Not Yet Settled

Mrs. Sherry ODara has not yet set
tied up her money affairs. In addition
to the money which was turned over to
her as the result of the compromise
between herself and her husband, there
was $40 in the hands of the sheriff. This
was the price of the ticket east which
O'Dara had purchased and had not
used, the railroad company refunding
the money. When the case was settled
Deputy Sheriff Fleming turned this
money owed to Mr.. Oliver, O'Dara's at
torney. Yesterday Mrs. O'Dara COM
planned at the district attorneys office
that Oliver refused to turn this money
over unless he was paid $1O and she
wanted to know If there was no legal
process by which he could be compelled
to hand it over She was informed that
her only remedy lay in civil action.

WARD DELEGATION TURNED DOWN
Broatch Would Not Make Terms. with
Third Wnrl

There are few politicians in the Third
ward who declare that they will dig up a
hatchet bigger than guillotine this fall
when 1t comes to electing a Broatch dele
cation from the ward. They say that some
of the Third ward leaders got together and
concluded that 1t was about time they had
some portion Of the municipal patronage, and
as result committee was appointed to
wait on Broatch and request that Third
ward man be appointed as superintendent
Of the market place, under the provisions of
the ordinance which was passed at the last
meeting of the council. They succeeded in
obtaining an audience with the mayor, and
stated their case.
To make the matter more binding it was
intimated that If the request was granted
they would see that the delegation from
the ward to the state convention would not
be unfavorable to his gubernatorial candidacy.
Then the mayor is said to have replied that
their promises did not cut any ice with
him. II have always had to buy the Third
ward, and l expect to do it this time" he
added, and with that consolation the COM
mittee was dismissed. And they say that
Broatch will hear something drop when the
Third ward is heard from.

his companions at the Union Pacific shops.
Some time before the cortege was timed

friends arrived to take last look at the

adorned and surrounded with mass of
beautiful floral offerings Of many designs.
volunteer freman's helmet and a fireman's

The pallbearers were Harry Taggart and

in their gray uniforms, came next, and be-
hind them were the hearse and the palbear-

ron COUNCIL TO SOLVE.
How TO Provide Bonrd OF Health with
Money is the QuestIon.

money Nnt
There is likely to be startling explosion
some day when the manner in which the
Board of Health is running its business
comes officially before the city council. The
council has passed an ordinance by which cue
sanitary Inspector is provided for and the
members who are responsible for the ord-
nence declare that one is amply sufficient at
present But the board has now three in
spectors on duty two of whom are drawing
salaries.
According to a well known arrangement,
there will be four inspectors on salary in an
other month. They started out with one in
spector, as provided by ordnance But Mayor
Broatch had to give a job to Charley johnson
and now he has one more adherent to reward.
In order to get his second man in he has to
consent to the addition OF still another in
spector for other members Of the board, and
four inspectors Is the result.
What effect this will have on the funds Of
the board is not difficult to estimate. At the
beginning of the year the board did not have
dollar on hand. The levy for the health
fund is expected to produce $S,144.06, accord
ing to the figures given by the comptroller.
During the first three months of the year,
with che sanitary inspector, the board spent
81, 1861, or a little more than 81 900 per
month There is now but $4,000 left in the
fund With the additional expenses of the
three extra inspectors this amount will last
just four months longer and at the end of
the first seven months of the year the Board
of Health will either have to go out Of busi-
ness or additional funds must be provided
This Is the problem with which the council

There were nine passengers in the trailer.
They were all men, and by common consent
both doors were left open in order that they
might enjoy the full benefit of the fresh

before starting out, and when the train
rounded the turn at Sixteenth and Cunning
streets the interior was as bright and sweet
as the April sunshine outside. This was its
condition when It reached California street
and single woman mounted the rear plat
form. Although she could scarcely have
taken prize in a beauty show, she was
stylishly dressed, and wore a pair of gold
eyeglasses, through which she cast a SUI
percilious glance on the nine masculines
who inhabited the car. She entered and
started to sit down. Then she glared scorn-
fully at the other passengers. and with an
air which seemed to cay, What business
have you on earth anyhow" went back to
the platform, where she leaned on the rear
railing with her nose tilted at an angle of
forty-fve degrees. 1t was plainly snub

wanted a car to herself, they politely al
