guilty of disorderly conduct. in Judge

the bounds of the proposed i'm
prOvement" were slated.
Jack De Hart, on the morning of
the 4th, climbed the slender pole on
the capitol dome. to reeve the hal
iards that had fouled and left the

ardous, but it was accomplished in
an expeditions and business-like
manner that thousands would not
have tempted the average man to
take.

Assistant Attorney who was sup
piled with an Assistant at $50 per
month. 1t will be noted that every
thing is raising, including the pub
ic debt.
