Show TRUTH 2 a railroad man, who, however, did not want quite so much ground, anc said he would buy all but a rod on the south side, next the. hen house. The agent advised Bill to sell, declaring that Dr. Condon, who lives next door, would be glad to get that extra rod of ground, and Bill told the agent to go ahead and thought no more of the matter. A few days afterward, the agent came back and said the doctor would take the extra rod, paying therefor $200, $100 down and his note for $100 more, payable In thirty days. Bill, remembering the duel he fought with the physician some months ago, snorted out that he would not take the note under any consideration. So the agent took the doctor back his money. That same day the railroad man paid for the property he had bought and now Bill has that lonesome rod of ground on his hands between the property he sold to the railroad man and the residence of Dr. Condon. As soon as he discovered that the railroad man had bought his old home he sent word to the agent to go and make terms. But in the meantime the doctor got on to conditions and when the agent came i round he told him he would give six bits for the ground, half down and the balance in one year at four per cent. Of .course that made Bill wild and if he had any hair to tear out he would go to pulling right away, but his dome of thought is as bare as a billiard ball, so he has to kick himself instead. It is understood that the doctor seriously contemplates advising Bill to erect a sky scraper on the premises. Speaking of Dr. Condon: lie is still booming himself for the speakership of the lower house. The doctor wants the place,; not so much because he believes he has the ability to fill the office, but because he wants to do as well as Bill did. Bill secured the speakership without half trying and did not cpt half as much ice as he advertised' to cut. Doctor Condon thinks if he can get the position he can do so well that Bills record will be forgotten in the glamour which will attach to his own. , The "Heavenly Twins, George M. Ilansen and John D.

SEtWD Last weeks issue contained, among other matters concerning the street car lines, a communication, from Warren Foster, advocating; the issuance of transfers by the street railway company, good until used. Of course the company will not adopt the suggestion made, until it is compelled to do so. That it can be compelled, is evidenced by the fact that the city council of Chicago has passed an ordinance requiring street car companies there to issue an unlimited transfer, good until used, no matter whether the same be presented on the day of issuance or ten years from that time, so long as the passenger rides it out on that part of the system from which it is issued. If our city fathers were to read the papers printed in other cities, and pay attention to Truth each week, they would soon find remedies for the many evils which are confronting us. That some legislation is needed to bring this bulldozing concern to time is evi- dent to all, and the member of the body who declines to take heed at this time, will discover on some future election day that he is several hundred shy of an election. - Lumber in- structed the city attorney to draft an ordinance prohibiting the railroad companies from landing anyone in the city limits, who has not enough cash on his or her person, to enable him or her to get a boarding house, pay a I one-thir- d ' f f t i ness. i . f South; No. 31, North Temple and Poplar Grove; No. 37, First street and Fort Douglas; No. 28, Sixth street and West Temple; No. 13, Warm Springs and Calders Park, and an East SevDHAKA BEER. enth South street car, the number of so it which was covered with snow, fc could not be read.
