This afternoon at o'clock will begin
the first meeting OF the new city council.
Dan B. Butler, city clerk, will be in the
chair and the councilmen will begin
bsllotinE for president, with five Of the
six democrats svowed candidates for the
position. 1t will take seven votes TO
elect
AS far as known no final agreement has
been reached as yet between the two sides
in the council ard party leaders say IT is
more than probable that II the councilmen
go into the chamber with ma prearranged
program a deadlock may ensue. which will
take many ballots TO break This was the
dred ballots were taken before Funkhouser
cast his vote for johnson and made the
latter president.
The republicans have held several meet
ings and 1t is understood that the six will
act together The five candidates have
been persistently active in angling for re-
publican votes and ready to promise any
thing in the way OF committee assign
ments to get votes from the opposition
The democrats of Jacksonian affiliations
are united on only one thing, and that is
the defeat of Bridges for president. Some

Bridges championship OF the occupa alton
tax ordinances and his refusal to work
with them during the last three years. II
is this situation that makes possible a re-
publican president of the council The re-
publicans will hold another conference
this morning and are expected to present
a solid front when the council is con-
vened. Some pretty fights" are fore
casted by men around the city hall and on
the organization of the council will depend
many appointments TO be made by the
mayor.
The new organization will hold only one
year, the new charter changing this from
three years as heretofore. The chairman
will appoint the committees and they, too
will hold only the year. The defeat of six
councilmen has disarranged all the old
COMMITTEES, but one the lighting. This

johnson, all Of whom were reelected.
The judiciary committee loses Endres

May efforts have been made by the au-
thorties to ascertain the identity OF a
body, supposed to be that of Henry Wahr-
man, killed by a Chicago & Northwestern
train near Iroquois, on the night of May T.,
since which time the remains have been at

Folker and his wife declared that the dead
man was In no way related to them, Fin

dead near Melrose Friday night was muir
dered instead Of being struck by a passing

no mark of mutilstion on the body, ex-
cept a small fracture on the left side Of

small blunt instrument The place where
the body was found was a lonely spot. and
is noted as quite a resort for tramps, and
IL is held that had he been struck by a
passing train. as at first supposed, the
body would not have been found lying be-
tween the rails as It was The coat and
vest had also been removed and the belief
is prevalent that the young man was
struck down by some brutal hand, intent
on robbery. An investigation is pending
The parents and brother and sisters of the

HARTMAN LINES IN CONDITION C

has never been neglected in any particu-

roads
In ;his respect We are somewhat better
off than the other railroads generally, Our
percentage OF shop cars is down below what
is regarded as the normal figure, The
general average throughout the country Is.
I believe still a little higher.
"our operating expenses have been much
reduced. but our maintenance expendi-
tures have ben liberal this year, Just as
fer number of years past, and have
been sufficient to keep the property in the
very best Of condition Transportation ex-
penses have been kept down by heavy car
and train loading, the purchase Of the
heaviest and best equipment, and the
elimination Of grades and curvature from
the lines. These processes are still going
on. but the roads are beginning to show
the effect of many years Of liberal main
tenanee expenditures, as we'll as the use
Of a great deal OF new capital for improve
ments.
The movement of general merchandise
on our lines Is fair and is gaining slowly.
There is no rapid increase, hut just a
healthy convalescence OF business. The
