OF oontemporaneous Human fnteresa.

Augustin DAILY has given one phrass
30 American literature that, whatever
may be it's defect as logical statement,
has taken such deep root in current
English that it Is doubtful whether \
can possibly be eradicated, and probably
never will be dislodged. The phrase Is,
."Of contemporaneous human interest. I"
Mt. DAILY employed it originally in de-
scribing one Of his adaptations of the
pIaybill. The literary critics scored the
phrase unm arcifnlly at the time and
tried to ridiculs 1t out Of existence, but
,is seems that despite the Irresistible
conclusion that no play could possibly
possess any interest for trees or cattle as
distinguished from human" creatures
Mr.. DAILY had filled a long felt want
with it, for it is now met with increas-
ing frequency. Doubtless every one who
uses IL does 30 under mental process
charging the responsibility on DAILY, but
u is one Of those winged phrases that
drops In like an old time friend whose
clothes are noa above oriticism.-Wash-

The late N. Stambuloff. e1-premiez

most dramatic passages with Russia
occurred during the war with Servia
Prince Alexander had gone out to lead
the Bulgarian army in person. leaving
III. Stambulof in charge at home. Ii
was clear day, with not breath Of
air stirring. and the roar Of the cannon
was plainly heard in the city. M
Stambuloff thought the Servians were
winning the day. In their anxiety the
Bulgarian ministers applied to the Rus.
Bian diplomatic agent for advice. That
gentleman shrugged his shoulders and
said it was no affair Of his.
But" urged the Bulgarian minis

that word will not be spoken. On one
condition only will I stop them, and
that is that your beggar Of prince

not do. No, not for 30 Russiasp ~
With that M. StambuloR sprang into

the Bulgarian foreign minister got q

THOSE soUTH-sIDE BRIDGES.
Frantic Efforts of Administration to
Hide LIS shortcomings.

The Democratic managers feign indiffer-
ence TO the criticisms of the unbusinesslike
way in which public improvements were
SUSPENDED. wherever possible, in order that
political capital could be made out of them
when work was actively resumed short
time before election. At the same time
they are alarmed. since the facts have been
made public and are becoming generally
understood. A striking illustration is that
of the Beecher-street bridge across Pleas
ant run. The bridge was completed last
January, but has been absolutely useless
ever since. The east end of the bridge
stood fifteen feet or more above the creek
bed, and the only way pedestrians could
use it was by carrying stepladders to mount
it. Since the Journal published this fact,
some weeks ago, the administration has
been moved to action. A large force of
men is at work making the ''flP' and an APP
proach to the bridge will soon be completed.
In addition. the board has decided to open
and improve the street through to Shelby
street. The roadway is to be improved and
sidewalks are to be made. The reasons for
this activity are Wen known to people liv-
ing in that part of town. and the i'll feeling
toward the mayor on account of the long
delay has not been lessened by the present
frantic efforts that are being made TO Gre
ate more friendly feeling.
Down in the Fourteenth ward there is
good deal of amusement at the efforts of
the two Democratic papers the News and
the Sentinel, to create the impression that
a number of bridges over Pleasant run have
been ordered by the Board of Works as the
result of a recent Sunday drive the !ayor
made, in the course of which he attended a
picnic at a charitable institution, where il
is said he spent money freely for liquid and
other refreshments. Shortly after it was
announced in the Democratic papers that
the mayor became convinced of the neces-
sity for those bridges by making a per-
Sonal inspection of the stream. AT the time
that drive was made ordinance had been
introduced by the Board of Works asking
that money for those particular bridges be
appropriated. In the Council it was recog-
licans-with one exception-that the money
was simply wanted for political purposes,
the bridges could not be built this late
in the year. 1t is generally understood in
the Fourteenth ward that If the money
had been asked for early in the year, when
there was some chance for getting the
work done before the fall rains, there would
have been little if any opposition, and the
mayor is consequently being loudly criti-
cised. For two years people in the south
side of the city have been clamoring for the
bridges and the very hasty efforts that are
low being made to get them under way are
well understood
1t is just such reprehensble methods of
doing business in all parts of the city that
is causing such a revulsion of feeling
against the possessor of that greatly
mooted smile.

HIDING IN THE WOODS
TWENTY-FIVE POLICEMEN SEARCH
FOR MURDERER WILDER.
RumOred that He Has "a Winchester
Rifle and Intends to XIII His
Victims Friend.

It seems to be pretty well settled that
James Wilder. the negro who murdered
Otto Minger at Kissels garden two weeks
ago. is srill hanging about the city. The de-
moralized police by it's own actions admit
it, and yet he has not been arrested. Ru-
lnors began to reach the police shortly
after the murder that Wilder was hiding
in the vicinity of the place where he killed
Minger. People who knew him said they
saw him in the Fall creek bottoms. 1t was
believed then that Wilder was hanging
about the neighborhood of his home and
was being fed by his relatives. He lives at
the corner of Senate avenue and Berlin
street
More recently it has been reported to the
police that Wilder was seen northwest of
the city. Robert Ogle, farmer, said he
saw Wilder last Sunday. Another farmer
claimed to have also seen the fugitive The
police believe he had been living by forag-
ing, and WAS sleeping about in barns and
hay stacks. The police at Fairview Park
say that men who were known to be friends
of Wilder were seen carrying bundles into
the woods southwest of the park 1t was
their belief that these bundles contained
food for Wilder. One Of the men was fol-
lowed. but he became aware of the pursuit
and eladed his followers.
The latest report TO reach the police was
that Wilder had been seen in a saloon at
North Indianapolis Thursday night. Yes
tefday Acting superintendent Qulgley had a
search made of the woods northwest of the
city. from the Country Club house north to
the ''Fiye-mile' bridge and west almost 10
Eagle creek. Twenty-Five patrolmen and
detectives made up the searching party
They formed themselves in a skirmish line
and claim the search was thorough. They
found nothing 10 Indicate that Wilder had
been hiding IN those parts. Acting Superin-
tendent Quigley says that a reward of 500
will be paid for Information which may lead
to the arrest of Wilder.
There IS in North Indiana OIfS
that Wilder has declared he will not be
captured until he has killed Edward Hol-
man, an intimate friend of Otto Minger 1t
is also reported that Wilder's friends have
furnished him with a Winchester rifle

A SHAMEFUL sQUANDERING.
Recent Appropriations Being Raided
by Gangs of LOafers.

by Gangs Oh LOaIers.
Taxpayers living near Twentieth street
and Broadway saw cause for indignation
in their immediate neighborhood yesterday.
They had seen in the Journal an account of
the scandalous waste of city funds, where
the street commissioner had four and five
men on job that would not keep one man
busy This instance was repeated all over
the city,
About o'clock yesterday morning one
of these gangs, five men and wagon,
drove up to Twentieth and Broadway. One
of the men lifted out small plank, and
another man lifted out solitary brick.
The team Of horses at STE a day, had
been hired by Foreman Herpick to carry
the one brick and the small plank all that
distance. One man could have carried
both brick and plank. Then the five men
proceeded 10 replace an old plank in one
of the little gutter bridges, and put the
solitary brick under one end of the plank.
This exceedingly arduous work soon tired
the men and they camped out on the lawn.
They loafed at the place for three hours,
and then, yawning, walked away. One of
the taxpayers who watched the men said
the work could have been done by one man
in fifteen minutes.
In Just such manner as is described above
are the appropriations made by the Demo-
cratic Countil to re-elect Mayor Taggart
being wasted. Wherever il is possible to
find a job for disconnected "heelers, no
matter on what preteXt, it is done. When
there is no work that needs TO be done the
ingenious Mr.. Herpick knows how TO manu-
facture jobs After the park campaign
fund had to be tied up by the administra-
ton TO stife the clamorings that We're
arising, a number of other plans were de-
vised to get funds to spend, as the park
funds would have been spent-simply to
mollify disconnected Democrats until after
the election A transfer of $4,000 was made
to the street repair fund. $4,000 was APP
propriated to the Pogues run fund and

mentioned above is but one of many ex-

ject to a fine of not less than $40 nor more
than $500, and subject to Imprisonment for
not more than five nor less than one year.
The new law is very short, but explicit. 1t
is as follows:

voting for any candidate for any Office, at
any general special or primary election or
convention either for any money or prop

besides which the board is given power Ito
fix and regulate the compensation TO be
paid to. the. several persons so to be en-
ployed by them.
Wednesday morning the Journal said that
there was a movement on foot to revise
the salary ordinance 30 as TO include all
employees of the city, especially the park
when the present salary ordinance was
passed. The purpose of the new ordinance
is to cut off discretionary power in this re-
spect. From the quotation given from the
act 1t would seem that the park employees
are beyond regulation by the Council.
