Potatoes and Raspberries Take Lead

Either because of deliberate prce

in retail figures on which the most of

vegetables and fruit have been jump

which now sell at rs cents per peck

berries, the black variety bringing

STILL HUNT Is BACK
OF A SECOND TICKET
However, Indications Are That
WEIGH and Kenworthy VIII Be
Elected to School Board.

The annual school election was en-.
livened today by the cropping of
quiet opposition to the announced
candidates, a. D. WEIGH and S. R.
Kenworthy, which had the appear
ance of developing into a we'll de-
veloped still hunt before the close
of the day. 1t was apparent early
in the morning that a vest pocket
vote, which it was alleged was in
the interests of socialistic candidates.
was coming out, particularly in the
event that apathy in the genera re-
suits appeared.
The still hunt candidates were M.
L. Morrill, and E. j. Owen, whose
names appeared on separate printed
ballots. 1t was not long, however,
before the friends of Messrs. Ken
worthy and WEIGH learned of the
movement and the result was a rally
in their behalf that seemed destined
to put their election beyond doubt,
although there are prospects OF
slumping before the close of the af-
ternoon. The polls are open until
o'clock.

COURT AIRING FOB
NEIGHBORS' FIGHT
Mrs. Thomas Ryan Has Mrs. C1aussen
Kage Arrested for Using In
decent Language.

Next Saturday morning at 9
o'clock Police Magistrate c. ].
Smith is going to air out a lively
neighborhood quarrel which, accord
ing to statements made in his court
this morning, has extended over a
period of two years, and which has
had for its participants most of the
women living between Fourth and
Fifth avenues on Twenty-second
street. The condition was brought
to light when Mrs. Thomas Ryan
swore out a warrant for the arrest
of Mrs. Claussen Kage, charging her
with using indecent language. Mrs.
Ryan had addressed Mrs. Rage in a
matter which pertained to the rela-
tions between Mrs. Rage and her
husband and 1t was this statement,
said Mrs. Rage. that elected the re-
ply for which the arrest was made.
Neither woman had witness in
court this morning and 1t was there
fore necessary to postpone a hear
ing till Saturday morning at which
time all evidence will be brought
forth. Upon several occasions police
have been summoned to the neigh
borhood to quell disturbances, but
ever after the participants in the
realize what had transpired, the mat
ter was dropped for the time being
at least. 1t is probable that the case
will involve more than the two who
were in court this morning.

therefore objected to consideration Of
the ordinance till he had had an op-

The mayor informed the commits

ONE MORE ROUND
ON CITY ENGINEER
Mayor Schriver Rules Commits
sioner Reynolds Out Of
Order.
A WARM SESSION IS HELD
Ordinance Transferring Office to the
Control Of Head of Council Is
Up for Consideration.

Determined to do everything in his
power to secure the ratification Of his
candidate, Clay Hubbard, as city civil
engineer, Commissioner Robert R Rey-
nolds as soon as opportunity afforded
this afternoon at the adjourned ses-
sion of the city commission again pre-
scented the name of Mr.. Hubbard for
confirmation. As the commission was
then considering unfinished business.
Mayor H. NJ Schriver ruled that the
action Of the commissioner was out Of
order. A discussion of the proposed
amendment to the saloon ordinance,
that provides for the elimination of the
imprisonment clause for selling liquor
without a license, followed, and be-
cause Commissioner Reynolds stated
he had had no time to look over the
proposed change, the matter was again
deferred. 1t will be taken up at a
meeting which will be held Thursday.
AS soon as the saloon amendment
was put aside Commissioner Reynolds
again offered the name of Mr.. Hubbard,
still under the order of unfinished bus
iness. Again the mayor ruled that the
commissioner was out Of order, and
then Mr.. Reynolds appealed from the
decision of the chair He was alone
fl his appeal, the other commission
ers upholding the mayor.
AMENDMENT TO ORDINANCE.
A resolution was passed yesterday
ordering that the appointment of a
city civil engineer should be postponed
till the ordinance dividing the execu-
tive and administrative powers of the
city commission might be amended so
ss to give the chairman of the board
of public improvements supervision
over the office of city civil engineer.
This afternoon Commissioner Martin
T. Rudgren presented the ordinance in
its amended form, and after he had
read it through asked for its in1medi-
ate consideration. The vote was three
to two for II, Commissioners Reynolds
and Bear voting in the negative. Com
missioner Bear changed his vote after
the matter had been passed, fearing
that his vote would mean the passage
of the ordinance this afternoon. Fol-
lowing the vote there was a discussion
OF the ordinance. Commissioner Rey-
onlds claimed that it deprived him of
at least a half of his power and that
therefore he was against the amend
ment. He stated that he objected to
the curtailment of his power and duty
and Of the deprivation Of any voice in
the management Of the affairs Of the
board of local improvements. He had
not understood from the statements
made yesterday that the scope Of the

DEFECTIVE FLUE CAUSE.
The fire started in some way from
the flue. The alarm was turned in by
telephone to the central fire station. A
misunderstanding as to the address re-
suited and a second alarm was turned
in from one of the Gamewell boxes.
This time the Moline engines respond

TWO RESIDENCES DAMAGED.
The gable of the building on the
north, occupied by Carl Olson, was
burned of. and the residence on the
east, occupied by Carlson Parker. was
also badly scorched. The total dam

THE scRAPpY OSTRICH.


Ms Is Full OF Treachery and Dearly
Loves to Fight.
Those who manage ostrich farms de-
clare that much diplomacy Is required
in the handling Of the ostrich. which
In more respects than one is decidedly
queer bird.
The ostrich requires, aside from
other necessary qualifications. mas
ter's hand, a strict hand. tempered by
Justice and mercy Not that the ostrich
is at all appreciativc Of kindness. In
deed, he never becomes thoroughly
domesticated, say those who know
him in captivity.
On the contrary, the ostrich is
haughtily and stolidly irresponsible to
kindness, and so treacherous is he
when full grown that even his daily
attendants never approach him unless
equipped with the necessary appli-
ances to bring him to terms when in
an ugly or dangerous mood.
The ostrich's chief object in life
seems to be to fight on every possible
occasion. Indeed, a fight to him Is
the very spice of things.
The male ostrich is not without COM
mendable qualities, however. For in
stance, he mates but once and forever.
Should he, as often happens in the
course of domestic complication, kick
his mate to death he remains true and
constant to~her memory, never seeking
a successor. In the ordinary phases of
domesticity he is attentive and help
full. He digs the whole in the ground
that is to serve as nest, and during
the process of incubation, which con-
tinues for forty days, he relieves the
mother bird of her duties from early
evening till late the next morning.
A curious habit Of the male ostrich
is his constitutional" At sunrise and
Just before twilight the male birds line
up in single file and race around the
Enclosure at whirlwind speed until
thoroughly limbered up. Then, sud-
denly arranging themselves in sets,
they execute grotesque minuet with
ludicrous gravity.-Harper's Weekly.
