After Mr.. Taylor was granted permits
sion 20 talk on the matter for the second
time Mr.. Willis arose and said:
Il am sorry that the member from the
Seventh ward persists in talking on this
subject. IL is very unpleasant TO me-"
Mr.. Taylor retorted by saying: 1t ought
to he" He also asked President McNulty
to lenne the duties Of a committee and
also Of It's chairman.
Chairman McNulty replied; Were 1

as much a member as the chairman The
chairman is not the dictator of a commit
tee and the majority Of members can, at
any time, call a meeting.
Matter Again Brought Up.
After the proposed act 20 establish a
municipal lighting plant was presented
and endorsed by Council, the crematory
matter was again brought up.
Mr.. Lynch, OF the Third ward. thought
that the contention in the Crematory
Committee should be settled. He said that
Il had been hanging fire long enough and
that the vacancies az the crematory
should be filled.
Mr.. McCafferty said tho whole trouble
was caused by the persstoncy OF Mr.. WI
lis In keeping a man az tho crematory
who was opposed by others OF the COM
mittee. If things don't take on a differ
ent shape soon." said Mr. McCanferty. Il
will retire from the committee"
Would Not Call Meeting.
Mr.. Taylor said Mr. Willis would never
call meeting OF the committee. He said
that three members OF the committee on
one occasion wanted 20 hold a meeting but
Mr.. Willis was In hiding. He Craylor)
found him later In the toilet
President McNulty said that three mem
bers Of the committee could hold a meet
Ing without consulting the chairman and
thought the present discussion a confess
sion OF weakness on the part Of the men,
bers OF the committee.

At this point Mr.. Kane moved TO adj

feet and insisted on explaining his posi-.
tion on the committee. The motion to ad.

For some time I have been Impress
ed with the danger that exists from the
spread OF tubercle resulting from prison
life. The only possible means OF isolat-
ing a tubercular inmate is TO shut him
up. and when We consider that fresh air
is one OF the indispensable means Of
treatment, close confinement would be
cruelty in the extreme. II. on the other
hand, the tuberculosis subject Is given

Bridge Committee Meeting.

At a meeting of the bridge COM
mittee Thursday night subscriptions
to the amount OF "a, 500 were handed
10. This with about $4,000 which
MaYview and vicinity are expected to
contribute brings the total sum con
slderably nearer the amount required
The critical stage has been reached
The last seven or eight thousand dol
lars will be the most difficult to
raise. Nearly everybody who may be
expected to subscribe has been seen.
1t is earnestly hoped that some Of
the larger subscribers will increase
their subscriptions literally aud
promptly. The survey will not be
made until the total sum has been
raised. 1t is high time to be about
the work Of getting the right of way,
but the bonus will have to be raised
first. Will not the people go to the
committee and volunteer to give the
amount remaining?

Mr.. ElIlng's Letter Of Resignation.

Lexington, Mo-, Sept, 20, 1904.
To the Chairman Of the Lafayette
County Democratic Central Com
mittee.
Dear Sir: 1t is with much regret
and only after careful considerations
Of the question that 1 have decided
to offer my resignation Of the nomi-
nation recently conferred upon me by
the democratic voters CT this county.
My reason for doing this is that
have just been offered a business
engagement which will make 1t i'm
possible for me to render the public
service OF the office of representative
without personal sacrifice greater
than my obligations to my family and
home warrant.
1 wish to assure you and through
you to assure the democrats Of Lafay-
cite county that l have been, sm
now, and will continue to be entirely
loyal to the whole democratic ticket,
national, state, county and precinct;
and expect to spend part Of my
time during this present campaign in
party service. 1 fully appreciate the
honor which the democrats Of this
county have conferred upon me aud
l shall not only in this campaign, but
in future campaigns prove this appre-
citation by loyal party service. My
sole reason for resignation is the
business engagement which l have
mentioned, rendering it impossible
for me to discharge the duties OF the
office Of representative without SER
ious personal loss, greater than feel
able to make.
Very respectively,
]. B. ELLINa.

The Indians Won.

In one of the fastest and most in
teresting foot ball games ever seen In
Lexington w. NJ. A. lost to the sec
ond team of Haskell Saturday by a
score of 1S to 0. The game was called
at $50 and from the time the ball
was kicked off the first time until
the finish there was nothing but foot
ball The halves we're 20 minutes
and the game was played 10 less than
one hour which is probably record
breaker. Notwithstanding the hot
weather not man from either team
was retired and only five or six min
utes time lost the entire game.
Each team is credited with two
fumbles but the most expensive one
was made by W. NJ A. W. M. A.
kicked off and securing the ball on Has
kell's 25 yard line rushed it within
foot of the goal and with three downs
to gain this distance the ball was
fumbled and lost to the Indians.
Haskell, whose team was much heav-
Ter, rushed the ball across the field to
their 10 yard line where W. M. A.
held them for downs. w. M. A failed
to make the distance and the ball
changed hands again and after IL
minutes play PoorJhunder was push
ed over for the first touch down,
Haskell kicked goal, The second
touch down was made in less time,
the score was IL to when time was
called the first half. In the second
half W. NJ. A. resorted more to punt
ing and Haskell had to be satisfied
with points, the fual score being
18 TOO.
The Haskell team was made up
from experienced players, men who
have been playing ball for many years
aud understand the game thoroughly.
This together with the advantage
they had 10 weight is evidence Of the
strong game Wentworth played.
The feature of the game was Capt.
Bunting's tackling. He was in every
play, breaking up formations and
downing the man.
Fnllnwing is the line nn.

About 8 O'Clock Tuesday morning
fire was discovered In the roof of j R.
Moorehead's house When the fire
company arrived the rooms over the
dining room and kitchen were burnt
out and the fire had gotten under the
roof Of the main part Of the house
where it was very dlnicult to reach
The fire in the back part Of the house
was quickly extinguished but In the
front part it was not successfully re-
sisted until 1t had broken through
the roof In many places. Nearly
everything was carried out Of the
house but not until serious damage
had resulted from both fire and water.
1t is impossible at the present time to
estimate the damage to house and
contents but it will probably prove
to be several thousand dollars.
