to the police force-that of securing
men with experience who have been
recognized as good officers This is
especially true of Mr.. Donovan. He has
made an excellent record in his long
service in the Topeka police department
and no man knows more about crooks
than he
In outlining his policy with reference
to the police Mayor Parker said: THE
police force has to be a good one-I am
determined. Our lives and our property
are at stake and must be protected ir-
respective of politics. The men who are
given places on the police force will be
men who viii do their duty and so far
as possible who have been tried
Il don't want it understood that all
the members of the present force will
be discharged That is not my purpose
However, there are men on the police
force who are not adapted for police
officers and they will be supplanted as
soon as possible. A person may be an
excellent man and still be a failure as
a policeman.
There are men who have had exper-
ience and who are known as good off,
GERS who were discharged for political
reasons and they will be reinstated.
shall attempt to have police force gov
erned by the merit system and not by
political favor"
This leaves no doubt whatever that
]. Owens will be reinstated as sergeant
as he was one of those with an excel
lent record who was deposed for politi-
cal reasons. 1t will also lead to the re-
inStatement of Frank Hendricks as pa
trolman. There are others who will be
benefited by this announcement of Mr.
Parker. 1t may mean that John Gar
diner will be made a sergeant for he has
a good record to his credit as chief of
police. 1t has frequently been rumored
that he would be appointed chief by
Mr.. Parker.
The big fight for chief of police was
made by H. c. Lindsey and his friends.
Only last night the Democratic Flam-
beau club passed resolutions ENDORSING q
him for the position though Mr. Dono-
van is Democrat. Mr. Parker has
simply been overwhelmed with endorse
ments for Col. Lindsey and it was to
put a stop to the tension that he made
the announcement today.
Timothy Donovan who will be the new
chief of police has had 20 years exper-
ience in the police department of To-
peka filling every position from patrol
man to chief He held his place through
all the changes of administrations in
spite of the fact that he is a Democrat
simply because he was recognized as
one of the most efficient officers in the
west but with the Hughes administra-
tion came the advent of Chief Stahl and
soon after the discharge of Mr.. Dono-
van from the place he held as sergeant
His place was needed for a political
favorite. Since his discharge from the
police force Mr.. Donovan has served as
special officer for the Santa Fe and is
now guard at the First National hank

Barre evening telegram. (Barre, Vt.) 1898-19??, 1902-09-05

Shock, which is always present In
severe burns, requires the administrS-
don Of stimulants. The amount Of
shock or collapse after any bad In
jury or sudden fright differs with the
character Of individuals. Some sue
cumb to it much more readily than
others. When serious, the tempera-
ture drops below normal, the face is
pale, pinched and anxious. the pulse
slow and feeble, the body bathed In
cold perspiration. Sometimes there
is shivering. Sometimes the mind
wanders. Place the patient at once
in a horizontal position, the head
slightly raised. Administer stlmu-
!ants, alcoholic or aromatic vinegar. If
whisky or brandy is used, give from
teaspoonful to tablespoonful of hot
water every ten minutes until five or
six doses have been taken. Surround
the body and legs inside the thighs
and under the armpits with hot water
bags, hot stones-anything to give
warmth-but take care not to burn
your patient. If the injury is to the
head, follow the same treatment, but
omit the alcoholic stimulant.

Why Teak Wood Is Durable,

The teak, which has passed into
proverb as the best material for ship
building, is superior to all other woods
from the fact that it contains an es-
sential oil which prevents spikes and
nails driven into it from rusting. This
property IS not possessed by any other
wood in the world and furnishes an
explanation Of the fact that Sims builr
or teak are practically indestructible.
