Two Council Committees Assembled Last
Evening.
Last evening the Council Committee
on Police met and recommended for
payment a bill of $3.50. The res.gna-
ton of officer George Kemp.e, and ne
promotion OF EXuaman H. j. Meyers
to the vacancy. with Charles Och as eX-
eraman. submitted by Chief Bennett,
were recommended to Council for con-
frmaton.
The Committee on Claims met and
took up the old-dme cain of William
Crogan, for damages sustained to his
property at the head Of Alley 20, by
a change of grade made three years ago.
The Committee on Claims Of the old
Council and the former City Solicitor
recommended a compromise of the mat
ter on a basis of $3.50 to be pad by the
citv. but through some means not wei
remembered Council never took action.
When .he present Council came in, the
matter was agin taken up, and a Ike
favorable recommendation was made.
Again. however. action by Council was
prevented, on FeDIudII IdS1' ~ " nv
lion to table. Lately this motion was
reconsidered and the matter sent back
to the committee. Last evening Mr..
Crogan was heard, and after some de-
liberation. which showed that The So
lic.tor thought the terms Of settle
ment would be advantageous to the city,
and also that one or TWO members Of the
committee were opposed to the claim,
in the Light Of present information, the
matter was deferred unit! Monday af-
ternoon. when the whole matter will
once more be gone over. The claim Of
Louis thinner, for damages to property
at Th.rty-third and McCo'loch street,
was also deferred until Monday.

A writer in Tho Outlook says that
somo years ago q friend of his wrote
short story which magazine nc
cepted md paid $50 for. The years
went by, and tho story still rested
snugly in tho safe. Meanwhile the
author of tho talo had become an in
dustrious man of letters and had
achieved some little reputation. Ho
ono day met tho editor, whom no
had como to know, and asked him
when he intended to print that story.
Tho editor replied that ho could not
tell, hut probably not i'll the immo-
diato futuro. The author went
home and thought tho thing over
and then asked the editor for tho
privilege of buying the story baok.
Tho editor asserting to this, tho au-
thor gave him $50 and received back
his story. Ho road it over, made q
few minor changes in it, put n new
title 10 il, Ind it typewritton and

whose digestion is good never wor-
