HEARD ON THE SIDE.

The BLACKBERRY King called at this
Office again yesterday and gave a tesu-
monial regarding the advantages OF ad-
vertising in The Herald. 1t will be re-
meslbered that on Wednesday the king
was heartbroken because OF a failure on
/ his part to induce a young lady of Logan
to consent TO become the Blackberry
| Queen" But all this is now relic of the
past The sunshine of matrimonial bliss
now lights up his pathway and JOY joins
hands in the reign of the king and his
new queen. 1t appears from the latest
literary production of this eminent
/ vegetable that a fair maid of forty has
consented TO take part in the government
( of the jam-producing fruit Al young Ia
dies who have cherished thoughts OF
/ sending in applications will please re-
! frain.
The teachers committee of the board
of education has under consideration the
question of the adoption of the Vertical
System of penmanship. and will report
the same to the next meeting Of the
board on Thursday next. Those who are
in favor of the change. but are hesitate
ing on account of the extra expense
which it is feared the innovation will en-
tail. need have no nlisgivinSs. The
change will not cost the board a dollar.
The firms which supply the books. say
that they are willing 10 exchange for all
the old copy books now in use. That is
to say, for every set of the old turned in
a new one will be furnished. San Fran
cisco has recently adopted the new sys-
tenn and reports from the schools in that
city are to the effect that it is working
splendidly.
Members of the old county board are
anxious that the investigation which has
been begun by the new should be contin-
ued. Joe Morris says that if there has
been any fraud committed that those
guilty should be punished. John P. Ca
hoon is equally vigorous in stating that
he is willing to be Investigated until the
cows come home, while Herman Pamber-
ger declares that If he is guilty of any
fraud, collision or anything akin TO
fraud or collision he wants to know it, in
order that his conscience may have
chance TO reproach him with his wrong
county court have had no chance of being
heard on the matter, and the public anX-
iously awaits the time when they will be
given hearing.
From an inside source it is gathered
that Mayor Baskin will in the future
scrutinize all transactions of the city
council with even more care and vigilance
than he has been wont TO indulge in.
The action of the city legislature in over
on his mettle, and in the coming days all
business will be attended to in accord
erning municipal matters.
AT last the special officers, whose duty
1t is to arrest all who violate the provi-
sions of the bicycle ordinance. have been
appointed Among the number is Mike
the new officials will wear stars, and will
have jurisdiction only in cases where
wheels are involved. Speaking of Kenne-
dy. however. the man who breaks the
law while he is around will have hard
time in escaping. if he does escape. Mich
ael has broken three records since he has
swiftest. He has had his wheel geared UP
to zoo as a preparatory measure. and woe
betide the man who refuses TO halt when
commanded.
Chief Pratt says that the ladies who VI
olate the law regarding sidewalk riding.
will be punished as we'll as men. Women's
suffrage will prevail in this matter from
the start. ANY lady in boomers who per-
sists in burning the pavement at rate
of more than eight miles per hour will be
promptly run in. BY the way, there is
room for two or three lady policemen. or
policewomen, and the first three who will
apply will be appointed.
Commissioner Noble, of the fire and po-
lice board. has a grievance against the
lady wheelmen or wheelworen, which
ever way is preferable. When on his way
the subject was discussed he was run in
TO by one of the fair sex and knocked
gally west. Perhaps this may have some
thing TO do with the matter of appointing |
ladies on the foorce.'
Circumstances seem TO combine them
selves against the reporters of this city. |
Just as all were ready to write up a kill |
ing in the Pierce case, when all the pre- |
liminaries were arranged, behold the man !
appears on the scene as mild-mannered |
gentleman with no thought OF shooting !
in his heart. Twas ever thus. etc.
