NO CHANGE AS YET.
Dunning Is StiiI filling the Office OF
street Commissioner .. O'Boyle
Called to Consult with Him.

BY reason Of select councils failure
on Thursday night to confirm Mayor
Bailey's nomination of p. j. O'Boyle
to be street commissioner the Office
will continue to be filed by A. b. Dun
ming until his successor is formally
appointed.
The impression prevailed yesterday
that inasmuch as street Commissioner
Dunning's resignation was rendered to
take effect July /, he would discontinue
his duties in office yesterday in favor OF
MIR O'Boyle. 1t was further thought
that Mr.. OBoyle would be acting street
commissioner until he was confirmed
when he would formally assume office
or until select council had voted against
confirmation in which event he would
he obliged to retire in favor of some
other nominee. Both of these views
are wrong according to yesterdays
happenings.
Street Commissioner Dunning con-.
tinuei in Office according to a previous
understanding with Mayor Bailey in
the event Of no confirmation of the
latter's nominee. Mr.. Dunning was at
the city hall at his usual hour, 7.30
o'clock, giving orders to his foremen
and arranging the work of the depart
ment for the day.
Neither Mr. O'Bovle. nor anyone else,
according to Mr. Dunning's view can
assume the position until he has fur
nished the prescribed bond and been
sworn in. Mr.. OBoyle called at Street
Commissioner Dunning's office in the
city hall with Assistant Street Com
missioner Z. A. Fitzsmmons early in
the day. evidently for the purpose of
comforting with Mr.. Dunning. He
was not in. Mr.. OBoyle left and was
not seen again about the building dur
| ing the day.

Neill O'Donnell, who was run over
and killed by trolley car on Capouse
avenue. Green Ridge, Monday night,
was concluded last evening before Cor
oner Longstreet in the arbitration
room at the court house. There was
nothing in the testimony of a number
of witnesses to change the belief that
O'Donnell was lying on the rails when
struck and verdict to that effect was
rendered.
Among the witnesses examined were
Motorman A. Gelb, Conductor Arthur
Williams and Passengers c. S. Jacobs

jurors could tell who the man was.

IS years old, heavily built, a little
above the medium height, and with a
heavy dark mustache.
Mr.. Jones proceeded to find out who
it was. His observation resulted in
noticing that Henry w. Coyle, the
Twelfth ward merchant and politician,
seemed to be unusually active in form
ing a companionship with some Jurors
and he called Mr.. Coyle to one side
and had plain talk with him. Mr.
Covle and II. NJ. Williams were to-
gethcr when Mr.. Jones first noticed
them. Mr.. Williams is the husband of
the woman who was tried and acquitted

One of the means set forth by an
employe of Jonas Longs Sons by
which it was known that some ribbon
had been stolen was that it was not
sold in the measure the piece that
was found in the possession of one of
the accused. The stenographer of
Vosburg & Dawson, attorneys for the

store and came back with ribbon of
the same texture and cut the same
length. She was put on the stand and

A man who neglects his health is sailing
his craft Of life in dangerous seas. He
cannot too soon awaken to the fact that he
IS i111periling his most precious endow-
1nert. All the wealth in the world, all the
power in the world, all the pleasure in the
world, all the love and poetry and music
and nobility and beauty are but dust in the
mouth of the MAN who has lost his health.
Keeping healthy means looking after the
disorders that 11inety-1line men in a hun
dred neglect. You cannot get the average
everyday man to believe that indigestion
or b1l1ousneSs, or CostivenesS or headache
or loss of sleep or appetite, or shakiness in
the morning and dullness through the day
amount to much anyway. He will pooh
pooh at you until some morning he
wakes up and finds himself sick abed
Then he will send for doctor and find out
to his surprise that all these disorders have
been but the danger signals of big 1naladv
that has robbed him of his health, possibly
forever. It may be consumption or nerv-
Gus prostration or malaria or rheumatism
or some blood or skin disease. It matters
not, they all have their inception in the
same neglected disorders. Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery makes the ap-
petite keen, the digestion perfect, the liver
active, the blood pure, the nerves steady

cause there were less than ten stations
in them
August was our dryest month, Un-
ion City having only 0.54 inch. 2159
stations had more. Every State and
Territory had one or more of these,
nine having from one to nine, namely,
California, Delaware, District of Co.
lumbia, Idaho, Indian Territory, Mon
tana, Rhode Island. Utah and Wyom-
ing. The other forty-one had from
ten to hundred and twenty-seven
each, Ohio having the latter number.
September showed change, Union
City having SIG inches, and only 254
other stations having more. In the
east it was called month of drouth.
Only twelve of the States bad ten or
more each of these stations, namely,
Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Lou
isiana, Minnesota, Nebraska, New
York, Pennsylvania, South Carolina,
Texas and Wisconsin. Twenty more
had from one to nine stations each,
and eighteen none.
October gave Union City an unus-

73O stations had more. Ten States
had none of these, namely, Connecti-
TIlin0ic Moi,,o ol~
Missouri, New Hampshire, Rhode Is
land, Vermont, West Virginia and
Wyoming. Twenty had from one to
nine stations each, and twenty more
ten or more each, Nebraska having the
most, 1l2 stations. California, Flori-

North Carolina and Virginia, had 81

inches, and there were only two, both
in Oregon, that had more.
True the rainfall varies in different
years, but the above account shows
that from April 1 to September l, we
receive less than more than half the
stations in the United States. In the
spring we receive enough to keep our
crops growing, in the summer not
enough to injure the harvests. July
and August gave about three-fourths
of the whole number of stations more
than we have. 1t is during the other
months, when it can do MS the least
injury, that we get our great amount.
Surely grumbling about rain ought to
be killed by these figures. M. E.

How She Positively Knew That He Loved

And 1T came to pass, says the BalTi-
more News, that the meek-eyed youth
looked upon the glorious girl while her
checks were red and he spake unto her,
saying: "Fairest creature upon earth,
wilt thou be my beauteous bride?'
And the glorious girl made swift an
swer, saying: Not, o Reginald! not
until YOU have given me positive proof
that you love me-
And the face of the glorious girl was
even as the wild lily Of the untrodden
forest for coyness, but her voice was
like unto the tax collectors for frrness.
And the meek-eyed youth loo..cd him
far away into the henceforth, for Z Great
fear was with him. and in his ' = Il
woe he was fain to end it all.
And it came to pass that in that GaI
est moment a great light dawned unO7
him and he spalle unto the gle y
girl, saying: "Lest, peradvcnture. rg
misunderztandst me. again do l say. I
my beauteous bride. AS for proof tha
love thee, fair one let me draw your at
tention to the fact that Christmas is
scarce two weeks shence-dost want more
proof?"
And straightway the glorious girl
nestled close to his more OF less manly
breast, and even as she nestled, she
spake, saying: "Thou art indeed brave.
Most men would have waited till after
Christmas; but you-ouch. You
mustn't muss my hair. dear."
