tracts for boarding the laborers after
their arrival there. They will not be
permitted to in any way be inter
mediaries between laborers and the

Directors of Country Club Adopt Reso-
buttons of Sympathy.

At meeting of the board of direc-
tors of the Country club, held on July
II, 1905, the following resolution was
unanimously adopted:
We have learned with sincere sor-
row of the death of Mrs. Grace Norton
Fassler, the wife of our friend, the
president of this club. Her death has
taken from among us a noble, loving
and true wife, a kind mother, and a
genial companion, scarcely as yet in
the prime of womanhood, whose SUI
perior charms of person and character
have endeared her to a wide circle of
friends.
We mourn her loss deeply and ex>
tend to the husband and family the
sympathy that flows from hearts full
of sorrow and compassion for their
great bereavement.
The funeral of Mrs. Fassler was held
from her late home ON Tyler street at
p. m. today and was attended by
large number of friends.

DRENNINC TO REST.
Then He Promises to Make Things
Lively.

When City Attorney Dreaming gets
back from mis- vacation refreshed and
revamped there is going to be some
thing doing for the jointists.
Beware, jointists. beware!
The city attorney will leave after the
regular council meeting the first of
August for a trip of rest and recrea-
ton. He will first go to his old home
at Wathena, Kansas, and from there
go to Chicago, the great lakes and
Canada.
He expects to have enough surplus
energy to burn when he returns, so
that he can stir up things.
He said this morning that he ex-
pected to go after some of these vio-
lators of the prohibitory law upon his
return and go after them hard. He
expects that some of his enthusiasm
his friends will be endowed with sim
liar qualities, sufficient to gather to-
gether some of the evidence for him
upon which to force a conviction.
II expect to do something when
get back said he. 81 am tired out
and feel the need of a little rest and
I expect to take a little trip of recrea-
ton. Things are clearing up now in
this office; we have got most of the
larger things out of the way. From
now on there will be more or less sim
ply routine work. I can than devote
more time to other questions. I ex-
pect and want to go after these joint
lists on my return, and go after them
hard. You can't expect to sit here and
not do anything half way. You are
either in position to make a stir and
go after them hard or else you have to
sit. down and do-nothing. If I never
hold another public office as the re-
suit of this fight still expect to con-
tinue to try to enforce the law. don't
believe that conditions are better than
they have been and if anything I be-
in anticipation of more lax conditions
than ever. I have learned that a new
liquor depot has been built down here
at either First and Adams or First and
Jefferson. They have an Office and
facilities for storing beer. This looks
like they eXpected business
