CITY HALL Joker AT WORK
Query Regarded as impeachment il
Written ON Many office
Cards.

Officials In the city hall have been made
90 utter angry words on various ooca-
slons recently by the act OF some practical
Joker. When an office is left tsnantless
for a few hours from any cause 1t has
been the habit to leave 4 card on the
door or on a desk bearing the words
Back at 10 o'clock" or whatever the hour
OF return ma happen to be.
Some person with a heavy crRyon has
been looking up the signs and writing I'M
derneath What forT'-nothing more.
In one case the mayors signature was
fairly well duplicated, and the angry Of
riceholder astonished his honor by march
ing nto his office and demanding to know
what Il meant He was placated. but

LARGE LIST, FEW WORKING
New Charter Requirements Cause Of
Dissatisfaction.
PUTATIvE CITY employees IDLE
APpOintees Of city Engineer and
street Commissioners Confirmed
by Council, but CanRot
Get work.
'UTAT1vE CITY employees IDLE

a peculiar state OF dissatisfaction exists
among the groups Of men whose names
nave been sent In to the city council by
the city engineer and street commissioner
and confirmed by that body. Many Of
them have had little or no work and can
not be assured Of any before next season.
The fault for this condition Of affairs
lies In the law as at present framed, ac-
cording to the officials concerned. All
their employees must be confirmed by coun-
Gil, and 1t is impossible to wait until the
hour men are wanted before appointing
them. The result Of this system Is that
both the engineer and street commissions
have sent in lists and had the men con-
hrmed by council when in reality there
was no certainty OF any work for them.
and a far away possibility of steady en-
ployment.
On the rolls Of both departments there
are laborers, inspectors, foremen and others
carried, who live in e~xpectancy-and the
hope long deferred is making them sick.
Some men named for the positions went
80 far, on prospects, as to throw up other
positions, and now find themselves hang
Ing around waiting for something to turn
up
we are doing the Mlcawber stunt with
a vengeance" said one putatlve inspector,
but very unwillingly."
Officials Powerless.
Street Commissioner Flynn views the sit
uation with something Of ~equanimlty, as
does the city engineer, but neither man
draws any satisfaction from existing con.
ditions.
Every Monday morning. from about 6:46
to 1880, no one has a word TO say against
me as street commissioner" says Flynn.
The men who want work in this depart
ment show up at the city tool house bright
and early every Monday, but there is no
possibility of putting even a fair proper
ton at work, because of the slim fund we
have to draw on. So those that are left
out become harsh critics at once. We are
powerless to change the situation, how
ever, which fact doesn't cut much figure
with a man who really wants 10 work. The
city pays Is cents an hour for laborers,
which keeps a great many more looking
for Jobs than can possibly be employed.
Having been confirmed by the city coun-
Gil, 1t Is hard for some to understand why
they are not at once employed. We have
the work to do, and could keep a great
many more busy than we do, yet we are
unable to DO so, and cannot possibly do
better than W. are doing at present until
after the first OF the year, at the very
earliest"

Cause of Explosion
Of the Police Auto
Careful Investigation Said to Show
Mechanism of the Car Was
Not at Fault.

After an Investigation Of the fire at po-
lice station Friday evening, which was sup
posed to have had its origin in the ex-
ploslon OF the steam car used as police
ambulance, William Drummond said that
the car Is in no way responsible for the
blaze. Every part Of the steamer, except
such as were burned, is in perfect tact.
The gas tank, which was at first thought
to be destroyed by explosion. is not dis
turbed. No part OF the car has given way
and the machinery is as valuable as It
ever was.
Il am sure that the car was not respon-
slble for the fire and l have taken the pre-
caution to ask the factory to send out a
machinist that the whole thing might be
thoroughly Investigated" says Mr.. Drum
mond, Fred Bausenek, the\ unfortunate
chauffeur who was so seriously burned,
tells me that no pilot light was burning
on the car at the time Of the fire, which
might have started the blaze. He had
taken the precaution to turn the light off
before he began the test. The chauffeur
was testing the gasoline with a glass in
strument which he had just purchased. He
had started to drain the gas tank and had
unscrewed the lower plug and had per
haps five to ten gallons Of gasoline in
the pail. Much OF this had spilled and run
out over the floor. 1t was this which ig-
nited with the gas flame usually burned
in the stable and II was this which caused
the fire. He had laid a pres-to-lite gas
tank to one side, which the extreme heat
exploded, but it was in no way connected
with the car and was nowhere about 1t.
A a matter OF fact, l have never heard
OF one Of these tanks blowing up. have
known OF White Steamers going through
fIraa fuCf ag thfg ap,k,,l.,.. Az - f..
as the Goodrich White Steamer did over
in Council Bluffs some time ago, neither
of which suffered, and they invariably
come cut intact. They are wonderfully
constructed, and especially to withstand
such attacks as this. The White Steamer
had few parts and no intricate machinery
to get out of order, and the services Of
an expert machinist Is not at all neces-
sary to operate the car. Only the chauf-
feur should be careful, as all chauffeurs
should be-"

When trials o'ertake US and dark
seems the way,
When with trouble beset we are
downcast and blue,
Look up through the clouds, see the
brightness of the day,
Be loyal and earnest, be faithful
and true.
Our mistakes seem as mountains, our
sins as great loads,
But to err is but human and sins
are forgiven.
Look on them as steps to but show
us the road
That leads to the brightness the
future holds hidden.
No life is so drear, weary. sinsick, de-

But that sunshine may not far ex-

Lies a great mine of treasure, seek
therefore the best,
Assert now thy right, prove thy
heritage vast.

Bills.

of all commercial papers, bills are
the least understood and the most
frequently mathematical, not only
by the clerks who have to work over
time toward the end of the month to
get them out, but also by those to
whom they are sent. Bills should be
paid when due Many know this,
but few know the reason. The rea-
son is that if bills are allowed to run
for any great period, those who owe
them become SO that they do not want
to pay at all, until finally-debtors
VIGOROUSLY having poor memories
the feeling comes that there was
something wrong about the bill in

past the district attorney has been
present at all times at grand Jury
sessions and he has been under no
obligation OF secrecy. He can give

ever he wants TO. He can give away

result is that a district attorney when
