Walter WickeFs Sense of Humor Is
Not Appreciated.

Walter Wicket will be arraigned this
morning for impersonating a. police Of
ficer of the city and causing thereby
no end of excitement in the neighbor-
hood of a66 West Third South street
Wicket is a stout young fellow of is
years of age and speaks with yery
gruff tones
He found an old military coat on
Tuesday morning, which was decorated
with brass buttons. Attired in this
and SLOUGH hat, he started out To
own that part of the city for a while
at least. He awOke a number of bows
from their beds, recited fictitious
charges TO them and then and there
marched them off, to the distress of
their parents. When he had gotten
enough fun out Of enc subject he would
have his laugh and allow the victim
to realize the joke before returning to
his home.
Everything would have gone
smoothly for Wicket if the humor of
the situation had not been too lasting.

will appear in court this morning. and

Gold Deposits in Alaska.

Washington, Feb. 3.-The secretary
of the interior today sent to the senate
the geological survey report of the gold
deposits in Alaska. 1t shows the pres
ence of a gold belt 300 miles in length,
which enters the territory near the
mouth of Forty Mile creek and extends
westward across the Yukon valley. 1t
is the opinion of the geologist that it
is practicable to prosecute quartz min
ing throughout the year in this region.
Large areas of bituminous coal were
also discovered along the river. The
report says there can be little dispute
as to the boundary line where it crosses
the belt, as it is cut in two by the 141st
meridian.

Alleged Taylor Turned Loose.

st. Louis, Feb. ga special to the
Chronicle from Carrollton, Mo-, says
Sheriff Lewis this morning received
two photographs of men arrested a.
Hanford, Cal, on suspicion of being
George Taylor, the murderer of the
Meeks family, near Carrollton one year

to Taylor in the photographs. Reput-
able citizens examined the photo
graphs today and declared that they
do not look at all like Taylor. On
the strength of this Sheriff Lewis tele-

Unchanged in South Dakota.

Pierre, S. D., Feb. S.-The PopuIist
caucus tonight took several ballots
without choice, and the senatorial sit
uation is, therefore, unchanged. The
highest number of votes received by
Kyle was 81 and his vote ran down as
low as 81. The highest vote received
by Goodykoontz was %. Plowman's
vote ran from to 10. The situation
instead of becoming simplified, grows
more difficult. There seems less of a
chance of factions coming together
today than at any time during the
contest.

The feverfret of day was DER,
And golden TELL tie evenings smile.
We entered through the open door
OF the great city minister pile;
There side by side, We paused while,
There. for little sober space,
" iilIe, Densive, with upIfted face,
We sought the ending OF the aisle,
Where sanity faces seemed to dream
Amid the easements splendid stream.
On, pale persuasive twilight hour,
That dulS the great worlds noisy drum.
The impatient urge of worldly power,
Voiced on the lips of care grew dumb
And left us but the purer sum
OF worship. Wings unseen did beat
The air and wave q holy heat
Against our brows; a sDlendOr come
From shores eternal seemed to burn;
And heaven was not so hard to learn.
We turned to where the city laved
The threshold stones. The crimson dyes
OF easement niche and arch engraved,
The wistful gaze OF sanity eyes,
Still held our hearts and hushed the
signs
OF DOUBT despair. So, came the thought
That life might, too, be Gothic-wrougnt 4;
And winnowed round with SanctitieS
OF faiths uplifting prayerful pains;
And fllled with great cathedral calmSi

asked If they suffered with headache
when studying, about one-third of the
scholars answered in the affirmative, the
headache being due to defective eyes. The
principal said he found that the scholars
of the better families had the poorer eyes
ana that the same was true of those who
took the Latin course
At the South Side High school the eyes
were found to be even worse. Prof. Saw

OF his scholars needed to wear glasses,
and that so per cent more were in need of
medical treatment. That>is to say. there

Some of the councilmen are INDUCING
in much speculation as to the result of the
resolution requiring the mayor to make
an accounting for the moneys expended
out of his contingent fund. So far as the
ordinances are concerned there seems TO
be nothing of a specific nature requiring
the mayor 10 make such a report. The
fund was established May 20. 1890. by the
passage of the following ordinance:
"A sundry expense fund is hereby
created. to which, from time to time. as
shall be deemed re ressary. the city coun-
ell shall aDproEr le funds to meet and
pay such expense OF the city, the pay
ment of which is not oJheIW- provided
for by ordinance. The said Iund shall
be under the control of the mayor and
auditor of pub. accounts. who shall
audit and pay all bills justly chargabie
to said fund.
Mayor Glendenning assumed charge of
the city government there was something
over 5000 in the Sundry expense. or, a;
il is commonly called, the mayors con-
tingent fund. The present council has
appropriated only 81 600 toward the fund,
and that was for the purpose of detray-
ing the expenses of the firemen's conven-
ton last summer
In about six months the mayor used
up the fund and the auditors books show
he has drawn a total of S1.OOOS3. the last
penny being drawn out last August, ana
since which time the council has seen fit
to set aside nothing.
The members of the finance committee
claim that the reason the mayor was not
called upon for an accounting before was
because they expected him TO make a
statement in his annual message of how
the moneys were used
Auditor Swan. who. under the law, is
made one of the custodians of the fund.
and who shall audit and pay all bills
justly chargable to said fund" does not
know how and for what purposes most
of the money was expended. The mayor,
he said. would make out warrant, usual
ly payable to himself. for 800 or $500 as
the case might be, and the only informa-
ton given was the statement on the
voucher for current expenses. OF
course. in some instances vouchers were
filed in regular form. thus showing for
what purpose the money was used.
But the council is not satisfied with
half loaf and wants the mayor to
furnish a detailed statement of how he
spent the money. While it is generally
believed that the mayor is not obliged to
do so the general belief prevails that he
will enlighten the members seeking in
formation and that the finance commit
tee will receive his report before the next
meeting of the council.

HANDS OFF!

Arise. o mighty Europe, and vindicate
your right
To bear the name of Christendom, to
boast you guard the light:
For while the Cross is dra9ged to dust,
you sit supinely by,
And turn your careless eyes aside while
maid and matron die.
Alas! if you are too debased to see your
duty plain,
If martyrs suDplicating hands must
stretch to you in vain,
When noble Hellas strives. alone, Christs
people to make free,
At le2st-.f you will help her MOTOR
Christs sake, let her be.

Paper Underclothing in japan.

Paper underclothing is much used in
Japan. The garments are cut out of
large sheets of finely crisped japanese
paper, the pieces sewed together and
the buttonholes strengthened with
calico or linen. The fabric is strong.
even when wet, flexible and extremely
light fact to be considered is that
every Jap takes not bath at least
once day. His paper clothes are so
cheap that new ones can be afforded
frequently.
