point in the center representing the north
pole.
The immense possibilities of this
scheme are unlimited. The ice of the
polar regions and the tropical heat OF the
equatorial countries could be produced by
artificial means. The natural products
of each country could be reproduced be-
fore the eyes of the wondering sight-seers
afording an object lesson ever to be
remembered. Shops and factories could
be operated and their wares jobbed,
wholesaled, and retailed, through all
parts of our little world. Miniature
steamships could ply the billowy ocean
from port to port, exchanging products
or carrying passengers and the whole
thing re-discovered by modern Column
bus on a small scale.
Hoping that the commissioners may
adopt my plan and make my family
notorious / remain,
Yours Truly.

Dick Dobbins' Dream.
BY JIEGo.
Written for the Kicker"

Written for the Kicker"
Dick Dobbins was another man,
Who lived within Kansas town;
He'd heard about the case of Dan,
And how he got his golden crown;
He dreamed he died, strange TO relate,
And marched straight up to Heavens
gate.
The ponderous knockers rousing din
He rang upon the startled air;
He called the saint to let him in,
And when st. Peter cried: "Who's
there?
Made long his face and told his name,
And said he'd lived upon claim.
But Peter did not like his looks;
TO his recording clerk hesaid:
Get down the Kansas record books"
To Dick this awful truth was read:
ave find that you have lived in town
And always held an Office down.
Il can't deny I often sat
Where envious men were wont to be;
But then the Office wasn't fat,
And always came to seek for me-"
"You lier quoth Pete, then took club
And knocked him down to Beelzebub.

The KICKER has had longer life and
greater success than its founders antici-
psted. We have quite numerous body
of contributors who are able to comment
on anything from a Greek classic to a
japanese lyric; from ghost dance to the
tactics of Caprivi. We are able to
Schonualoff the latest novel of Tolstoi or
discuss the situation in Guiana in Portu-
guese, and now we want one more CORE
spondent-one that can talk Volapuk and
We will rest content.

workingmen and tho Fairh.ven Bonds.


FArRHAvES. April 25.-[Special. 1.-The
laboring men of the city held another large
mass-meeting Thursday evening and de-
clared by resolution their readiness to vote
for the proposed bonds for $4,000 for
municipal purposes if the council at its
next meeting passes an ordinance emhody-
ing the resolutions passed at Wednesdays
meeting in compliance with the demands
of the men. The men are satisfied with
the action taken thus far by the council
with single exception. The second coun-
Gil resolution declares that contractors
"shall not dictate the boarding place Of
parties on the work" The words "shall
not keep clearinghouse" were stricken
out of the resolutions submitted and the
men demand that these words be rein
serted and that all the resolutions be then
embodied in an ordinance and that the
same be signed by the mayor and clerk
before the day of election or the men twill
use all honorable means to defeat the
bonds" The abuses complained of by the
men h ave been such as to give them good
cause for protest, but they are all evils for
which the members of the present council
are not responsible, having grown up
under contracts let previous to their cleo
ton. The present administration has
shown a disposition to treat the working
men with the utmost fairness, and if it
were not for the Vaccinations of few
agitators no difficulty would be exper-
fenced now. Much depends upon the
action of the council at its next meeting,
to be held Wednesday.

The Great Northern ut Little Falls.
The Spokane Chronicle says: w. H. Mar
shall, the local commercial agent of the
Great Northern, returned last night from
a business trip through Northern Idaho.
Mr.. Marshall spent few days at Little
Falls, on the Pend d'Oreille river. Every
thing there, he says, is work and hustle.
A temporary camp is being erected for the
immense number of Great Northern labor
ers who will make their headquarters at
that point. There is now surveying
party camped at the falls. They are doing
the last locating work. When they have
finished they viii move westward down
the Little Spokane to point west Of this
city. At Little Falls the Great Northern
will build a !, 5O0-foot bridge, one of the
largest and finest along the entire line of
the road. The elevations have already
been taken and the directors of the road
will soon order the bridge built. 1.-The
Great Northern will be running trains into
Spokane within twelve months" said Mr..
Marshall. II will not say whether or no
the city will be entered by branch or by
the main line. but l arm sure that the road
is coming to Spokane. Further am not
able to particularize at present" Percy
Holbrook, who is in charge of the Great
Northern surveying party at the mouth of
the Little Spokane river, was in the city
last night. He left for the camp this morn
