KISSES AND REVEAGE
A Tombstone Lady in q Novel
 aud Sensational Role.

Tombstone is on the irazzsled edge of . sensstion that might shake things ap even worse than . ssismstic die turbancs and be felt wherever there is . newspaper and . "funnv man" on it's staff to make ssms comment or opportuns observation.
 An inkling of the impending ssnsa- ,ion leaked cut and the PRoSrEsroR reporter scenting an item learned that . certain lady, who is w-ll known but whose name we withhold, called on c local legal luminsry to consult with the desciple of Blackstone rs- gsrdiDg some legal procsss by which . human monster, the object of her wrath, could bs hanged. The afors- said monster had committed hsiuous off-nss and no punishment could be severe epedgh-and all this because ths aforesaid human monster had tn. sudsei,y ts ki.s her sgsinst her will and psrmissioul Sue was not after any da.nsges or balm in the nature of financial soothing syrup to heal her injured feelings, like they do in the ehete east, she was after blood and wanted to see this particular i1divid- usl sent to kingdom come.
 Und r ordinary circum |tsnses euch an overt act by some stranger who could not resist the temptation U kiss . pretty girl, would be good causs for some chivalrous gentleman or big brother of the girl, to roll the kisssr in the mud, but in this instAnc, the circumstances arc different anu nake es the matter all the more amusing.
 It is not known whether the lady will insis, on bringing the offender to just e butt. does seem hard that an unfortunate man stahds . chance of being prosecuted for stealing . kiss when tine kltsee bss lots Of then in stock and wssses half the crop on l babies. It would be wore still if the jay would be convicted sEd it would develop that he cid net plant the kist where it would do the most good and instead lost it sm"ng her bsuga. On the other hand fit were proven tha, the kisssr had b.en eating limburger cheese and delivered the goods iu . bun glinR manner, leaving . streak of | odor that could be cut with . knife . jury would be iustifed i1 hanging tho wretch on the spot.
 If this case goes on the cour docket it will stir up Tembstou' society from center to ci-cumfernc' and the old town will be dreadfully shocked, bet we venture to bet tha there would be standicg room eniy when the case would come to trial
 Until further publicity is given b. actual preference of cnsrges, the PROS

Council COMMITTEES Meets and Fixes the
Amount.
SCHOOLS FAIL TO GET THE FIVE MILLS
Some Pruning is Done, hut Most of
the city Departments Get what
They Ask For in Their
Estimates,
$99I,36O69

Totals ....u...gS.6 99i,36o69
This is the way the municipal levy for
1899 will look II the city council carries out
the plan that was adopted at long informal
session in the committee room Monday.
1t represents the limit to which the MEN,
bers of that body were able to apply the
pruning knife after a session that lasted for
over four hours and judging by the ex-
pressons made at the time 1t will be sup
ported by at least seven members Mercer
and Stuht declared with much vigor that
they will not vote for any levy that in-
wolves giving the Board OF Education more
than 2 mills, but otherwise the schedule
given above was satisfactory to all MEM
bers.
The first schedule that was concocted
made total levy of SO mills. This was
after the appropriations for the various
funds had been cut down TO what was de-
clared to be the least that would properly
run the business of the city. Then the
same ground was covered again and the
knife was applied to every fund except the
general fund and the final result was ad-
mitted to be the lowest total that was feas-
ible with the exception of the difference Of
opinion relative to the levy for school pur-
poses. The figure that was finally adopted
was endorsed by City Attorney Connell,
who urged that il a reasonable levy is made
for school purposes the council will be
backed by public sentiment and the board
will hesitate to go into court to compel the
council to levy the additional s50,OO0 asked.
Otherwise there is no question, in his opin-
ion, but that the board will eventually de-
mand and secure its full estimate, which
represents a levy of over 5 mills.
1t is noticeable that good deal OF the
pruning was done in the lepa artmentS which
are under the control of the city engineer.
1t was urged by STUNT Mercer and Mount
that the appropriations for these depart
ments should be cut to the lowest point and
| that If it should be necessary additional ap-
preparations might be made Out of the gen.
eral fund. In this way the council could
control the expenditure.

CAN the oldest inhabitant remem-
ber the year when there was good
wages, high prices and good times un-
der Democratic administration or
when there was Republican admins
tration that did not contribute to the
welfare of ell the people, from labor
ing men up and down? The Republi-
can party has ever been, and ever will
be, distinctly a good times party.
Politics don't make good times, but
the Republican party has been fortu-
nate in the possession of leaders who
had the wisdom and courage to adopt
such measures in legislation as would
tend to the development of the coun-
try's resources, and ''assist nature. -
This is about all tina: any party can do
toward affecting material interests,
that and the fact that business men be-
lieve in and have confidence in the Re-
publican party accounts for the uni
form prosperity of the country under
Republican auspices and the reverse
under Democratic auspices.
