The Dry Goods Economist points out
that the fashions for women have a great
deal to do with the amount of revenues
raised by the tariff. When the fashions
call for fabrics that are not successfully
manufactured in this country, there is an
increase in imports. 1t might be worth
while for the ways and means commit
tee of the coming House to look into the
feasibility of legislating on. fashions. with
a view to increasing the revenue. They
might make balloon sleeves and wide
skirts compulsory, and provide that they
shall be made only of certain goods,
which are not manufactured in this coun-

about the grand jury matter, il appear

been asked by the council to call such

There has been great deal of talk
about investigation. As you know I

There has been a charge filed

On With The Dance.

The city council at its meeting Tues
day evening, had a very lively session.
The principal feature of the evening
was when Aid, Nc Queen preferred his
charges against the Mayor. The
charges are eight in number and read
as follows:
Nos one, two and three-That gam
bling houses are permitted to run.
Fourth-Ihat the Gem theatre has
been allowed to sell liquor without a
license.
Fi0h-That the mayor received
brides for negIecting to perform his
duty.
Sixth-That money was extorted
from appointees on the fire depart
ment and police force.
Seventh-That Saloons are allowed TO
run on Sunday.
Eighth-That the mayor neglected to
prosecute offenders as set forth in the
first seven charges.
To all these titles Of charges, was
given specific charges citations, dates,
etc. How much Alderman Mcqueen
NAV be able to prove of course remains
to be seen. Probably there is not a
man in the city who does feel assured
in bis own mind that every charge made
is absolutely true. but il is one thing to
have this assurance, and an entirely
different matter to prove your man ac-

Painful Accident

Supt. A. w. Rankin sustained most
painful injury Tuesday afternoon by
falling from his wheel. He was riding
on Belknap about l p. m. when the bar
of his bicycle broke throwing the super
intendcnt heavily 10 the pavement
breaking his arm just above the wrist
and at the same time dislocating the
joints. The pain was most eXcruciatng
and for hours after the accident oc-
cured Mr.. Rankin's appearance gave
signs Of his suffering.
He was driving along at a street car
pace when he fell. lie Immediately
went to Or. W. Q. Prosser, who, with
considerable difficulty managed to get
the joints back into their proper places.
The arm wa7 so badly manglcd as to
make it difficult to apply any consider
able force. After the joints were put
in their places the pain began to 20
down and the sufferer received great
relief

The Terms Agreed TO.

The council agreed to the demand of
the Normal school regents relating to
the improvement of the school site
selected, Tuesday evening, and so this
much discussed question is virtually
settled-all but paying the fiddler for
the dancing we have had and are to
have. This is in effect, that the city
grades, payes, and sidewalks something
over mile Of street, half Of which are
avenues one hundred feet wide. The
Leader says, "Roughly estimated, this
will amount to about 5000" This Is
certainly the "rOughest" estimate We
have ever seen come from even that
rough sheet. BY the time these i'm
provements are made, we will find that
the city will be called upon to pay not
less than $4,000, possibly S23, 900. So
that when all the expenses are punched
together-the original bonus of $4,000,
the so, 900 site bought OF the Land x
River Improvement Company, the $40,
900 site bought by the county, the $50
600 for improving the last site, and the
incidental sums paid junketing com
mittees during the past year, and legal
advice, say 5000, we find that We are
paving for our Normal school the snug
sum of $l25,0O0 A pretty stiff bonus
for a very small benefit, and all spent
in open violation of all law and pre-
cident. But let Us hope the end has
been reached.
