 Wilson received by c. w. Trickett of
 Kansas City, Kan. MT. Trickett, who
 has been appointed by Gov. Stubbs to
 help straighten out matters at Hume
 well, had requestede Mrs. Wilson to
 of the Councilmen Monday night. The
 letter, ten pages long, contains the speeches of the cOuncilmen at the Monday night meeting, when they again refused to confirm Mrs. Wilson's appointments. With this letter was shorter one which refers to the effort to put her out of office. It is as fol- bows:
 Dear Sir: Today the whisky and gambling element circulated a petition to oust the Mayor and Council. In circulating these petitions these fel- lows made the statement to the pub lie that the petitions were intended for the Councilmen alone, and thereby got a great many more sigmers than they would have done had they told the truth. I understand they are go- ing to place this petition in an attor- ney's hands tomorrow. will let you know what can find out in regard to the whisky dealers Mttle later, MT. Trickett, there is no use in try ing to do anything with this Council therefore hope that you can do some thing in regard to the matter.

 HADN'T HIS TAX
Young Man Drew Money to Buy Furniture, Bet on Mechanics, and May Post pone Wedding.

The failure to gain the Connecticut League pennant for Bridgeport is known to have caused near heart failure in a number of instances and disappointment in thousands Of oth- CTS. There is one young man, res fdent of Pembroke street, whose name is withheld as it would hurt him per sonally should it be given out, who is out s250 through playing on the Me cflanics to win- Not only that, 1t has caused considerable disappointment to an intended bride and held up the personal tax collectors from adding one more name to their already fast growing list.
 For the, past several weeks the col lectors have been in East Bridgeport working from house to house. A call at a Pembroke street home on Mon day morning found this young man with less than one dollar in his jeans. His appearance war that of prosper ity which caused Collector Holt to make inquiries why he was to be put off til another time Pressed for in money must be forthcoming at the office on the morrow, the young man told his story. Saturday last he had more than $50, the savings of several weeks, in a1ds pockets. T1le same morning he withdrew $200 from the bank intending with the $250 to make deposit on household furniture which he was to buy, the approaching we'd ding being in view. The purchase was put off for a few days, while not caTdng to take chance with leaving the money dn the house, and having the building burn down, he carried the greenbacks about with him. Sum day morning he strolled over town and struck up conversation with an auto panty from Springfield. They talked 'Ponies'' and he Mechanics. '' Up went the stakes and he, loyal to McCann's crew.. placed his roM on them to win. They covered every cent of 1t, and when they went back to the Superior City in the evening they had the young mans money with them. He's not kicking, but just now he is destitute of ready funds. He told the collector he had considerable more where the $20O was taken from Saturday morning, and to show that he was right he flashed his nkbook. The next day the collectors office re- cedved a call from the young man and he paid his tax.

OUR SERVICE sAyEs
Iowa saw the inception of state

Iowa saw the inception of state
 wide prohibition in 1884, after a trial
 of partial prohibition since 1855. In 1893 the Iowa legislature enacted the
 mulct law, which has the effect of
 local option in communities where
 prohibition is not desired by the ma
 jority.
 Kansas adopted prohjbitory laws in 1882 and is still in the "dry" col umn.
 Tennessee is dry by statute, and it is confidently expected that the law will be repealed at the next session of the general bly. North Dakota adopted prohibition in 1889 by a scant majority of 1,159. South Dakota went "dry' in 1883, but the state returned to license in 1896.
 The states which have gone back to local option simply discovered that prohibition could not be enforced in districts and communities where the people didn't want it. Florida ex- pressed itself on statewide prohibit |tion in statewide election and it is
 not likely that any attempts to inn pose the proposition upon this state will be made in the near future.

 Massachusetts tried prohibition from 1855 to 1870..
 In 1858, Rhode Island adopted pro- hibition and repealed the law in 1863. Ir 1886 she adopted prohibition again and at the polls in June, 1889, the people repudiated it by ma jority of 1S,597 out of a total vote of less than 38,00O.
 Connecticut placed prohibition In the organic law of the state as early as 1854. but gave up the experiment in 1872.

BROOKS COMET IN SIGHT
Look For 1t About 20 Degrees North
 west of Vega.

Geneva. N. T., Sept. 1.-The Brooks comet is now plainly visible to the naked eye about 20 degrees northwest of Vega, the bright star overhead in the early evening. The comets ap- pearance is that of round nebulous star.
 With the aid of a telescope or opera glass tail can be seen which will increase in length for several weeks to come. pr. Brooks, the discoverer, says the comet will be nearest the earth next Sunday, when it will be something over forty million miles away. The motion now is westerly.
