Mr.. Marshall. II have been up to Ian

my way home to see the governor, the
auditor, and the state superintendent of
education. My visit has nothing what
ever to do with the investigation of my
administration, which is pending. I
suppose the investigation will begin on
August go That is the latest date set.
I was ready for it at any time. I am
not afraid of an investigation and it
will be a relief to have the charges
which have been made through the
newspapers and on the streets of
Hutchinson for the past two years
thoroughly sifted. don't care to dis
cuss the merits of the controversy. That

DRENNING IS EXCITED.
Says Members of City Council Are
Like SpaniarIls.

"They are just like Spaniards. To-
morrow, tomorrow.
f. G.. Dreaming, city attorney, de-
livered his opinion of the city coun-
ell in the above words.
The city attorney, who is also well
known as Togo Dreaming, and whose
character we'll BELTS the family of
Togo, so we'll known in Japan, has
taken down his sword from the wall
and donned fighting garments.
The city attorney is vexed at the
seeming attempt of the council to de-
lay investigation into the Sixth ward
all the other councils" continued Mr..
Dreaming. They are all of them re-
luctant about jumping into this thing
and clearing it up. You have no idea
how much prodding it took on my
part to keep alive this Fifth ward
sewer matter. The council is looking
after 1t but 1T would probably have
been forgotten If something had not
been done to urge them on. Now
when this Sixth ward sewer business
comes up they want to put it off.
What's the use about hurrying,' they
say. Why, If we don't do something
pretty soon the people who know
about these things will forget all about
what they know. Besides people ex-
pect us to do something about these
complaints and do 1t right away.
But all councils are alike, they all
feel like showing off these things on
the next body of councilmen and let
ting the next administration straighten
them out"
The city attorney has filed with the
city clerk notice to the council that
he should have the exact cost of re-
construction of the Fifth ward sewer
west of Polk street on Huntington
avenue and lateraIs running off from
Huntingdon avenue.
Grant Howell, a former sewer in
spector employed on the Sixth ward
sewer, said, with reference to the con-
struction: IT can only speak for the
work that had in charge. In every
instance that part was done accord
ing to specifications. 1 was furnished
with blue prints and everything was
checked UP and work done in a way
that it should be done. I had a little
trouble with the contractors, but it
did not amount to anything. All con-
tractors are a great deal alike and
what 1 had to do with them was the
usual kind of trouble you meet with
in all contracts"
Judge c. z. Foote. one of the prop
erty owners complaining, said that a
large delegation of the property own
ers in that part of the city would be
present at the council meeting this
evening to tell the council their trou-
bles. The meeting this evening will
consider matters with special refer
ence to both the Fifth ward and Sixth
ward.

Capitalism and crime, IL is true,
have been allies before now in the
United States, but society at large has
hitherto been aimed at, rather than
the individual. Still, all things are
possible in the land of trusts, and 1t is
well that so valuable life should not
be exposed to any risks that possibly
may be avoided"
