speech. moved that salary of $500 be
paid to the president.
The chair. noticing the motions get.
ting in a tangled mess, stated to Mr..
Everitt that he would consider his mo-
ton to elect president, but that nom
nations were not yet in order.
The motion being carried, Mr.. Ever
lit nominated C. C. Hail for presi-
dent; Joe Barnett nominated w. L.
Trimble, and Alfred Grunsfeld named
J. A. Weinmann.
Messrs. Trimble and Weinmann
withdrew their names, leaving the
field wide open for Mr.. Hall. who was
elected to the presidency, but several
muttered that it was not known that
Mr.. Hall would accept.
Mr.. Everitt then rose and stated
that for the past four years the scheme
OF one man acting as president and
secretary. and employing his own as
sistant worked WELL and he would
therefore move that a salary of $500
be paid to the president and that he
appoint his own secretary and steno-
grapher. paying him what he desired
cut of his salary.
This motion was seconded by B.
Spitz. but before. being put to the
meeting Mr.. Marion was on his feet,
protesting against the assertion of
Mr.. Everitt. He stated that he was
president of the fair two years ago.
and that he worked as hard as anyone
to make the fair success. The only
time that president was paid, and he
to pay his assistant or stenographer
out of his salary, was at the time the
people desired a change and that was
at the street fair and carnival.
Lively debates followed between
Messrs. Marion and Everitt, with hon
ors about even, when Alfred Gruns-
field threw out a bomb shell and moved
that $500 salary be paid each the presi-
dent and secretary.
This motion was seconded by W. l..
Trimble, who emphasized his remarks
by stating that the secretary be paid
$500 salary and no more for his work.
Here Mr.. Marion tumbled to the fact

SWEATING MuNRoE.
SOME FACTS IN CASE.

Another "sweatbox" session took
place at the county Jail this morning
IN which Munroe, the notorious safe
robber, and Ferrel and Myers, suspects
of the clean scoops in the southwest,
changed their stories and confessed of
having been at Las Vegas, which they
have stubDornly denied at every sweat.
ing.
Marshal Cartright and VIII Stewart,
who is connected with the electric rail
way of Las Vegas, arrived in the city
this morning and in company with
Marshal McMillin visited the county
Jail. AS soon as they saw the three
prisoners they identified them as the
same men who were seen around Las
Vegas the day before the sensational
safe robbery at that city.
Ferrell had been arrested for being
drunk, but as there was no evidence
against him as being connected with
the robbery he was released. Munroe
and Myers had been seen around the
city, but they kept out Of trouble and
were not placed In the clutches of the
law.
Previous to the arrival of Marshal
Cartright and Mr.. Epperson, the three
prisoners denied having been in Las
Vegas for nearly four years, but Mar
shal McMillin had corresponded with
the marshal of Las Vegas and had also
sent photographs, but the only way by
which he could get a confession out
of the prisoners was to have them con-
fronted by these gentlemen from Las
Vegas. Munroe stated to the marshal
this morning that after he first said
he had never been in Las Vegas he
would not tell another story until it
was absolutely necessary.
Myers was first arrested on the same
night that Munroe was put in the tolls,
but was released after serving a SEN
tence for vagrancy. About two hours
after he was arrested with two others
who had in their possession several
hack saws. They were all locked up
and have received several sweatings
but nothing important has developed,
with the exception that Myers was
seen at Las Vegas with Munroe and
Ferrell. Mr. Stewart, who had charge
of the construction work, had talked
with Munroe and Ferrell, who were
not seen after the safe cracking.
The police authorities believe they
have the men who dad the work here
and at other places in the southwest,
but a connecting INK is needed. The
man with the loot is wanting and they
do not think it will be long until he
will be captured.

CONDITION OF REED.
Ex-speaker in No Serious Danger from
His Sickness.

Washington, Dec. 4.-Former Speak.
er Thomas B. Reed. who is i'll at the
Arlington hotel In this city. passed a
reasonably comfortable night. When
the physicians called this morning
they found that the symptoms Of ap-
pendicits which developed yesterday
had abated somewhat but on the con-
trary there were indications of kidney
complications. These complications
are due, they say, to the fact that for
two or three days Mr.. Reed had been
subsisting on practically liquid diet,
largely champagne. The effect of this
would be to induce a little kidney
trouble so that the present complica-
tons are not considered as serious.
Mrs. Reed and her daughter, Miss
Kittie, who arrived last evening are as
sured that the present condition Of
Mr.. Reed is not alarming.

POLICE COURT.
Hard Luck Tale Told by Three Poorly
Clad Wanderers.

Police court had three men this
morning poorly dressed in working
mems garb, who told a story of hard
work and no money. They had been
working east of here for a railroad
contractor named Wallace who beats
all of the poor wanderers who engage
work with him to earn a few dollars.
These men had been working for some
time and when they wanted their
money he refused to pay them. The
story is backed by many reports of the
same treatment of other workmen. A
fight took place last week in which
Wallace had narrow escape from be-
ing -worsted. He attempted to get away
on a train. When the men learned of il
they got on both sides of the train
and pulled him off. But with numerous
promises they let him of. The south

Pittsburg, Dec. 4.-All records In

dent and have the company's own
workmen do il. The success of the
venture. it is said, will result in the

low" himself, and not always especially
so to him. There is next to nothing in
them to attract the curious whose
work and play are on different lines;
and other literary fellows do not care
to hear about them, for they know
just how it is. Brown wrestles with
sonnet; all that can be said about the
process, the froWns and heavings and
gurglings has been said a thousand
times, chiefly in comic papers and par
agra phs. If he accomplishes his task,
possibly he gets S. or $40 for the re-
suit. In one case out of million or
two it may be remembered for a
decade. Smith sits down to cudgel a
novel out of his inner consciousness;
who wants to watch his throes and
share the joys or sorrows that precede
or attend creation? people sometimes
do In the stories, l notice, but these
are high f1ights.) His wife may have
to see that he knocks off for dinner.
and gets to bed for 2 a. m. She may
share his anxiety as TO the concrete
result. His intimates, If he is yimpu-

But suppose Smith scores, or Brown
is acclaimed as new Tennyson. Why,
then, If notoriety or fame be won there
will be hard facts, statistics, biog-
rapnies and photographic data, arti-
cles or items in books of reference. We
shall want to know what the great
man eats for breakfast and where he
buys his trousers. But as for fiction,
no. The professional life of the man
Of letters, however successful, can, as
rule, furnish nothing to romance;
and as for realism, realism can find
more to interest and instruct In the
daily experiences of a plowman or So
ctety woman, not to say of a lawyer
or engineer. Machinery is a more
hopeful field for tales than letters, and
it is being worked now. Business has
innumerable varieties and ramifca-
tons, but what is there that is not
hopelessly commonplace in a writer's
work, beyond the JOY of discovery, as
situations and characters evolve them
selves from his brain and take on a
semblance Of vitality? Stevenson
could put that in few glowing lines.

THE coLER BIRD.

Sing not pray of the nightingale,
Nor pirate of the warbling wren,
Chant not in praise Of the peacock's tail,
Nor yet OF the modest hen;
Boast not of the lark or the linnets note,
Their song is not worth a word
Compared with the chuckle that's in the
throat
OF the wonderful Coler bird.
And sing no song Of the blithe cuckoo,
Nor the toothsome canvasback,
OF the shifty loon or the shy curlew,
Or the bird that goes "quack! quack!'
Sing not of the bittern or gull or tern,
BY such Is my soul unstirred,
But sing in words that sizz and burn
OF the wonderful Coler bird.
The eagle scars on a widespread wing,
And the clouds are its barbican,
Of the swift gray goose the poets sing.
And exc of the pelican;
care not for swan nor the smart bluebill,
Nor the hawk by the blue sky blurred,
But I sing OF a nest at the foot of hill
Where bideth the Coler bird.
