Socialist Lecturers
Campaign Speech
Ben Wilson and Geo. D.
Brewer Spoke to Fair
Sized Crowd.

Ben Wilson, a Socialist lecturer
and Geo. D. Brewer, candidate for
Congressman of the Third district
were In Chsnute and spoke at the
Hetrick.
Wilson is known as one of the
most eloquent lecturers in the
Socialist movement and lived up to
his reputation in last nights
address. He is almost as well
known in Great Britain as a
lecturer as he is in the United
States.
Geo. DI. Brewer the Socialist
candidate for Congressman of the
Third strict did not coLfine him
self wholly to the doctrines of
Socialism, but made a campaign
speech as well.
1t seems S to be his belief that the
race fyr Congressman is between
himself, nd the high man of the
pair, Brady and Campbell. Tariff
was lightly touched upon by Mr..
Brewer and the fact that the old
line parties consider it one of the
greatest issues was also commented
on.
The Socialists look upon the
tariff as question to be easily dis
posed of and seem to have little in
common with the Republicans and
Democrats in this line.
Owing to the fact that the
mercury did a Marathon towards
the base of the tube yesterday,
the meeting of the Socialist had to
be changed from Central Park
where it was originally planned to
have it to the Hetrick Theatre
The change was made too late for
it to be made generally known, so
only fair sized crowd heard the
lecturers.

City Does Not Pay
by the Pound
incorporating a Few Lots In
City Lirmits---Housemovers
to Give Bond

The fact that the city does not
pay for its rock by the pound was
established yesterday afternoon
when the bills of J. F. Byers for
5000 pounds of rock and 4Ioo
pounds were reduced to cubic
Yards and the claims allowed. One
bill at S Ia cents per hundred
pounds amounted to S5.44 and re-
duced to cubic yards the amount
was S.. In the same proposition
on the 400 pound load, reduction
was made. The increase in the
price is little but the city does not
care to establish the rule of buying
rock by the hundred pounds.
An ordinance requiring house
movers to execute a bond holding
the city of Chanute blameless for
any damages that may be caused
by their moving of buildings was
put on first reading.
The ordinance incorporating
lots two, three, four and five In
Park Plac', Second Addition in
the city limi S was placed on second
reading. These lots are west of
South Garfield and South of
Twelfth St.
A city well on lot on the west
side of North Evergreen formerly
belonging to B. M. Smith was
ordered pulled by the Board of
Commissioners and the owners of
the lot notified that since the we'll
was dead and the city no longer re-
ceiving gas through II that they
would have to pay for all gas used
through city mains.
The well will be pulled under the
direction of t e Gas SUI eIintend-
ent and the house over the well re-
moved. Claims were allowed and
the meeting adjourned. o ly

of Pupllc Utilities Johnson were
