and Ezra McCrea work like slaves?
And what does he mean by spending
an entire hour from to wander
ing around the streets or going to
, ball games? His time is the citys.
He must work There is work for
him to do. In the interests of good
government and reform Matt ought
to have sense and patriotism enough
to pull on a pair of old pants and
clean up the council chamber after
the aldermen have left THAT would
give him work enough for several
hours. Matt has calmly walked out
of the court house at 5 o'clock smok-
ing cigar while the janitor is smok-
ing with perspiration. Matt has been
known to go to the theater in the
evening when there were cigar
stumps and bits of paper lying all
over the second floor of the court
house. Let's have a change.
What does this man McCardy mean
by working on his own lawn in the
evening when there is dust on Sew
enth street? What does the controller
mean by sprinkling his own grass at
+ O'Clock when the city is paying a
man to sprinkle the streets? If the
controller appreciated the honor of be-
ing controller and knew how hard we
have to work to keep up the munich
pal government, he would have that
man fired and do the street Sprinkling
himself. But no, he leaves his office
at o'clock. This is something we are
obliged to condemn in the most Sc
we're rhetoric.
"And there is City Physician Ancker.
Who is he, and what is he, that he
burst leave his duties at 5, or 6, or z,
and dress himself in the garb of a
successful professional man and stroll
on Summit avenue for the benefit of
his health?, What right has he to
gather health when there is garbage
to collect? Why should he delegate
| to himself the right to seek the COM
mon pleasures of mankind when the
| city is full of bacteria? Why should
ne not give up the time which is
| r1ghtfully ours, in hunting up clues
to germs, in running the germs down
and exterminating them? We don't
care what kind of germs they are. We
are indignant enough to mean any old
kind of germ, and if DR.. Ancker ex-
| poets us to pay him his salary with any
kind of grace he will take these hours
which he calls leisure hours and spend
| them In killing germs, bacteria and a
whole lot Of things which ought not
to be. DR.. Ancker could spend the
| evenings cleaning up the hospital yard
or shoveling the coal in the basement
| instead of allowing the coal man to
charge for the time.'

after in the afternoon Mayor Smith
be required to put on a pair of
oVeralls and work on the court
house lawn. He can NOW the grass
and squirt the hose for an hour
and thus earn partially the money
annually expended in keeping him
in Office. He can enforce the city
laws up to o'clock, and after that
he ought by all manner of means to
indulge in some sort of manual labor
just to show that there is no hard
feeling. Mayor Smith ought to con-
slider this suggestion and instead of
going to a ball game in the after
noon he ought to sweep the flag
stones in the Jail alley and clean
the windows of the Black Maria.
"City Engineer Rundlett, as every
body knows, has little to do. He is
wasting the city's time. He draws
a fairly good salary. Fairly good?
Yes, munificent. Why should he be
allowed to spend his evenings in
complete idleness. There is plenty
of work for him to do. He ought to
take the place of a laborer on the
street paving, and thus save the
city the expense of one man. Why
shouldn't Mr.. Rundlett take his
evenings on the street cleaning gang?
He ought by all means if he is loyal
to the interests of the city. He can
get a pair of overalls cheap and
heavy shoes will cost him less than
$3.50. Now, why shouldn't he spend
his odd and leisure hours sweeping
Seventh street, and showing the peo-

appreciates the honor?

oARsMAN,s DOOM IS SEALED.

G. D. Wright, of Englewood, drove
up to the Washington Park boat
landing recently, lifted W
shaped box from his carriage
and chartered one of the ordinary
two-oared row boats at the wharf.
Then he began to unpack his box,
and in five minutes had taken from
it an apparently hollow and bent
nickel-plated tube about six feet
long. At one end he attached a two
bladed propeller wheel, each blade
being about six inches long and two
wide. Then he screwed a plate into
the top rail of the stern of the boat
and attached the larger end of his
tube to it in the same manner that
detachable oar locks were placed on
either side Of the boat. Next he
fastened an electric motor to the
top of his tube and connected it by
two small wires to a storage bat
terry, which he placed in the center
of the boat. Then he dropped the
propeller wheel into the water,
touched a spring and away the boat
Sped
A small wooden handle projecting
from the end of the tube upon which
the motor was mounted was used to
steer with, as in the case of an ordi-
nary rudder. For two hours Mr..
Wright rode about the lake, backing
the beat or slowing its speed, or
turning in it's length at will.
A 'hcrowd soon congregated, to
whom Mr.. Wright explained he was
making the first public test in Chi
cago of new combination of motor,
propeller and rudder. The patentee
is w. S. Salisbury, a local electrician.
1t is claimed the cost of charging
a battery with sufficient power to
propel an. ordinary row boat for ten
hours is SO cents. A primary bat
terry, it is claimed by the inventor,
may be used as well, the expense
being 40 per cent less. All that is
necessary to charge such a battery
is sulphuric acid and water, which
may lie taken along in jug no
larger than. that required for the
bait or snake antidote.

When the board of aldermen and

not pare them quite as close to the

American Indians View the Mysterious
Much ne the Asintlcs do.
Very reluctantly do civilized In.
dians give up their ideas Of magic.
The idea Of worshiping growing OBJ
jects is quite settled one among the
tribes, and some OF the stories which
connect corn and flowers with benefi-
cent deities are very pleasing and at
tractive. Animals, too. are spoken OF
In o very singular and supcrstitious
manner, and the different sizes OF
beasts which are hunted is accounted
for in n story of the creation which is
oven more realistic and practical than
the one told in the first chapter Of
Genesis. This story, which Is
frequently repeated with variations,
Is that ut the time OF the creation
all the beasts of the Geld and forests
clamored for priority in size. Each
was vainglorious and dictatorial, and
one after another was being humbled
by being made smaller than hated
enemy, the idea being that every
thing human and otherwise that was
born had prior existence, and came
into the world with the benefit Of ex-
perience thus derived. The doctrine
Of the transmigration Of souls Is 80
general among Indians Of various
tribes that there was nothing at all
peculiar about this, and 1t is very
probable that some OF the early
writers on this subject got their ideas
from exceptionally intelligent expo
nents OF Indian buddhism or some
thing very similar TO It
