 will scoff at this statement, yet it is true in every particular. What we now need in Nome is aa eff ,cIeft city coune. and in order to have this it i- necessary that the council have complete mem bership. Economy in the anagenent oi city affairs j. matter oi tle first importance. How 10 guide it through the narca straits by which it is bestt will .ake cool judgment and good administrative ability.

Tlp -unn,ng expenses of ths hospital not l.eavy, su far the furnishing of suppl is concerned, but salaries of the officers of that institution and those o, .he police rl!ould le paid in cash. We do not sse how this is possbe, but we believe that such ar. rangene,ts raight be ,a,leuh hat would enable war rants be sold for their face value, and thus avoid working hardship upon the police officers. This might be done by an improved ,ae,E,sd being adopted in the pawn ent of warrants, While they are now ai accordingsto priority of issue, in most towns int have kn. wn, wien warrant is presented tu c. treasurer, and u fluids to n.cet the de- tnand 1t is endors~ and thereafter bears,he cur rent rate of interest.

 We believe that city warrants are a~ good enough investment, and that every dollar of indebtedness in cured will te quidatcd early next spring. In th- approaching eecion only good, careful, honest and capable. business men should be elected. There are number of those among the men who are can- a.dases.

A BROADWAY INCIDENT.
and the Beggar Doesn't
Stop Him.

One of two men who were walking
on Broadway talking was attracted
by the appearance of one-legged beg
gar who sat, a crutch beside him, on
the edge of some steps in front of
store, holding out his hat to the pass
ers-by. So he reached in his pocket,
pulled out number of coins and took
from among them one which he
dropped in the beggar's hat. The one
legged man inclined his head. not serv-
ile!y nor hunbly. but with calm and
decorous sort of politeness in acknowl-
edgment of his gift, says the New York
Sun.
As for the giver, he seemed to take
no heed whatever of that acknowledge
ment; he simply kept on talking with
his friend; at the time. however, con-
tinuing to pick over the money that he
held in his hand, and in a moment he
dropped another coin in the one-legged
mans hat.
Maybe he thought the first coin was
not enough to give; perhaps he gave
also for his friend; possibly he had
Gus and wanted to give; he might have
been absent-minded; but anyhow he
gave twice. And as for the one-legged
man he so to speak. was not carried of
his foot by the incident at all; he sat
perfectly steady. AS the second coin
dropped in his hat he inclined his head
gravely, with an acknowledgment a
little more pronounced in manner than
the first. but with no obsequiousness
or foolish show of thanks. This was
Broadway, it was business man who
was giving him this money, and he was
making business acknowledgment.
And maybe he thought that, if he did
not disturb, by too much profuseness
of thanks. what might be sort of in.
voluntary or automatic action on the
part of the giver who w>s thus repeat
ing perhaps he would keep on giving.

TAKING THE TIME AT NOON.
All Business of the Western Union
Company Stops for Three
Minutes Daily.

Just before ~ o'clock each day all
business must be taken off the wires
controlled by the Western Union COM
pany, and that means the absolute
cessation of business along the main
lines of electric communication in the
principal cities of America, says Pear
sons Magazine. Three minutes before
noon wire chiefs in each of the prin-
cipal cities and the towns and cities
leading to and from their large Sis
ters cease sending or receiving mes
sages, no matter how important they
may be, and devote themselves to
switching on wires in such a way as
to make an unbroken circuit of COM
munication from Washington around
the uttermost boundaries of the
United States. This is called an "un-
broken national circuit" Thus a
smooth track is made along which the
electric message may flash encom-
passing the union and announcing the
time of day. Ten seconds before the
time bell strikes comes another ST.
1ence, and then a mighty throb, a
titanic heartbeat from the foremost
factor in modern commerce, and an
electric current pulsates from the At
1antic to the Pacific, from Gotham to
the golden gate, announcing the fact
that the sun has passed over the
seventy-ffth meridian and it is noon
at Washington.

RANGE RAILROAD VALUATIONS

RANGE RAILROAD V4LUATlONS.
The railroad and warehouse COM
mission has report showing item
by item the present value of the
properties of the Duluth, Missabe
& Northern and the Duluth & Iron
Range railroad. 1t was furnished
by w. D. Taylor, of Chicago, an ex-
pert railway engineer. His figures
do not take into account any depre-
citation of rolling stock or roadbed,
but estimate what it would cost to
produce everything new at present
prices.
The report is confidential. The
railroad companies tried hard to
get it, but we're refused.
It will be introduced as evidence
at the hearing Sept. "a to determine
what should be fair rate for the
hauling of ore. The total estimate
is counted as the investment of the
stockholders, on which they should
receive fair return, and the net
earnings are the present return;
if they are too great in proportion
to the total cost, then rates should
be correspondingly reduced.
