SNOWFLAKE WINS
 FIELD CONTESTS
St. Johns Team Makes Slim Showing in Athletic
 Event.
Special Correspondence.)

About as severe drubbing as was ever given school team was handed out to the St. Johns academy by the school team at. Snowflake today. The day was ideal and the track was in good condition.
 The visitors were confident Of success, but made the mistake of counting on a one star team to defeat an all star aggregation. The home boys feared the races little, but counted on springing some pleasant surprises in tbat line nevertheless. In this they were not disappointed as the events soon showed. It was es- timated before the contest that If the home boys were within eight or ten points of the visitors at the conclusion of the races they still stood a good chance of success. Indeed those from the other county hoped to score more points than ten to their credit in the running events.
 Here they missed 1t. for Snow flake stood eight to the good when the results for thefnrenoon were announced.
 St. Johns was whipped. The only hopes they had of success had disappeared. and a more dis heartened lot of men was never seen than the ones who lined up to contest Snowflake in the after noon exercises.
 Out of the forty points still re- maining St. Johns got but two. It seemed like practice work for Snowflake. In the broad jump four men outclassed the best wis. itor. Again, the high jump was won by three of the home men making the same score There was no need for them to extend themselves.
 The one-sidedness of it all made it uninteresting and failed to fur nish incentive for the breaking of records, except in a few instances.
 Maneer of the visiting team de serves special mention for the good work he did for his school. He made fifteen out of the twen- ty two points that that aggre- gation was able to gather in.
 Too much praise cannot be given for the splendid work of the Snowflake academy team. Neither could any one be men tioned as towering above the others. It was simply an all star team that represented their school so ably. Lewis surprised his friends when the stage fright had worn off. He tied with M. Gibbons of St. J"hns for second place in the 1O0-yard dash. His friends were disappointed because they counted on his taking sec ond place. Perhaps a poor start and fright caused him to fail in this, for when the two met to run the tie off Gibbons crept along more than a rod behind his swift competitor. The same time was made in this race as that which won first place in the original heat.
 The places and records made in the different events are as fol lows:
 100 Yard Dash-Maneer, St. Johns, first; Lewis, Snowflake, second; M. Gibbons, St. Johns, third. Time: 101-5.
 Mile-E. Shumway Snowflake. first; Eager, St. Johns, second; Stratton, Snowflake, third. Time: 5:2S1-5.

ALDERMEN HOLD
 LIVELY SESSION
Want Resignation of Marshal and City Clerk---Bond of City En-
 gineer Raised to $l0,000.

mon council, adjourned fro m Tuesday evening for want Of a quorum, was held Wednesday evening with Mayor Schaal pre- siding and all members present except Alderman Ward, who was reported confined to his home by illness. In the absence of Bert Ward, who has been acting as city clerk since his brother, E. Ward left the city, Marshal Bled- soc proceeded to read from some memOrandumS an account Ot the two previous meetings which had not yet been written up in the minute book. Several of the al dermen present, who had been absent from the regular and spe- cial meetings held in February. wanted information on what had been done at those sessions, and as they were unable to get from the memorandums in sight suffic tent information to satisfy them, a feeling of disappointment per vaded the atmosphere which de veloped quickly into resentment
 Alderman Henderson, who left sick bed to be present at the meeting, took the floor and madr vigorous protest against the ac ceptance of the memorandpms presented as regular minutes as well as to their reading by the city marshal. Failing to secure immediate recognition and the stopping of the reading, Alder man Henderson raised the point of personal privilege, and his ob- jection being sustained by the chair, he proceeded at some length to express hls sentiments on the present situation.
 Taking up first the city mar shalshlp, he said: When Mar shal Hanks, over year ago, SC cured permission from this coun cil to appoint this man (Ble lso ) to act in his absence, while he was out on a hunting trip, 1t was un derstood and agreed that such appointment would be termina ted immediately upon the return of the marshal; so that since tn, moment the marshal got back Blodsoe's appointment was an nulled right there, and since that time he's had no more authority to act in that capacity than thi> man (Theodore) here.
 "When City Clerk Ward left here we were given to understand that it was only going to be for a short time and his brother, Al derman Ward, was appointed tt act in his place. He's been gone four months, and we understand he isn't expected back until June

 This lucid expression, lin tn clear" seemed to summerize tn situation and appealed to Alder man LaPrade who declared il an undertone, "No, you bet .w amt in the clear, and we haven been there for some time.

without running amuck with the territorial statutes. There was a strong disposition to declare these two offices vacant anl pro- ceed with the appointment of a city clerk to acr at once After a general discusslcn of the sub jet and an examination of the statutes by Alderman Henderson 1t was decided to await the re- turn of District Attorney Geary to the city, and accordingly the meeting was adjourned subject to the call of the mayor.
 A special meeting of the council was called last Saturday to settle the question of where the sewer outlet would be placed.
 Mir. Bullock, the engineer for the city, was on hand, his assist ant, E Root, and W A. Dutch, superintendent for the construc- tion company. Mir. Bullock stated that the most desirable course would be through Alder man La Trades farm, because of the greater fall over that course than obtains further south.
 On agreement with the con- struction company to compen- sate him for any damages result ing from the work, Alderman La Prade agreed to grant the privi- lege, and the district attorney was instructed to draw up an easement and file it for record.
 The matter of demanding more adequate security from Engineer Bullock on his agreement to re- imburse the city for all cost in removing rock III excess of 400 yards was then taken up. Mir Bullock again expressed his con- fdence in the correctness of his estimate, but stated his willing ness to furnish security in such amount as might be desired by the council Asking if a 10000 bond would be satisfactory and receiving the unanimous assent of the aldermen present. he agreed to furnish such bond immediately upon his return to Kansas City.
 No other business being before the council the meeting ad- journed.

Use of Emergency Horseshoes.

That the emergency shoe coming into
use in this city, and which is supposed
to keep horses from falling on icy and
slippery STREETS. is injurious if worn by
the horse at any time except in an emer-
gency is the opinion of c. B. Robinson,
the District veterinarian. An order has
been framed FOR the Commissioners APP
proval which will prohibit departments
of the District government from using
these emergency SHOES, except as a
means to enable a team to regain the
stable in case of being caught in a sleet
or snowstorm. The veterinarian says
that to protect the horse the shoes should
be removed soon as possible.
