Few Of the patrons Of restaurants

the comely damsels who serve the food

s. Stevens. a prominent cattle buyer OF
Towner, has been arrested for opium
smuggling. For some time certain cat
tlemen have been purchasing worn-out
oxen on the Canadian side of the line
and have wrapped opium i'm tin foil and
forced 1t down the throats of the oxen.
The cattle are then driven across the
line and small duty paid on them.
After driving them some distance be-
yond the customs office the cattle were
killed and the opium recovered. This
has been "a very profitable business.

and got away across the bridge.

THE FISH DEALERS MUST PAY.
The Council Sustains the Mayor in
His Decision.

His Decision.
The city council spent some time yester-
day in hearing the appeals of the fisl
dealers from the decision Of Mayor Ny
ers in the police court. The mayors &C.
cision was sustained by vote Of to 3.
the decision being that the dealers are
liable to license and must pay fine of $50
or take out license at the same figure.
W. W. Osborne, who represented the
fish dealers. argued that they were not
liable for the tax, as it had not been
shown that they had done business, ex-
cept in the market; that they had not
been required to pay license for doing
business in the market in previous years.
Mr.. Osborne showed that dealers in other
goods in the market were not compelled
TO pay special taxes and argued that it
was entirely unreasonabl and unjust that
the FISH dealers should be required to pay
such a tax, especially in view of the fact
that it was shown that the fish dealers
paid a higher stall rent than any other
class OF dealers in the market.
The motion was to sustain the mayors
decision, and the aldermen voted as fol-
lows:
Ayes-Gleason, Watson, Hudson, Bacon,
Tiedeman, Garrard.
Nays-Falligant, screven, Lamotte, Will
link. Kolshorn
The appeal Of j. c. Brown from the
fines imposed upon him by Recorder vii
son in the police court on the charges
brought by DR.. Falligant was set for
hearing at the next regular meeting.

ONLY EIGHT DAYS LEFT.
Voters Not Registering Rapidly for
the Fence or No Fence Election.

Voters Not Registering Rapidly for
the Fence or No Fence Election.
In spite of the fact that there are only
eight more days in which to register for
the fence" or mo fence" election. voters
do not seem to be having their names re-
corded very rapidly.
Up to yesterday there were only 2,2s7
voters registered, as against about 5000 I'M
der the old registration.
The small registration may be accounted
for in part by the strictness of the law.
which requires every man to have a clear
record in the matter of the payment of his
taxes back to 1877. If he has failed to nav
any of his taxes for any one year since
that time he Is disqualified, until he has
done so, ana cannot register. This fact,
however, cannot account for the seeming
apathy on the part of a great many with
regard to registering, who have paid all
their taxes and are fully qualified to have
their names go upon the registration
books.
The registration books for the fence cleo
ton, which takes place the first Wednss-
day in July, will close June 10, as under the
law they must be closed twenty days be-
fore the election, in order to give the COM
missioners OF registration time to purge
the lists, and the ordinary and clerk of the
superior court time to furnish lists of all
persons disqualified on account of any dis
ability coming within the law, of which
they may have cognizance through the
records of their respective Offices.
The commissioners who go over the lists
and make all the necessary corrections are
Messrs. T. +. Johnson, John /. Morrissey
and Robert J. Wade. All who are inter-
ested in the election are being urged to
register as early as possible, as the time
is short.

DANGER FROM ROTTEN POLES.
The City Council 10 Look Into the
Matter.


Matter.
The frequent falling of rotten street car
poles is causing general nervousness
among the patrons of the lines. That this
nervousness is not unfounded is shown by
the number of rotten poles which are to
be found throughout the city.
AS a rule the decayed poles have rotted
away just where the pole enters the
ground A pole may be apparently sound
and yet rotten nearly through This is
shown on Montgomery street, south of
Anderson, where the street and lane de-
partment has recently graded the street.
The earth has been removed around the
poles for several inches at the base, re-
vealing a large number which have rotted
nearly through.
Alderman Gleason, chairman Of the
street and lane committee, who was spok-
en- TO on the subject, said that he thought
the existing ordinances are sufficient to
cover the street railway pole business, but
he was in doubt whether 1t was his duty
or that of the city marshal to notify the
railway companies to replace poles known
to be decayed with sound ones. An in
spection of the street railway poles of the
city would be a good idea, he said, and the
matter will probably be brought up in
council.
The life of the cypress pole is only 1--WE
years, and as practically all the street
car poles in the city are rapidly approach
ing that age and some have passed 1t, II
will be seen that the companies will be
kept busy replacing their poles from now
on. . If the street railway companies could
be induced to replace their rotten poles
with iron posts ii would undoubtedly he
much better for all concerned. In most
of the northern cities where the trolley
system is in use the companies are re-
quired to use iron posts with brackets
for the suspension of the wires. The
iron posts are much handsomer, as we'll
as much safer than the wooden poles ana
last a number of years. President Col
Inns of the Electric railway was spoken
to on the subject
I'VE are replacing our poles with new
| ones as fast as the old ones rot OUT
he said. 1T is true the iron posts last
| longer, but they cost a great deal more
money, and we are not in a position 10
| afford the extra expense just now. Cedar
/ poles last longer than cypress and cost
| more money, but are more liable TO break "
President Collins said the accident at
Bay and Abercorn streets Sunday morn
| re, when three poles were dragged down,
would not have occurred had the wires
| of the two companies which join at that
point been properly insulated.
