THE JOKE
On Dr.. Zimmerman Last Night
Was Going t. Charter a Loco
motive for Indi anapolis.

There was a very good Joke, OF
which Mayor-elect Zimmerman was
the victim, last night. 1t seems that
the doctor wanted to know where he
was "at" officially in case he should be
elected to the Office ne was seeking, so
last evening he went to his attorneys,
jackson & Starr, and asked them
whether, under the law forbidding the
holding of two offices at the same
time, he would be compelled to relin-
quish his Office OF coroner at the time
of his election as mayor. or at the time
when he was to assume the duties of
his new Office. The attorneys told him
they would look the matter up aud that
if he would call again in half an hour
they would inform him as to the legal
phase of the question. The doc
tor then went around attending
to his duties, and incidentally he heard
the election news that pleased him
very much, so that he neglected to be
punctual in fulfilling the appointment
he Lad made with his attorneys. The
latter then determined to have some
| fun at the Doctors expense, and ac-
Icordingly Mr.. jackson, with a face as
long as neglected laundry bill. went
over to Bert EngleEert's wigwam, and
told the doctor he was wanted at their
.ffce on very important business. i'm
mediately. The mayor-elect hastily
accompanied the attorney. and when
they reached the Office, they found Mr.
Starr and John +. Robbins awaiting
them. The attorneys al looked ex-
Itremely serious. and they at once In
formed the doctor that they had looked
up the Law in the matter and that his
resignation as coroner would have to
be In the hands of the governor by
midnight. He said:
| well, shall mail it to him.
Mail it to him. There's no mail
train, and if there were, the mail
would not be delivered to the governor
in time to save you.'
Well, I'll go over on the late train
and take it to him IN person.
You can't even do that. The late
train has gone"
Mr.. jackson gently and seriously
suggested that the new mayor drive
over to the governors house ia time to
deliver the midnight message.
