QUIGLEY HAS $3.50,


superintendent Quigley yesterday took
charge of the $3.50 which was given to Capt.
Kinney by Cornelius Jackson to be divided
among the detectives until the question of
their right to accept it is acted upon by
the Board of Safety. The agreement was
that jackson should have one-half of the
reward, and after receiving IL he rendered
one-half to Captain Kinney for division.
The question arose upon a discussion of
the provisions of the pension law, which
provide that ''all moneys. fees and rewards
of every nature and description which may
be paid or given to the police force of such
city or any member thereof shall be turned
into the police pension fund" The matter
will be taken up by the board at its first
meeting.

A DOGS FIND.
The Animal Digs Up n Valuable Gold
Watch.

Charles Dunfee. a saloon keeper at 21
North Delaware street. yesterday took TO
the police station a solid gold lady's
watch which he had during the afternoon
before watched a dog dig from under the
fence in the rear Of the saloon. The watch
is an old Swiss model. The case is beau
tifully engraved and on the inside of the
cover is engraved the following: Mora
Farley, Chebanse. ILL.," The police have
no record of the watch and the detectives
were unable in digging further to find any
trace of other valuables. Hence, by right
of discovery, the watch belongs TO the
dog.

WHY HE SUPPORTS GOODWIN.

Ballard, May 4. 1900.
To the Editor: In yesterdays issue of
your paper, myself. with others. is
charged by Mr.. Church with supporting
J. w. Goodwin for national committee
man of the Democratic party of this
state, because. as Mr.. Church puts II.
Mr.. Goodwin has promised the single-
takers to support Tom L. Johnson, a
single-taxer and well-known Demo-
crat, for chairman OF the Kansas City
convention. in case he Is elected, and
also for chairman of the national COM
mittee." Permit me, In my own behalf
to inform Mr.. Hart that I do not care
a straw who Mr.. Goodwin supports, aside
from William Jennings Bryan for presi-
dent and James Hamilton Lewis for
vice-president. My support OF Mr. Cod
win is not as single-taxer. but as a
Democrat who feels that Mr. Goodwin is
a man who is credit to his party, and
in whose hands the good and welfare
of the Democratic party may safely be
intrusted. DID l feel likewise toward
Mr.. Hart i would as readily support him.

TO deny the people OF Alaska any voice
