Increased Price Of Elk Teeth.

During the last five years the value
OF elk teeth has more than ,trebled."
said western traveller at the Fred.
eric. according to the st. Paul Dis
patch. I'm 1904 you could get any num-
Der OF fine specimens in Idaho, Mon
tana, Washington and bordering states
for $3.50 apiece. Now you will pay
from $3.50 to $40, and they are hard
to get for even that. The Apache,
Sioux. Comanche and Chippewa Indi
ans used to have dozens of them in
their possession and traded them for
trinkets. But the redskin got wise TO
their value, and you can buy them
from a regular dealer cheaper now
than from the Indian. The passing
of the elk and the great demand made
by the members of the Elk lodge for
teeth for emblems have boosted the
price,"
The traveller recited an incident Of
an Oklahoman who bought a robe GOV.
cred with elk teeth from Wichita
Indian for 500. He cut off the teeth
and cleaned up $4,000 on the deal.

Edison's Practical Joke.

Edison. the great inventor. was al
ways great practical joker One
night when a lazy operator in the Of
flee in which he was employed thought
his days work was over, and was get
ting ready TO go home, Edison slipped
around to the switchboard made q
connection with the weary Willie's
telegraph key, called him down to the
table and. supplied with an old news
paper, proceeded to send him a bun
die of presumably Associated Press
stuff from New York. Edison was a
lightning sender as well as receiver,
from almost the beginning of his ca
reer. and the way lie made that fellow
work for two solid hours was a Joy.
After firing him out completely, MAX
ing him receive and copy the equiva-
lent of about three or four newspaper
columns, Edison suddenly came from
behind the switchboard, exposed the
joke to the poor fellow and wound I'D
by pelting him with the newspaper

messages.

A Drama on the Street.

A remarkable coincidence occurred

vorced were happily brought together
again. Mrs. Walter Preston was on
her way to the court to secure a d.

of a man who dashed in front of the

leaped to safety as the automobile

were soon made. and the two made
their way to the attorneys office.

THE CITY cHARrER-THE LAW.

Last night the City Council met in a
called session to consider proposed ap-
preparation for the iremen's conven-
ton and parade next month. Only
nine members were present, but an APP
preparation of $500 was made, as re-
quested. Without commenting upon
the merits OF this appropriation-and
it will be conceded that had twelve
members been present the measure
would probably have received that
number OF votes-yet that in no way
minimizes the importance OF proceed
ing correctly. Chapter 269, acts OF
the assembly of Virginia, 1902-O3-04,
page 424, section 1893 c., in the sec
ond paragraph, among other things, as
to the governments of cities, towns, ETC.,
refers to the appropriation OF money
exceeding one hundred dollars, stating
the manner in which it must be done
concludes as follows: Nothing con-
tanned in this section shall operate to
repeal or amend any provision in any
existing city charter requiring a two
third vote for the passage OF an ordi-
nance as to the appropriation OF
money" What does the charter say?
This Section 13-''No bill or act
creating new law, amending or alter
ing an existing law shall be passed at
the same session on which it is pre-
scented, unless it shall receive the votes
Of three-fourths Of the members OF
each branch OF the City Council. :"
This i'm itself shows that while nine
members was quorum, yet that
number was not sufficient to pass
an act This is not all, for there
is a state law that reads as
folIows-one that few, if any, mem
bers of Council present had apparently
read, for in the act referred to above,
chapter 900, page AT, acts 19O2-O3-O4,
section 1Ol5h, caption, Rules as to
quorums and the passage OF certain
ordinances, says No vote shall
be reconsidered or rescinded at any
special meeting, unless at such special
meeting there be present as large mum
Der Of members as were present when
such vote was taken" So if fourteen
members were present when the Came
ron, King, Henry and Fayette alley
sewer was ordered and appropriation
made, then that number was necessary

woman. She insisted that the assault
had been unprovoked Two colored
women, neighbors of the belligerents,
testified that the complainant had

women being greatly excited. The
