NAYLOR HAS A JOKE.
How They Open Court in Jackson
With an Organ.
MISSOURI SHERIFF'S EYES OPEN.

Fhey Sing "Where Is My Wandering
Boy Tonight and Little Brown
Ja&."
The idea of district court and in Mis-
souri,, too, being opened with a prayer
and praise service is too funny for any
use, but there is strong probability that
one will be shortly.
Sheriff Naylor of Holton will be to
blame for it and this is how it happened.
Naylor is good deal of joker and
cannot resist the temptation to have sport
whenever he can and he is not in the
least particular who is the victim.
One day last week a middle aged gen
tleman with middle aged whiskers, a
SLOUGH hat and no creases in his overalls,
stepped tardily into Sheriff MAYORS Of
fee at Holton, while the sheriff was dec
Grating the stove with plug extract, and
wondering what particular railroads he
would take controlling interest in with
his proceeds of Office for '95.

gentleman in the hickory shirt

his feet on a good strong board in the
door, and turned around. what eau

Mr. Naylor was glad to meet his part
Rer in sorrow and said so in y way that left
room for no doubt. "Come and I'll show
you the court house." he said.
The Jackson county court house is not
particularly beautiful affair nor is il
in splendid repair but the Missouriau
thought it was very nice indeed, or al
least he said SO.
The district court room is in the sec
ond story. It is large room and as ths
Episcopalians have no church of their
own in Holton they hold services once q
month in the court room. Their organ
was there in a corner when the Missouri
sheriff and the Jackson county sheriff
before the Missouriaa discovered it.
"Hello," he said, "what be this here

who put down Pasadena's asphalt pave
ment, and who now has the contract for
putting in the pavement for Riverside,
invited number of city officials and
others to 80 with him to Riverside for
the purpose of inspecting the work he is
doing IN that city. On Friday May or
Cox. Trustees Lukens, Washburn and
Weed. City Attorney Arthur, ex-Trustee
Clark and w. S. Gilmore went over to
Riverside and made thorough inspec-
ton of the work being done there.
Contrary to the plan aodpted here, the
paving is b,ing put down without any
base of concrete and with only the nat
ural soil for a foundation. The citizens
believe that this soil. being of an adube
character in part, will be firm enough TO
bear ali traffic. The covering OF asphalt
tum is two inches in thickness and this
is laid at an expense of ~ cents square
foot, as against "a and 20 cents for the
pavement in this city.
One point about the work in Riverside
that the party thought it wise for Pasa-
dena to initiate is the use Of granite
blocks in the cutters instead of using
the asphaltum from curb to curb. Ex-
perience with asphaltum cutters here in
Pasadena has certainly demonstrated that

The Yves. Chicago Street Railway COM
pany has adopted novel ystsem of cleo
trio lighting. The first installation of
the new circuit is now nearly completed
and is located in the Van Buren, street
tunnel. To all outward appearances it
resembles the ordinary overhead trolley
construction for street railroads, but John
b. Parsons. vice president and general
manager of the company, says it is not to
be used for lighting. incidentally he
admitted that the wires might bs used
to furnish current to trolley cars, bat
this was a secondary and remote use
and would not interfere with the main
purpose CT lighting the tunnel.
This remarkable construction work in
the Van Buren, street tunnel has been in
progress at night for some weeks. Blocks
of hardwood Is inches long by foot
wide and an inch thick, were first bolted
TO the roof of the tunnel directly above
each OF the tracks at intervals of ten feet.
Then specially built trolley hangers
were screwed to the wooden blocks.
These hangers had to be made for the
work, as the blocks are ON considera BILE
slant, owing TO the curvature of the roof.
The nlocks are all in place and the greater
number of the hangers over the north
track are already screwed TO then. The
construction has progressed lar enough TO
show that 1t is the ordinary trolley sys-

BREVITIES.
A few days ago two new corners opened
a bakery in town, under the firm name Of
Bell & Thurman. Alexander Bell was the
member of the firm who put up the
money, it seems, and he has no doubt
gained some experience, according to his
own account, for when he returned from
Los Angeles last evening, after a brief
absence, he found bis partner was miss
ing, Likewise the furniture and fixtures OF
the establishment, which hau somehow
been dispos of for cash at second
hand store. A warrant was issued for
Thurman's arrest, but he has no doubt
put some distance between himself and
the scene of his recent bushes venture.
