He has only five policemen to asskt him. Then the council went into executive session and made some bright selections for policemen, and three bright, and shiny stars, all political, will dazzle the eyes of the offenders of the law.

Dan Morton, the efficient and faithful policeman of the north side, who has a crippled hand, the result of a murderous bullet from a burglar whom he captured, was laid upon the shelf and Albert Moore, an inexperienced political friend of the mayor appointed. Then on this side, tw grand selections were made. One A. Becker, who has for years held down dry goods boxes and saved the country, but seldom ever labors, was appointed to the police force. He has no trary to general expectations, it was interesting and all but one of the 1893.

L. T. Rench has been released from duty as superintendent of the club house and W. Miller of Tope-ka, is temporarily performing the duties of that office. George H.

Evans, of Topeka, and conncilmen were present. The first thing to receive consider ation was a petition from part of the J. J. Cox, of this city, the well more idea or what the duties or a policeman are, except possibly to draw his salary, than a child, but woe be the offender if he happens to see him. Still with the entire police force, with the exception of Sam Jeans, if there is a row the police are out of sight.

Mr. Herman Hicks Of Rochester, N. Y. eaf for a Year This fact has been frequently demonstrated the last two weeks. Then George Beebe was confirmed.

He has been tried at dog catching and is a success. There now you have the complete known contractors, were on Saturday awarded the contract for the erection of a government building at Fort Worth, Texas, the estimated cost of which is 60,000. Evans Co. were the lowest bidders by $3,000. Evans Cox are now completing a big contract at El Paso, Texas, where they are building a number of government barracks and officers quarters at the fort.

The new postoffice building at Atchison is in their charge and is nearing completion. During the past year when times have been very dull and many mechanics out of employment Evans Co. have provided at least fifty Lawrence mechanics with work at these places. About four o'clock Sunday morning Woodward's drug store was entered and the cash drawer relieved of 310.60. The cigar case was minus a number of choice cigars also.

The thief entered by the back door in the hall which separates the warehouse from the store. He cut out two panes of glass in the upper part of the door which was protected by an iron gate spiked at the top. The spikes did not interfere with the thief's progress however and he helped himself and walked out of the list of all the appointments made by the new mayor, and if there is a single one appointed for his fitness, the Caused by Catarrh in the HeadV Catarrh is a Constitutional disease, and requires a Constitutional Remedy" like Hood's Sarsaparilla to cure it.

Yet the new mayor as far as his personal work is concerned seems inclined to do the fair thing but he is utterly unable to select com local butchers requesting the enforcement of the Sunday closing ordinance. This is another of the tomfool things to be expected from this administration. How any one who does not use ice is to have fresh meat on Sunday is more than any sane man can understand. The trouble of the whole thing was chat some of the shops on the side streets were enjoying a good Sunday morning trade and a few old jealous snoozers sought to stop it. The prohibition mayor had a chance to show his hand last night wnen the petition of Ike Ferris was presented praying for his release from jail without the payment of a fine and costs.

Hankering for Office Asher wished to state a few words. His record on whiskey men and bootleggers is too well known to surprise anyone. He sought to enlighten the council, and informed them that Ferris was being kept in jail at the expense of the city and should be released. He should have added, "that is the way we used to do when I was a county commis sioner. My dear sirs, we pardoned every whiskey seller that asked for a pardon and kept the jail cleaned out.

I looked up the law myself and found to my delight that the county commissioners had the right to release bootleggers from jail and you bet we did it." But Mayor Simmons thought differently, and said that the matter should lay over under the rules and so it did. Otto Fischer warmed 'em up on the question of sidewalks and of course all agreed that something should be speedily done, but the mayor thought that his man Friday, Hankering for Office Asher, should have a hand in it and wanted the matter left with him. He was sure that it would be attended to if Asher would look after the sidewalks. So are the burglars being looked after. Mr.

It seems that Lawrence is undergoing a regular siege of thefts, robberies and burglaries, and from every quarter comes these reports. S. J.

Churchill yesterday flost a set from of buggy harness stolen his barn. The police are unable to understand why the thieves don't come around and give themselves up. It is too hot for tne police to make any efforts to capture these marauders, so the thieving and burglarizing will doubtless continue until the people take the matter in their own hands. The police are incompetent to do anything. The general impression concerning the return of Jim Gross is that he was captured in Michigan and that some one besides Sheriff Hindman will get the reward.

The ring politicians are trying to make it appear that Gross gave himself up, believing that it will go easier with him and that his house may be restored to him. The tax payers will have to foot the bills just the same. What is also causing the people to talk is this: When Hind-man received the telegram, Charlie Tucker said that if that was not from Gross he would pay the Sheriff's expenses, and if Gross was there all right Hindman was to pay Tucker that amouut. Monday Tucker received $32.50 from Hindman. The question is, why was such a proposition made? There is but one subject of conversation among the colored people, and that is the Gross trial.

The attendance at Charlton's court to-morrow will undoubtedly be the largest ever seen. The colored people are excited and will be out in full force. There is but one opinion among them, and that is that Gross is guilty, and unlef a he is convicted, they will never be satisfied. Gross claims to be the leader of the colored people, and by the Republican ring is supposed to be, but they have revolted. A number of the best colored men in the city are heading the they claim that the failure to convict Gross means the downfall of the Republican party in Douglas county.

The success of the Republican ticket is due solely to the colored vote. The refusal of the colored men to vote, means Republican defeat, and if they vote against the ring, then where would these great dry goods box politicians be? church leads with 139 societies; trie Christian church has 123, and the Congregational 94.

Presentation of Diplomas. the idea of introducing the school into the Douglas County Institute and with County Superintendent Peairs, induced Miss Riggs to take a class heie this month. People didn't understand at first and the class was formed slower than was expected, but as soon as the parents became aware that the primary school was something out of" the ordinary, the class began to grow until it now numbers twenty-one. And this twenty-one includes children scarcely more than babies, to the boys and girls who are beginning to know the second reader and do mental "sums" readily. Miss Fanny Riggs is a cousin of Joseph E.

and S. A. Riggs, our well known citizens, and she brings to her work twelve years of experience in primary work. She has also devoted much time to the art of singing by the tonic-sol-fa system which she has introduced here with success. It was the pleasure of a Record reporter to visit the institute this morning and see the practical working of the model school, and the reporter found that far from being tedious as is generally the impression about primary schools the one at the institute proved to be very interesting.

It must needs be a master of these small minds in their various opening stages which can hold the close attention of them all. The little ones forming their letters and being beguiled from the thought of play on a hot morning and the older ones taught to think out a knotty problem all in the same room seems a prodigious task, but it is in reality reduced to seeming ease by the personal magnetism and patience of this capable teacher. It is a study to note the ability of the children to improvise short stories from picture cards by the encouragement of their imaginative powers and their aptitude to say the Gas Company, fell a long fall with a dull, sickening thud. On the motion the following councilmen voted for it: Dicker, Hughes, Rowley, Fischer, Griffin, Williams and Clarke. Shaw, Cox, Grosvenor and Watt did not After all their Herculanean efforts to secure a mayor and council that would do their bidding, the gentlemen of the Gas Company find themselves all in a heap in the ditch.

Then the council took a hand in looking after one John Walker, who formerly cut a great big swath in Republican politics in this county and always had about as loud a mouth as any one in the city. This man Walker professed to be an engineer and contractor, and to him was let the contract of macadamizing Louisiana street. After having the street torn up for a year and finding that he did not know as much about contracting as he thonght he did, Walker left this job unfinished and refuses to do more. On motion of Clarke, a resolution was passed declaring the contract canceled and calling forbids for its completion. Walker gave a oond signed by Alex Monroe that he would complete the work, and a damage suit would be in order, but of course nothing will be done, owing to Walker's former political greatness and as the tax payers and property owners foot the bills.

On motion it was decided to purchase new chairs for the council chambers, and a new chair suitable for the dignity of the mavor to cost about 818.00. Otto Fischer, who has some business about him, stirred up the gar. bage wagon business and to the surprise of the city marshal, there is an ordinance requiring cleaning up. The decayed politician had been eo busy talking politics that he did not know of such an ordinance, in fact he does not know but that Lawrence is the cleanest and healthiest city in the world as he has never been off of the street corners where subjects of political interest are beiDg discussed. The petition of the bicyclists praying a modiflcaiion of the ordinance railroaded through last Monday night, was presented containing 126 names.

The council was addressed by Mr. A. G. Hagerand County Attorney S. D.

To reduce our large stock of millinery, we will offer special bargains for the next two weeks of all the lat the lessons which are learned day by day are now of more importance than JShoppard, both of Perry. A private letter was received Fri a long idle day. The daily sessions continue two hours and a half and are every councilman with one exception was in favor of a modification. That one introduced the ordinance through spite work.and fumed around for fear that it would be reconsidered and he would not gain his point. So uneasy was be that when the gentlemen were addressing the council, he kept continually interrupting them by calling for the "question, question," which is considered the greatest impropriety, especially after the council had given them the privilege to speak.

It is not known what action the mayor will take, but as he is inclined to do what is fair and right, it is the supposition that he will refer the ordinance back to the council. This thing of railroading ordinances through the council, that of introduction and final passage upon the same evening, is a dangerous practice and any councilman who seriously considers the matter must so agree. The politician, the city marshal has come to the conclusion that the marsh ship is not such a snap after all during the hot weather and he wants day from Alex.

There was an attempt at jail breaking Thursday that is likely to make the officials keep a sharp lookout in the future for all visitors to the county jail. It was discovered Thursday afternoon that an effort would be made at night by the prisoners to get out of one of the north windows of the jail. Sam Bryant informed the other officers and at 11 o'clock when everything was still they took their places just above the window and waited.

Very soon the sawing on the iron bar3 could be distinctly heard. The officers fired several shots above the window and the prisoners dropped. The men were "Jumbo" Field sentenced to the "pen" for assault with intent to kill and Clark, who was sent up for robbing Straff on 's second hand store. The men had large butcher knives which they had hacked into saws and which the officers have good reason to think a colored woman vrried in to them. The parties are all being watched and some arrests are likely to be made.

Hankering for Office Asher now has live policemen to assist him and yet the old blister wants the city to furnish him a horse to ride and strut around town. He is already tired, but that is not a circumstance to the weariness the taxpayers will experience before they get through with that lot of ward politicians acting in the capacity of a police force.

The city is now paying $303 per month for police protection and what do they get, while Marshal Prentice, Sam Jeans and Dan Morton did the entire work most of the time last year, and burglaries were very seldom occurrences. Besides there are rumors of jointists and bootleggers running at will now. Tho record of the city marshal is a sufficient guarantee that the violators of tha prohibitory law will not be seriously molested. The reputation of the present police force for incompetency is a sufficient guarantee also to all the burglars, thugs and bums of the land that they can come into Lawrence, make a haul and get away without molestation. Such a lot of mutton heads to guard the property of our citizens has never been gathered together before.
