MANY APPLICANTS FOR PLACES.
A Dozen are Willing to Swing q Club
For CITY.

While it may be true, as sung, that
a policeman's lot is not happy one"
it is equally true that a large number
of our good citizens are willing TO en-
ter this state of alleged "unhappiness"
at $50 per unhap, TO judge by the num
Der of applications filed for appoint
ment on the force here.
The Police Commission holds it's
regular election on Tuesday next.
And those willing to swing q club
and take the chances of getting paid
for their services are numerous. AL
ready there are dozen on the list,
and others still may be added.
Acting under the rules and regula-
tons governing that body heretofore,
the Police Commission will proceed
with the election of police off GERS Just
as if there was no fight on between
that body and the City Council rela-
tive to the election of policemen and
control of the force.
Quite likely the same number of
officers; chief, lieutenant and five
policemen will be elected.
This new term of office is for two
years, beginning April 1st. In all
probability, all of the men now serv
ing will be among the list of appli-
cants for appointment again, while
there are quite az many others listed.
But then the City Council proposes
to have hand in making up the force
this year, provided the ruling of the
Supreme Court is favorable.
This very important question may be
determined within month.
At present the Council is restrained,
by order of the Superior Court, from
IN anywise interfering with the po-
lice department. An appeal from this
decision of Judge Littleiohn was tax
en- and the case carried to the Supreme
Court week ago on fast bill of ex-
captions,
If the injunction holds good the po-
licemen elected next Tuesday will
serve, though at what kind of salary
the City Council must say. Ii Judge
Littlejohn should be reversed then the
Council will elect the members of the
force, while the Police Commission
would be statesmen out Of job.
But in the meanwhile the Commits
sion has all authority, and will per.
form its duty as heretofore.

The Last Heard of It.

Cyclone punch is nearly as famous

in the ensuing jag was kingly.
few minutes after Kalakdua left the
boys at 'Dooner's he was found in the
midst OF great crowd at the corner of
Twelfth and Chestnut streets climbing a
telegraph pole and singing the Hawaiian
national anthem. Finding the ascent rath-
err difficult, he got down, threw a handful
of coins into the crowd, and hailed a
street car. Shortly after he was discover
ed on top of this car, lying nat upon his
face and reaching down from the forward
hood in an attempt to pull the driver up
beside him. Friends finally rescued him

was under control. To the day of his
death, ten years later, he never forgot

THAT DOVER LINE.
Negotiations Being Carried on With
Favorable Indications.

The Dover electric railway project is
still being agitated. Although not much
real progress has been reported the mat
er has not been entirely neglected.
A bonding and mortgage company of
Topeka has interested itself in the pro-
jeet and is in correspondence with Bos-
ton capitalists who own and operate
several suburban railways in the west
and it is announced that negotiations
are pending looking to the organization
of company to complete the proposed
electric line
The residents of Dover and vicinity
are still as enthusiastic and anxious for
the construction of the line as they were
when the party of Topeka people at
tended the mass meeting held there this
spring to agitate the matter. Much
help can be secured there by popular
subscription, and the people say the
company that will build the line will
have no difficulty in securing township
and company aid to the full extent al
lowed by law.
TIE proposed road would prove of i'm
mense value to the farmers of that ter
ritory and would prove an excellent
feeder for Topeka. The business men
of the Commercial club are lending the
project all the support possible.
