An excited man with a face that had
trouble written across it in large letters
rushed into the city comptroller's office
yesterday afternoon and said TO Clerk Cor
yell: Say, l have been working for the
Great Northern railroad. They owe me
money and won't pay me. l went to see a
lawyer. and he refused 10 take my case.
Then / went to another man, and he said
the best thing could do would be TO coma
up to the city hall and place my case in the
hands Of the state collection bureau. He
said that the comptroller was the local
man OF the bureau.
We'll, we do most everything in this

PETITIONS MIST BE IN NINETY
DAYS BEFORE ELECTION.

poratfons-Man Knew What He

william voig-, who has been leading the
fgh. against continuing civil service in
connection with the city government.
slipped into the city comptroiiers office
shortly before o'clock yesterday after
noon and fled petition, in which the
council Is asked 10 submit TO the voters
a. the next election proposition 10 abol-
ish the service Mr.. voigt stated that the
petition was signed by 20 per cent or the
qualified voters OF the city registered in
the registration list used al the last gem
eral municipal election.
The election will take place March s and
the charter provides that the petitions re-
Iatfng 10 proposed amendments must be-
filed with the council ninety days before
the election. Therefore yesterday was the
last day in which 20 file petitions. There
has beea a question raised by some coun-
ciIrneu whether Mr.. Voigs should not
under the wording OF the charter have
presented his petition to the council at
last Moniay nights meeting. The char
ter says that the petition shall be pre-
scented to the council Ii is a question
whether the council must not be in sessi IN
when the petition is presented. There
may be some dispute over the matter at
the next council meeting. Even X
the contention that the petition has
been filed too late is correct, MIR.
Voigt and his people have one more hope.
The charter allows the council 20 consider
proposed amendments for submission TO
the people sixty days before the election.
Mr. Voigt and his followers can therefore
come into the courIcil. induce one of the
councllmen to father the proposed amend
msnt. and IL majority OF the council says
so. the amendment viii go before the peo-
pie next March. While II Is probably true
that some of the councilmen, possibly a
ma jority, are not in favor Of wiping out
civil service, they would consent to vote
In favor Of giving the people chance to
say what they think about the matter.
For that reason Mr.. Voigt and his friends
are almost certain of having the good peo-
PIE vote on the proposition TO end civil
service in this city.

There was big fight at Monday nights
council meeting. because Councilman Ma
vim. the Populist orator from the First
ward. had not reported on a number OF PEI
titions for franchises that had been turn
ed over to him. He is the chairman Of the
committee on corporations and some time
ago he was given the petitions, with the
supposition that they would receive his
earliest attention. One of them grants to
the Seattle & International permission to
get into the southern part of the city. At
the recent meeting one of the councilmen
wanted 10 know Navins reasons for delay
ing his report. Navin made a long speech,
giving his reasons. He said that the task
given him was very important one. He
had tried. he said, many times to get the
committee together. but the members had
failed to respond. He was instructed 10
report at the next meeting. Yesterday aft
ernoon Navin said that it would be impos-
sible for him 10 make such an early re-
port. He explained that he wanted 10 get
some legal assistance from the corporation
counsel. and that alone would require
time. Navin is an enemy of those seeking
10 eat up the city with railroads. and it Is
likely that if the railroads which want
franchises get what they are after. 1t will
not be with the aid of Navin's vote.

MIR. G. w. Caldwell, former member

needed. They will also put in Fairbanks
scales, where persons can have hay, oats,
corn or anything else weighed if desired.
The editor on his return from Marion
Tuesday came through Plum Creek Gap
and found the road in dreadful condition.
The only way to fix that road is to grade
and macadamize it all the way through
the gap, and it ought to be done. Thomp-
sons Valley is one of the best sections of
the county, and the only route its citizens
have to get out with vehicles is through
Plum Greek Gap. The county owes it as
duty to the good citizens of Thompson's
Valley to give them good road to travel
when coming to the court house.

A Russian Honeymoon.

This charming comedy was rendered at
the Town Hall on Monday last by ladies
and gentlemen of Bramwell, who very
kindly offered their services in behalf of
the rectory fund of the Episcopal church
at this place. Although only three days
notice was given of their coming, full
house greeted the performance, and judg-
ing from the applause, it was much en-
loved by all present. Whilst it may be in
vidious to single out individual performers
where all did their part so well, yet We feel
constrained to mention the excellent work
of Miss Hattie Moore in the role of Mich
cline and Mr.. B. F. Keller as Ivan, her
father. The singing of Mr.. B. F. Keller
between the acts brought down the house,
and he.was compelled to submit to vo-
ciferous encore. After the performance
an impromptu party was given to all the
performers with several invited guests at
the residence OF Mr.. Walton. The follow
ing morning DR., Gildersleeve very kindly
entertained them at his house, and previ-
GUS to their departure on the evening
train pleasant drive was given them by
their Tazewell friends. Their visit was a
source of great pleasure TO those who were
instrumental in getting them to come, and
we hope the result of the visit will materi-
ally augment the fund for which the per-
formance was given.

The Great Wallace Shows.

Friday, September 9rd, The Great Wal
lace Shows will spread their acres Of white
canvas in this city, and if the advance re-
ports are to be believed, the tented insti-
tuition this season is one of the two largest
circu.es in America. The press of every
city in which the shows have exhibited
have been lavished in their praise of the
enterprise, particularly the Pittsburg (Pa.)
Chronicle Telegraph, where the shows
appeared a short time ago. This great
newspaper has among other good things
the following to say:
The title of "The Greatest Show on
Earth" has been claimed by many aggre-
cations which annually visit this vicinity,
but it is certain there are none greater than
The Great Wallace Shows, which appeared
here Monday and Tuesday of this week.
The claim was made by the management
that the combination was the bestthree-ring
circus, museum and menagerie in America,
and the claim is no exaggeration. Another
claim made was that the various features
of the show, as advertised, would be shown,
and it is pleasant task to say that the
claim was literally true. Not feature as
advertised was omitted, and all who at
tended the performances were loud in their
praises of the production and the honest
way in which the management conducts
the gigantic affair. Honesty towards the
public is one of the notices of the owners,
and that this pays was evidenced by the
great crowds which attended the perfor-
mances. 1t is safe to say that on the next
visit of the Great Wallace Shows to this
vicinity there will be even greater appre-
citation of the promises which the manage
ment made and kept.
Tie management also claimed that the
shows are lofty in conception, regal in
and pure in character. This
Tazewell Republican. [volume] (Tazewell, Va.) 1892-1919, 1897-08-26

is all true, and more especially the latter.
There is nothing in any of the many and
varied features of this great show to cause
a blush Oh the cheek of the most modest.
The show is full of many features of ex-
ceptional worth land most of them have no
equal in the world, and the $4,000 chal.
lenge that the world does not hold their
equals has not and will not be taken.
Another thing which shows that the
management is dealing fairly With the
public is the fact that two Pinkerton de-
tectives are with the show, to insure that
there shall be no pocket picking, swindling
and other devices from which those at
tending some circuses suffer.
A pleasing feature of the great shows is
that there is genuine band, made up of
36 musicians, and not an aggregation of
amateur performers, this band renders
music, and not the combination of fdiscords
made by some so.called hands.
Indeed, there is no feature of the great
combined show which is not first-class and
far above the average, and no one need
hesitate about going and taking their wives
and fanatics or sweethearts, and they can
rest assured they will be we'll entertained.
Anyone who has seen The Great Wallace
Shows is sure to go again, because some Of
the features are SO novel and startling that
one could not tire of seeing them.
