When City Clerk Kramer had finished
reading the report of Treasurer Herman
at the council meeting last night,
Moyar Ross asked if the report showed
any money received from the police COM
mission. OF course it didn't and Coun-
Gilman Schen asked to know when the
commission had turned in any money.
Long silence. Nobody knew. DR.. Minnick
wanted to know what the commission was
doing with the money. Long silence, at
ter echo answered, What?
Dr. Minnick said: II am going TO look
up the law on this police commission
matter and see what about it. L think
we are entitled to report once in a
while and TO know what disposition is
made of that money" 1t was suggested
that the finance committee inquire into
the matter but j. Giles Smith said,
"How?''
The subject will come up at the next
meeting. Thomas Forrest. who runs the
Wichita desiccating works was awarded
the contract for removing dead animals
from the city at 81 each for horses cattle

Dr. Minnick said there was nothing to
report on the question of lighting but
stated that the city would have ten thou

Courtesy is the Difference which every
gentleman considers he owes to every
woman except his wife.

cheapest place to get thing at and the
most expensive way to get along with

A woman's opinions on politics are
Just about as pronounced and reliable
as her opinion on the women her hus-
band knows that she doesn't.
Calm probably killed Abel because he
smoked cupeb cigarettes.
Every married man knows a lot
about women that he dares to tell to
any woman but bis wife,

A bill is pending In the Ohio ieg!sla-
ture reducing railroad fare in the state
TO fiat rate of two cents per mile, and
the support OF many people Is being
given TO the measure, as was naturally
expected, considering the fact that any
movement which looks to cheaper rates
for travel to the public Is always popu-
lar. But there are two sides TO this
question. as there are to all other CUES
lions Of this nature. 1t Is a serious
question as to whether or not the bill Is
a wise one under the present cireum-
stances--whether the gaining OF cheaper
; travel would not in the end be a bad
thing for the travelling public, as well
as for the railroads. and work hard

but to every traveller In the territory Of

simply the commercial travellers and
others who avail themselves OF the al
