the Minister said: 81 would order an in

Chicago's Highwayman Terrorized People
Under the Terms of a Wager.
CHICAGO, ILL, Nov. 26.-It is now said that
the Industrious highwayman on dark bay
horse who has been ravaging Lake View
and holding up" people is nothing more
nor lie IS than a blooded youth of Eyanstown
who has been paying an election bet. This
youth is a member of the swell club of the
town and several days before election he
made q bet in the clubhouse with q friend to
this effect: 'If Harrison is not elected I'll
put on a mask, steal a horse and hold up
every man I meet in Lake View for four
days"
"Doney' the other young man shouted, and
the ridiculous wager caused no end of hub
bub among those present. Arrangements
were soon completed. and all agreed to keep
the bet a secret. The young man borrowed
horse in Evanston from the barn
of A. Schwall Monday night and Sc
cured a black mask and revolver. The
loser OF the bet continued his career until
Wednesday evening, when he concluded he
had enough of holding people up. He
quietly rode to livery stable at No. I3S
North avenue and requested the proprietor
to stable his horse 1Or short time. The
proprietor had read of the exploits OF the
mounted robber yesterday, and as no one
had called for the horse, he notified the
police.
Mr.. Schwall identified the animal this
morning as the one taken from his barn in
Evanston. Inspector Schaak learned of the
election bet, ana Immediately sent men to
Evanston to try and discover the young
men. All of them are now thoroughly
scared over the outcome OF the ma tier, and
are doing everything possible to shield the
Youthful robber. 1t is quite likely the police
will have a hard time finding him.
With the exception OF being shot at by
Officer Fred Buckley, who chased him some
distance "A WluOn
highway man told his friends that his trip
was highly successful and amusing.

FAULTS IN THE CIVIL SERVICE
General Rosecrans Points Out the Defects
of the Examination System.

of the Examination System.
WAsHINeroNs Nov. 26.-General Rosecrans,
Register of the Treasury, in his annual re-
port to the Secretary Of the Treasury, makes
the following caustic remarks in regard to
the operations of the Civil Service law:
Among the betterments of the service
undertaken during the year, the most i'm
portant are those initiated by the Presi-
dents order of December 4, 1891. They have
been aiming to put each clerks efficiency
record beyond the reach OF momentary i'm
pressions lapses of memory, caprices and
transient feelings to which the, minds
OF chiefs may be liable in making up
standings. To embrace the chief elements
OF the clerical efficiency record, some
delibcration was required, but within two
or three months the neads of divisions found
dificu!ties in their markings, in their being
compelled to give attention to these facts
and mental process which are necessary
elements of any .judgment concerning a
clerk's official merit. This schooling OF the
minds of division or acting chiefs is going
on successfully in this bureau, and will soon
make clerks monthly record of efficiency
portrait of his official work drawn by him
SELF important defects to be remedied are:
"First-Division or acting chiefs should be
required to record each clerks performance
ut the close OF each day and allow the clerks
to see the daily record, to avoid complaints,
correct records and excite emulation.
"Second-Provisfon should be made for an
adequate expression by the head OF the
bureau OF MS responsibility as legal cI1eI-
This becomes all the more important since
the competitive system, as now practiced,
absolutely excludes heads of bureaus from
participation in making appointments and
promotions in their own bureaus. Their
vital defect causes chem TO regard these
great betterments or the clerical service
contemplated IN the department circulars
as evils to be borne.
"Third-Competitfve examinations for
promotion, as conducted in this bureau,
have given very unsatisfactory result~.
These results commend the system to
neither superiors nor the clerical force in
this bureau.
"Fourth-The public service does not, as
prime qualities, demand that employees
should be qnick-witted. of all-around intelli-
gence, able to give pedagogic instruction on
the department and general matters. 1t re-
quires efficient clerical service. Therefore,
the monthly record of efficiency is greatly
superior to the haphazard results Of the
competitive examinations, which command
no respect of chiefs or subordinates in this
Office.
Proper provision for the exercise of the
best Judgment of the responsible head of
the bureau in the matter of promotions
should be made. Neither the interests Of the
public service nor OF true economy are sub
served by injustice, but gross injustice re-
suits to 90 clerks Of the copyist grade in this
bureau from the requirement. that all pro-
motions shall be by successive grades in
each bureau"

Stauffer, Neeb, Einstein and Armstrong the

President of Common Council of the num-
ber of resident taxables in the ward.
The mandamus was granted on the petit
tion of B. A. Overlook and others, who
represented that the apportionment which
gave the ward only one Common Council
man was based on an incorrect assessment
and that the number of taxables entitled
the ward to two Common Councilmen. The
discrepancy is explained with the state
ment that w. G. Rea, the former Assessor,
died in Office and his books when turned

complete. Gleich, the present Assessor, is

PREDICTS A SEVERE. WINTER
Veterinarian Benning Proves 1t by an Old

Veterinarian Benning Proves 1t by an Old
fashioned Sign.
'This will be the severest winter we have
had for many years, remarked Veterinarian
Beuning, of the Public Safety Department
yesterday, land there is the best evidence
of it." he continued, pointing to the brown
horse which Chief Brown drives in his
buggy.
"Nature always provides dumb brutes
against the cold of their natural climate.
When we are about to have severe winter
the hairy coat on horses and other live stock
begins to grow with amazing rapidity dur
ing the fall months. Itnot only grows long
but thick. so that by the beginning of win
ter if you were to pour water on horses
back it will run off without pene-
trating the coat In all my experience I
have never seen such heavy coating as the
horses have this year. All the horses in
the fire and police departments are in my
charge and I have noted the same peculiar
ity on everv one Of them. Last year the
growth of the hair was very little heavier
than it had been during the summer. So I
have noted in previous years 1t is not
new idea, however 1t was known centuries
ago and as far as l can see has always been
a reliable indication.

THE RAIN DESCENDED,
But the Floods Refused to Come at
Gen. Dryenfurth's Command.
THE WIND DEAD. AGAINST HIM,
Which Convinces the Texans There is Some
thing in the Theory.
A REST TAKEN IN THE EXPERIMENTS

SAN ANTONIO, TEX, Nov. 26.-The ex-
periments at rain-making which were begun
here yesterday afternoon by R. G. Dryen-
furth and party, were kept up until 8 o'clock
this morning with results, which, not so sue
cessful as they might have been, were suf-
icient to demonstrate that the theory OF pro-
ducIng rain by means of concussion is a cor
rect one.
When the work of bombarding began at 5
o'clock last evening, a few clouds hung
overhead and in the southeastern and west
ern portion there were banks of thnnder-
heads piled up. By9 o'clock the heavens
were cleared, and moon and stars shone
brightly. Eight hydrogen-oxygen balloons
were sent up during the night at intervals
of ABOUT every As minutes. These balloons
rose to height of from 1000 to 1000 feet,
where they exploded with terrific force, the
concussion being felt for several miles
around.
The banks of clouds in the southeast hor-
lion began to move upward by IL o'clock
and being propelled by a strong wind from
that quarter, the heavens were soon over
cast. 1t was IL o'clock when particularly
ominous cloud came up and was soon direct
~ OtCIucdu ohc VI LuC CbHCLIdl nOuetClS
was let go with fuse timed at two minutes
The balloon contained 1000 cubic feet of
hydrogen-oxvgen and arose almost perpen-
dicularly TO height of 5000 feet, when it
exploded in the very center of the cloud.
A slight sprinkling rain had begun to
fall few minutes before, but the balloons
explosion was followed by a drenching
downpour, which, however, lasted but q
few minutes, when slow drizzle set in and
was kept up until 4 o'clock this morning.
In addition to the balloons, about 1000
pounds of roselte ware exploded on the
ground and $50 shells in Aidair.
The wind during the time when expert
ments were in progress was blowing gale
from the southeast, and as it has never been
known to rain before here with the wind
from that quarter, the old inhabitants give
General Dryenfurth and party credit for the
slight fall last night
There were no experiments to-day, it
having been decided to discontinue opera
tions until next Tuesday, when arrange
ments will be completed for a more extern
sive and thorough test
