of Quitting Work.

BUFFALO, April 5--A1l the roofers in

SOLDIER TAKES A RIDE.
Use of Another Mans Buggy Re
suits in His Arrest

Joseph OConnor, soldier stationed
at the Washington barracks. was charged
in :he Police Court yesterday with driving
away another mans horse and also with
being disorderly.
1t was said that O'Connor found horse
and buggy standing in Georgetown Fri
day. He took a seat in the vehicle and
started off for pleasure ride. He en-
joyed himself for an hour and when ar
rested he became noisy and profane.

intention of stealing the horse and buggy.

In addition to this the alleys and

kled, and other incidental work necessary
to the proper running of the department
is performed. Under the present method
we are doing more than double the work.
and that with only a slight increase in
the appropriation.
In conclusion, l may confidently say
that we make as good showing at least
as any other city in the matter of clean
ing streets, and certainly our expenditure
for that purpose is much less

perform the additional work to be done.
During the past three years the hand
cleaning has been done directly by the Com
missioners. and not by contract, and the
cost has been reduced from 80 cents per
1000 square yards under contract to 16
cents per 1000 square yards, which re-

he Found His Horse.

Several mornings ago when W. B..
Kyle, of the third ward, went to the
stable to feed his little dun pony, the
animal was no where to be seen, "Bill
spent the day travelling over the
neighborhood and other neighbor-
hoods inquiring for his pony, even for
getting to tell people that he was a
candidate for councilman and would
like to have their votes, but nobody
had seen the pony. That night he
went to bed feeling very uneasy.
When he arose in the morning he went
to the stable. The door was shut and
no pony was about the lot. But he
heard a noise in the stable and on
opening the door saw the pony stand
ing in the stall.
The neighbors say Kyle has not yet
made up his mind whether the pony
was hid under the manger or buried
in the corn cobs during the day that
he spent hunting for it.

and helpful to Sunday school workers.
There was an excellent program for

OUR NEW MAYOR

port, Ohio, Jan ?, 1857, moved with
his parents to Fulton county, Ind. !,
in 1869, worked his own way through
school graduating in the first gradual
ing class of the Rochester High
school 1875. Worked his own way
through the Medical college by teach
ing school and farm labor, graduating
in the E. NJ Institute of Cincinnati,

The Election in Plymouth.

The election here Tuesday was a
surprise to many persons in other
cities and In other parts of the county
as well as to some persons in this city.
The democrats have a safe majority
in every ward in this city, yet the re-
publican candidate for mayor carried
every ward, and was elected by SO
majority.
The result here is attributed to
Metsker, the new editor of the Dem
ocrat, who commenced abusing DR..
Knott, the republican candidate for
mayor, the next day after hisnomina-
tion and kept it up until the polls
were closed.
Metsker was also profuse in his
praise OF Mayor Jones, and Council
men Parker and Reynolds. These
old councilmen are the most prominent
and have alway been the most popular
democrats in the city. The demo-
cratic majority in their ward was
equal to the whole number of republi-
can voters in the ward. yet DR.. Rey-
olds was elected by a bare majority of
seven votes and ex-senator Parker
came within II votes of being left.
OF course the popularity of Messrs.
Koontz and Southworth was quite a
factor in the fight, but prominent
democrats are sure that if the editor
of the democrat had been given two
more days to abuse republicans and
praise democratic candidates, both
Parker and Reynolds would have been
defeated.
The election of Ashley and Logan in
the second ward gives the republicans
two good men in the council, and the
fact that both the republican candi-
dates for couucilmen ran ahead of
their ticket in the third ward leaves
the republicans of the city in excellent
spirits.
Messrs. Barnhill and McGlothlin
candidates for treasurer and clerk
received the full republican vote.
The republicans of Plymouth "are
all right. y
The official vote will be found in an
other column.

How Cheap Baking Powder Is Made.

The Health Department of New
York has seized a quantity of so-called
cheap baking powder, which it found
in that city. Attention was attracted
to it by the low price at which it was
being sold in the department stores
Samples were taken and the chemist
of the Health Department reported
the stuff to be IAN alum powder, -
which analysis showed to be composed
chiefly of alum and pllverized rock.
The powder was declared to be dan
gerous to health, and several thous-
and pounds were carted to the offal
dock and destroy ed.
1t is unsafe to experiment with
these so-called "cheap" articles of
food. They are sure to be made from
alum, rock, OF other injurious matter.
In baking powders, the high class,
cream of tartar. brands are the most
economical because they go farther in
use and are healthful beyond ques-
tion.

The beef trust is beginning to feel
the force of public opinion. 1t feels
exceedingly uncomfortable just now,
and it would not be at all surprising if
a halt were commanded all along the
line. The tactics of the beef trust
now are to run down the price of live
cattle by refusing to buy and causing
a slump in the markets. In its
desperation a reduction in the price of
all kinds of meat may be ordered any
day.
Senator Parks has just finished
planting 1000 catalpa trees on his
farm near Bourbon. He bought the
trees of Marshall county nurseries,
prepared the ground well, and set the
trees five feet apart. He expectsI to
have fence posts in ten years. Mr..
Parks has been giving much attention
to forestry and believes that tree
planting would pay many farmers in
this county.
An examination of the bills filed
with the auditor for this term of COM
missioners' court shows that c. W.
Metsker's bill for publishing list OF
forty allowances was s2.35. AS the
law fixes the price at ) cts. for each
allowance. the commissioners figured
forty times five cents are $500 instead
of S2.35. 1t seems that the little ed.
itor of the Democrat knows as little
about arithmetic as most other things
that he claims to know. Was he try.
ing to save money for the taxpayers
or make money for himself.
