TAGGART MAY HAND
IN HIS RESIGNATION
TO CITY COUNCIL
Well Defined Rumor to This
Effect Was Circulated on
Streets of City Today But
Could Not Be Confirmed.
WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN IF
THIS ACTION is TAKEN.
1t Would Fall Upon the Should
ers of Mayor SChiIIInger to
Name His SUCCESSOR c.
w. Merrill May Get 1t.

There was Ii we'll defined rumOr cur
rent today, but which those in position
to know were loath either to confirm
or deny, that John F. Tdggart, city
clerk, will tender his resignation at
the meeting of the council tonight.
In case of Mr.. Taggarts resignation
it will be the duty Of Mayor Richard
Schillinger to name his successor. 1t
naturally follows that a democrat will
get the place, although by rights it
belongs to the republicans, and would
be republican if the council had any
thing to do with the matter. The tip
has gone out that c. w. Merrill, presi-
dent of the board of public works, will
he named by the mayor to succeed
Taggart, as this would be a substantial
advance in salary for Mr.. Merrill, who
receives but 81 900 as a member of the
board, while the clerkship pays $l,7Oo.
There would then be vacancy on the
board of works which would also be
filled by the appointment of demo
crat Who the mayor has in mind for
Merrills' shoes, is not known, but
there are plenty OF willing victims

Underdoggism does not arise wholly
from condition you find underdogs in
the very seats of the mighty. but from
a winsome quality Of mind which is in
herent. You may know the underdog
by a certain negative attitude. an alb
sence of assertion, a denial of superior
ity, u smiling air of seeing the humor
OF the situation, droll hint of a wink
at his own discontinue. Some of
them, it is true. do make the mistake
Of trying to be something else. They
put on an imposing front and in a
momentary food of favor and fortune
pose as dogs rampant. Yet even in that
lofty attitude the tail may be observed
between the legs.-Atlantic.

This region is a level plain. upon the
surface Of which arise in strange con-

depths immense volumes Of water

tain the usual chemical properties OF
thermal springs and are used for bath
ing and drinking with excellent effects.

Of the waters that once welled over

Real American Aristocracv

1t was through the Declaration OF
Independence that we Americans ac-
knowledge the eternal inequality Of
man, for by ii we abolished cut and
dried aristocracy. We had seen little
men artificially held up in high places
and great men artifciaIly held down in
low places. and our own justice loving
hearts abhorred this violence to human
nature. Let the best man win" That
is Americas word. That Is true democ-
raCy. And true democracy and true
aristocracy are one and the same thing.

Sweet Cane From a Far Country.

1t has been supposed that sugar cane
was the sweet cane from a far coun-
try" mentioned in Jeremiah vi, 90.
and in Isaiah xiii. "a. According to
Strabo, Nearchus. the admiral of Alex
ander the Great, describes kind OF
honey" from an Indian reed" which
was probably sugar cane. Europe
seems to be indebted for the plant to
the Saracens, who introduced 1t into
Rhodes, Cyprus, Sicily. Crete and Spain
In the ninth century. The crusaders of
the twelfth century found it in Syria.
The Spaniards and Portuguese carried
it to Madeira and the Canaries in the
fifteenth century. and on the discovery
of America it was taken to the West
Indies.-New York American.

Coughs.

Every person who coughs should not

in bad way. Experience has con
WINGED us of a fact that there are two
distinct kinds of coughs-one proceed

air tubes. as in a cold, the other pro
ceeding from efferyescence in the
stomach The lungs cough Is a symp-
tom which all know to require atten.
ton. lest serious consequences ensue
The stomach cough is a much more
simple matter and may easily be got
quit of. 1t is caused by the food and
drink which are put into the stomach
efferyescing and producing an irrita-
ton. A knowledge of this fact ought
TO lead persons SO affected to ponder a
little on the nature of their ailment and
the tone of their digestive powers.

BEAU FIELDING.
He Was the Enigma of English Social
Life In His Day.

ne was t0S enigma OF CH5iiS6 SOCiaI
Life In His Day.
Beau Fielding was q young man OF
fashion in the reign Of William III His
house was sumptuouSly furnished. his
hunters, hacks and racers were Of
great value. and he kept table of
princely hospitality" He had no os-
tcuslble source Of income. All that was
known Of him was that he was the
fifth son of Thomas Wilson. an impov-
erlshed gentleman Of Leiccstershire.
Evelyn describes him as very young
man. civil and good natured. but OF
no great force OF character and very
sober and of good fame" All attempts
to discover his secret were vain. lin
his most careless hours of amusement
he kept strict guard over his tongue
and left scandal to conjecture what it
pleased"
He redeemed his fathers estate and
portioned off his sisters and when re-
mOnstrated with on his extravaganza
replied that. however long his life
should last he would always have
enough to live in the same way. Some
said it was he who had robbed the
Holland mail. for which another man
had suffered: others that he depended
upon the gambling table. though he
never played for large sums. He was
the enigma OF social life till his career
was cut short by duel. His adversary
was at that time young man about
town like himself. John Law. who
afterward became the founder Of the
famous Mississippi scheme by which
half of France was ruined. When the
mysterious Beau died he left only a
few pounds behind him and not a
scrap of evidence to enlighten public
curiosity.
