The city board Of health, represent
ed by City Attorney Bradford and Dr..
Pence, superintendent, conferred with
the county commissioners Monday rel

vor of this, while the other commits
sioners agree that such a building
should be erected, but they fear that
other towns in the county will make
the same request.

 WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?
 Alderman Walker promptly began to hunt for the source of the handbi1Is, but he had not progressed far before he ran into the report that he himself had caused them to be issued, in order to excite sympathy fo. his candidacy
 Alderman Walker promptly author ized this statement through the columns of The Farmer:
 ttI will give $500 to any charity if any person is able to show that had any connection with the issuance of this circular. I knew nothing of it until 6:3O this morning when I re- ceived a telephone call from a friend who told me, of finding it on his door step.
 ''I'l1 go stiH further. I'll pay a sub- stantia1 reward to any person who gives me information as to who is really responsible for this handbin''
 Walkers s disavowal Of the "A. P. Az circular, as it was promptly termed, precipitated many stories as to it's origin. The police departme took the matter up bright and early Every member of the detective bureau was instructed to try to trace the origin of the circular and the methods enn- ployed in it's distribution.
 This is a holy day in the Catholic church, and the masses in the early hours brought many Catholics togeth- CT. Outside several of the churches were strewn the handbi1ls.
