to be quite finished pupils. Those who took
part were: George h. Lunn. Edith Spencer,

Edna Martin and Mr.. McCulley. Several of

for the repairs to the pavement Of Twenty
fourth street This street, they say, has
been greatly improved and values increased
by the laying OF the pavement and for this
reason the owners OF property abutting
should be willing to have the cost of the re-
pairs assessed up against them. Another
reason given is that quite portion OF the
Twenty fourth street residents will not be
compelled to pay any portion OF the original
cost of the pavement, as according to the
courts the tax as levied was Illegal In case
the supreme court sustains the opinion OF
the district court in this matter the city
at large will be saddled with a debt. which
by rights, it is asserted should be paid by
the property owners. No one denies that the
street needs repairs, but there promises to
be quite a squabbre about the manner in
which the work shall be paid for.

Inc players or THIS Game
with a King, the prize of

kingdom, are Count Sagan,
agruf, INSCRIPTIONS, reck-
less giant, the commander
Of the guards of Maasau.
He plays as a tool in the
hands of Selpdorf, Chan
cellor to the King, the" man
of the hour" And behind
these two, old Major Coun-
sellor, representing Eng.
land, the shrewdest diplo.
mat Of Europe, and Baron
Won Elmer of Germany,
play the intricate keys of
diplomacy. The King of
Maasau, who is weak, worn
out and suspicious, is a
mere puppet in the hands
of t h e Sc master players.
The pawns of the game are
John Rallywood, the Mod.
ern Mercenary, a straight
back, fearless young Eng.
lishman who fights a duel
as cheerfully as he makes
love to a nobleman's daugh-
ter; Valeria, the heroine,
and the Countess Sagan,
who loves the hero and ap.
pears as Valeria's bitter
rival. All this takes place
in the independent state of
Maasau, which is so small
that it is hardly noticeable
even on the largest sized
map OF Europe.

The Consolidated was the sole issue In
the campaign IN which ne was elected
along with Brown and Adair, and he was
most bitter in his denunciation of Mr..
Hurt and his policies. In response to this
Mr.. Hurt came out in a card showing
that Walker had offered to be his ally, If
he would give him his support, which was
refused. Everybody was surprised at
Walkers election. oddly enough final re-
suits showed that he would be the bal
ance of power on the board in which the
Consolidated has big interests on account
of pending claims for franchises. There
fore, when Walker went over to the Con-
solidated camp this afternoon there was
long, loud shrek from the other side.
Such a hubbub has not been created in
county affairs for a long while,
Mr.. Hurt has strange luck in politics.
After being apparently wiped off the earth
in the election Of county commissioners
in the spring primary, he then ran for the
City Council IN propria persona. The re-
suit was an overwhelming defeat at the
hands of a tyro in local affairs But
strange to say, it now turns out that his
friends and political allies not only control
the county board, but there is a majority
Of Hurt men in the City Council itself.
