For all forms of nasal catarrh where
there is dryness of the air passages
with what is commonly called ''stuff-

Ely's Cream Balm gives immediate
relief. Its benefit to me has been
priceless.-A. G. Case, M. d., Mill

One OF my children had very bad

We tried Ely'S Cream Balm, and, much

improvement. We continued using
the Balm and in a short time the dis

Two of these attorneys accompanied
him to Chicago few days ago in the
hope of Strengthening out the matter.
Mr.. Yorker had, before his resigna-
tion, been considered by all who knew
him as pretty reliable man, and he
had also during his years residence in
the city made many friends, who will
be sincerely sorry to hear of the i'm
putation that rests upon him. He
has an excellent family.
The various parties of the case are
holding consultation in the city hall
as we go to press.
LATER-Mr. Yorker waived exami-
nation and bail was fixed at 81 900.

A SERIOUS CHARGE.

Rumors of a More Serious Natine d

A. j. Yorker, the late local agent OF
the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
Railway Co., is under arrest, on the
charge of grand larceny in theSeeQpd
degree. The specific charge is that
he unlawfully took S114.3SiQf t&8nDIa-
pany'S funds on Feb. 23rd, but there
are rumors that this is~only'al small
part of the amount that he tool. The
complaint upon which the arrest was
made was signed by S. r. Bryan, the
travelling auditor of the road, who has
been looking up the affairs of the Office
ever since Mr.. Workers. resignation,
April LIST. 1t is reported that the en-
bezzlements are likely to foot up to
81, 400. Mr.. Bryan refuses to make any
statement whatever about the case,
and does not deny or affirm anything.
Joel w. Bowman, inspector of the
American Security Co., of New York,
an association which insures railroad
companies against loss from embez-
zling agents, is also in the city, and if
the prosecution is carried on, his COM
pany will be back of it.
Mr.. Yorker stated to reporter this
afternoon that he is entirely innocent
of the charges made, and that he has
not embeZzled a cent. Hesays that is
all mistake. He says that 81 600 of
the 81, 400 which it has been charged
he embeZzled was not received at the
Office at all. He says that the cashier
had charge Of all such matters at the
office, yet he believes that that gentle
man is perfectly honest. He says that
he has nothing to settle.
1t is needless to say that Mr.. Walk
er, the cashier, has always bourn an
excellent reputation for integrity, and
no suspicion rests upon him.
County Attorney Byron Hughes was
seen, and had little to say. He stated
that the case looks dark, and that it
is thought that the embellishments
will amount to about s., 400. He was
not certain what further action, if
any, would be taken.

Mr.. Young was declared elected.
Mr.. Willard stated that he had not
had time to appoint the standing com
mittees, of which there are sixteen.
He asked the council whether all the
committees should be retained, and
how many should compose each COM
mittee. After some discussion it was
voted to retain all of the committees,
and that each should be composed of
three members This will put each
alderman on eight committees.
At the request of the Mayor, Mr..
Young read the standing rules of the

THE NEW COUNCIL.
Mayor Willard Opens the Session with
Some Remarks---W. E. Young
Reelected City Attorney.

The new council held it's first meet
ing yesterday afternoon, commencing
at shortly after four o'clock. Mayor
Willard presided, and Aids. Hubbard,
Fowler, Peterson, Saulpaugh and
Schlingerman were present. Quite a
number of outsiders, who had heard
of the meeting, were also present.
After roll call, Mr.. Willard arose
and said:
Ii you expect to hear a speech from

From time to time, as become more
familiar with the operations of the
municipal government, shall take oc-
casiOn to call attention to things

None was ever more free, independent |
and untrammeled than we are. If we
do what is wrong, it will not be be-

because we err in judgment. 1t is

THE SCHEME WORKED.
Man Puts Up job to Make Every wo-
man in the Theatre Take OF Her Hat.

ht"it III tue rake ou Her HAT.
The theatre was crowded The curtain
had just risen. Jewels flashed, gay plumes
on wondrous headdresses fiuttered in the
heated air, costly fans waved slowly to and
fro. and the fashionable audience turned
its eyes and opera glasses toward the stage
and settled into the hush of expectation
that precedes the opening of the play,
which the experienced stage manager has
waited considerably for all the late corners
to be seated before the bell taps for the
curtain to rise.
In conspicuous location about half way
between the orchestra and the front seats
of the parQuet circle were three ladies who
had come in unattended about five minutes
before. They were noticeable for the wide,
haring, outrageous hats they wore Di-
rectly behind them sat nervous looking
despairing mar, who was making wild
but fruitless efforts to see the stage The
wide hats with their wealth of tropical
bird foliage hid everything he wanted to
see from his view. In vain he wriggled
and squirmed and craned his neck from
side to side. The hats were too large, too
close together and too richly upholstered.
Apparently unconscious that he was at
tracing the attention Of everybody in his
neiShborhood and bringing sae ladies in
front OF him into unpleasant prominence,
he persevered till sounds Of III suppressed
laughter we're heard on all sides of him.
Then ne settled himself back in his chair
with weary sigh, but the next moment
took advantage of a luIl in the performance
on the stage TO lean forward and address
one OF the ladies--the one who sat in the
midtife.
Madam" he said in loud whisper, 81
beg pardon, but it is utterly impossible for
me TO see through your hat, and the Lord
made me too small to see over it. If YOU
will kindly remove it you will make a
wretched man happy for whole evening :"
The forty or fifty persons who were look
ing on saw the lady remove her hat at once.
turn around, and smilingly beg his pardon.
They saw the othettw ladies take off their
hats also, and the example became instant
ly contagious. Ten or do2en other enor-
nous hats came off in the next half min
ute, much to the relief of the sufferers di-
rectly behind them. Then the star of the
evening stepped on the stage and the atten-
ton OF the audience was attracted to the
performance again.
The details of this pleasing little incident
are given in full for the purpose of ex-
planning to those who witnessed ii that the
whole affair was put up job.
The lady whom that man addressed was
his wife, and the other two were his sisters.

LOOSE SYSTEM OF BUYING.


Delegate Bagley is entirely right in his
protest against the loose habit of the
council in auditing bills against the city.
That there has been carelessness and ex-
travagance in making purchases is I'M
questionably fact, and the council is
largely to blame for it through good
natured habit of ordering paid pretty
much every claim that comes in.
The purchasing system is one of the
weak spots in our city government. The
board of public works actually does
the buying and does it carefully
and economically, but it has no power to
reject applications, and must buy what is
called for by the several departments,
whether, in its judgment, the thing de-
manded is really needed or not. 1t may
readily be believed, then. when there is no
check upon any department the expendi-
ture will be large.
Here is subject for immediate action
on the part of the council. 1t should be
made the duty of somebody to receive all
applications for purchases and to deter.
mine whether or not the thing demanded
is really needed. We have no doubt that
in the fire department saving of twenty
five per cent. in the purchase of supplies
could be effected without damage to the
working efficiency of the department.
From any standpoint system which
permits each department to order what it
wants without check is bad system. 1t
is not enough that purchases should be
made honestly. 1t is equally important
that purchases should be made wisely.

of the lunatics shot at the chief magis-
trate of their nation; both shouted forth
some Impressions colored with political
allusion, and both were equally insane.
The Frenchman had just left q madhouse
and Guiteau had been insane for years, but
through the folly and indifference OF
his friends had been suffered to
60 at large. although his private letters
written as far back as 1865, but never pub
lishcd until after his death, or offered in
evidence at his trial, were full of the same
rawlings he uttered from first to last at his
trial, 81 am the Lords man; He told me to
do it." Guiteau went proudly to the
scaffold; his face was full of color: his eye
was bright, and he wore an exultant look
as he sang his crazy doggerel about ''the
Lordy." Medical experts agree today
that Guiteau was unquestionably insane,
if there ever was an insane man. The
kind of lunatic that Guiteau was, is de-
scribed with medical accuracy in the fol-
lowing passage from Bulwer's Strange
Story:
Morbid self-esteem accordingly pervaded the
dreadful Illusion by which the man l now speak
OF was possessed. He was proud to be the pro-
tected agent of the Fallen Angel. And If that
self-esteem were artfully appealed to, he would
exult superbly in the evil he held himself Or
dered 10 perform, as If special prerogative, an
official rank and privilege: then he would DO
led on to boast glesfully of thoughts which the
most cynical OF criminals, in whom intelligence
was not ruined, would shrink from owning.
Then be would reveal himself In all his de-
formity with. as complacent and frank self
glorying as some vain, good man displays in pa
rading his amisble sentiments and his benef-
cent deeds.
That was Guiteau's condition exactly, but
DR.. Spitzke, of New York city, and DIR.
Mcbride, of Milwaukee, alone had the cour-
age to testify, in face of the popular rage,
that Guiteau was clearly insane; they were
derided by the press and we solemnly tried
and hanged lunatic, as morally respon-
sible creature, even as England did Bell
ingham, who shot Minister Perceval in
1872.
