licenses and the same We're granted.
II. y. Bates. James Crawford and II.
A. Malone We're appointed firemen by the
fire chief, and his appointments We're con-
firmed by the council.
> Under the head of communications let
ters from the following persons were read
asking for copies of Park City's revised
ordinances: City Attorney j. NJ. Hanson
of Fillmore, Utah, j. w. Brewer. city
recorder of Mucin. Utah: Independent
Telephone company of Salt Lake.
After some little discussion in regard
to what price should be charged for these
books the recorder was instructed to en-
close a bill for $50 with each one sent
as the price for same.
A letter was read from the Joliet Pack
ing company inquiring as to what the
city fathers would ask for the chemical
engine, should a buyer for the white
elephant" as IL is known by in this city,
be found. and after good deal of talk
ing on this matter the chief was told 10
sell the elephant (engine) for 500 cash or
for $50 in exchange for apparatus.
New business rolled around. and Leahy
asked for a report from the office OF
sealer of weights and measures. stating
that such report should be made eV-
cry six months. but the desired report was
not Forthcoming. and so the Democratic
councilman made a motion to the effect
that this report be-on hand at the next
session. Deighton supported the motion.
which was carried unanimously.
The license question was again talked of
at some length, and the marshal asked
what should be done with those persons
who will not pay their licenses. He stat
ed that when the officers call on these
parties and ask for the tax money. they
(the officers) are often insulted and are
told to get out of the house. The mayor.
Dr. c. NJ. Wilson. stated that the only
reason he could give for such action on
the part of the local business men was
that they were cross. caused from an ''ir-
regulated liver" and that the officers
should have tough skins and pay no
attention to the abuses hurled at them.
However. the matter of collecting the IL
censes is left with the city attorney and
the police department and the marshal.
so he says he will insist upon all bust
ness men paying. or there will be some
busy matinees In Judge Waters court.
Street Commissioner Morse informed
the council that il was next to impossi-
BILE to keep the fumes flushed in Prospect
street. as they were made common re-
ceptacles for all kinds of waste matter
by the residents in that part of the city.
Council adjourned to meet again on
Thursday evening. Aug. 20.

LONG SIEGE IS
NOW EXPECTED
Canadian Pacific Bringing il
Men to Take Places of
Striking Shopmen.
UNION FORCES PEACEABLE
mo SUGGESTION OF SETTLEMENT
BY EITHER SIDE.

Winnipeg. Man, Aug. IA quiet
preparation for a long siege by the
men and continued reticence regarding
their intentions locally are the fea-
lures of the Canadian Pacific strike
situation this evening. No men in
large numbers have come into the city
from either eastern or western points.
although rumors are rife that a large
contingent is due here tonight. Pickets
are guarding the entrances to shops
and all railroad terminals.
Women Cleaning Cars.
A number of women have been
placed at work cleaning cars. Testing
of cars is going on as usual, the work
being done by foremen. Mass meetings
were held today and addresses given
in their native tongue by Hungarians,
Germans and Russians. ]. H. McVey
was asked this afternoon II the other
organizations connected with railroad
work were likely to 60 out soon. He
replied:
If they are going out very soon. ]
don't know OF il. If they went out
without notice they would be breaking
their iron-clad agreements"
E Wipers Promoted.
u
pany yesterday promoted all firemen
who had been serving in the local
roundhouse as wipers. BY the placing
of these men on engines probable ex-
cuse for a strike on the port of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen
has been removed.
When crops begin to move there will
be a larger demand for engineers and
firemen than at present. In the mean
time the promoted engine wiper-fire
men have been placed on the spare
board" and as men are required for
road work they will be drawn from the
ranks of those whose names appear on
the spare list. Under present traffic
conditions many of the promoted men
may be obliged to wait perhaps a full
month before their services are really
required by the company. The pay of
. the men will be nearly double thai
which they received as wipers. The
company has been sending bedding
into the shops today.
No Settlement In Sight.
j.. H. McVey tonight stated that
there had been no suggestion on the
part of the men toward approaching
the company with a proposal OF settle
ment. Neither had there been any
suggestion by the company that such
a suggestion would be entertained. AT
Moose Jaw. on the 500. Galacians are
being pressed into service by the Ca
madam Pacific railway. The bridge OF
the river south of the shops was taken
up by the company. The reason or this
is TO make it easier to defend the shops
in case of trouble.
Last night some one made an EFFORT
TO burn the bridge.

Here. in o most picturesque spot, with
wooded peaks on all sides and an ener-
getic stream for company, the party spent
an hour. Dhe hostlers had a pot of roast
ing ears merrily boiling. and the luncheon
hampers supplied the rest of the refresh
ments. An hour after the midday start,
without sufficient warning to don wraps,
came deluge of rain. A bright sun fol-
lowed. and as the party bowled through
the village of White Sulphur they were
greeted with modest cheers by the popu-
lace.

had been delayed for the candidates ar
rival When the distinguished guests were
given seats of honor. ribbons were award
ed in the coaching class and for high
then came another mountain shower.
This muddied the track, but shortly be-
fore o'clock the jumpers were put over
the hurdles. 1t had been scheduled that
Mr. Taft would reach the hotel at II

demonstration which later developed at

THAW UNABLE TO
PAY HIS DEBTS
Voluntary Petition in Bank
ruptcy Filed in Pittsburg
Court.
LEGION OF UNJUST CLAIMS
ONE NEW YORK LAWYER HAS A
BILL FOR $4,000.

Pittsburg, Pa, Aug. IA voluntary
petition in bankruptcy was filed after
5 o'clock tonight in the United States
court by Attorney Charles Morchaus-
her of New York. representing Harry
X. Thaw of this city, who is now con-
fired in the Duchess county, New
York, Jail. In the petition Thaw states
that his assets are SIPS. Ol2.3S, and his
liza biiities s453. 14O.43.
Roger O'Mara. a well known Pitts
burg detective, and personal friend of
the Thaw family, was appointed as re-
ceiver. His bond was placed at 5000. 900,
and John Newell and James W. Piatt.
two prominent business men of this
city. became security for Mr.. O'Mara.
Alleged Unjust Claims.
The most interesting information
given regarding the proceedings is to
be found in the petition asking for the
appointment of a receiver in which it
is alleged that the action is taken for
the purpose of preventing his property
being dissipated in litigation over
claims. many of which are unjust.
The figures in the bankruptcy petition
show that this refers to the lawyers and
doctors. Z
Thaw states that he is confined in
Jail in Duchess county, New York, and
is likely to be there for some time. He
says some of his creditors have com
menced suits against him, and others
are contemplating similar action. He
is unable, he says, to give the litigation
his attention, owing to the confinement.
Some Figures Given.
Loans amounting TO s191, 800 from his
mother. Mrs. William Thaw, are not
disputed.
Among the disputed claims are the

success and crcditable standing Accor-
ingly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs
and Elixir of SIENNA is the only remedy of
known value, but one of many reasons
why it is the best Of personal and family
laxatives is the fact that it cleanses,
sweetens and relieves the internal organs
on which it acts without any facilitating
after effects and without having to increase
the quantity from time to time.
1t acts pleasantly and naturally and
truly as a laxative, and it's component

Engine" is a noteworthy instance of
specialization and also Of verbal devel-
opnent. "Ingen'' originally in Latin
meant only something born in a
man, but the derivative words from
that have diverged SO widely that Gin
scnio.s' and. Ingenious" one OF
which can so easily be ,nisprinted for
the other, now rank almost as contra
diCtories. And from the ingenious"
man to the engine" which he con-
trived, is great step. Moreover. the
MIN who calls it an 'fngen'' is right.
