ellis had search warrant, and, tax
ing Ayers TO Fairs cabin on Swede,
searched Ayers. During the process
of the search ellis went through all
the clothing of Ayers, from toque
down, taking off three pairs of stock
ings, one at a time. Ayers asked Gill
lis to feel of his foot before taking off
the last pair, but ellis insisted on the
stockings being removed. Ayers rolled
them down, and the bills of various
sums, aggregating S2l0, were found
wrapped around Ayers legs. Ayers
was then brought on to town and put
in jail.
Ayers, in giving his testimony this

the drink one of the times saw Smith
reach into Thoms' trousers and get
a roll of money. Ayers stated that
next morning they met in the barn and
Smith stated he had the roll, and be-
gan to count it, but thrust it back in
his pocket on hearing someone
approach. Ayers stated that later he
found a roll of bills at the roadhouse
door and picked it up and put it in his
pocket. Ayers confirmed the state
ment of ellis as to the arrest and
money being wrapped about the legs
under the stockings.
Both Ayers and Smith were com
mitted for trial under $4,000, but at

made known. AS the clerk finished
reading he said: Look here! where do
[ come in? Are you going to ignore
me entirely?' Everybody laughed,
while the mayor put the new member
right.
Another thing that caused some
people to smile was the fact that Mr..
Mutchler, being named chairman OF
the fire committee, requested to be
relieved of that position, saying be

Standing committees were nam ed by
Mayor Barnes as follows:
Fire-McDonell, Auten and Wood
Finance - Auten, Wood and Nc
Donell.
Street-Bradley and Mutchler.
Police-Wood, McDonell and Bradley

In order to get the lineup before
naming the new committees, Mayor
Barnes asked the clerk to read out the
old committees; Mr.. Bradley, the new
member, did not quite c"t;h the drift
of things and evidently thought the
new committee assignments were hein :

The fact was developed that the con-
tract entered into with Banks & How =
land for water at 81, 200 year is bind
ing for three years from the time of
beginning, providing their part of the
contract is complied with.
1t having been suggested that terms
might be made whereby the city could
buy the apparatus from Banks & How
land, a committee, composed of the
chairmen of the fire, street, finance
and police committees, was appointed
to confer with Banks & How land, bot h
as to terms of purchase and as to re-

price of the wood or number of cords
consumed in fire hall and school to
your ITO cords allowed for your boiler,
SD cords, that would give you 223 cords;
or if you deduct SO of the ITO cords
your wood bill approximately would be
81 900, cutting off S700 of S42S5, which
would bring your top figures to S3,5S5;
then you add $500 for radiators and the

COUNCIL FACES
HARD PROBLEM

When the meeting Of the city coun-
ell was called to order at S;35 last
Wednesday night all the qualified
members answered to the call of their
names. 1t was evidently expected by
some that member-elect WOrden would
come forward and take the oath of
ONCE bat he did not appear.
Under the head of communications
and oils the clerk read an application
from A. f. NIaltby for the position of
cit, attorney.
Mayor Barnes suggested that it
would be well 10 lay over the selection
of all officers to next meeting, in order
TO allow the fixing of salaries. Then
those who desire to apply for places
will be in better position to make
applications Understandings. The
mayor said in his opinion it will be
necessary to reduce the number vi
city employees and make other reduc-
tions in the running expenses. To make
clear his position. he submitted the
following estimate of the probable re-
ceipts for the present fiscal year:
Federal license money. .....,...........S $40, 900
Poll tax 800
Fines, etc. LOCO
Properly taxes commandments. 5000
Total income. ........ ...... $40, 0UU
This estimate is approx $40, 900
below the receipts of last year. Besides
there is a deficit now amounting to
close on $1,000 which will reach fully
that amount by the time the present
council gets settled down to business.
The mayor had prepared a schedule of
reductions in the expenses, which,
he said, appeared to him feasible and
necessary. The expenses under this
scheme would be as follows:
Water supply ..........,. .,,..,,,.......s 5000
Fire chief. 5000
Attorney and clerk . ..... 900
Fuel ................... ..... 800
Light ............... ...... ........... 200
School . .......... ........... ........... 1900
Incidentals w ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. 500
Present Indebtedness .................-.. 5000
Total ..... ... ................... ST. .2O
This would leave probable deficit
at the end OF the year of 500. 1t does
not take into consideration one cent
for street improvements. 1t proposes
reduction of 5000 in the cost OF
water supply, the elimination of the
fire captain and city clerk, and i'm
poses the clerical duties on the city
attorney, with his salary cut in half.

appear to meet with much favor except
by Councilman Mcdonnell. Mr. Wood
thought two men should be kept on the
fire department, and said the city can
not do better than retain the two it
has at present.
Mi. Auten, too, didn't see how man
could be taken off the fire department
and justice still be done the property
owners. Fire protection and the
school, he said, a e the two main
reasons for the existence of the city
government. He said if the legitimate
expenses of the city cannot be met
under the present rate of taxation.
then the tax rate will have to be raised
contending that Immediately it be-
comes known the efficiency of the fire
department is impaired insurance rates
viii be doubled.
Mir. Mutchler interposed the opinion
that police protection is needed as
much as fire protection. He would
have fire chief kept in the fire hall
and a police chief on duty in the town,
to assist the fire chief in case of need.
Mcdonnell Sides with Barnes.
Mr.. Mcdonnell said the council made
mistake year ago by starting off
TOO brash. 1t then should have kept
within its income instead of going into
debt. He would like TO see the town
grow so that it can support two men on
the fire department, as well as do many
other things needful. But at this time
it is not a question of what we would
like to see so much as what it is posi-
BILE to do, The present expenses are so
high the money cannot be provided to
meet them; therefore the expenses
will have to be made to suit the con-
ditions.
Proposed City Ownership.
The discussion continued pro and con
at great length and occasionally
touched on a scheme for the CITY to
own its own fire and water system,
upon which committee composed OF
the chairmsn Of the fire and finance
committees had submitted a report.
This report named as essential for
carrying out the scheme one 3O-horse-
power Farquhar boiler, $1,000; one
l016x10 Worthington duplex pump,
1855; ITO cords wood, 81, 700; installing
plant, $500; total, 1925.
Says the report; There has been SO
cord. of wood bought in the last eight
months: ID cords 16-foot wood and 40
cords 4foot wood at an approximate
price of Sl3 per cord, making total OF
$3.50. When you add the cost of saw
ing the l6-foot wood it will bring the
total cost of wood to $748. By install
ing steam radiators in your school and
irehall at cost not to exceed $500
you will have good clean heating
system that can be regulated according
to the variation of the Temperature Q.

PLATFORMS OF
BOTH ARE BAD
Roosevelt Comments of What
Two Old Parties Stand For

New York, July 26-In his contribu-
ton to the current issue of the Outlook
on Platform Insineerity," Colonel
Roosevelt makes a sweeping attack on
the platforms of the Republican and
Democratic parties.
Both platforms are bad, Colonel
Roosevelt says, and the only hope Is
with the progressives. If the promises
Of the Baltimore platform are carried
out, and he doesn't believe they will
be, the colonel sees a nation wide dis
aster and that Woodrow Wilson will
have to violate the platform or see
business destroyed. After taking 9
fling at the Wilson administration in
New Jersey on the trust question,
Roosevelt says:
There Is not a dishonest trust in
the country that could not afford to
support the Democratic platform rather
than face the honest and efficient pur-
pose Of the progressive party, and there
Is not an honest business concern in
the country that would not be ruined
If the promises of the Democratic
party were kept. The platforms Of

cies Of protection must be removed
from the farmer and the laborfng man
no less than from the manufacturer,
and duties must be imposed upon such
articles as tea and coffee. Continuing,
he says:
"Of course, it would not be strictly
enforced. As with the tariff, IL DR..
Wilson were elected he would at once
have to face the question whether he
would violate the platform or destroy
all business. New Jersey has been In
the past well known for It's leniency in
permitting the formation of trusts to
operate outside the state. DR.. Wilson
has been at the head of it's government
for nearly two years, yet during that
time nothing Of real Importance has
been done"

Advice For Proafessives-
OF tho progressive platform Colonel
Roosevelt says:
81 very earnestly hope that the pro
gressive party will bear this fact in
mind when it comes to building Its
platform. Not only should the plat
form be right, but 1t should be so
clearly drawn as to make the inten-
tons of those who draw it perfectly
Understood by the average man; 1t
should deal wisely and boldly with the
new issues confronting our people and,
finally, 1t should scrupulously refrain
from promising anything that cannot
be performed and should clearly show
that 1t intends, in q matter of honor
able obligation, to carry out every
promise made"
1t is hopeless to endeavor to punish
one party by voting for the other, &C
cording to Colonel Roosevelt, as the
bosses will be In control anyway. He
says:
"The Baltimore platform offers as
good an example as any platform OF
the last thirty years of what has Be
come a typical vice Of American poll
tics-the avoidance Of saying anything
real on real issues and the announce
ment Of radical policies with much
sound and fury and at the same time
with a cautious accompaniment of
weasel phrases, each Of which sucks
the meat out of the preceding state
ment."
