served the party was shown through
the prison and the needs Of the institu-

necessity for the introduction OF a

cts in the field this spring. The Tax
payers, which will stand for licensing

~ill be pledged not to grant saloon
licenses
1t is the same old wet and dry fight
An effort was made to keep a fight
out by putting up one ticket made up
Of the best business men of both par
ties.
This effort was championed by men
who believed it was impossible to make
the town dry, and IL that were the case
then the next best thing was to get the
best possible men, morally and in q
business way, in the city council.
There is no question that If this
arrangement had been effected an ex-
cellent set Of aldermen could have been
selected.
There is no fight business men hate
% much ~ this city election, and it ID
practically impossible to get business
man to take 3 nomination on either
ticket.
But there are men on both sides who
would not stand for the one ticket
plan. so We will have the fight.

WANTS TATToolNe STOPPED,

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
 It has just been learned through letters received from the navy yard at Norfolk, Va, that Miss Helen Gould intends using all her power to stop tattooing in the United States navy. 1t Is known that Miss Gould has always been much inter ested in the welfare of Uncle Sans tars, but the new move Is Q surprise, as the custom of tattooing has been going on among seafaring men for ages.
 In the navy, among the first things a recruit does is 10 have the American eagle or flag tattooed on his arm. He is told by old salts that he could never ex- pect to get further than the foreeastle un- less he was properly tattooed. Miss Gould, however, thinks the habit perni- cious and Is now trying to find some means to take out the marks of India ink and also offers substantial prizes to sasl- ors who will remain in the navy five years without being tattooed. The prize consists of $50 in cash and an order for $50 worth of clothing.
 The first to enter the competition is Edward Hauser of Cincinnati. When he entered the navy some months ago he refused to be tattooed and only a few dfys ago he heard of Miss Gould's offer. He says he will stick 1t out five years and get the reward.

From tho New York World
 BN THE future if you receive a call
 from the United States marshal you will be wise if you throw up your hands and go along withou. any fuss. For it is more than likely that the Uni ted States will be represented by MT. William Barclay Masterson, better known as "Bat," all round bad man and gun fighter"
 The official announcement has been made that Bat is to be appointed a deputy for this district. and United States Marshal HenlSel expects him to drop in most any day now .o take the oath of office. Eat" owes his appoint ment directly to President Roosevelt. who is his friend and admirer
 The President met Masterson when he was ranching in the west, and they have been friends ever since. Masterson was in Washington for a week year ago and had a daily chat with the President about the old days in the west. Master son is a friend of Capt Seth Bullock. an other of the Presidents intimates from the west
 Bat" Masterson is credited with twen- weight notehes on the handle of his gun" indicating that he has killed that number of men. Bat" doesn't do much ! talking about these episodes in his ca reer contempting himself with saying that whatever shooting he has done has been in the strict performance of his duty
 "I don't believe in fighting except when have to-" says Bat"
 About 1877 he was made marshal of Dodge City. Kan, by the class of gam bers known out there as respectable, which meant that they would not stand for crooked game, Pats task was to drive out the crooks and he proceeded to do it in the most efficacous manner at the point of his gun. There were run ming street fights, in which pistols rang out like musketry.
 Bat" cut the first notch in his gun at a settlement known as Adobe Wall on the Canadian river, and it was only the fact that his gun spoke an instant before the other fellows that saved his life
 Ilal saHlc nl5uA bdiiu oi iiuldhs' leu by a renegade negro. attacked Master son and his men, and were not put to flight until Masterson put q bullet through the negro's heart.
 Masterson's greatest record as man Killer was made when six cowboys killed his brother in Dodge City. Then they took possession of dance hall nd be- gan to "shdot 1t up"
 Into the crowd walked Eat"
 "All Of yen get out of here except the fellows that killed my brother' he com manded.
 There was only one movement and that was for guns, but Bat killed the six cowboys.

Superintendent of Police. George ould had been receiving a number of letters believed to be from an insane man who threatened to shoot him on sight.
 You had better get a man to look after you who wouldn't be afraid 10 shoot up
 Broadway at the noon hour and who would hit what he shot at," was the ad- vice given by Byrnes.
 Bat" got the job. The crank was fin ally arrested outside Helen Goulds house. In 1902 Masterson was married with James A. Sullivan. J. P. Saunders and Leopold Frank, charged with having crooked gambling implements in their possession. A Chicago man named Snow, stopping at the Waldorf, declared that the men had swindled him out of $hOO0 in Chicago, and had followed him to New
 York; thinking him an easy mark. Mas terson proved he had nothing to do with the affair and was merely fined Sl0 for | carrying his famous gun with the twen- | weight notches. He later got the gun | back
