He s he does not know who the boys are Oscar Hanon of Valley township was be- fore the Insane commissioners yesterday on the strength of an information filed by Charles Warner.

Te has moved into a house next door to Chief Scanlan, and atnounces his intention of pat- terning his career after those of his neigh- bors, who have attained eminence. The probability is that when the demo- cratic convention takes place this evening at the court house the Colonel William Henry Knepher delegation from the Second precinct of the Second ward will be ad- mitted to scats in preference to the regu- larly appointed delegates. Colonel Knepher clalms he had forty-seven men at his caucus, while the so-called regular only had thirtcen, and he proposes to show R. N.

The case of Anna Damitz against Willlam Bauerkemper, «in which the plaintiff sues for damages, alleging that the defendant is the father of her babe, was to have been tried yesterday, but by an agreement of at- torneys it went over until next term.

GRADES OF Wil Finish Today. The work of grading Union avenue will probably be finished today, possibly by noon, and the 230 men who have been making good wages will be again out of employment. When the grading commenced there was ap- parently not the slightest idea in the minds of those at the head of affairs as to how much work there would be. Superintendent Harris stated that it would glve work to 200 men for sixty days. An cverage of about 150 men have been employed each day for eight days and the work is all dope. The one promigent feature about the whole thing was the energy displayed by the men cmployed. Some of them had been out of employment for months and they realized the necessity of making hay while the sun shone. Every morning as early as 5:30 o'clock the teams would be at work hauling dirt to the place of operations, and although the men and teams had to wait until 7 o'clock, when the foreman came tc give out the tickets, they did so gladly. Some of them have made $6 a day, und many of them as much as $4, so that the wolf has been given many a good scare away from the back door, even if he has not been put out of the way entirely. Wood Resigns, Alexander Wood yesterday afternoon filed with the city clerk his resignation as candl- date for park commission on the republican ticket, and asked that nis name bo not printed on the city tickets, Chairman Arnd of the city central commitiee was seen yes- terday and stated that he would call a meet- Ing today for the purpose of putting another andidate in the field. Mr. Wood states that fivo years is too long a term for an office that hasn’t anything in it but a lot of work and worry, hence his resignation. No one has s0 far been mentioned as his successor, and it is not impossible that the republicans will endorse A, C. Graham, as they did five years ago. Mr. Graham is a democrat, and he is not the nominee of his own party as yet. But o undoubtedly will be, and some of his friends in tho republican party are in fayor of nominating him in advance of the conven- tion of his own party. Populiats Divided. The populists of the city were to ha held meetings last evening in all the wards for the purpose of choosing delegates to a city convention tomorrow evening at Liberty hall, In the Third ward, where an alderman was to have b n nominated, there was no meet- ing whatever, and in the Fourth there was n ly a little gathering of populists who put in the time cussing and discussing Wi street, Thomas Bowman, Grover Cleveland and the motor company. In the First, Sec- ond and Sixth wards delegates were selected and in the Sixth Joseph Sherlock was nom- inated candidate for alderman. There is a strong feeling among some of the leading representatives of the people's party that nothing will be gained by having a ticket in the field.

County Must Take n Ky Mrs. Jane Kirby, whose her children were aired in the newspapers some weeks ago, has applied to JOverseer of the Poor Swearingen for assistance. Her case is a sad one, in spite of the fact that she seems to be largely to blame for her present destitute coudition. All her sons and daughters are residents of this county and well fixed financially. Some of .them are willing to provide for her support, but she will have nothing to do with them, while others will not help her and to them she clings with all her mother's affection. She 1s now 50 old as to be almost helpless, ar yet Is compelled to call upon the county for support. Mr. Swearingen appeared before the board of supervisors yesterday and asked that the county attorney b> instructed to bring a suit in order that it might be de- termined who was (o be compelled to look a. difficulties with after her welfare. This action was not taken, but it is Iikely that a lawsuit of some kind Wil be neceseary In order to keep her from starving L All at Hait Price, We will continue to sell all our frames and pictures at just half price all this week f evening.

A. Brown, a member of the firm of Brown Bros. of this city, dled Sunday at Greeley, Colo., where he had gone for his health. " His death was from consumpiion. A 22-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs Conley, “residing southwest of Creston, was fatally’ shot last evening by her younger brother. It was the old story of ““didn’t know it was loaded.” The boy was snapping the gun at his sister when the weapon was dis charged. The gun was loaded with buckshot and the charge tore away the lower part of the girl's chin, lacerating her neck and breast, and also wounding her right arm, which she had rafsed Defore her face just be- fore the weapon was discharged. Physicians report the wound serious and probably fatal, The democratic ward caucuses were held last evening and the following gentlemen se- lected: First ward, George Wilbee; Second ward, A. J.
