not object to going on with the evil dence, and just then Harri, said that he had a resolution to offer and have read before going any further. Then the original resolution was read. Steven- said he was opposed to the re,ol tiun; while the evidence that had been introduced was nearly all cir cumstantial, the board had been very ia IT to Mr. Jolley, and 1t would be uu- fair to Mr. Warren to let the case drOl. where it was. The first time that the chief of police took the chair it was seen that the evidenre was conflicting; more light might be thrown upon the case; the taxpayers, he said, wanted to know JoIley's side of the case. While there wa, no proof that Julley had taken money he had neglected his duty as an officer, and Stevens wanted to 20 on with the case.
 Warren'S counsel, Senator Schofield, insisted that the case should be pro- ceeded with. The resolution as read WdS III llle nature Ol uOu-sulU. f1e admitted that the evidence was circum- stanlial, but there were one or two points where there was corrUborative testimony.

He was1nOt there to indulge in pyrotechnicS; if any argument was to be made it should be limited to ten minutes.
 There were calls of question, and the original resolution as amended was put and carried. as follows: Yes-Geiger, tlarrls, Tierney, Valentine, Jourden. No-otevens.

doing what they can to assist the needy feel that burden is being inn posed upon few, in case where all able to do so should at least bear a share.
 Yesterday a number of men in des- titute circumstances resolved to secure the names of all worthy men and -.remeu-ws arc in need ,sAnd it is pre- posed to call a meeting of the business men on Tuesday evening at 8 0 clock at the court house, when the list of destitute will be presented and when it is hoped some organized system of relief may be formulated. The list is being prepared by N. E. Lockart, a reliable and trustworthy man.
 Some of the destitute men proposed to hold mass meeting of the un- employed" as means of ascerlaining the number of destitute people in Nome, but they were dissuaded from so doing, and the plan outlined above was adopted instead.
 The NUGGET is not an alarmist. but from personal knowledge it can be said that systematic plan of relief must be adopted or there will be much suffering. The various churches and the societies connected herewith are doing much charitable work, but there is cl,ss of needy men which none of them reaches.
 It is to be hoped that the meeting on Tuesday night will be largely attended and the situation met promptly and cheeriully.
