The police are on the lookout for

lived on the earnings OF his wife and
child, who work an one of the mills in
this vicinity. Last evening, when the
wife and child went to their home in

and as he was OF a vicious disposition,
they said nothing To him. While the
toilers were preparing their scanty sup
per the man went into another room
and from the pocket of his wife's dress
took her weeks earnings as well as
those OF the child, they having been
paid that day. When the woman missed
her money she started after her hus-

LEGISLATeD OUT OF OFFICE.


Louis T.. Cady the clerk of the de-
partment of public buildings. finds him
self, ov ing to a peculiar blunder, leg
islated out of office. The facts are that
at recent meeting of the city council
an ordinance entitled ''of officers of the
city and their duties" was amended,
and that In so doing provision for the
employment of clerk in Mr.. Mans
fields office was not made. The part
of the ordinance eliminated reads az
follows:
Said superintendent OF public build
ings may. by and with the approval OF
the standing committee on city prop
erty. appoint a clerk at a salary OF not
exceeding the rate OF $25 per week,
payable weekly from the appropria-,
tions for public buildings" AS matters
stand City Auditor Chace can not, of
course. allow Mr.. Cady any salary, for
the ordinance, as amended passed both
branches of the city council, was sign
ed by the city clerk and council clerk
and approved by the mayor without the
omission being noticed. 1t is expected
that both branches OF the city council
will meet and amend the ordinance.

provided. but not enough to keep all
