OEHLSCHLAEGER & WALKER DRUGGISTS Fifth and Broadway, WRITTEN AT RANDOM. A young man who frequents the Union depot is mortally afraid of war. He bas exhausted bis vocabu- lary trying to convince those with whom he comes in contact that there should be no war, and when it is even suggested that he dona uniform and fight he turns a sickly pale and quickly leaves the locality, ‘The other day a crowd assembled in the Junch room and began to talk Their secret object was to get him worked up. Each individual expressed himself as determined to have war. Each one wanted to en- list at once, The young man paced the {loor and looked miserable. He walked over to the counter and picked up a Sunday Peper. There was nothing but war! war! war! “Nothing but war!’ he exclaimed impatiently, as he threw the paper down and made another tour of the room. ‘“‘“— newspaper men want war!'’ ‘‘——- railroad men want war! rs doctors want war! —— hackmen want war! —— express drivers want war! everybody wants war! This is the blank, blankety blankest coun- try I ever saw for war. Everybody wants war but me. 1 wish I'd never seen this—— country! I wish 1 had money to get out of it!" «And slamming the door he went outside to let the cool air restore his courage. i $ < ITS PINCH TENSION TENSION INDICATOR, (devices for regulating and showing the exact tension) are a few of the features that scoohasiee the high grade character of the Whits Sead for our elegant H.

Davis for superintendent of the municipal electric light plant. He had the clerk read an affidavit from both Mr. Davis and himself, and said he took this means of vindicating himself because he was tired hearing about the affair.

City Prosecuting Attorney Camp bell was present and explained that the ordinance was drafted to cover certain cases. He said an instance came up Saturday wherein a gentle- man was refused avy more water un til division fences were built between three houses on the same lot, the company alleging as the reazon the fact that outside persons were ob- taining water from the bydrant, Mr. Campbell said if outsiders used the water the company had recourse in prosecuting them,but shoald not have the right to arbitrarily shut off the water at any house. he ordinance was given first pass- age by an unanimous vote. The ordinance regulating the busi- ness of hawkers and hucksters was given second reading. Mr. Elliott moved to amend by substituting a license of $25 for the one of $40. The amendment was lost.

Mr. George C, Thompson was present, and made a statement from his standpoint. He offered to pay fifty cents on the dollar on the fran- chise tax, Chairman Fowler, of the finance deemed a franchise tax burdensome and unjust. The question was, how was the council to offer relief, He suggested that the matter be deferred and it was so ordered, a meeting to be called for the purpose of settling the matter, Councilman Fowler offered a reso- lution asking the mayor to ‘weed committee, stated that the committee] © ancer.

Davis, of the city electric plant, had stated he, Mr. Eades, had agreed to accept $50 for his vote for Mr. Frank P. Davis, superintendent of the plant. Ile said further he wanted to set- tle it for all time to come and hear uo more about it.
