The Pirates In Trouble.

Pittsburg, Pa, Dec. 26.-The first
flash of a long-smoldering trouble be-
tween the officials of Allegheny and the
Pittsburg Baseball club was seen Sat
made a move to tax the club for each
and every game played at Exposition
park. John II. Trimble, a member OF
the council, introduced a measure call
ing for an assessment of $25 on each
game of professional bali played in
Allegheny. This will probably precipi-
tate war if carried through. The or
dinance is now in the hands of the
finance committee. Trouble has been
long threatened. It is limited that the
counciImen of Allegheny have too
many friends for whom they seek an
nual passes to the game.

Mr.. Payne says. that the feeling in the

Mr.. Mckinley by exclamation and that
Mr.. Root Is the choice of the Washing

HERO OF BAG BAG.
William Trembly a Candidate For
City Clerk In Kansas City. Ks.

Kansas City, Kan, Dec. 26.-The con-
test for city clerk, which will be decided
at the election to be held in April,
promises to be a spirited one. The cleo
ton next spring is an off year election,
but owing to the death of George E.
Yeager directly after his election last
spring for city clerk, some one must
be elected this year to fill the unexpired
term. There will be numerous candi-
dates for the place. The last entry is
William TrembIy, one of the boys who
swan the Bag-Bag river in the Philip
pines. He is a graduate of the local
high school and the only son of a wild
owed mother. However, he says he
proposes to make the race for city clerk
as just plain viii Trembly, and not as
a hero. He thinks he is capable of fill
ing the Office efficiently and believes
that he has as much right to it as any
of his opponents.
Percy Barshfeld and Pete Nugent,
who have been mentioned as candidates
for city clerk, have declined to make
the race, leaving the contest between
Trembly, J. r. Whisner, E. R. Ireland
and Thomas Donohue. 1t is possible
that others will enter the contest.
