TO BE NO BOULEVARD.
The Council Will Permit the Use
of Street
IF PROPERTY OWNERS ACR 3E

OF Which There is NO Probability
Other Matters Talked OF by the
C0unctI-The state Journal Made
the Official Paper by Unanimous
Vote.
It is very doubtful whether the city
will have boulevard or not, though the
council took the initial steps last night to
allow the horsemen to establish one.
The G. G. Gage petition was reported
favorably from the committee on streets
and walks with the reservation that what
ever is done shall be subject to the ap-
proval of the mayor and council.
Visions of fast driving were fitting
through the minds of the councilmen for
it is less than week since they saw Alix
trot a mile in 2.074 and Councilman
Stephenson said that he understood that
the horsemen wanted place where they
could drive at a 2.0314 clip. He con-
sidered it dangerous and asked the city
attorney what he thought about it.
eff a boulevard is established" said
the city attorney, ''the speed regulation
must be the same as on other streets. If
it is not, and if some one is run over and
killed the city would be liable"
Councilman Bradford said: ave can
not allow people to drive faster on one
street than another. The horsemen
might as we'll understand that if they
want a race track they will have to go
outside the city. We have boulevards
now in Quincy street. Topeka avenue,
Kansas avenue, Harrison and jackson
streets and it seems to me that is
enough"
Councilman Skinner: ''They have
boulevards in other cities where fast
driving ia Darmittad
Councilman Burgess: "There is no
city which does not have one or
more boulevards for speeding
horses, and if the people along
the street are willing do not see why
we should object"
Councilman Bradford: sit is a legal
proposition, and would have just as
much right to enjoin fast driving on any
street in the city as the people living
along the street The streets are dedicat-
ed to the use of the city"
Councilman Drew offered an amend
ment providing that the consent of the
property owners along any street should
be secured, and the amendment was
adopted, which was followed by the
adoption of the report of the committee.

SMELLED HIS BEER GLASS.
Mayor of DesMOines and Editor Clarkson
Raid Drug Store.

Mayor of DeBMOineS and Editor CLarAson
Raid Drug Store.
DEsMoINEs, Ia, July 9.-Mayor Hills
yesterday afternoon visited one of the
most notorious saloon drug stores in the
city, and finding men there drinking
beer, had the place raided. For long
time he has been trying to get these
places closed and officers reported that
it was impossible. He met Editor Clark
son, of the Register, on the street.
Clarkaon offered to show him one Of the
places and they went together to A III.
Bnby's store. They walked behind the
prescription case and the mayor went up
to man who was drinking, took the
bottle and glass from him, smelled the
contents and went out again.
The two went to the Register Office,
and the mayor ordered the police to at
once raid the place. 1t was done before
any body in it knew who the eccentric
callers were. Later in the day the
mayor ordered other places rsided.

LOTS OF BOODLING.
Gov. AltgeId Charges Illinois Legislature
With Corruption.

Gov AlbRoI0 Cnar&oS ILLINOIS AeSlbAhIUES
With Corruption.
SPRINGFIELD, Ill, July 9.-In an inter-
view with the correspondent of Chicago
paper Governor Altgeld said: at is a
fact that certain members of the general
assembly were paid large sums for their
support of the Humphrey racing bill.
One member am told, was paid $4,000
by an officer of the racing association.
All these facts will doubtless be made
public at the proper time and place.
THAT boodling or attempted boodling
has marked the progress of nearly every
important bill through the assembly is
common report and there is plenty of
evidence on the subject.
"Whether the senate and the house
will notice the charges and inquire into
them, or whether they will ignore them
l cannot say. but the two houses clearly
owe it to their honor to make thorough
investigation. Unless something is done
to break up the practice of boodling in
the legislature, it will result in the
breaking down of our state institutions"

DE BARROWS BOUND OVER.

He Is Under Bond for 81, 900 for Trial
Richard De Barrows, who shot and
killed Foreman Ross of the Mulvane
ranch a week ago, was given his prelim-
mary examination before Justice of the
peace R. Binns at ROssville.
He was bound over to the September
term of the district court in the sum of
$4,000. He expects to be able to give
bond. De Barrows was represented by
A. NJ. Harvey and s. B. Isenhart of To.
peka, who will conduct his defense He
refused to waive preliminary hearing, in
order to ascertain the nature of the evil
dence of the prosecution.
The three men who accomp anied Ross
to De Barrows' house and witnessed the
fight were the only ones to
testify. They told the story of
the killing substantially as it
has been reported heretofore. They ad-
mitted that they went to the house for
the purpose of evictment
The part that De Barrows' wife took
in the ARRAY has been generally under
estimated. She armed herself with
Ratchet and was about to do desperate
work with it when she was disarmed.
Then she secured an axe and Ross was
trying to overpower her when De Bar
rows came home. He Immediately en-
tered the house by another door and
getting revolver used it with deadly
effect The first time the trigger was
pulled the revolver didn't work, but the
next four shots all took effect, two caus-
ing the death of Ross and two hitting
one of the intruders.

The old Jefferson Davis mansion in
Richmond, Va, formerly known as the
"White House of the Confederacy," has
been converted into a museum for Con-
federate relics, and turned over to the Con-
federate memorial and literary society.
Pensions to Confederate soldiers are
paid by southern states which impose a
direct tax for that purpose. The number
of pensioners does not diminish, but rath-
er increases, although the war is 30 years
gone by. The conviction is general that a
good many receive pensions who are not
entitled to them, and the auditor of the
state of Mississippi recommends the aboli-
ton of the present system and the institu-
ton of a soldiers home, supplying a ref
uge and support to those who are really
entitled to it, and to none other.
Col. Frederick d. Grant writes to The
Burlington Free Press denying recently
published statement that his mother was
born in Vermont. "My mother" he says,
twas born in st. Louis, Mo. her father
was born in Cumberland, Md, and her
mother came from Pittsburg, Pa. Who
ever gave her birthplace as Vermont was
mistaken. My fathers family, however,
came from New England, Matthew Grant
having settled in Windsor, Conn, in 1886,
and the family remained there until my
great-grandfather, soon after the Revolu-
tionary war, went to western PennsylVa-
mia, where my grandfather was born"

Last week witnessed a serious disturb
ance in the stock market, which culminat-
ed in a panic in Wall street on Friday
The weak and uncertain feeling with which
the markets opened was greatly increased
by the publication of the President
war message" London began selling
American shares, and when the House
passed the bill for a Venezuelan commits
sion, the London holders of American Sc
curites dumped them overheard in panic
of fright and distrust. The effect was in
stantly felt in Wall street, and stocks fell
Friday as they have rarely done before in
an equal length of time. Banks begin to
contract loans and call money rose from
the dead level of l to per cent of months
past to 70 per cent or more. The total
stock sales of the week reached the enor-
nous total of 2,34j, 7j4 shares. The de-
cline in these stocks ranged from 6t to ia
per cent. The average loss was probably
from 10 to 12t per cent. When it is re
membered that there was equal shrinkage
in the selling value of the total volume of
stocks-those which were not put on the
market suffering equally in this respect
with those that were, it will be seen that
the aggregate of loss was enormous. The
estimate is all the way from $500, 900, 900
to 81 600 100000. These figures are strik-
ing. During the whole month of Novem-
Der, 1890, comprehending the fall resulting
from the Barring failure, the extreme fuc-
tuations averaged up not mach more than
the net losses for this one week alone
During the whole month of July, 1898,
comprehending the height of the panic of
that year, the extreme Quotations were not
far above these net losses of SINCE week
On Monday tendency to recover was
manifest, and there was general feeling
that 1.-THE war was over" This favorable
tendencylhas since been maintained, and
in many respects the market has shown an
expected recovery.
