obtaining almost any position TO which
he might have aspired. That was when

Bynum's chance. and his friends pre-

to confirm him. The Democrats called
upon Byaum TO produce his credentials

Senate Will Recede.

In the Philippine civil government bill
which passed the Houg5 at the last ses-
sion. there was a provision for making
the gold dollar the unit Of value in the
Philippine Islands. It failed because the
Senate insisted upon fixing a silver
standard for the islands. Hence in the
nOn-concurrence Of the two houses no
monetary standard was established. The
House bill was Mr.. Cooper's measure:
the Senate bill bore the name Of Sena-
tor Lodge. Now the Senate is preparing
to gracefully recede from its position and
TO admit that the House provision for
the gold standard was the proper one.
It was Mr.. Cooper who drafted the
measure and introduced it in the House:
Senator Lodge introduced a similar
measure in the Senate. The Senate.

M. G. Willard has been connected
with the mills since they were started
in 1886, and has been tied down close
ly by his duties. He has for some
time felt the need of rest. The mills
have grown in Importance and output
until at the present time they are
turning out more goods than ever be-
fore. An enterprise that was started
largely for the good of the city, at the
instance of the board of trade, has
more than fulfilled the predictions of

will continue in capable and stong
hands. They will be kept at the fore

THREATENED TO SHOOT.
Broad Street Resident Failed to Stop
Work There.

The work of excavating for the curb
and gutter on Broad street was pushed
ahead south this morning and will
soon reach Warren street. Two blocks
of paving will be completed as soon as
possible, as the contractors feel that
there will be general satisfaction with
it expressed when the people see what
it really is.
When the shovelers went to work on
the excavating this morning, one resi-
dent who has taken prominent part
in trying to defeat the paving move
forbade the workmen to proceed, say
ing that he would shoot the first man
who turned a spade full of dirt in
front of his property. The men ceased
working until an official came along,
when he directed them to proceed,
which they did. No shooting was
done, and the work proceeded without
interruption after that. One or two
other property owners are said to have
made threats, but, if so, their better
judgment has prevailed.

INJUNCTION SECURED.
City Temporarily Restrained from
from Tearing Down NicoIIet House.

The papers were served on the
mayor, recorder and aldermen Friday
afternoon in the injunction suit of
Leslie S. Hackney against the city to
restrain the latter from tearing down
the old Nicollet House property on
North Front street. Judge Cray has
granted temporary restraining order,
and the city is directed to show cause
June cd at 10 a. m. why permanent
injunction should not be granted. The
city is forbidden to tear down, remove
or otherwise meddle or interfere with
the building, the value of which is al
legged to be 81, 500.
The complaint alleges that the frame
structure is in good, solid and SUBJ
stantial condition, but that the brick
veneering and some of the interior
part is in need of repairs. The plain
tiff is willing, able and intends to re-
pair the veneering and the interior
part, SO that it will be absolutely safe
and will not endanger the travelling
public or anyone else. 1t is alleged
that renter will take the building at
$25 month.
s. B. Wilson is attorney for the
plaintiff, and the papers were served
by Deputy Sheriff Geo. Atchison.
