MR.. PHILLIPS
Is INDIGNANT
THIRD WARD COUNCILMAN RE-
SENTS sLANDERoUs ARTICLE
IN THE BOOMERANG.
Says He Will Endeavor to Stop Further
Action on Water Question If Boom
erang Can Name Fifty Subscribers
Who Pay Taxes On $1,000 vaIua-
ton Who Oppose Bonds.

Councilman George Z. Phillils, the
democratic member from the Third
ward, called at The Republican office
this morning and expressed in no I'M
certain terms his ~displeasure at the
~villifying article published in last ev-
ening's Boomerang regarding the city
council and the water question. Mr..
Phillips stated that the members of the
city council are giving the people their
very best services and this, too, with
out compensation worthy of mention.
He says the council is exercising its
best judgment on the water question
and believes that there should be some
show of graft before grating is
charged. Mr.. Phillips says that if the
Boomerang can name fifty of its sub
scribers who are paying taxes on a val
uation of $1,000 who will says that they
disapprove Of a new water system he
will use his efforts to stop matters
right where they are.
Councilman Phillips gives it as his
opinion that the article in the Boone
rang, if not actually written by Mr.. D.
IN. Stickney, was inspired by him, and
he knows that it vas Mr.. Stickney who
was the first nan to raise the unjust
and untruthful cry of graft. The ar
ticle in question, he believes, vas not
intended so much as a thrust at the pro-
posed new water system as it was al
the editor of The Republican, Mr..
Chaplin, which was plainly shown by
the heading. The whole thing was
without reason and wholly unwar-
ranted.
Mr.. Phillips says that the council
fully realizes the enormous task it is
undertaking and hat if the bond issue
carries it means a tremendous amount
of work, with comparatively no com
pensation and no graft whatever. At
best the position of councilman is a
thankless position and he is willing at
any time to step aside and let Mr..
Stickney or any other carping critic
take his place whom the people desire.
whom the people desire take his place.

GIVEN POISON IN
CALOMEL TABLET

A dispatch from Rock Springs says:
T. o. futile, manager of the Della
Pringle Stock company, which has
been touring Wyoming, is authority
for the statement that Miss Pringle
came within an ace of being killed
through a mistake made by a Cum
berland, Wyo., druggist, who sold her
tablets containing corrosive sublimate
instead of calomel, which the young
actress wished TO take. Miss Pringle
swallowed one of the tablets while in
the opera house there and Immediately
became deathly i'll and would probably
have died had not the other members
of the company rushed to her assist
ance with emetics and applied other
heroic measures. State Chemist knight
analysed the box of tablets and found
five of them to contain mercurous
chloride or "calomel," and nineteen to
contain mercuric chloride or corrosive
sublimate."

ENLISTED MEN OF SECOND REGI-

Vessel-lowa House Opposed to
Firecrackers on Fourth of July.

Denver, Colo, Feb. 16.-The officers
at Fort Logan believe that the ex-
plosion of the Internal machine in San
Francisco, and that had been connected
with the Second infantry, was simply
the packing Of a large can of smoke
less powder in the baggage of the
troops. They believe, too, that it was
an accident and no harm was intend
ed. Among the enlisted men, how
ever, there is a feeling that the Chi
nese were responsible for the machine,
and that these Asiatic servants con-
cocted the devilish continuance for the
purpose of blowing up the Meade and
the entire regiment.
