fully investigate the matter Of the
rights OF the city under said con-
tracts and to institute such pro-
eeedings as will preserve all the
rights of the city and recover to the
city any loss or damages ut may have
or will be put to on account of the
failure of any contractor to perform
in a proper and exact manner any
part of the contract with the city, or
any negligence on the part of the con-

Resolved, that this council appoint
and employ additional counsel to as
sist the city attorney in this matter,
should he deem II advisable"
ATTORNEY WANTS FACTS.
City Attorney Jones, upon the adop-
ton Of the resolution, stated that the
thing the attorney wanted was some
facts in the case. He said that the
condition was proven, but as he had
understood the report OF the city en-
gineer, the cause Of such condition had
not been definitely fixed. Two rea.
sons for the condition were given, the
attorney said, in the engineers report.
according to his recollection. One
was on account of the inlet at Butcher
Pen pond and the other was the in
sufficieney of the subsoil to retain the
pipe. Mr.. Hatton had said, he recol-
lected, that the inlet of the water at
the pond would not have the effect OF
putting the sewer in the condition
which 1t was now found; and addi-
tionaIly, Mr.. Hatton and Mr.. Rommell
had stated that the sewer rested on
hard white sand foundation. II
such were true then Il was not cor
rect for the city engineer to assign the
causes as he had suggested. If the
condition was due to bad work or ma
terial, the attorney said, then II was
for the contractor to make It good, and
If he refused to do so, the city could
do the work and proceed against the
contractors bondsmen for the expense
incurred. The liability Of Mr.. Hatton,
the city attorney said, would involve
the question of the degree Of care and
diligence he showed in the perform
, ance of his duties, and with all that,
he said, the facts are yet not definite
as to cause to enable a clear and def
mite opinion. He advised that the
council go more fully into the finding
out OF the real causes of the condition.
The resolution was passed, Alder
man Williams explaining that he
would vote for It, but he was against
some of it's provisions.
After few remarks from Alderman
Renshaw, Williams and Welsh relative
to the issue, a motion to adjourn was
heard and such was declared carried.

Mayor Reilly, just before the resolu-
ton of Alderman RenShaw was called
for, said that he wanted to ask the
resident engineer question. do you
believe, Mr. Rommell," the mayor
asked, that the sewer, say between
Chase and Zarragossa street, is in
proper condition for the pavement to
go over 1t?"
Replying as an expert, Mr.. Rommell
said: II do sir, with the exception,
probably, Of the crossing at Garden
street. Mr.. Rommell followed up the
claim by explaining regarding the
time when the water pipe broke
about 200 feet north of Garden street,
and had broken the pipe. This had
been fixed, he said. and he would ad-
wise that paving be done. He said
| that If there was a depression, the
sand on DeVillier street would never
stand up as 1t has been doing. He
said that he did not agree with Mr..
Thornton that "a per cent. of the

of Kansas and Oklahoma. 1t was
estimated July l that the crop in
this district would reach 2S4 ,500,-
600 bushels. The heat has reduced
the estimate from a fourth to a
third and in some counties of Okla

northern half of Oklahoma seems
to be hardest hit. This would seem
to reduce Oklahoma's prospect
from 146,000,000 bushels to from
100000 to 130,000,000. The wind
burns only hit in parts of Kansas.
Corn in tassel is generally killed
and small late plants are badly
hurt. intermediate growth seems
to be faring best and is resisting
drought. There is moderate dam
age to corn in Nebraska and Iowa,
rains having afforded considerable
relief.
Nebraska has prospects for 270,-
100000 bushels of corn and Mis-
souri, for 275,000,000. Iowa has
having rains and her chances are
good. 1t looks like crop of 31S,-

for 456, 100000 bushels and Indiana

Such was the pathetic explana-

operator, for her plunge into
crime, which ended in a prison
cell on a charge of check raising.

She lived in what was a para
disc to her for a few days. She
purchased the lavender waist, she
had always longed for; she gorged
on candies and cakes, and she Wis
tied the playhouses twice a day.
Then a detective came and took
her to prison.
There was just a suspicion of
tears in the eyes of the judge, just
a trace of huskiness in his voice
as he placed the girl on probation
She wasn't criminal at heart,
just poor little country girl who

So the Judge gave her a chance to

Owing to the time given over to

the proposition of the payment Of
