II vent into eastern Oklahoma from three
to four hours ahead Of the Kansas City
papers and knocked them silly along the
Rock Island route. Everybody said the
report was presented in clearer and bet
ter shape than IN the Kansas City papers.
It was 50 acceptable TO the people Of
Oklahoma THAI many kilograms were re-
ceived yesterday asking to have It run
again in this mornings edition II order to
supply the demand for It.
Thousands upon thousands Of the pa
pers were printed and sent out, and yet
the demand exceeded the supply.
Il was nearly 10 o'clock Sunday evening
when the Associated Press report came
into the Eagle Office. Il gave only syn
opsis Of the proclamation The Eagle
had 70 have & complete and determined
al that late hour 10 secure il at its own
expense and have It printed for the early
morning trains.
The wires were kept hot between Wieh-
tia and Washington. The proclamation
was put on the wires at the national cap
ital at Il oclock. The Eagles own staff
operator demanded the removal Of the
operator who started the message at the
Washington end because he was too slow.
The second operator had TO be removed
also. he third operator was a good one
and at 2:45 IN the morning the paper went
to press with the entire proclamation con-
sisting Of 4426 words. It was the longest
special dispatch ever taken by a Kansas
paper.
Notwithstanding the immense number
Of orders for extra copies, some individ-
uals having sent for as high as 100, not
a mail wis missed. Il was a great piece
OF work al the way through and with the
extraordinary loyalty that has always
characterized the Eagle employees every
man was at his post.

THE CLERKS TO ACT.
Steps That Will Be Taken to Enforce
Early Closing Movement.

AS stated in yesterdays Tribune the
Clerks association at Tuesday nights
meeting decided on what steps to take
to bring about strict obedience of the
early store closing agreement.
A committee of clerks was appointed
to investigate the cases of alleged vo-
lation of the agreement and to urge
upon those who are charged with re-
naming open after hours the neces-
sity of closing promptly at $50, If the
movement would survive. Several cases
are known of where merchants have
persisted in disreearding the rule of
disseminating business at 6.30--the hour
agreed upon--and 1t is to these that
the clerks have been directed to turn
their attention.
1t is hoped that all of the merchants
will conform to the wishes of the
Clerks association, but ii there be con-
tinued opposition the matter will likely
be taken before the Central union for
that body tn bring about what the as
sociation aims at.
The secretary of the association was
also directed to notify the Merchants
association that certain of their mem
bers were not showing the right spirit
in the early closing movement, and
that insistence on their part was an
important factor i'm effecting =. general
observance of the movement.

AN ALLEGED NUISANCE.
Complaint Lodged Against a Bone
Depository on River Street.

The Tribune has been apprised of an
alleged nuisance on River street, and
has been requested TO call attention to
some of the reported objectionable
and offensive conditions that surround
the place.
The place is claimed to be a bone de-
postory; that is, it Is the central point
of the wagons in this vicinity which
are owned by the desscating works
located at Taylor. below Scranton.
The complaints that have been lodged
against this alleged hone depository
are that wagons are allowed 10 stand
in the barn-yard for day or two,
loaded With bones, scraps of meats and
the different offal gathered from the
meat markets along the routes of the
wagons. This collection gives off q
varied assortment of odors we'll calcu-
lated, according to the testimony of
the complainants, to cali for the rapid
covering of noses of those who are so
unfortunate as to be in the vicinity
during the stay of the refuse loaded
wagons.
ON two occasions dead animals were
allowed TO remain in the yard for two
days, the carcasses in the meantime
giving off odors of Sampson-like
strength. once. about the middle of
April. two departed mules remained in
the yard for two days before they We're
carted off to be dismembered to help
ill the Golfers of the dessicating works

the human body, wc soon, very soon, reach
the cannbalstic state.
Therefore, for the sake Of common dcccncy
and to remove the stigma from the fair name
and fame of our city, | ask your concurrence in
his removal. Respectfully submitted,
!. W. fitzpatrick, Mayor.
So soon as the communications were
read, Mr.. Battle was on his feet and
said. II move. Mr.. Chairman, that
we take action on these cominunica-
tjons without reference to the com
mtteo." The motion was seconded by
Mr.. Thompson. and was cxpoditiously
disposed of. all of the members Not-
ing in its favor
This left the matter to be disposed
of in the council chamber.
As was shrewdly suspected. the
members of council We're ready and
anxious to set aside the recommenda-
tions of the mayor and Mr.. Thomp-
son Immediately followed with a mo-
tion that I'VE do not concur in the
recommendations of the mayor"
His motion found a ready second in
Mr. Battle. and the next and last step
in the programme to set aside the ac-
ton of the mayor. was taken when
the motion was put and loud chorus
echoed through the council chamber
The motion was unanimously car
ricd. the mayors recommendations
were thrust aside without the least
ceremony and the councimen SEEM
ingly administered 2 rebuke to the
citizens. however few or numerous
they were, who came to the mayor
protesting against DR.. Niles retcn-
tion in office Tho action of councils
is interpreted hH Dr. Niles friends,
who are legion IN this city, as Il public
vndcatior. particularly since every
member of council responded in his
behalf ana with united voice declared
he should not he removed from office
for the misconduct alleged by the
mayor Another circumstance that is
pointed out is that council did not
deem the matter of such Importance
as to he referred to COMMITTEES. but
disposed of it forthwith. without
ceremony or without debate.
AS to the reference in the mayors
communication that the driver gave
DR.. Miles fifteen cents for the body.
DR.. Niles makes a vigorous denial
and disclaims all knowledge Of any
money transaction between himself
and the driver.

SCHOOL BOARD
REORGANIZATION
It Is Expected That the Directors
Will Throw Aside Their Differ
ences and Will Elect Officers at the
Adjourned Session of This Even
ing-How the Election May Re-
suit.

The Carbondale school board, which
adjourned on Monday night with a
deadlock over the office of president
the very first step towards re-organiz-
ing for the coming year, will meet
tonight in the high school building
for the purpose of carrying out the
work which was not even fairly begun
at Monday rights session.
1t is expected, and it seems almost
certain, that by tonight the directors
will have thrown aside the differences
that kept them apart on Monday
night and will effect a permanent Or
Sanization.
The indications now are that the
meeting will be to all intents and
purposes a love feast, and there will
he no hitch or even the semblance of
a hitch in the reorganization.
The precedent of the board, which
has been established for about thirty
years, will not be departed from this
year, as was suspected, and the cleo
tion of officers will be followed as
go into the office of president. Mr..
Kerwin will succeed Mr.. Hughes as
secretary and Mr. Sweigert will be
given the office of treasurer.
This Is the programme that should
be followed if precedent Is to govern
the directors, and precedent will gov
ern unless-well, unless some of the
directors resign, which is among the
remotest of possibilities.
OF course there will be interesting
developments-at least they are
looked for-after reorganiza ton has
| been effected.
For instance, there is the principal
ship-but it is probably too early, in
| fact it is foolish, to speculate on the
possibilities of that contest-and TIE
Tribune, like the public. will bide it's
time for developments in that direc-
| tion; also as to the other matters
which are likely to provoke more than
passing comment.
