A noLD-uP PROPOSITION.

At the meeting Of the city Council
held last evening, there was put
through, in the shupe of an ordinance
regular stand-and-deliver proposition
Mayor Clark being the intended VIC
tim. 1t was the ordinance reducing the
salary Of the chief of police to the
3 nominal amount OF s. per month.
Several members who voted In the
affirmative declared that they did so
in order to avoid paying a salary to u
man who had not been actually In the
service of the city. referring to the con-
testant for the office whose claims to it
viii be adjudlcated by the State SUI
preme Court within a few days. But
II Is incredible that any member OF the
Council can be either verdant or lg-
norant enough to suppose that the ac-
ton taken last evening can have the
slightest effect upon the compensation
Of that contestant, provided he shall
be successful In the courts. During the
period for which he holds the office his
compensation can be neither increased
nor diminished; the ordnance there
fore Is aimed at n future appointment.
Such subterfuge is proof of purpose
sought to he concealed.
That purpose was sufficiently dis
closed by Il remark-evidently UNI
guarded--made by n member OF the
caucus, to the effect that he would vote
to restore the salary to the present fig
ure when a man acceptable to the
Council should be appointed by the
Mayor as chief OF police. To fix the
salary attached to tine office at the fig
ure named In the ordinance is to des-
troy the office, for no man win act In 1t;
1t therefore becomes clear that the pur-
pose Of the machine Is to destroy that
which 1t cannot control.
So the pay of chief of police IL to be
sixty dollars a year until the Mayor
appoints man acceptable TO the
Council" when 1t will be made as
now, fifteen hundred dollars year.
How about the FIRE department. whose
head named by the Mayor, has been
hung up by the Council? Win II also
be destroyed? And the waterworks and
city engineers department. what
about them? Are they to be obllterated
until filled by appolntees acceptable
to the Councll?" 1t Is easy to guess
what this phrase means: 1t signifies the
enemies of the Mayor. In their struggle
for power the partisans are going to
amazing lengths; they will the sooner
reach the end of their course.

a HUMAN GRAVEL PIT.

DIR. w. T. Corlett of Cleveland, Ohio,
Is describeds by the Plaindealer as a
well known specialist, and the connect
lng of his name, and the names of two
other responsible gentlemen. with n
story told by the indianapolis Sentinel,
gives to the tale an air of FEASIBILITY.
though 1t is so extraordinary as to chal-
lenge credulity. even with these refer
ences. 1t is as follows:
while DIR. w. Il. .Corlett of Cleveland
was here, Secretary Hurry of the state
board of health and eX-City Sanitaiian
Ferguson called on him to show him
some of the stones which exude from
the skin of citizen of Rush county.
whose name the doctors had forgotten.
The stones. II such they might be
called, were obtained from DIR. Spurrier
OF Rushville. who has the case in
charge. They were carried around by
Dr. Hurry in small tin box in which
they ratified about like grains of
wheat, which they resemble somewhat,
only they were larger. The patient
sheds them In such quantities that Or.
Hurry said that he could get peck of
them, he believed, in short time. The
patient feels the stones underneath
his skin and n little rubbing of his
hand brings them out. They are firm
and resemble gravel. DIR. Corlett was
very much interested in the case. He
said that he had known of similar
cases, but had never seen any stone1
shed from the skin that anywhere APP
preached those shown him In size. He
thought that thorough examination
of the patient and the result embodied
in a report to n medical journal would
make mighty interesting reading.
DIR. Hurry and some more local
physicians are trying their best to have
this human phenomenon brought to In
dianapolls, and have offered to pay his
car fare and expenses and some extra
Inducements II he will come. They hope
to make thorough scientific examina-
tion and are satisfied that their finding
will astonish the scientific and medical
world. The man who sheds stones is
sixty-seven years old. He is reported
by DIR. Spurrier to he as white as the
driven snow In complexion and Is ema-
ciated. The doctors believe that he has
tuberculosis. The stones are not acct
dental outcroppings now and then but
he sheds them continuously and dn
large quantities. DIR. Hurry had in his
possession yesterday enough of the
stones to load a double barreled shot
gun II they had been buckshot The
doctor has analysed the stones and
finds that they contain iron, lime, mag
neslum and several other mineral
products"

THANKING MORMON ELDERS.

The Pcndleton Reformor. published at
Butler, Kentucky, has a correspondent
in the neighboring town OF Knoxville,
named Maude Ashcroft. Recently
there have been number of meetings
held by Mormon Elders In the latter
place. and the Reformers correspond
Ont writes of them as follows:
1.-THE series OF meetings that has been
conducted at Knoxville Christian
church by Elders Woodruff and Mckay
OF Utah came TO n close SUNDAY night
While they are of the Latter-day
Saints or go-calicd Mormons, they GER
tainly understand the Scriptures from
Genesis to Revelations. Never since
this little village was settled have the
Scriptures been 80 fully explained or
preached In this people ms they have
been by these Mormon gentlemen.
While we do not believe in the so-called
Mormon creed, we believe that we
have gained "a great deal of Information
from them. az well as everyone else who
sat under the sound of their voices.
We thank them for their good singing
and their learned explanations OF the
Scriptures"
1t seems strange that community
in which Mormon Elders appear and
preach their doctrines should be 80
radically divided concerning them and
their teachings as is usually the case.
Almost always, two classes rise up
among the people; one is delighted
with the preaching, and filled with ad-
miration of the manner In which the
Scriptures are expounded, while they
feel charmed with the singing of Nor
mon hymns. The other class shows
marked hostility to the Elders and
their teachings.
This singular and radical division of
sentiment can be at least partly ex-
planned by the fact that the former
class consists mainly of people who
have heard for themselves, while the
latter is comprised almost entirely OF
persons that depend upon popular
rumor. originating in prejudiced
sources, for the information upon the
strength of which they assume to pass
Judgment. The appreciation of the
preaching of Mormon missionaries
which Is being shown in vari-
Gus parts of the United States,
and of which the expressions
of the Knoxville correspondent are an
example, is a most gratifying sign of
the times
