state for Levi P. Morton, should that
gentleman be nominated for governor,
General Harrison had nothing to say.

WHAT COUNCIL WILL DO.
Business That VIII Come Before the City
Fathers Tonight.

Business That VIII Come Before the city
Fathers Tonight.
The regular monthly meeting Of the
city council Will take place tonight. The
meeting was to have been held last
night, but was adjourned on account Of
Labor Day.
The meeting tonight will be impor-
tant The city employees will DO made
hvppy as usual by an appropriation ordi-
nance which will be passed at once with
out reference. The pay roll will show
very little decrease over last month.
The police department will cost the city
81, ,S67 for the past month which Ia up TO
the usual high standard or expense.
The street force will cost the city about
$500 less than for July. The other ex-
penses will bring the city expenses
we'll up toward $4,000 for the month.
The question of repairing the Kansas
council will be called upon to decide
whether an expenditure of 90, 600 70 fix
up the bridge is justified.
The scavenger ordinance will come
up and an effort will be made to secure
the passage of an ordnance giving the
mayor the authority to appoint scaven-
ger to serve until May I, when the old
ordinance authorizes the mayor TO APP
point one or more. This will not be
passed without fight.
The bicycle ordinance will be referred
to the council without action from the
probable that the ordinance will be de-
feated-
A resolution will be introduced By
Councilman stephenson, favoring the
erection of new city scales and chang
ing tho location to more
convenient location. He says that the
scales are badly out Of order and that
people won't use them because Of their
inaccuracy. If the council does not look
with favor upon his resolution, he will
advocate the abolishing Of the city scales
and allowing the private scales to do the
business.
Councilman Ettlinger will present sew
eral designs of badges for the sanitary
officers and dog catcher. The designs
are nearly all some form Of shield with
the title Of the officer engraved upon the
face.
The ordinance to reach the policy shops
will be introduced but it is probable it
will not be passed, but referred to some
committee.
The occupation tax ordinance has been
prepared but it will not be presented to-
night There have been 80 many pro-
tests against it that every one is afraid OF
it and it is doubtful if it will ever be pre-
sented.

Attorney MalOney viii File an Amended
Petition in Quo Warranto.
CHICAGO. Sept. Attorney General
MaIoney has prepared an amended petit
tion in the quo warranto proceedings
commenced by him against the Pullman
Palace Car company. Mr.. maloney has
served notice upon the counsel of the
Pullman company that he will appear be-
fore Judge Gibbons at the criminal court
tomorrow afternoon and ask leave to file
nation against the company which fol-
lows the petition according to the law
governing quo warrantO proceedings.
The main additional charges made in
the amended petition in relation. to the
Pullman company .thOut charter author
ity operating a gas plant and brick works
The court is also told that the Pullman
company realizes a large profit by sell
ing water to the Pullman residents.
The company also it is said, supplies
steam heat to many of the business
houses and apartment houses for pecun-
iary profit. The maintenance of a struck
farm" by the company Is charged and
this the court is told cannot be covered
by a charter to manufacture railroad
cars.
The sale of liquors by the Pullman
company in its cars while in transit is
also deemed by the petition to be in di-
rect violation Of its charter rights. The
ownership of seventeen acres Of unOccu-
pied land south of Lake Calumet owned
by the Pullman company ia attacked.
The petition says this amounts to real
estate speculation.

suit of the order.

Thank Him For.

NEW YORK, Sept. AT the single tax

MESSAGES BY THE sun.
Signals Transmitted From Denver to Pixies
Peak by Sunlight.


Peak by Sunlight.
DENVER, Colo, Sept. 4-The sun yes
terday carried a message from the top
of the Equitable building to the summit
of Pixies Peak, Sc miles away, in an air
line. 1t was a remarkable feat in hello
graphic signalling, but its success was
fully up to expectations
Several days ago Sergeants McGlone,
Mclaughlin and Bissell left Denver for
Pixies Peak to make the experiment
This is the message that flashed from the
top of the snow covered peak.
Pixies PEAK, Sept Capt Classrod,
Denver, Colo: We greet you via Sun
beam. Arrived at 2. IN. yesterday;
snow storm prevented our opening sta
tiOn. MCGLoNE.
Experiments will be continued at GER
tain hours for three days of this week.
at the end of which time the signal men
will start for their attempt to fash a
message from Mount UncOmpaghre to
Mount Ellen-183 miles.
The flashes of the mirrors on Pixies
Peak could 3e distinctly seen by the
naked eye during the transmission Of the
message. The Peak was first called
from the Denver end of the line, and
within five minutes after the operators
began their work, the responsive fash,
telling that Pixies Peak was ready to
talk, was signaled. Capt Glassrod ex-
pressed himself as delighted with the re-
suit Of the trial
An interesting feature Of the work is
that neither of the operating parties had
the slightest idea of the message that
was to be transmitted. Telescopes are
used in focusing the flash, but after the
field operators are located the work is
done by the use of the mirror and screen.

THERE MAY BE A FIGHT.


Agltete hnlghts OF Eyt0Ias-
WASHINGTON, Sept. 4-The supreme
lodge Of the Knights OF PythiaA spent
today in consideration of the new con-
stitution. The German question and
the liquor question have not yet been
taken up by the supreme lodge. IL is
evident that there will be stiff light over
the proposition to forbid the use of any
other language than the English in the
ritual.
The Washington members OF the su-
preme lodge announce that they will
fight the position of the supreme chan
cellor on the German question on
tho ground that when the order
was young a bid was made for the
support OF the German citizens and that it
was owing to this nationality that the
order grew so rapidly. Supreme Repre-
sentative Race of Illinois, has also taken
this position.

TO SAVE HER CHILDREN.
A Woman Drops Them Four Stories to
Keep Them From Burning.

NEW YORK, Sept 4-Ten thousand
frantic people early this morning saw
two children dropped four stories by their
mother, who took this chance to save
them from flames which were leaping
from them on four.sides. The children
were caught and were none the worse
for their quick trip The mother was
rescued just in time by fremen.
The fire was in a tenement building
on Fifty-third street. Mrs. Julia Donohue
and her two children, Julia, four years,
old and H1mbert, 2 years Old-were
asleep in their rooms on the fourth
floor. They were not aroused until the
flames had cut of all escape save by the
window.
In the meantime the thousands who
had gathered in the streets,
made it almost impossible for the
firemen to break through with their ap-
paratus. When Mrs. Donohue reached
the window she saw it would take al
most a miracle for the fremen to raise
their ladders in time to save her chill
dren.
Below a cloth awning was down and
she took the chance of dropping her lit
tie ones upon this. Giving each what
she thought would be her last kiss,
she dropped first Julia and then
Hqmbert. The awning WAS strong
enough to stand the strain, and rs
the children rolled off they were caught
BY those whose hearts had almost stopped
beating when they we're dropped.
just as the flames burst into the room
in which Mrs Donohue was, a ladder
-Fas raised and she was taken to the
ground

been held for the murder of John S.
