CLERK DONELLAN ANXIOUS

/ While little has been definitely settled
&o far as can be ascertained regarding
Mayor Fagan's state Of appointments for
January 1 it is generally believed that
the reappointment is certain of City Col

sistant Corporation Attorney Goldenhorn,
Of Police Commissioner John Mitchell,
Of Fire Commissioners Richard NJ. Con-
molly. Of Finance Commissioners Jacob
Ringle and William H. Quinn and of
Tax Commissioner Thomas J. Degnan.
II is known. however, that Mayor
Fagan is not in the habit Of announcing
his appointment states until the eleventh
hour. Il is known, at the same time, that
the Mayor is averse to making changes
in any department that has been running
smoothly under his administrations. But
like all other city officials, he is subject
to political pressure and there are many
men Of powerful political pull at the dis
pcsal Of tlssir party. 1t is rumored that
Sinking Fund Commissioner William H
Simmons will be re-appointed Sinking
Find Commissioner and that appeals
Commissioner W. Dohrman.a Republican
protese of John Z. McArthur. who has
retired from the leadership of the Eley-
enth Ward had a chance for re-appoint-
.ment
Rumor has it that William R. Harri-
son might be promoted from clerk of
the Appeals Board to position of APP
peals Commissioner in place of Frank
W. Angel. who has been i'll for some
time The re-appointment Of Appeals
Commissioner Frederick ]. stuhr is look

for the Assembly, may get Mr.. Harri-
sons 5000 clerkship in the event of Mr..
Harrison being promoted a Commission

W. Levering, who was for a short while
Permit Clerk under the Street and Water
Board. put in his place revived another
rumor heard some time ago concerning
friction between Col. Dickinson and
Mayor Pagan 10 the effect that the
trouble was that the Colonel wants to
provide Republicans with offices TO the
exclusion Of Pagan Democrats. This
rumor at the time could not be verified
DonellaE is Pagan Democrat and Lev
ering an out-and-out Republican. The
salary Of Police Court Clerk is $1,so0 a
year.

Wanted to Die.

David Jones, young man who has been employed at the "700," attempted to end his earthly career early last Sunday morning, by slashing his throat with razor. He made his preparations carefully. He quit his job, procured aud mailed to his father money order for $50, and in his letter accompanying the remittance, stated that it was his purpose to end his life. He procured a room at the Hotel Hunter, took his position before a mirror and made two desperate slashes at his neck with a razor. As this did not produce the desired effect he tied towel around bis neck and came down to the bar room, and asked the night clerk for a gun. The clerk stated that he had no gun, and then David inquired for q drug store. Marshal Mcdonald, who came in about that time, offered his services in procuring a doctor or a druggist if the man was sick, but the replies he recieved were incoherent; Mcdonald became suspicious and took matters in his own hands. He removed the towel from Davis neck and dis covering his condition, sent for Dr. Garner who gave the wounds the neces- sary treatment. Jones was taken to the hospital Monday.
 No reason is known for the conduct of Jones, except the belief by those acquainted with him that his mind was unbalanced.

Mad Dogs in Douglas.

Notwithstanding the efforts of the municipal authorities to rid the town of unclaimed dogs, they have continued to stay, hiding from view of the nu- merous dog catchers. Last Thursday these dogs created an uproar in the city that resulted in the wiping out of a great many of their number,
 The continued cold weather has fro zen the sources of supply for food and drink for these poor creatures, and maddened by hunger and thirst, they last Thursday started in on rampage that resulted in general mad dog scare in the city.
 During the day the dogs attacked and bit, more or less severely, num- Der of people, among whom were Mrs. H. R. Garner, Jack Cottrell, Tom Car mony, Johnnie Uren, Jarda Gauf1n, and Mike Roach, and number of others had narrow escapes.
 These attacks so enraged the citi- zens of Douglas that general war of extermination was declared upon the various canines, and men and boys pa raded the streets, armed with shotguns and rifles. All dogs running at large were shot without question, and by Fri. day night a score or more of the brutes had been dispatched, Tom Carmony, who was bitten on the hand, leg and nose, was doing nicely at last accounts,
 Mrs. Garner received bite on the finger, which is not considered serious.
 Jack Cottrell was bitten on the arm, but is able to go about his usual avo- cation. The other cases are less seri- ous.
 The habit some people have of letting their dogs live on what they may rustic, will lead to this same performance over again.

Items of interest are always received with smile at this office, no matter who brings them in or who or what they are about They will be publish ed; that's what we are running news paper for. It is impossible to get all the local happenings in town, but if our friends and enemies will help us out with an item now and then we will get a good many. A news item is any thing out of the ordinary that happens. For instance, when the baby cuts his first new tooth, that's news, and it nev- CT happened before. Or, if Bill and his girl get married, that's news, too, only a little more exciting than the other. People like to read these things, that they may know what's doin'. That's one of the reasons we are better than savages; we have papers that print the news and they don't.

A Bad Shot.
unbalanced

On last Sunday about noon, as MT. Alfred Williams and W. A. Reid, of Treadwell, were returning to their homes from Douglas, they were met at the corner of the Bears Nest mill by Mir. Phil Thom. MT. Thom carried re- volver, which he had been using as a dog exterminator. As the two men rounded the corner, Thom fired again and Williams suddenly discovered that he was shot. He was taken to the hos pital, where an examination by Dr.. Moore revealed the fact that only a deep flesh wound had been inflicted, and the bullet was soon extracted However, had the ball entered an inch lower, it is very probable that the joint would have been destroyed. MT. Will Hams is company surveyor at Tread we'll, and has lots of friends who sym pathize deeply with him in this afflic- tion, but among them there will hardly be found one who would be willing to take chances on the stray bullet that he caught. No blame is attached to MT. Thom, except that common to poor marksmen.

No Water.

Douglas is up against serious proposition. The water supply is run hing short. The small tank is empty and the reserve tank has only about 3 feet of water. The continued cold weather has sealed up all the little streams that usually furnish such an abundant supply. If the cold contin- ues the city will be without water for fire protection. A good stream is pour ing into each of the tanks, but the consumers are running the water out to keep their pipes from freezing, fast CT than it comes in. Another fire may find us without drop of water. These are the conditions that confront the people of Douglas. Now will they shut off the water until the tanks can be filled, or will they take the risk of being driven from their homes by fire.
 It is time to act and act quick.

Fire on Front Street.

About o'clock last Monday evening fire broke out, in the jewelry store of Mir. L. F. Bemmis, on Front street in this city, wrecking the building and destroying a large part of the contents. A gasoline lamp, which MT, Kemmis has been using for some time, was not working right and he was trying to fix it. Suddenly stream of gasoline squirted out all over Mir. Kemmis and toward the open door of a hot stove. A quick blaze and an explosion follow ed and Mir. Kemmis found himself en- veloped in a mass of flames, which he subdued with blanket, but not until he was severely burned about the face and hands. Help arrived almost in- stantly and he was taken to Spores' barber shop and Dr. Rogers was called to attend to his injuries.
 Meanwhile the alarm had been sound ed and Hose company No. ?, closely followed by No. 1, came tearing up the street. A stream of water through u 21S in. hose had the fire under control in very short time.
 The loss to Mir. Kemmis is now esti. mated at sl ,oOO; damage to building is about s2OO. John Haho, who keeps a cigar and fruit store next door, started to move out and had part of his goods slightly damaged by water, told us that his only real loss was two pair of pants.
 The principal cause of general solici' tude is the physical injuries to Mir, Kemmis, who is most highly esteem ed citizen of our town. He was re- moved to apartments in the rear of Mir. Christ Fox's store, where he received every attention. This morning he was taken to the St. Ann Hospital in this city,
