The board of health are expected to
meet tomorrow to act on the resigna-
ton of j. w. Sarginson, plumbing in
spector for the city. He sent in his
resignation some time ago.
There are now four candidates in the
field for the position and each claims
that the place will go to him.
James Maxwell, Edward Kelley, w.
c. Mct,wen and Ethan Allen all have
hopes. Edward Kelley is by many
considered to have the best chances.
He is a member of neither the Journey
men plumbers association or of the
master plumbers association, and, as
far as can be learned, has no interest
in the strike question, now before the
two associations.
James Maxwell is a member of no
organization but has been fighting the
master plumbers for three years. w.
c. McEwen is member of the
journeymen's association, and would
naturally stand for the interests Of
his party. Ethan Allen is one of the
boss plumbers of the city and is mem
Der of the masters association. The
fact that Kelley is on neither side in
the strike leads many to predict him as
the winner.

BOYS ARRESTED

Robert Ball, aged IL years, was
caught this morning by an employe of
the Palace Dry Goods company, tax
ing balls and trinkets from the base
ment of the store. Ban at the time
claimed that three other boys had sent
him to do the deed and were waiting
in the street for him. An employee
was sent out and caught John Madden,
aged IL and Roger Berg aged H. The
other boy was not found.
Madden and Berg have been taken
to the station before. Last Tuesday,
it is claimed, two boys took papers
from one of the newspaper offices
without paying for them and sold them
on the street. Complaints have
reached the police department that
small boys have broken windows in
different parts of the town, and the
officials think they now have the
guilty ones. Aa attempt will be made
to send the boys TO the reform school.
They have made a practice of staying
away from home and have slept in
drygoods boxes in different parts OF
the city for several weeks.

heartened by his inability to let
liquor alone. he resigned his position
