the Western Union Office Monday

some change in the weather and the
barometer also indicated a change.

Yesterday and it is probable more

the next several days. If the cold
weather should suddenly break with a
warm rain the city and all its people

Of much slush and inconvenience.

Tampered With Hydrant--

Some of the householders III the
neighboFhood Of Twelfth and Duane
streets have apparently been securing
water from the FIRE hydrant al that
corner, and yesterday Chief Foster
found that the serew-nut at the top Of
the hydrant had been entirely spoiled
by those who had been getting water.
This nut must be turned 10 let the
water run, and whoever used The
bydrant--and Il must have been used
quite . number Of tines had used a
wrench which was too loose and
large. As result the nut had been
worn round and entirely spoiled, so
that the regular FIRE department
wrenehes would not turn it. In case
Of q fire there Il would not have been
possible TO have secured water from
that hydrant Whoever used the
loose wrench showed little Judgment
and poor citizenship Chief Foster
remarked that the spoiler OF the nut
ought to be prosecuted"

On Unfair List

4
AT the FIRST meeting Of the year oi
the Central Labor Council last night,
in Carnahan hall, the new officers were
installed as follows: R. S. Hayner,
president; William Olson, vice presi-
dent; ]. L. Moore, recording secre-
tary; H. NJ, Lorntsen, financial sec
retary; Rinard c. Rierson, guide;
Tom Souden, guardian, The various
reports Of the year were read BY the
outgoing officers, and all Of the af-
fairs Of the Council were found to be
in excellent condition. There were
about IS in attendance last night. The
only other matter of importance to
arise was difference that has been
outstanding between the Carpenters
union and Axel Johansen, the con,
tractor hich had been placed before
the Council for final settlement OF ac-
tion, It is alleged that Mr. johnson
has been working nonunion carpenters
and that he also has employed more
apprentices than he is entitled to ac-
cording to the union regulations, 1t
was voted to place Mr. Johansen on
the unfair list, as it was deemed BY
the Council that further negotiations
in relation to the differences would Be
useless at this time.

The Man Who Eats,

The man who eats does SO with the
expectation of being satisfied. To
this end he seeks the best possible
place 20 crafty his normal appetite at
the most rational expense, These ac-
counts for the steady stream Of peo-
pie to and from the portals Of the
Palace Restaurant in this city. The
reputation Of the Palace IS founded
imnoveably upon the certainty and
amplitude Of the service it renders to
every purse, and appetite, big and
little. Open day and night. Com

James +. Kearney, superintendent
Hof streets, said Yesterday that he Is not
a candidate for the position Of chief
Of police, though he admitted freely
that the matter has been broached to
him and that he had considered the
question. n don't want the place,
said Mr.. Kearncy, Teven II It does pay
a little more than my present posi-
ton. am quite well satisfied to re-
main as superintendent Of streets.
The man who becomes chief Of police
meets with many worries and the
worst Of il Is that he il perhaps not
always actually the chief Of police.
When the question was put up to me
! said that II secured the job !
would want to be chief il ! was given
the name and title. While | am nat
urally pleased to have been mentioned
as candidate | am not in the race
Mr. Kearney apparently did not feel
at liberty to state who the man or
men were that broached the question
TO him but Il Is learned on what
seems to be pretty good authority that
at least two Of the commissioners have
talked with him about the place, and
il IS said that he might have had the
job at the head of the police depart
ment il he had sought for il with
any earnestness. Meantime the acting
chief, Mr.. oberg, has many warm
friends who think he would be 4 FIRST
class man for the job and they think
he should have it, inasmuch as he has
made a good record while filling the
place of acting chief.

II Is the usual size, It is the part of
wisdom to take 131a when the height
of the linen is excessive. 1t is pre-
cisely the same theory that causes one
to wear longer boots when the toes are

In order to preserve its roundness
and softness the throat must have
some air and freedom of movement.
Undoubtedly an aid to freshness is
occasionally to change the style of

that Is not extreme. This relaxes and
tones muscles that may have become

ALTERING AN EVENING GOWN.
Soheme Very Much In Fashion and
One That Is Quite Easy to
Carry Out.

II the girl who INDUCED in a scanty.
slimly cut sheath gown last winter
wants to change 1t bit to give mtre
OF the classic suggestion, she can do
this by using two wells as drapery.
The idea is very much in fashion
and Is easy to carry out. The wells
themselves are often used by high.
priced dressmakers instead of buying
chiffon cloth and hemming It. The
wells have sewage which makes
them quite effective.
One OF the attractive ways of
draping them is to catch one at each
shoulder. drawing 1t up under the
arm and fastening on top with a pante
buckle. The edges lower down may
be lightly caught together over the
arm little above the elbow. This
gives filmy but straight drapery from
shoulder to hem which puts one In the
picture this season.
Again. an extra long veil is drooped
across the back and caught at the
back of each shoulder with a buckle
and the ends left to hang straight.
