GITY IS REDEEMING ITS BONDED INDEBTEDNESS Sinking Fund Committee Redeem the $7,000 Water Works Bonds.— Fire Limits Established. b 2 At the regular meeting of the council last evening but little business of importance was transacted. The meeting was called to order by vice chairman, W.N. Bowser, and after the reading of the minutes of the last meeting and the allowance of the usual bills the work of the evening was taken up. The city attorney filed an opin- ion that according to the charter the mayor and members of the council were not entitled to pay, and suggested that a test case be made, Mayor J. P. Pogue, City Attor- ney J. F. Gibbons and City Treasurer Earl Geil, the mem- bers who have charge of the sink- ing fund, reported they had taken up the $7,000 worth of six per cent bonds which mature in October 1908, ata premium of $210. As the interest on these bonds would amount to consider- able, quite a saving has been made. A number of bonds were passed upon and some referred back for correction, completion or new securities, The fire ordi- nance was given its second read- ing and some amendments made.

Brewery Strikers at St. Louis Fail to Resume Work. 8t. Louis, April 2.—Ignoring the threat made Saturday night by the owners of the brewerles to declare Open shop unless the striking em- ployes resumed work pending arbitra- tion of the wage scale dispute the malsters, brewers, bottlers, firemen, oilers and laborers assembled in vari- ous halls for further discussion of the situation. None returned to work. The boss brewers also held a confer- ence to declde what further steps to take. Negotiations looking to the settle- ment of the strike are under way. Secretary Adam Huebner of the Inter- national Brewery Workers’ union ar- rived from Cincinnati and with Louis Hemper, another secretary of the un- ion from Cincinnati, arranged with the brewery proprietors for a confer- ence. Officialg of the American Fed- eration of Labor, with which the fire- men, oflers, teamsters and engineers are afflliated, have arrived, but would make no statement concerning the purpose of their presence beyond that they are here to observe the strike conditions. Although the ultimatum of the em- ployers declaring an open shop went into effect during the day there was no rush of nonunion men to take the places of the strikers and compara- tively few were secured. Millionaire Pittsburger Suicides. Pittsburg, April 2—While suffering from suicidal mania George B. Bos- well, fifty-two years old, a retired busi- ness man, millionaire and art con- noisseur, committed suicide in the East Liberty station of the Pennsyl- vania railroad by shooting himself in the head. Considerable mystery sur- rounds the causes of the nervous breakdown, as Boswell was not known to have any serious troubles. Kills Sweetheart and Himself. Portland, Ore., April 2.—Rendered insanely jealous at the sight of his sweetheart in company with another man Roscoe James, son of the super- Intendent of the Oregon penitentiary, shot and killed Miss Grace N.

Stanley, a commercial traveler, was killed: here hy Wesley Christopher. Christopher assaulted a young woman in an alley and when Stanley heard her sereams he ran to her rescue and ‘was shot in the heart. Christopher ‘was arrested. KILLS WIFE AND ¥HIMSELF. Minneapolis Man Also Fires One Shot at His Daughter. Minneapolis, April 2.—Joseph D. Havel, a laborer, shot and killed his wite, tried unsuccessfully to murder his daughter and blew out his own brains. Havel and his wife had quarreled because the man repeatedly returned home in a drunken condition. Last January the woman drove him from the house and had the police keep him away. Two weeks ago Mrs. Havel had her husband arrested for drunkenness.and he was sent to the workhouse for. ten days. As soon as he was liberated he made straight for his wife’s home. He went to the back door of the house about 10:30 p. m., where he met his wife. She became frightened at see- ing him and ran into the house. Havel followed her and caught her in.the diningroom. Here he drew a revolver and fired twice, both bullets lodging in the woman’s head above the ear, killing her instantly. He turned around, went into the kitchen and fired one more shot at his daughter Rose, aged nineteen, who was working there. The hullet fortu- nately went wide of its mark. Then the murderer placed the pistol to his head, back of his ear, and shot twice, falling to the floor and dying in five minutes. TAFT ANXIOUSLY AWAITED. Cubans Have Many Questions for His Consideraticon. Havana, April 2.—Secretary of War Taft’s arrival here is’ awaited with keen anxiety by politicians and gov- ernment officials. Many questions of moment have been held for his con- sideration and decislon that will mean much to Cuba. Financial and political iInterests generally demand definite information regarding the policy of the United States. The uncertainty creates un- easiness, both politically and finan- clally, throughout the country. English interests, particularly the railroad companies, are also anxious to know precisely what the Washing- ton government proposes to do. The Liberal politiclans have a large number of propositions for running the country which they are eager to submit to Mr. Taft. His attitude to- ward them is looked forward to with interest. TROOPS SENT TO SCENE GOVERNOR OF ALASKA APPEALS TO PRESIDENT FOR AID IN CONTROLLING STRIKERS. ‘Washington, April 2.—The acting governor of Alaska has appealed tic the president for troops to preserve the peace at the Treadwell mines in Alaska, where about 700 miners are reported to be on strike. After secur- ing an opinion from the judge advo- cate general of the army to the effect that ncthing in the law would operate to prevent the use of troops in such a case the order has been given to the military commander at Fort Seward to send one company of troops from that post to Treadwell, under com- mand of a discreet officer, to protect the public property and assist the United States marshal in executing the laws. He is authorized to in- crease this force if, in his discretion, the situation at the mines appears to Tequire it. BEATEN AND STARVED. Suspect Tells of Police Treatment for Refusing to Confess. Chicago, April 2.—Leonard Leopold, one of the defendants in the Margaret Leslie murder trial, took the stand at the opening of court.

He said that he had been denied food and water, but had been told-by the police that he could have both if he would make a confession. MARKET QUOTATIONS. " Minneapolis Wheat.

Why a Swelling Follows a Blow. The swelling which follows from a blow is nature’s effort to protect the! part from further injury and to keep it at rest while air is going on. What actually takes place at the seat of in- jury is not even now quite understood. | The injury to the smaller blood vessels Interferes the flow of Dlood through them, and the white corpus- cles, with part of the serum, the wa- tering part of the blood, escape into the surrounding tis: At the same time the blood vessels in the neighbor- hood dilate, and the increased flow of blood with the thoroughfare obstructed inereases the swelling. It is probable that the white corpuscies of the biood pass into the {issues to assist in the re- pair, as bees or ants assemble at an in- jury to their storehouse, but with this difference—that the substance of the corpnseles is probably converted into the tiscue of From oue point of view the human body is only one gi- gantic colony of individuals and the sweliing that follows injury but the rush of these to repair the breach. A Quzint Scotch Wedding Custom. A quaint wedding custom still pre- vails in me of the little country towns and mining villages in Scotland. When a wedding is held the contract- ing parties make their guests pay in full for the eating, drinking and danc- ing facilities which are usually pro- vided on such occasions. The practice still seems to survive even in Glasgow. A correspondent observed a notice posted up in the Cowcaddens, a low class Glasgow thoroughfare, informing the public that a soldier would shortly enter into the bonds of wedlock and that twopénce would be charged for admission to the ceremony and an ad- ditional sixpence imposed for attend- ance at the wedding feast. The prac- tice seems to be peculiarly Scotch, but sixpence certainly seems moderate enough for a marriage supper.—West- minster Gazette. [z The Reader Who Skips. A good work of fiction, whether in prose or in verse—we are here speak- ing only of good works—is a work of art and can be rightly enjoyed only by entering into sympathy with the art- ist'’s mind and accepting his work ac- cording to his intention. In a perfect poem the place of every word, in a per- fect novel the place, if not of every word, of every episode and of every paragraph, is important, and the reader who. skips throws away the pleasure he has meant to derive from the har- mony of composition, In which very possibly the beauty of the whole may chiefly consist, and despises .the best part of the artist’s labor. He might as well go to sce a good play and then willfully miss every alternate scene.— Exchange. 3 Atmespheric Temperature.

His Hard Luck. “Can’t yeu find any work at all?” “Tlenty, sir. but everybody wants references from my last employer.” “Can’t you get them?” “No, sir. He's been dead twenty- eight years."—Illustrated Bits. All the world likes a lover, because he is usually such a good joke.—Den- ver Post. “To the Bitter End.” One of the most interesting phases of the study of language is the peculiar manner in which words and phrases originating in. mistakes finally grow Into the common speech of the people. | An instance of this Is the expression 3 “to the bitter end,” which is common- 4 ly used to denote the final extremity of a crisis. Although perfectly proper today, it is in reality a mistake. The correct phrase is “to the betfer end” and arose from the fact that when a vessel has paid out all her cable storm it has run out to the end which has been little used and therefore to the better end. Daniel Defoe uses th> proper phrase in “Robinson Crusoe” in his description of the storm at Yar- mouth when he says, “We rode with two anchors abead and the cables veer- ed out to the better end.” Plenty of Practice, “I met your friend Dubley today.” “Yes?” I haven’t seen him for a long time.

In fact, 1 came home for fear I was going broke my- gelf.”—Cleveland Press. A Nice Legal Distinction. A lawyer in the Indian Territory named McGann was the attorney for a farmer who had killed a neighbor. McGann got the man out on bail on the plea of justifiable homicide or some- 1 thing of the kind, and the farmer im- o] medlately took his gun and killed the chief witness against him, : Naturally this nettled the sheriff and i the judges, and they offered $300 re- | ward for the murderous farmer. *Say,” = | said McGann to the sherlff, “will you plve me that reward if I get him?” “Yes,” the sheriff replied, and McGann rode out to the hiding place of his elient. The farmer came up, and McGann shot him, took the body back to town mnd demanded the reward. “How about this, McGann?” asked another lawyer. “Do you think itis In accord- ance with the ethics of the legal pro- fession to take advantage of your cli- — ent in that manner?” “Ethics be blow- | ed!” snorted McGann. “I killed him in 8 another case.”—Exchange.
