The publication Of the decision of
the supreme court of the United States
in the case of Editor Patterson of
Denver indicates that much of the
newspaper comment on that import

be offered after decision is rendered
In the matter at issue, and not before.
In the majority decision Justice

AMERICAN PERFUMES.

If anybody retains the impression
that the perfume bottle has gone the
way Of the autograph album the meet
ing last week of the American associa-
tion Of perfumery manufacturers will
disabuse their minds. Autographs come
and go, but perfumes are no such
ephemeral things. Gifts of delicate
perfumes were tokens of respect and
homage before Joseph was carried
down into Egypt ,and the people of the
United States to this lay spend ten
million dollars a year for musk, ciyet,
castor, ambergris and the myriad other
natural and artificial otioriZing agents
that fill the market 1t has been he
belief that real perfumes of orange
blossoms, volets tube roses and cassia
could come from nowhere but the
orient, and American labels may in the
past have reflected this notion TO
degree The American manufacturers
refuse to acknowledge that the per-

they. Our tendency to follow Europe

AN EARLY VOYAGE.

Just seventy-four years ago this
week the steamer Yellowstone, first
steam vessel to navigate the Missouri
river it's full length, was slowly work
ing it's way up along the shores Of
Otoe, Cass and Sarpy counties, stop
ping every day to cut wood to feed it's
furnaces and sometimes stopping on a
sand bar. Among the passengers on
board this vessel was Prince Maxi
MILAN, German nobleman of wealth,
culture, scientific taste and a passion
for travel. AT his own expense he had
fitted out an expedition from Germany
having in the company artists and
scientists, to paint and classify the
then unknown wonders Of the great
west. The results of his travels in
this region were two large illustrated
volumes and an art book of steel sIi-

Committee Made a Report to
The City Council at Its
Session Monday Night.
NOT ALL THAT WAS ASKED.
PETITION ASKED FOR AN IN.
CREASE FROM $50 TO $40 A
MONTH BUT THE REPORT PLAc-
ES IT AT $65 PER MONTH.

The committee to which the petit
ton of the members of the fire de-
partment for increased wages was re-
ferred, reported Monday evening to
ed that the chiefs salary be increased
from $500 to 5000 per year and that
the firemen who now draw $50 per
month have their wages increased to
s65 per month.
The committee also recommended
that in the future when new men are
taken into the fire department SER
vice their salaries be s55 per month
for the first six months, $50 per
month for the second six months and
after that time $65 per month. The
committee stated that these wages
were recommended after receiving
statistics from other cities in this part
of the country of the same size as
Richmond.
In the petition presented to council
the firemen asked that their salaries
be increased from $50 to $40 per
month"; which is the salary each mem
ber of the police force now receives.
The report of the committee was re-
ferred to the committee on ordinances
which was instructed to draw up an
ordinance covering the report and
submit the ordinance at the next coun-
Gil meeting.

Those Who Have Bought Mar
ket Stalls Believe the City
Should Aid Them.
SALE NETTED CITY $5O4.
COUNCIL DISCUSSES THE HUcK-
STER FEATURE AND AN ORDl-
NANCE TO COVER 1T WAS PRE-
SENTED MONDAY NIGHT.

The sale of stalls at the improved
South Sixth street market house was
held Monday afternoon. Twenty-six
of the seventy-four stalls were sold,
netting the city $504.5O Those who
purchased stalls were unanimously of
the opinion that the city should pro-
tect them from hucksters who had no
stall privileges and who could, under
an existing ordinance, sell their sup
plies at the market house any market
day by paying the market master 10
cents The stall owners. protested that
this is an injustice to them.
Monday evening at the council meet
lection of the stall owners was intro
duced by Councilman Deuker His or
dinance was to amend the existing or
dinance and it provided for the pay.
ment of 30 centA per day by those
who did not have stall privileges at the
market house. City Treasurer MINI
rod Johnson. who acted as clerk at the
stall sale held in the afternoon. stated
that the majority of these hucksters
sold their supplies at the market
house and he suggested that the ordi-
nance introduced by Mr.. Deuker, be
amended to provide for fee of 30
cents every market day in the week ex-
cept Saturdays and that a fee of 20
cents be charged on that day
Might Be Too Much.
Mr.. Deuker thought this might be
too much and would have the effect of
driving away desirable class of gard
enerS who did not have stall privileges
Waterman stated that
he did not think the rates suggested by
Mr.. Johnson to be excessive. but Sug-
gested that the rates at the east end
market house be made % cents for ev-
cry market day in the week. Saturday
included. City Controller Parry sug-
gested that fee of 30 cents. Saturdays
at both markets and fee of So cents
for every other day at both markets
be charged.

There Is Little Doubt But
That the Seventh Will Be
Made Into Two.
ORDINANCE is PRESENTED.
1T WENT TO SECOND READING
AND WILL COME UP FOR FINAL
ACTION AT FIRST MEETING mi
JULY.

After due consideration City Attor-
ney Study and the committee on fran
chises and ordinances have decided
that it is possible for council to
create an additional ward to the city.
This step will be taken by council at
the first meeting held in July.
At council meeting Monday even
ing the committee on franchises and
ordinances submitted an ordinance
to divide the Seventh ward and create
an additional and separate ward.
Section one of this ordinance pro-
vides that all the territory of the
Seventh ward lying north Of the cen
ter of the main track of the Indiana
polls division of the p, c., c. & st. l..
railroad be made and created into
ward to be known as the Eighth ward.
1t also provides that all the territory
lying south of the main track of the
tho Seventh ward. Section two of
the ordinance provides that it shall
be in force from and after its pass
age.
To Second Reading.
The ordinance was given its first
and second readings Monday evening
and on motion it was then laid over
for final consideration at the first
meeting in July. As provided by law
the city clerk was instructed to lave
the ordinance published once each
week for three consecutive weeks, the
last publication to be made ''at least
thirty days before the next city cleo
ton. AS the next city election will
not be hello until 1909 there will be no
difficulty in observing the law in this
respect The vote on the ordinance
will be held when council meets the
first Monday in July at promptly 1880
o'clock.
1t is Almost certain that the addi-
tional ward ordinance will be passed.
The creation of the Eighth ward will
increase the representation in the city
council two members, a councilman
from the new ward and a councilman
at-large. This means that a general
election throughout the city will have
to be held. An additional councilman
at-large is made necessary by the
state law which provides that there
shall be half as many councilmen-at-
large as there are councilmen. With
the representative from the Eighth
ward there will be eight councilmen.
At the present time there are seven
and three counciimen-at-
large.

City Officials Going to Munich
pal Gathering at Logans-
port Must Pay Expenses.
SURPRISED BY OGBORN.
THINKS OFFICIALS SALARIES
ARE LARGE ENOUGH FOR THEM
TO PAY THEIR WAY-LAUGH AT
WETTIG,S EXPENSE.

An ordinance appropriating 500 for
the expenses of city officers who desir-
ed to attend the meeting of the Indi-
ana Municipal league at LoganSport on
June II, Is. 10, 20. was introduced at
council meeting Monday evening by
Councilman Englebert. but was defeat
ed by unlocked for opposition. On a
motion to pass the ordinance under a
suspension of the rules the little outing
planned for the office holders was
raped in the head by a vote of 6 ayes
to noes. To consider measure it
must receive a unanimous vote at first
reading.
Mr. Bartel stated after the ordinance
had been introduced that he would op-
pose it if any attempt was made to ap-
propriate money for the expense of
sending delegates to the meeting of the
National Municipal league. Mr.. Bar
tel stated that he thought the most
benefit would be derived from the state
meeting
The question then came up as to
whether 500 was enough money to
cover the expenses of all the city Off
decided that 500 would last about five
minutes if all the office holders decid-
ed to invade Logansport. SO Mr.. Deu-
ker proposed that the mayor name a
committee of three councilmen to at
tend the meeting.
Mayor Stepped Aside.
Mayor Schillinger blushed furiously
Nsr.t
your own delegates said His Honor,
who knows when and how to side step.
At this juncture of the discussion Mr..
Ogborn broke his sphinx-like silence.
maintained for many moons and
sprung the real sensation of the even
ing. In passionate tones he stated
that he opposed the ordinance because
it provided for the expense of city
officers Mr. Ogborn thought, and
he knew the grand old third ward
stood at his back, that Mayor Schil-
linger and the members of the board
of public works received large enough
the event that they desired to attend
the Logansport meeting.
Mr. Bartel moved that the ordinance
be laid over until the next council
meeting, but withdrew his motion
when he learned that the league meet
ing would be about half over by that
date. The vote was then taken and
the ordinance killed. Among those
who voted against it was Councilman
Wettig. Just before council adjourn
sd he asked Mayor SchIlinger if coun
Gil did not intend to appropriate money
for the expense of delegation to the
Logansport meeting. Mr.. Wettig
took his seat Immediately amid a roar
Of laughter.
