ton of Mr. StahI when his name is pre-
sented to the council unless some of the
counciImen change their minds.
When his name was first mentioned in
connection with the Office all of the
councilmen, excepting four, were great
" displeased and said they would object
to the appointment, giving as their rea-
sons that Mr.. Stahl was not a resident
of the city. They thought a man could
be chosen without going outside of the
city limits. One or two members have
since changed and will vote to confirm
any man the mayor thinks fit to ap-
point, while others are still unchanged
in their views.
Councilman Weber said this, morning
that he was far from pleased with the
appointment. Il think there are men
who have been residents of the city for
some time who are just as we'll if not
better qualified for the position than Mr.
Stahl. We have men in Topeka who are
good enough to sit in congress, to be
governor of the state, and, on a PINCH
we could furnish a. good man for presi-
city to secure a man for the head of the
police department."
Councilman Clancy said: ct do not
care to say anything about the matter
When the question of the appointment
first came up he was inclined to oppose
the appointment of Mr. Stahl ON the
gorunds of non citizenship.
Councilman Hughes, who was also op-
his mind and will vote to confirm the
appointment. He said: Il was opposed
to the choice of the mayor but have re-
considered the matter. I will vote to
confirm any appointment he may make
in the police department. It has been a
hard proposition to secure a good man
who will accept the place and 1 think
the council should stand by the mayor.
It is true that he has not consulted the
council in the matter and I believe IL
would have been better if he had done
so, but the appointment is his and if
there is any credit to come from it the
mayor will receive it; if there Is any
blame we will stand it. will vote to
confirm Mr.. Stahl but I will explain nv

Councilman Morgan said: sT do not
thlnk 1t right to go out of the town for
a chief of police and I viii oppose the
appointment 1t seems to me that there
are plenty of good men in the city who
can I'LL the office as acceptably as Mr.
Stahl- If there is not it is time the civ
went out OF business. It looks bad and
gives a pad impression to other cities
councilman Elliott said: Il am in ia
vor of any man the mayor chooses to
appoint and he has my unqualified sup
port IN any step he may take in the
matter
Mr. Warner said: ssT have nothing TO
say concerning the appointment
Several other members of the council

matter declined to say what they will

Mayor Drew is of the opinion that the

EXTRA SESSION.
Gov. Pingree Will Call Michigan

Detroit Mich. Oct. 5.-Governor Pin

to permit the taxing of railroads and
other corporations on the value of their
property instead of specifically upon
their earnings as at present. The Atlxin-

pansion and Imperialism, Mr.. Bryan
said:
I'VE expand when we take in land for
settlement to be built up into states; we
expand when we take in people who
want to come in and whom we want.
We believe that expansion is like mar
riage; both sides ought to agree to it.
We do not believe in expansion carried
on with an army; we do not believe in
bringing people in by force and then de-
nying them the right of full citizenship.
You will hear Republicans say that the
war with the Filpinos is similar to the
civil war. There Is. this difference: that
when the south was held in the union
they were to be citizens and not subjects
when the war was over. You want to
bring the FilipinoS in and make them
subjects and not citizens We fought
then for the adoption of a constitutional
amendment that provided that no man
could own a slave and yet before the
Philippine war is ended we have the
Zulu treaty which recognizes slavery

audience there covered an immense
vacant plat of ground near the railroad
Mr.. Bryan gave practically all of the
80 minutes allotted to this place to the
trust question, declaring that no en-

1t is quite easy for a girl to slip on

herself In one of the hunks below

out to sea.
A case happened little while ago,
the girl coming to meet her fiance
here. AS both We're poor, the former
resorted to this perilous expedient to
accomplish the desired end.
One would think that such a heroic
endeavor would deserve better re-
ception; but, upon arriving, having
been worked very hard on shipboard
for passage, the maiden was so
changed by the ordeal of love that
when her betrothed met her he re-
fused to marry her.
A few days later. while being taken
back to the ship for deportation. she
leaped into the bay. Rescued gallant

that Capt. Barclay was in his rooms.
Should she call him down?
But, to her still greater wonderment.
Helen pushed past her. saying that she
would be her own messenger.
But the amaze depicted upon her
face was increased ten-fold on that Of
Harvey Barclay, as his unexpected
visitor announced herself.
"Helen." he cried, springing from
his chair. What has happened? Tell
me quickly"
A CHASTITY fear was in his eyes. Had
she confessed to her husband in that
terrible scene which doubtless had
been enacted between them?-and had
he thrust her from his home, and had
she fled to him? Just when his hopes
We're brightest, were they to be oser-
thrown?
''Tell you quickly" she retorted
"Why did you not stay 10 hear?"

cleared as he listened. She had not
faltered in any portion of their plot, in
any hideous detail of her perjury.

vey! have not sinned for you for
this-not for this"
There was real suffering in her tone.
Already she was reaping her punish
ment in the horrible doubt which tor
tured her In the knowledge she pos
sessed, that this man would ruthlessly
sacrifice her should the need arise.
She knew him to be weak, false. un-
scrupulous; but she loved him with a
depth and passion which grew as he
dragged her with him to deeper depths

fy her husband. when the door slowly
opened and admitted him into her
presence whom she had so grossly
wronged.
That something new-something be-
yond the terrible scene of the morning
had happened. one glance into his
face sufflced to tell her.
For the first time in her life she
feared him. One other man. in all the
past. had reused in her the element OF
fear, had wakened the coward in her
which lay dormant beneath her brava-
do OF courage; but he had made her
flesh shrink and quail.
This man seemed to- make her soul
recoil in terror. She paused In her
walk.
He closed and locked and barred the
