the silver men indicated their supre-
macy.
Chairman Harrity called the con-
yentfon to order, his voice easily being
heard over the tumult to the furthest
corner, testing the acoustic qualities
of the hall with satisfactory results.
The chairman faced the assem- blage for
several minutes while the ushers swept
the aisles clean of knots of comforting
delegates. The gavel descended at ten
minutes before l o'clock
After the prayer Harrity announced
that David B. Hill had been selected
by the National Committee as temper
airy chairman.
A minority report was read by the
National Committee man Clayton sub

vote Of $50 to $40. This was the first

IT'S A GOOD THING.
The Dead Animal job Pays Nearly %S'Ooo
Year When Rightly Handled.

-
john Haisch, who has just been sue
ceeded as official city scavenger by
George Hapgood, is preparing to make
the city council an offer that will be
surprise to people who look upon the
office as lowly job for poor people.
Prior to the present time the city paid
for the removal of dead horses $2.25 per
head and gave the scsvenger the privi-
lege of charging individuals $500.
Horses, the city has to pay for number
about fifteen to twenty each month. and
the Goutside" work amounts to about
the same
Besides the income received from the
hauling the scavenger is entitled to the
hide and other saleabie portions OF the
animal which usually nets him about 81
more.
Haisch was scavenger for eight mouths
and hauled about 400 horses. They with
the other animals that came in his juris-
diction have Melted him in the eight
months in the neig borhood of 1900 to
$4,000.
III addition to this work Haisch says
he will remove the refuse from the IRE
department, police station and other city
buildings and will not charge the city
one cent for all its work provided he is
allowed to charge individuals 81 for each
horse.
The city now pays Hapgood $34 pei
month and allows him to charge 70 cent?
for individual jobs.
Haisch say Hapgood is IN partnership
with M E. Lowe, who was let out of ths
job for maintaining a nuisance as {

The report from Kansas City that the
Santa Fe road is about to sever the rela-
