President's Recommendation.
l believe it advisable that a spe-
cial committee be appointed 20 con-
f.r with the supreme financial secre-
Lary in regard to the number of now
mem bers gained in branches Also
the names of those signing new MEM
bership applications in regard to
a wardlng the prize banner and integ-
rity medal, and l have no doubt the
com mittee on laws and regulations
will report in the resolutions in re-
gard to the same so that the awards
will be satisfactory TO all.
AS our laws seem to be satisfactory,
changes should be made only when
we find it is for the best interest of
ment in a fraternal society is what
brings to the mem hers' minds the
safety of their investment and many
organic ttiC ms are today facing toe
tact hat their cost of management Is
too ls-va jpcurring extra assessment
and increase of per capita tax upon
the mem bers The Western Catholic
Union is known conservative in en-
penses aud we figure b. cause of this
fact we will be enabled to procure
more members and the cost IL me m
bers will be lessened aud not in-
creased. A. a result this will enab
US to accumulate large reserve fund,
she income from which will be suffi
cient so that the cost to mem bers Can
be r' duced
In conclusion, l wish to sincerely
thank the Officer fr the assistance
aud faithful performance OF their du-
ties in the unions welfare; also to all
those who 20 willingly during the past
year assisted in gaining new mem
bers The confider &c and courtesIes

WANTED

A fire was discovered yesterday
shortly after l O'Clock in the corral
at the rear of P. H. Smiths livery
stable, in a manure pile. An alarm
was turned in for the fire department,
but instead of responding a query was
sent from the fire hall as to the extent
of the fire. Someone at the stable
replied that it was only in a manure
pile, and Captain Bond refused to call
out the department. The fire was put
out with a few buckets of water. Mr..
Smith thinks the fire department
should have responded and that they
are not supposed to inquire as to
whether or not a fire is large or small
when an alarm is turned in. He has
complained to the mayor and several
aldermen. X

HOT TIME IN COON TOWN.
Two Colored Gentlemen Porters Have
~, a Set IN. y

There was a regular rough house in
Brown & Deckert's barber shop yester-
day afternoon for several minutes,
when a battle royal between the two
colored po1ters, Will Brooks and John
George, figured as the main attrac-
ton. Splttoons, rocks and clubs flew
through the air and for the time being
there was hardly any difference be-
tween customers, BARRIERS and porters.
The trouble was caused by q slur-
ing remark made against Brooks by
George, which the former proceeded
to rebuke. George had gotten hold
of a stone and he threw it at Brooks,
missing the latter and going through
n Of the large plate glass mirrors.
The two combatants then clinched
and the way they went at each other
would have done credit to regular
fighters, with the exception, that
George used his teeth on Brooks
cheek, nearly chewing out a piece
the size of a half dollar. George was
finally knocked off and chased out of
the building by Brooks. Deputy
Sheriff Harding happened along about
this time and placed both men under
arrest.
The men were taken before Justice
Fraser where they paid fines of $40
each.
The broken mirror, which. was val
ued at $50, was insured by Spear &
White. The agents have not yet de-
cided whether or not they will prose-
cute. .

restaurant, for $500 damages was up
in Justice Fraser's court yesterday
afternoon. Counsel for both parties
argued their sides Of the case, after
which the Justice announced that he
would take the matter under advise
ment and render an opinion at 10
O'Clock a. NJ, today. Mrs. Dorsett
alleges that Lee is withholding a trunk
containing dresses and bedding of the
value of $500 or more, from her. Lee
replies that Mrs. Dorsett owes him a
bill for room rent and that she left
the trunk for security. The trunk is
said to contain only three dresses that
would not bring very much at even a
secondhand store.
