Politicians DO Not Appreciate Hls
soIIcitude on That score.
The failure OF Alderman ]. G.. FARRELL to
attend Wednesday nights meeting OF
Council has hiied the practical politicians.
who make their headquarters at the City
Exchange. with a large-sized feeling OF
disgust. The practical politicians claim
that the doctor has thrown them down.
AS previously intimated In the Morn
ing News the Horrigan ordinance, re-
peailng a section OF the tax ordinance
which provides for tho appointment Of
SPECIAL officer by the mayor. with the ap-
prevail of the Finance Committee. for the
performance OF CERTAIN duties IN tho col
lection OF delinquent taxes and licenses.
is evidently aimed at Deputy Marshal
Kelly. who holds ONCE under this section
and enjoys the title by courtesy only. The
passage of the Horrigan ordinance would
leave Mr.. Kelly without a job and would
open the way for the appointm of
deputy marshal who would perhaps not
be MIR. Kelly. In fact. IL Is pretty gem
orally understood that Mr.. j. r.. creamor
IS TO be given the position. As Mr.. Kelly
mas proven himself a valuable man In
his position. Chairman Ttedeman and
other members OF the Finance Commit
tee. were not disposed 10 give their APP
prevail 10 the ordnance and several OF
the members being out OF town. IL was
necessary to look around for support. The
illness OF Aldermen Horrigan and
Schwartz put the ordinance in further
jeopardy. II was expected that Alderman
farrell would vote for the ordinance,
though II seems now there is some room
Tor doubt on this point.
When the Aldermen gathered In the May
ors room "Wednesday night with only
five present, three Of whom had express
ed themselves unfavorahly 70 the ordi-
nance, II was seen that another vote was
needed 20 get even a tie vote In order TO
pass the matter up TO the Mayor, and Al
derman farrell was the only member
available. Aldermen Tiedeman. Doyle and
Graham were known TO be In opposition.
while Aldermen Bacon and Dixon formed
the minority in favor.
A young politician. who arrived az the
City Exchange shortly after II o'clock. re-
ported that he had just left Dr. farrell.
and that the doctor was then on his way
10 the City Exchange. As time passed
and he did not appear. young city en-
ploye was sent post haste In hired bug
~ to facilitate the doctors movements.
The latter was found at his office ana eN-
pressed himself as nothing 10th TO respond
70 the call. only. he remarked, he con-
sidered his duties as a physician 10 have
the frat demand upon his time. and there
we're one or two calls which Il was neces-
sary for him 90 make before going to the
exchange. The young messenger very
kindly placed himself and his buggy at
the disposal OF the physician. In order 70
facilitate his movements which oher was
accepted The doctor said his patient lived
"out Bull street" and the pair logged out
In that direction The young man was sur
prised TO fnd that IL was some distance
out Bull street. and. in
fact the patient was located at
Tenth and MONTGOMERY streets. A short
etay was made there and then the doc
tor pleasantly remarked that he had IN
other patient on Seventh street who must
be seen. Time was rapidly passing ana
when tho doctor remarked, after making
the second call. that he had another "a
tient on Second street and must also be
seen. the young Jehu grew impatient ana
remarked that as he was using hired
buggy with a specific purpose IN view
he could not be expected 10 make tour
OF the entire southside In one night. or
words 10 that effect. 80 he left the doc
tor 20 make his last call alone and drove
90 town as rapidly as he could. arriving 20

The politicians were much disgrun'lsd.
