MARCY THE GREATEST
 FISHERMAN ON RECORD

J. w. Marcey, superintendent of the Jeffers sheep ranch at Jeffers, Mont, is the original "haul-em-in kid when it comes to fishing through the ice at the Madison river dam near his home His method of getting them is really novel. He has equip ped roathouse with stove and comfortable seats and has it mounted on runners so a horse may pull it.. The other day he went on the ice, cut a hole through the thickness and caught 160 pounds of fish in four hours To show that he was not telling tales he sent shipment to s. w. Small of this city and every one of the grayling was substantial proof of his angling ability.

ASSISTANTS CAUSE STRIKES

NEW YORK, Jan. II. Nine out of ten strikes are due to employers assistants, not to any question of the money involved, is the opinion of An drew Carnegie, who today addressed the delegates to the National Civic federation.
 The more capital does for labor, the more profit the employer makes" " said Carnegie. T have not had any strikes in 26 years. I have not let anyone have anything to say about labor but myself"
 Carnegie thought the working mans compensation act was step in the right direction.

ing and hopeless period for them The bond issue had failed miser ably. l. had not needed the Chron iCle to remind the public of what a shaky proposition the Consolidat ed was. for Bobby had thoroughly exposed the corporation during the Bulletins campaign against Sam Stone. Bond floating companies from other cities were brought in and after an examination of the books threw up their hands in hor TOT at the crudest ruddle they had ever found in any investigation ol municipal affairs.
 On the night of the council meet ing Sharpe and Trimmer and Will Hams. represe nting the Consolidate ed, were compelled 10 come before the council and confess their ina. bility to take up the bonds re quired to renew their franchise; but they begged that this clause since it was an entirely unnecCs. sary one and was not enjoined upon gas or electric companies in other cities, he not enforced. Council however. was obdurate, and the committee thereupon begged for a further extension of time in which to raise the necessary amount of money. Council still was obdurate and by that obduracy the franchise of the Consumers Electric Co.,. said franchise being controlled by the Consolidated Illuminating and Pow, CT company. became null and void
 Thereupon Bobby Burnt, Presi- dent De Graf and Dan Elliston. representing the new Brightlight Electric company, came forward and prayed for franchise for the electric lighting of the entire city wiring of the Consolidated at a fair valuation; and council was not at all obdurate, which was scarcely strange when one reflected that every member of that municipal body had been selected and put in place through the direct instru- mentality of Bobby Burnt. It was practical politics, true enough, but Bobby had no qualms whatever about it.
 Tt may be quite true that have not been actuated by any highly noble motives ill this he confessed to hot charge by Will Hams, but so long as in municipal affairs l am not actuated by any ignoble motives I am doing pretty fairly in this town
 There was just the bare trace of brutality in Bobby as he said this. and he suddenly recognized it in himself with dismay. What pity Bobby might have felt for these bankrupt men, however. was swept away in gust of renewed aggres- siveness when Trimmer, arousing himself from the ashen age which st emed all at once to be creeping over him, said, with a return of that old circular smile which had so often before aggravated Bobby:
 "I am afraid l will have to draw out of my other ventures and retire on my salary as president and manager of Trimmer X Co.,"
 Vengefullness was in Bobby s eyes as he followed Trimmer sprawling figure. so much like a bloated spiders in it's bigness of circumference and it's attenuation of limbs, that suddenly he shuddered and turned away as when one finds himself about to step upon toad

BUSINESS SENSE.

Will a merchant who is wise Ever cease to advertise? Yes-when the trees grow upside
 down;
 When the beggar wears crown; When ice forms on the sun; When the sparrows weigh a ton; When gold dollars get too cheap; When women secrets keep; When fish forgets to swim; When Satan sings a hymn; When girls go back on gum; When the small boy hates drum; i; When no politician schemes; When mfnce pie makes pleasant
 dreams;
 When it's fun to break tooth; When all lawyers tell the truth; When the drummer has no brass When all these como to pass, Then the man that's wise Will neglect to advertise.-Exchange.

The absence OF quorum caused the
postponement of a very important
regular meeting OF the board Of health
which was TO have been held last night
at seven, thirty o'clock in the ONCE of
the city clerk. Notifications to the
effect that a session OF the board was
scheduled were sent out to the vari-
GUS members. but at a quarter Of eight
o'clock only two members, City
Physician L. E. Mobiles and Alder
man VIM. Meyer, were present and 1t
was decided to postpone the meet
ing to some near future date, probably
some time later this week.
Among matters scheduled for con-
sideration last night was the much
talked of milk ordinance, regulating
the milk supply in the city of Pensa-
cola. The ordinance has already been
prepared and was ready to be sub
mitted to the members for approval
by DR.. Mobiles The new measure is
a very stringent one.
The ordinance, which, II Is said, will
meet with the sanction of the members
of the health board, makes 1t neces-
sary that all dairymen, or persons
owning cows, to secure permission
from the board to keep the cows after
having secured the necessary license.
At least one pint Of milk must be
