Without losing a minute Isbell pick

ed that a sleepy Jap in charge of the
switchboard in the station was I'M

to adjust the engine governor. This
message read:
San Francisco: Good for you, old

ECHO OF FEVER EPIDEMIC
Bills 60 the Amount Of S., 400 Laid
Before Commissioners.

Bills in a budget as thick as a
strong mans arm aggregating the sum
of $3,400, and representing the cost
of the recent typhoid epidemic to the
taxpayers were placed before the county
board of commissioners at the meeting
this afternoon.
Some time ago a number of bills
part of the aggregate of which the
county should bear, according to the
contentious of the city officials, were
laid before the county commissioners
and later audited by joint committee
of commissioners and al lermen. Since
that time more bills have been presen-
ted to the city council, which body
has in turn passed them on to the
county board for its ultimatum.

INFLUENCE IN CONGRESS.

s. NJ. I.add, private secretary to
Congressman Davis, writes an inter
esting communication to The Minnea'
polls Journal in which he criticlses
Speaker Cannon for appointing eastern
state representatives to the chairman
ships of the most important commit
tees of the house, giving those gentle
men preference over congressman from
western districts. =
Mr.. Ladd appears to have over
looked the fact that middle western
state epresentative-Hon James A
Tawney-heads what is generally re-
garded as the most important com
mite in the lower hOuse-that on APP
preparations. He was given this as
signment because of long service and
his known ability to hold" down the
job.
Wehn the west will do as the east does
keep men in congress for number OF
years, or long enough to be in posi-
will be properly recognized by the
house speaker. Constant changes in
the personnel of our western repre-
sentatives has permitted the east to
gain an advantage in the matter of
committee assignments.

Wants Special Tax Levy.

Mr.. Hodapp also presented resolu-
ton to the council, providing for a
special tax levy of $4,000 to be
made part of next years regular tax
levy. 1t also provided for the issue of
certificates of indebtedness, as provid-
ed by the charter, to anticipate the
collection of this levy. In this way
it would not be necessary to create a
floating debt.
On motion of Aid. Gary, the matter
was referred to the city attorney and
committee on ways and means to re-
port at the next meeting.
Aid. Atchison said that Mr.. Hodapp
should have offered his advice when the
last tax levy was made. AID Schroe-
der, however, states that as he had
the last tax levy prepared, it provided
for a $4,000 greater levy than passed
by the council Had it been made as
prepared by Aid. Schroeder it might
have provided sufficient funds for the
coming years without making it neces-
sary to run up large floating debt.
If the next council has to make an
increased tax levy, it will be made
clear that it will be because of the
present council.
In carrying out his position, City
Recorder Hodapp last night stated that
he would refuse to draw a warrant in
favor of the First National bank for
$29.3l for interest on $1,000 note
held by that bank. This was among
the bills allowed by the council.

City Recorder Hodapp presented an
unwelcome communication to the city
council last night. He feels that the
council is going wrong in its policy
of creating a floating debt rather than
combining it's expenditures within the
tax levy, as has been the policy for
some years. The council incurred a
floating debt last month and this
month amounting to $1,000, which was
paid off this week when the Novem-
Der settlement was made with the
county treasurer. This left but $4,000
of the $4,000 received from taxes, and
last nights bills will use up $1,000 of
this. The next settlement with the
county treasurer will not be made until
the middle of March, and the council in
stead of making an adequate tax levy,
reduced it about $4,000, so that it will
be necessary to- continue to pile up a

From the position Of the bodies and

lieved at first that the woman shot
the man and committed suicide but
this theory proved incorrect. Adler
left a note from which 1t appears that
he had determined to kill his former
wife and himself.
The couple were married III Los

man obtained q divorce in Denver q
year ago. Previous to her marriage

Postmaster General Meyer stated to
