Last Saturday Marshal j. B.
Holt handed his resignation to Mayor
Staley, to take effect Monday morn
ing. The resignation was accepted
and Deputy Miller was at once given
the star of the office. Mr.. Holt's
reason for resigning was that the sal
ay was not commensurate with the
duties required, the recent order of the
council requiring the marshal to keep
clean all the cross walks being the
straw that broke the camel's back.
Mr., Holt had it figured out that it
would require eight hours work every
Sunday morning before church time to
live up to the order of the council re-
gsrding the cleaning of walks leading
to the various churches.

ELECTRIC PROPOSITION
STRIKES NEW SNAG
No Special Election for Sale of
System Can be Held.

Even with the signing of the con-
tract between the city of Pullman and
Mr.. Shields for the Moscow Electric
Light and Power CO., and the putting
up of cash bond of $1,000 by the lat
ter, it appears that the present project
for the bringing of the current to Pull
man may be blocked through the ina
bility of the city to authorize the sale
OF the plant. The contract provides
that the city shall hold a special cleo
tion, to authorize the sale, but the law
says that such an election must be
held at the time of a general election,
and no general election will be held
till next fall, therefore the city is un-
able to deliver the goods" at the
time specified, and the contract will
be ineffective.
Mr.. Shields is expected in the city
today, when an effort will be made to
remove the snags.

meets to have the new service in oper-
alton by March 1st, a part of the ma
terial now being on the ground.
The middle room on the ground floor
of the Flatiron block has been rented,
and the central office will be moved to
that location. All the old phones now
in use in the city will be taken out,
and new and up-to-date instruments
installed, the new ones being of the
"common battery" kind, all batteries
being at the central office. No ring
ing will be required for central, the
taking down of the receiver serving
the purpose of the usual central call.
The new phone is much smaller and
neater than the one now in use.

THE INCONSISTENCIES S DAUGHTER.
The Moonshiner's Daughter" will
be the attraction at the Auditorium
on Wednesday evening, Jan. 81. From
the excellent satisfaction which the
play has been giving elswehere it
surely must not alone be a thoroughly
enjoyable production but positive
meritorious melodrama from every
standpoint. The play is a charming
love story set in an atmosphere of the
hills of Kentucky and Tennessee. 1t
deals with the lives of those sturdy
specimens of mankind for whom the
government has officers constantly on
the lookout, the moonshiners. There
is very realistic encounter between
moonshiners and revenue men in which
the latter try to destroy the still and
capture the owners. The mysterious
execution of the moonshiners, the
lynching of Negro Sam are all vividly
and startlingly portrayed The com
edy element fairly bubbles over with
merriment of the good wholesome
kind.
