Clock Plant.

The clock plant is native OF Rorneo.
and in that country even it is said to
be rare. The plant derives its name
from it's peculiar habits. which are
known to but few who have not studied
it from scientific standpoint. The
plant has leaves of two sizes, one
of which acts in the capacity Of \
minute hand, which keeps moving un-
til o'clock In the afternoon. and the
other keeps going until morning. The
larger leaves act as the hour hands.
Starting in position when all the
leaves lie close to the stem. with the
points hanging down. they rise gradu-
ally until they turn toward the top.
and then they drop to their former po-
Sitinn. 1t takes the smaller leaves
about one minnie to go through this

The Mountain states, such as Idaho
Montana and Nevada, are in the calcu-

would cover all the Mountain states, and
that east to the Ohio would be handled
from Chicago, while New York would
handle the east, including the south.
1t is generally understood here that

from 12 to 171k cents per yard. On stone
the raise is from 10 to % cents.
1t is also decreed by the union that
not less than SO shall be charged for
plastering cisterns. If a cisteTn has a
crack in it, and the mason can repair it
in a couple of hours, he cannot, under
this rule, as interpreted by a member
of the union today, charge less than $40
for the job.
There are about 40 journeymen plas-
terers in Topeka, and % boss plaster
ers, who are all members of the uion.
Four or five independent plasterers are
in town. but they are mostly in sym
pathy with the union, and charge the
union scale. The journeymen plasterers
get so cents an hour or $4 a day.
I'VE have to charge good prices" said
a boss plasterer today, because we are
idle SO much of the time. Sometimes
a plasterer does not have anything at
all to do for two or three weeks at a
time He must make enough when he
is busy to keep him over the dull times.
Our prices are not exorbitant. When
man starts in to repair a cistern, and
finds a crack it indicates that cistern

He has to take off the cement plaster
and pound the wall back into place with
a sledge. He is at expense for scaf-
folding and cannot afford to do the job
for less than $10''

TALK OUSTING MAYOR.
Liable to Impeachment for vio-
Iating Old Soldier Law.

Some of the old soldiers of the city
are talking very strongly of filing a
complaint against Mayor Bergundthal,
and trying to have him impeached for
ence law. It is reported that Lincoln
post G. A r. will take the matter up.
P. H. Coney, one of H. K. Goodrich s
attorneys, said:
L don't think that Lincoln post will
do anything as a body. Nor will Mr..
Goodrich and those interested with him
in this lawsuit. carry the thing any
further. I can't say what any indi-
viduals might do. / have heard some
talk that an effort would be made to
imDeach the mayor.
Il believe he is liable. If a man steals
money and keeps it a year and then re-
turns it. it does not exempt him from
prosecution for larceny. 1t might be a
acQuittal.''
Mayor Bergundthal thinks he has a
Saving clause" which would help him
out of the difficulty even if an effort
should be made to oust him from office.
The Goodrich case was brought against
Porter Mitchell. MitchelPs attorney
agreed to a statement of facts which
provided that Goodrich and Mitchell had
equal qualifications Upon this point
the decision turned in favor of Good
rich. Mayor BergundthaI, for his part,
has never admitted that Goodrich was
as well qualified as Mitchell, and this
fact might be sufficient to save him in
case Of prosecution.
Mayor Bergundtha1 said today: Il
can't see that I have done anything to
lay myself liable under this law, any
way. When 1 refused to appoint Good
rich, the law was in question. Hasn't a
man right to test a law before he. de-
cides whether law should be obeyed.
or whether it is unconstitutional? AS
soon as the courts said that Goodrich
was entitled to the office, 1 made no
objection
