After having instructed the city at

the understanding that Mayor W. H.
Davis was anxious that it be adopted
as soon as possible, members of the
city council have been greatly surprised
to learn that the mayor is now against
the ordinance and viii veto it If pre-
scented in the council.
The probabilities are that the mayor
will exercise his veto as the ordinance
is to be drawn up and presented.
It is not generally known that the
mayor objects to the city auditor
ordinance. He has been backing for
it all the time and on numerous &C.
casiOns has told the cOuncllmen what
a good thing it would be If a city
auditor would be put IN and given the
power to check on the two offices of
city treasurer and city clerk and make
it possible to show up a daily balance
between the two departments.
Now the mayor comes out and says
not so. There is no use in having a

nicipal system of bookkeeping installed

SNOW IS PILING UP.
It Has Been Falling for Past Twelve
Hours at Ellis.

A blizzard prevails today in western
Kansas. the most severe for this time
of the season in many years. The east
ern boundary OF the storm appears to
be Ellis, Kan, over 200 miles west of
here. It has been showing steadily for
70 hours in that part Of the state and
the snow driven by a heavy wind is pill
ing UP in the cuts, stopping railway
traffic and playing havoc with telephone
and telegraph wires.
All trains are late and wire commune
cation with points west of Ellis was for
a time lost completely shortly after
noon today. A hard cold rain preceded
the snow for "a hours. It is believed
that heavy loss to stock which were
caught unprotected on the plains, will
result
