He restrained himself in where he cannot be discovered when writing the preface to that report, but emergencies require his attention. conversation with callers has expressed his opinion freely, and it has been strong on all occasions. Since the death of Senator Hanna the president has. had a greater control over the national committee than he hd before that time, because the acting chairman. Postmaster General Payne.

Several hills for services rendered bv physicians to patients taken charge of by the city have recently been nresented to the city council for payment. It appears from the daily papers that on several occasions when emergency reauired the presence of the city physician, the police department has been unable to locate him and another doctor has had to he summoned. Very recently an Injured man was compelled to endure, pain for two . or three hours, while the police department officials vainly endeavored to ascertain the whereabouts of the city physician. It strikes Truth that Dr. Stewart would make, a more lasting reputation if he was to quit running around in an. effort to put up political jobs and strictly attend to the business of his office. The service he renders the city is very slight compared to the amount of money he draws down each and every month. The taxpayers do not pay money Into tbe treasury with a view to having it The city physician should be available at all times. If he goes out of an evening, he should notify the police department where he can be found, so that the treasury need not be depleted by paying doctors for doing the work he is paid to do. o FUMIGATED THE FARO TABLE. A booster named Harrington, who has been engaged at the Green Light gambling house on Commercial .street for some time, contracted smallpox somewhere and while cautiously betting his stack on Wednesday last broke out with the disease. The dealer told him to hike for a doctor and he did. In due time, which means very promptly, he landed at the isolation hospital. Then the quarantine men started up to the Green Light to do some business. Everything was going full tilt when the boys landed there, armed with sheets, squirt bottles and all sorts of formaldehyde. The faro table was surrounded by a crowd of eager players, the roulette wheel merrily turned while the skipping marble bounded from number to number and the stud poker game was doing a business calculated to make a land office look like a funeral. What does this mean? asked the hed soueere, who sat In the look-ou- t y chair. Means fumigate. sententious-lreplied Mr. Woodard, tbe man with the revolving' spray syringe.

Git, vamoose, hike, vacate,, evacuate, slide, because Im going to set this thing going and if any of it gets on your glad rags you will smell so loud people wont let you come within a block of The proprietor vainly the house. to induce the quarantine men tried to forego the pleasure of sprinkling his place with the disinfectant, but it was of no use. The boys fumigated everything in sight, not forgetting the patent squeezers and when they had t. por-ambulat- e, . P. J. finished the Green Light smelled like thirty-fou- r hundred and ninety drug stores. The game ceased, the players went away and business stopped. The Globe rooming bouse, where Harrington boarded, was also fumigated, much to the disgust of the inmates. o THE CITYS MENDICANTS. be-Ue- so-calle- PHONE 4th DEATH OF BEN HADDOCK. The death of Ben Haddock, as a result of a physical encounter with his Porter, was a distressing event. Ben was a good old soul and deserved a better fate. Life with him was never a round of pleasure and everything he had he worked hard for, and surely It would have been no more than justice to have let him live out his days and die naturally. The young man has, by his action, placed himself in a very unenviable position, for even if held Innocent of any criminal intent it appears that Ben had just caught him in the act of striking his wife and, father like, endeavored to inflict punishment upon him for striking his daughter man and Haddock was a not physically strong, while Porter is one-arme- d MAIN 719 AND 03 rlna STREET. 430 YARD NO. 2.

Telephone number of the voters that there should be a change In the personnel of thoso who were in charge of tbe business of the municipality. The heads of tho departments should, like the members of the board of public works, have gracefully stopped down and out. In private life no person of any Independence would for a moment dream of continuing in the employ of another who didnt want him, and who had expressed his desire in unmistakable terms to get rid of him. The heads of denartmeuts who are In collusion with the self ptvled renuhlimn members of tbe council to retain those beads of departments in office are pimply mendicants In receipt of public charity nd backing for a contiroi'mcn the p1s which they sre receiving.

The republicans of the city council have not rejected any of, tho mayors appointments on account of them unflt-nos- s or Incapacity, but solely and only because the hobos of tho council representing the hobo element are in collusion with the mendicant office holders to perpetuate them in office in order tht they may live on the unwilling charity of the taxpayers.

What a ubiquitous person Senator Reims is. Ilfs organs, tho Tribune, Telegram and Ilorald, have him In making Washington eloquent and his speeches using untiring efforts in numerous ways on behalf of his constituents nnd at the same time the same papers report him In New York or Chicago. Hero is a case in point on Friday, February 20, tho Tribune had the following: Senator Kearns was at the bureau of forestry today regarding tho creation of the Tooele forest reserve petitioned for. This reservo will not ho created unless the citizens who havo purchased lands by agreement from the state of Utah within the boundaries of the proposed reserve will release the land to the state. If this is dono the state must release said lands to tho government nnd select in lieu thereof a similar number of acres of public land In another part of tho state. On Sunday, February 28, the same paper had the following: Senator Kearns returned to Washington today from Chicago, having accompanied Mrs. Kearns that far on her Journey home. The senator has received a peti- tion from a number of women In Ogden, the wives, sisters and daughters of honorably discharged soldiers, urging the passage of service pension bill. He will put the petition before the senate on Monday. Few people can be in Chicago and Washington at one and the same time. This, however, Is only another example of the wonderful abilities of our senior senator. o Danish Bacon Factories.
