City politics are little slow, but
nevertheless there is an undercurrent 10
which many people are interested. 1t is
a sad thing to say, but jealOusies are
cropping out fast among the different
elements. There are the street grade
improvers and those who oppose; the
gamblers and the anti-gamblers; the sa
lOOnsts and the ants. Every last one
Of them are working underground. No
one has as yet put up ticket, but in
the Third ward there is a hankering
after W. W. Wheeler to succeed Mr.. Bar
roll. There is also hankering against
him.
The center of interest in election OF
council seems to be as to who, when the
councilmen are elected, they will choose
for city marshal. Everything else seems
to be thrown to the winds. There are,
of course, people who look to other
workings OF the city, but they have not
yet become noticeably excited.
Canutt Won't Be Marshal.
Among other wild guesses is one that
Joe Canutt, former sheriff, is intriguing
for the town marshalship. The Gazette
has it first-hand from Mr.. Canutt that
he seeks no such honor and would not
accept Mr.. Weinberg's job under any
consideration. Mr.. Canutt is not a
candidate for marshal. This can be
positively said. He is one among the
many not looking for that Office.
In the First ward S. D. Lommasson
and Henry COPY have so far been
named. Harry Wheelhouse is put for
ward by his friends for councilman from
the Third
In the Second there is as yet more or
less chaotic condition, the only avowed
candidate being Mr.. Dumdi to succeed
himself.

The river and harbors bill has passed
the house of representatives despite
the opposition that 1t was to have re-
ceived at the hands of Senator Hanna
and his ip-subsidy coterie. Senator
Hanna discovered that it was not wise
to block the river and harbor bill,
which carries o sum for legitimate ex-
penditures, in preserving and adding
to harbors on rivers and lakes. One of
the main provisions of the bill is the
maintenance Of the water level of Lake
Erie. There will be no occasion for sub
sides, SO far as Senator Hanna is con-
cerned, unless he has a deep water way
from the lakes. 1t is essential to raise
the level somewhat, for the intention is
to run ocean-golng vessels on the lakes,
and make Cleveland and cities of her
kind, ocean ports. Then the ship-sub-
sidy deal will be put forward for all
1T is worth, for Mr.. Hannas shipping
interests are enormous. In the bill
passed Wednesday Chairman Burton
got about all he asked for.

ROOSEVELT'S ESCAPE.
Grizzly Bear Nearly Made Mince.meat
of the Vice President Elect.

Meeker, Col, Jan. 16.-TheOdore Roose-
velt, according to a gentleman who ar
lived from the Keystone ranch, had
narrow escape from a wounded griz-
Ely bear.
The hunters early in the morning
2rossed the trail of the bear. They fol-
owed 1t through the snow until II en-
cred a box canyon. They then dis
mounted and continued the chase on
loot. After a tramp Of three or four
niles they saw the bear numbering
along ahead of them leisurely. When
within 100 yards they opened fire. The
only effect of the fusillade was to make
the animal move faster.
Colonel Roosevelt. in spite of warn
ings, rushed ahead. shooting as fast
as he could work the lever of his rifle.
Finally the bear was stopped by a cliff,
and, seeing no chance to escape, turned
and charged down the canyon. Mr..
Roosevelt, who was well In the lead,
stood his ground until the magazine OF
his rife was empty and then turned
and ran. The path through the snow
was not well broken. however. and bruin
was the swifter.
The others, with replenished maga-
zines. spread out and opened fire. Mr..
Roosevelt dropped his rifle and made
an extra spurt. and. breathless and ex-
hausted. stumbled over a rock and fell
into the snow. The grizzly dropped life
less not 15 feet behind him.

A reconsideration of the Canal Full
ton bridge business is noted, and the
assault on the treasury has not been
committed. Contractor Watson, who
resides in Carroll county and not in
another state, where diverse citizenship
might make his case come within the
jurisdiction of the United States court,
the holdings of which court would then
apply was not on hand at the explra-
tion of the time limit to receive his
money. This is the job that was started
for $500 and ended at about SIS, 900.
The prosecutor told the auditor to pay
the money after January 10, but insist
ed later that when the contractor came
in for his money that he be sent to
him. In the meantime Auditor Reed
is lording 1t largely when somebody
comes in with legitimate bills and is
paying workhouse orders without much
question.
