AN AUCTION PARTY.
How a Jolly Evening Can Be Spent
 with Your Friends.

Nothing would be jollier for an eve ning's entertainment than an auction party.
 Sometimes at summer resorts real auctions are held on a small scale just for fun, and the bidders pay real money for the articles that are knocked down to them.
 But the kind of auction suggested for your party requires no money, only little wit and ingenuity.
 Having selected your articles and carefully wrapped and tied and num- bered them, prepare a catalogue for your guests to consult in the course of the sale. A suggested catalogue will be found at the close of this ar ticle.
 Ask a glib-tongued friend to take the part of auctioneer, and supply each guest with a certain number of beans in bag made to look like the money bags used by the banks.
 Tell the guests not to bid too high at the outset or they will not get many articles.
 Suggested Catalogue.

IMPORTANT MEET FOR DOUGLAS
 CITY DADS

DOUGLAS. Sept. 11.-(Special)-
 Matters of import will be before the special meeting of the city coun- cil which is to be held to morrow morning at 10 o'clock. There will be grist to grind and to grind fine and matters to be settled to clear for the nonce and to keep clean in the fu- ture the good name and fair fame of Douglas.
 There is the matter of the appoint. ment of a chief of police and on this there is no information obtainable beyond that which was printed on Wednesday in the International that Sam Hayhurst will be presented for the office and will have a strong backing.
 The fire chief question seems to have been practically adjusted and will not prove serious, in all proba. bility, as the resignation Is now ex. pected to be withdrawn, so that the E4ObdOAJ DS NANAAAe1SCAJ passed over as if it had never occur red.
 The question Of the resembling of the licenses of Dan Williams of the Grove saloon and of Imsland of the Antlers will also be up. Both of them have been summoned before the city fathers to show cause why their licenses should not be revoked for breaches of city ordinances and they are to be given free and impar- tial hearings.
 With this business to be transact. ed a protracted session may be ex. pected and in addition to all of this, other business is likely to come up including the appointment of com mittee to greet Bryan on September 21, or a resolution that the Mayor and Council act as such committee to represent the municipality.

The little Cleveland boy was anxious to know why it did not go off, so he picked 1t np and was examining 1t when 1t ex- ploded, lacerating his hands and fare tc such an extent that it was neces- sary to amputate the first joints Of several fingers.
 The boy ran to Rev. H. c. Edgar who had just passed, and said: Look ss me, Mir. Edgar"

DOUGLAS, Sept. l1-(SpeciaD-
 Before District Attorney Williams left the city he instructed the county officers that if they learned of any one attempting in any way to influ ence or intimidate any witnesses in the Williams-Russell shooting case that they were to immed. .ately make arrests. As a result of these in. struct:ons William Harris was jailed last night by Deputy Sherif Bob Eiil- born on charge of intimidation or of tampering with witnesses.
 It is alleged that waen this man Harris, who is said to be habitue of the "redl:ght district" learned that the testimony of the women witnesses to the shooting was l!kelR to be more favorable to the territory than to Williams he approached these women and tried to get them to change their testimony at the hearing.
 It is cIa med that he approached these women of the restricted dis. trict and said Now Williams $ a good fellow and a rounder. You girls are rounders too, and you don't want to go back on Williams. il you do you are taking chances for he will be apt to fix you for going back on him"

CHIEF NEMECK DECIDES NOT
 ID RESIGN

DOUGLAS. Sept. 11.-(special)- sS As result of the meeting of the Volunteer Firemen's association last night it looks probable that the mat. ters appertaining to the difficulty which arose between the council ana the fire chef are in a fair way to ad. tustment. This matter seems to have arisen frefn an unfortunate mis- understanding on the part of the chief for there is no city in the ter ritory where the council stands back of its fire department as has that body in Douglas. It looks as if this misunder- tanding had been explain ed away and that the harmonious re- lations hitherto existing would be re- sumed. 5,
 At the meeting of the Association last night the matter was gone over and Chief Nemeck was asked to re- consider his resolution and, for the good of the department, withdraw his resignation. This Nemeck agreed to do providing he can have the same jurisdiction, control and power in and with the department which he was given when he came to this city.
 An International representative made straw poll of the councilmen yesterday morning to ascertain the views of the members on the ques. tion of reconsidering and it was found that a majority of the mem bers were willing to take the stand that the resignation ID, ght be with. drawn and that if such move were made they would consider that it was no more before the council than if it had never been handed in.
 Thus an unfortunate circumstance win probably pass into ancient his tory.

REFUSED TO SKlMP FUNERAL
Widow Prepared for All Forms of seIf-Saerifiee to Give HtRNand
 Proper Burial.

There is a German woman on my list who recently lost her husband. says a writer in the New York Times. The man had been an industrious, sober, self-respecting citizen and had provided a good home for his wife and his two children. Only the fact that his illness was of long dnration and that the wife was lame and could do no more than her housework ard nursing brought me to their door. After his death I found that the wid- CIV would receive s321 insurance. Then I went to her.
 Now, Mrs. V-," I urged, this money will keep you long time, until you can find 8 place. Have as cheap g burial as possible. and--'
 Right there I stopped. The woman was looking at me with strange new dignity about her.
 He shall have a proper funeral" :" she said, decisively. T owe 1t to him. He was q good husband. He made a good home for me and the childer win see that he has his due. After that-I-I will work-I will not come to you-or then I will starye if 1t Is necessary"
 And l could not find words. some how, to answer. She did as she had said. The funeral cost s171 and was all he could have desired. She paid all her bills and her debts and had left about s70.
 She did not come to us. She tried hard to get work. but her lameness was against her. The starving time had almost come when I found her a place as a panitress. She does not know that found it. Why should she?
