water for House Plants.

There is far more danger of giving
house plants too much rather than TOO
little water in winter. During the short
days and long nights, with very little
sunlight on the soil, it is hard to keep
ii at temperature where the plants can
grow vigorously. All the surplus water
added lowers the temperature until it
reaches point where the plants barely
exist without making any growth. If
the soil has much vegetable matter
humic acid will be developed at low
temperature, and this will poison the
plant roots.

WAITING.

Fa1 away. by the Jasper sea,
J'nree forms are walking, side by Side,
And now and then they bend to gaze
over the ocean wide.
And three OF us but walk and pray
Beside dark and boundless sea;
We cannot pierce the radiant glow
That folds the other three.
They watch above the rolling world,
Waiting till one, at Gods command,
Shall cross the space that lies between
This and the further land.
And, obi l long for the years to pass;
And. obi l cry for the time to be
When they who are watching with eager
eyes
Shall bend and beckon me.
So sang / but few weeks ago,
When, through the silence. message
came,
And one of us passed to the distant three,
Hearing with joy his name
Four walk now by the Jasper sea,
Turning earthward their radiant eyes,
Where two of us now, with yearning
hearts,
Look ever to Paradise.

Every beirig was filed with the heat that

And whirred as 1t stirred like the wings OF

Till all other sound in creation was stilledt

Then, a barefooted throng, we marched

Knowing naught of farewells or of eyes

Hearing only the beat of the drum and the

Seeing only the track, dust-inclouded,

POSITIONS ARE UNCHANGED.
Yesterdays Vote in the Globes
Popular Contest.

The railroad people in the G o
voting contest have shown their mettle
throughout the struggle, and had some
of their competitors pressed them
little harder. their running qualities
would probably have been still better
demonstrated. Mr.. Danz, the Great
Northern man. is still ahead among
the men, although his nearest rival,
Mr.. Newman. of Mannheimers, received
more votes than the leader yesterday,
and cut down his lead slightly. To a
man up a tree it appears as if Mr..
Danz would win first honors unless
perchance some of his competitors for
popularity take an amazing brace, and
get into the game for the top notch.
The standing of the women, in their
end of the contest, was unchanged,
yesterday. or practically so, for it is
true that Miss Harriet Finn, the
Schuneman & Evans candidate, did
gain somewhat upon the railroad lead
er for the women's department, Miss
Maud Gould, of the Omaha. Miss
Films friends put in quite a num-
Der of votes for their favorite, and
little more of this would bring her up
closer to the leader. Miss Theresa
Guthunz, of Habighorst's, ard Miss
Birdie Benner, Of the Golden Rule,
continue in third and fourth places.

WANT DIR. BRIMHALL'S PLACE.
Several Doctors Want to Become
Assistant City Physician.

The applications for the position Of
assistant city physician, which will
become vacant Sept. 1, by the retire
ment Of DR.. J. B. Brimhall, are in
creasing daily. Under the charter the
appointment to this place is made by
City Physician Ancker and the incum-
bent can only remain in office for two
years Speaking Of the matter of Sc
lecting a new member Of the staff
yesterday DR.. Ancker said he had
numerous applications. Dr. Brimhall
has held the position for the past two
years. and DR.. Ancker stated he
wished he could arrange it in some
way that the doctor could be retained,
as he had given entire satisfaction and
was q very valuable man. The law,
however, DR.. Ancker said, would prob
ably have to be complied with and a
new assistant selected. AS to who the
new appointee would be, DR.. Ancker
could not say as he had not reached a
decision in the matter. His interpre-
tation of the law was that the intent
of the law makers was that a young
man should be chosen for the position
and the appointment would probably
follow along this line. The salary paid
is 5000 per year and there are some
thing like a score of applicants for the
appointment.

OF THEIR APPOINT ENTS.
He FINDS HE HASN'T RECEIVED
NOTICES ENOUGH TO GO
AROUND,
AND CONCLUDES TO WAIT AWHILE.
Inquiry Yesterday DisclOses That
the Notices Have Eeen in His
Possession Week.

The members of the recently ap-
pointed charter commission have been
wondering why they received no OF
fetal announcement of their appoint
ment A dozen of the gentlemen, seen
Yesterday by a reporter for the
Globe, said they had read the an
nouncement in the papers, hut farther
than this had no knowledge of their
selection.
Last Thursday the judges of the dis
trict court named the fifteen gentle
men who are to constitute the charter
commission. The same day Judge
Willis, who was appointed by the other
judges to draw up the order and file
it with the clerk of the district court,
did So and at the same time left in the
sheriff's Office copies of the order with
instructions to serve them on each of
the freeholders appointed on the COM
mission.
With view of ascertaining where
the hitch was, a reporter for the
Globe looked the matter up yester
day. Judge Willis was not in the city.
Judge Brill stated that he had been
absent from the. city for the past week
and knew nothing about the details
after the judges had signed the order.
He was of the impression that Judge
Willis had attended to the serving of
the copies on the gentlemen appointed.
Being informed that none of the fiji
teen had received official notice of ap-
pointment Judge Brill said he could
not understand why this was so. His
recollection was that the copies for the
commissioners were turned over to the
| sheriff's office by Judge Willis for
| service.
Chief Deputy Robert, of the sheriff
| office, was seen and said that the
| papers had been left in the office by
Judge Willis for service last Thursday,
ing informed that none Of the official
| appointments had as yet reached the
commission Mr.. Robert appeared
! greatly surprised. He called Deputy
| Sheriff Moriarity, to whom the copies
had been handed, and asked him as to
| the service. Deputy Moriarity said he
had noticed there had been fifteen per-
sons appointed by the court, and as
Judge Willis had only handed him
thirteen copies of the order he had de-
| cide1 It best to see the judge about
| the two missing ones before any were
| served He had visited the Office of
Judge Willis repeatedly in the past few
days, but was never able to catch the
| judge in, and for this reason had de-
| layed serving any Of the notifications
| of appointment. 1t is understood that
the matter. will be attended to this
! morning, and before night each of the
gentlemen appointed on the charter
commission will have been officially
notified S7-s -- $50. .ss-=s-7".

CHATTEL MORTGAGE RECORD.
New One Necessary Under Law of
Last Winter.

Last WINTER
Deputy City Clerk McCrea will visit
Minneapolis today to examine the
books used in the office Of the city
clerk Of that city in yiich chaltel
mortgages are recorded. Under g. law
passed by the last legislature it be-
comes the duty of the city clerk to
furnish chattel mortgage records in
dexed as to the mortgage and mort
gagor. Minneapolis, or rather, the city
clerk Of Minneapolis, has introduced
the new system in his office, and City
Clerk Jensen is about to make the
change required by law here It will
cost the city about $500 to make the
change and possibly the city clerk will
be required to employ another deputy
to keep the new records up. The
books now in use here were started in
May, 1886, and the new law which,
under an opinion Of the corporation at
torney, will have to be obeyed or will
render them useless. The new law
also does away with the renewing of
chattel mortgages every year, mort
cages filed since the law went into eff
feet on April %, 1897, being In force
without renewal for a period of six
years.
