Sanitary Force Investigation.

The investigation Of the charges against
members of the sanitary officers force has
been postponed until DIR. jameson can be
present. He arrived home late last night.
The Mayor will consult him and the other
members of the board to-day, and decide
upon the time for an investigation of the
charges. The matter of the appointment of
a city sanitarian will be considered at the
same time. There seems to be a greater de-
sire on the part of a number of the young
physicians for this position than it was at
first supposed there would be, on account of
the comparatively low salary attached. 1t
is looked upon as a good place for a young
man who has made a study of sanitary
science and expects to make the study a life

Filling Up the State Ditch.

People through whose land the State ditch
runs are getting anxious about filing it.
Numerous inquiries have come to the city
engineers office in regard to- it. Part of it
cannot be filed until local sewers are built.
The part between Central avenue and Penn
sylvania street is now ready to be filled, and
part of the property owners have already
filed the portion running through their
property. West of Pennsylvania street it
must remain open until several local sewers
can be built, which will probably be done
in ninety days. East of the first alley east
of Central avenue the ditch must remain
open until the sewer is
built, and this may not be till late in the
summer. No action has yet been taken on
this sewer, but the papers are not ready
for the action of the Board of Public Works.

revenues. Long before Harrison vacated
tho White House every tinaucior in
America perceived that trouble was i'm
pending and thnt the government must
issue bonds of default i'll it's payments.
Harrison's secretary Of the treasury had
tho bonds ready and only by sharp prac-
tice was able to drag along until the
18th of March, 1898.
Republican Extravaganza made def

efforts to administer tho government

A Democratic tariff is encouraging

If the policy of tho Harrison admin.

have increased tho national debt by
