still stick to the old doctrine of meas
ures and not men.
Chicago today is full of sympathy
for Mr.. Dunno, the gentleman and fam
lily man, but at the same time it feels re-
lief that it is to be rid of fads and fan
cies, freaks and visionary doctrines.
Improvement at Once.
One of the results of the election
it is thought is the reorganization of
the democratic party on sane and SEN
sible lines. The promise is renewed
that no time will be lost in putting
into effect the rehabilitation of street
car service contemplated by the or
dinances. Officials of the City rail-
way and the Union Traction interests
said the measures will be accepted as
soon as the necessary arrangements
can be made.
Plans for the reconstruction of the
south side lines are being drawn up.
North and west side Improvements will
be taken up so soon as the reorganiza-
tion of the Union Traction company is
effected.
The first step toward enforcing the
terms of the ordinances will be the
appointment by Mayor Busse of the
city's representative on the board of
supervising engineers, of which Bion
]. Arnold is chairman.

TO BUILD HOUSES
BY THE WHOLESALE
Groman Smith is in Town to
Close Purchase of the
Franklin Addition.

Mr.. Groman Smith of Philadelphia is
in the city again today and is about
to close up a deal by which his COM
pany, which is a rural Improvement
concern, becomes the owner of the
Franklin addition in Conkey avenue.
1t is the purpose of Mr.. Smith and
his associates to begin the building of
fine residences in this city and an ef-
fort will be made by them to supply
the growing demand.
This is the first property shat has
been purchased by this concern but
their activities will not end here. They
expect to keep on buying subdivisions
until there are enough houses for every
one who wants to rent or buy
good thing about this concern is
the fact that they do not build cheap
grade of houses but make it a practice
to put up residences of the better
grade. This Will be a goo1 thing for
the city and will compel others to do
likewise.
With twenty-five or thirty new resi-
dences in Conkey avenue property in
this vicinity is expected to boom this
spring. Mr.. Smith is also much in
terested in north side and Robertsdale
property and may buy over there be-
fore long with the expectation OF
building houses for the employees Of the
Western Glucose company.
If Mr.. Smith carries out his plans hi:
company viii be a boon to Hammond
and should be encouraged in every 10
cality where houses are to be built fo
the business men have been of tn,
opinion all along that Is there wer.
/ houses enough to accommodate tn
| people, the population OF Harmon,
could be increased by at least 1000
/ inhabitants.

Petition Has 129 Signers;
Will Submit Demands

MAY RAISE SALARIES
Question of Increased Pay to Police
men and Firemen Referred to
Finance Committee.

East end dry district" agitation and
the discussion of raising the city fire
men and policemen's salaries and maxi
ing appropriation of 5000 for the
city treasurer took up most OF the
time at the regular council meeting
last night
The dry district" delegation appeared
in the council chambers with as strong
number as on the preceding council
night and 1t was in more of an argu-
mentative mood than on the former oc-
casion. The postponement of the meet
ing with the license committee the
night before made them suspicious of
the license committee, although that
body was eXonerated when it was ex-
planned that the chairman of the COM
mite Mr.. Pascaly was sick with rheu-
matism
Lewis H. Snyder of s14 State street,
acted as informally spokesman for the
whole delegation. Mr.. Snyder said:
No Wonder Some Were Dead.
I'm answer to our first petition which
had sixty-nine signers and which was
permitted to drag along for year and
a half, we were told some time ago
that half its signers were dead and
that the other half had moved away.
On our new petition we have. however,
129 signers instead and it does not in
clude twenty-five people whom we were
unable to see. We are willing to sub
NIT our demands to any just test We
are even satisfied to accept the propo-
sition that we must secure the names
of two-thirds of the property holders
excluding those who live in the dis.
trict. but who are not property hold
ers. We are anxious that the com
mittee set an early date for anothe
meeting as a saloon has gone up Il
our district and it is rumored tha
others are planning to come in.
A meeting TO be held between tn
dry district" delegates and tn
license committee will be set for tn
near future, probably by the end o
this week.

ward, who had the temerity to oppose
Dunne's ideas Of traction, beat the
head of the ticket by over 5000 in his
own ward. P. H. Moynihan of South
Chicago was returned with a plurality
of 848. John Brennan, another gray
wolf. was elected to the eighteenth
ward by 1904, and John Powers was
elected with a plurality of 3,23S. Mi
chael McInerney returns to office as
representative of the thirtieth ward,
which is back of the yards.
From Local Point of View.
There could be no better indication
of the fact that Chicago and Ham
mond are growing closer together ev-
cry year than the local interest that
was manifested in the election last
night.
1t would have been difficult to con-
vince the out of town observer that
Hammond was not having an election
of its own, so great was the interest
shown. Crowds of men congregated
on the street corners at all times dur
ing the day and talked the situation
over with as much animation as If it
was a question of liberal ordinances
versus strap hangers in this city.
There were heated arguments and
the great amount of money that
changed hands indicated that in the
minds of the Hammond people al
least, there was no certainty of the
outcome.
! Chief among the Dunno hackers was
the genial F. S. Carter, who backed up
his belief in the I. NJ. o. candidate with
his good money, and on the other hand
Ben Bell represented the Busse ad-
herents and was hilariously happy
last night when he was vindlcated ir

the various wagers he had won, al
though he took what bettors called
the worst of the price.

The city council met in ad journed
session last night with Mayor smyth
and Aldermen Marquetts Peterson,
Richholt, Reade, Horner, Slattery,
Taylor and Wilcox present.
The matter of the street lights be-
ing out on a number of occasions was
brought up and after some debate the
police were instructed to report all
such remissnesses.
The condition of the fire depart
ment coming up, Alderman Reades
read a commune cation to the ire
committee as follows
To the Honorable Members Of the
Committee on Fire Department of
the City Council of Bismarck, n.
d.:
Gentlemen: Being an interested
observer Of the condition into which
B the fire department of the city Of
# Bismarck has drifted during the past
few years, and ever having a deep
desire to see this most important
3 branch of the city government main
tained at the highest degree of eff
ficiency, i beg your indul gence to inn
pose upon your committee a few sug-
gestions as to the matters which have
arisen during the past few weeks.
and which have awakened the move
ment among business men Of the city,
& as well as members Of the city eeun-
ell. $
At the beginning Of the present
city administr alton the writer pre-
pared and had read before the city
council d paper entitled the estab-
lishment and equipment and main.

ram an who contributes his

fireman, who contributes his time
and services free of charge, should do
more than the business man who has
thousands Of dollars at stake. for
one, think not.
i am glad this mater has at last
arrived at such a stage as to attract
the attention Of the business interests
Of this city before. perhaps, the
awakening might come too late and
a great amount Of property be swept
away by FIRE My own idea IS that.
the city council is not the place to
work out the detailed problems for
the betterment Of the f1refighting
branch Of the municipal government
Of any city, and much less Of a city
which depends, as we do, entirely on
d system Of volunteer service.
There should be a man at the head.
Of the department who has the con
fidence of the hremen, who has the
eonfd and respect of the mayor
and city council, and the confidence
lsof all citizens, as to his ability TO
direct the men under him and COM
mand them with frmness at fires and
| at all times. Such a man should for
mulate his plans, and define his poll
Ecies, and then so before the city
council where there will be little fear
4 y ~
of being turned down in any reason
liable demand he might make for the
/ betterment OF the department. MY
/ experience has been, that whenever
the frmen Of this city have gone to

\ duty. and i am sure that this counci
s. is willing and ready to act in this all

it that the several organized fire com

they so desire, be requested to com
forward with proposition as to VIVA

in my mind but what the present cit
council will act.

5 / as this city has no rehensive Gil
