slelt. " From the orgnnlzatlonpf tlio pa-scut
council till the matcrinlizcd hnnd of the boss
of thu prior council let tlio people know that
llio change of n few members did not change
tlio policy nor acts of the council , nor wcro
thu bam'onlan locks of the boss shorn by the
last ilert luu washout , the puoplo hoped nnd
intiny of them prayed tliut tlio dlsgrecof ul
pn t'ln municipal affairs would not bo re
peated.
Hut they wcro dtsapolntcd. The very ilrst
nets of thu now council nrouscd suspicion In
the inliulfiof the moro cautious , The old coun
cil do-ted with little less unenviable notoriety
nnd ptibllo disgrace than did Boss Tweed's
regime In New York City. Cautiously at
first , tin n ns openly nnd brazenly ns a brass
hitching peat , did tlio now council follow Ifl
tlio tiilnUidwnkound iiultuto thu bungllngs of
its predeceaso' .
'iiio monkey-work nnd Jugglery in connec
tion with the Q street viaduct Bntislled
every observer that curtain member * of
the council wcro manipulating the municipal
finances nnd blackmailing thu King Hritlgo
company with inorceniiry ends in view. Then
when the council trnnslerrcd several thou
sands of dollars from other funds tothostrccl
nnd tillev and viaduct fund , in violation of
law lo pay a deficit , Illegally contracted and
Illopill ) pild , and the injunction suit against
paying the King bridge company tlio balance
due , wus ( iiiietlynndBystemnticully dissolved ,
in consideration , ns is cenerally believed , of
the payment of f. > 00 to otiu party and the Judi
cious distribution of oil to others , no one In
the city could bo found who could glvo the
council a "good character" for honesty and
purity in the neighborhood in which they re
sided. _
From the time of this transaction till the
present nothing of public inteiest in
which much was at stake lias been done by
tlio council except In such a way as toexcilo
suspicions or produce public opposition und
coinlemiiatlon.
M. 1) . O'JJonovan caino in with n bill for
$ l,0'.ll ' for extras on the sewer built lust year ,
and , diMpito tlio adverse report of thu ex-city
tmrvoyur nnd chairman of thu committee on
htl'outs and alloys , after the matter hu"d been
ncfrutivc'd in the council several times , the
claim uos allowed in full. In ciigineorliig1
this claim overtures wcro made to represen
tative. ! of the press to induce them lo report
It ns just. Tlio distribution of 500
among members of the city council
and olllicials , Is commonly bcjlevcd to bu the
Borixt of granting the claim.
I'ollrng directly in thu wako of that job
conn : tlio frtijUOO claim of the ice company.
This just paralyzed the community and
iiilscd a .storm of indignation. Then when
when the council authorised n Judg
ment for $ -1,500 , in lull settle
ment of the lee company's clulm , the feeling ,
then at fever heat , caused citizens to at once
file a hill In the district court to enjoin the
payment nnu to set aside the Judgment. The
people generally believed this to bo an ex
cessive claim , but those familiar with it con
cede that thu ice company has a just claim ,
the only question being , -how much ) Soon
after the damage was sulTored an arbitration
connniUcK ) awarded the ice company morp
than it hud claimed.
Hut now comes the most glaring instance
of alleged corruption. Tlio Chicago , Keck
Island & Paclllo railroad company wanted
the right-of-way through the city to get to
the Union stock yards. An ordinance , num
bered li'JO.wns drawn and referred to the com
mittee. It wis so drawn that ovcrv privilege
was ranted the raihoad company and no
provisions made to protect the rights ami In
to rest u of the citizens. 'Jim
chairman of the committee , determined that
such an ordinance should not bo passed , re
fused to send the ordinance to a council
meeting helu Into , and after ho had gone
homo to bo railroaded through , ns ho knew It
would bo. Then commenced the work of en
gineering the council. At the next meeting
of the city council , the opposition of the
cnnlnium of the committee , assisted by ono
of the members irom the First ward , suc
ceeded In sending the ordinance buck to
bo redrawn. Then an ox-county
ofllclnlwas found a willing tool.
To c.irry out the conspiracy tlio attorney for
the railroad company was present nt the
mcctiiiK of the city council and openly de
clared that the company would not accept the
ordinance ns drawn and passed. In the
meantime , this ox-county ofllclal had been
doing some successful bungle work and hud
secured enough of the city council to Insure
the passage of the ordinance. From this
ox-county oflicial ono member of the city
council received a check for $200 , another
member received a * check for $ ' , ' 50 , another
member received a check for $250 , and an
other gentleman , who acted as the llscal de
partment and distributing agent , received
fci.bOO. This last member has been accused
of being inequitable la his distribution of
the swng.
Hero the trouble hegnn. Those who failed
to got an equal dlvy of the stulT began kick
ing. Then when Tun HP.B published the
grst and only correct account of this deal and
blackmailing scheme , the telltale tracks had
to bo covered up , nnd ut once the bungllmj
ex-ofllclal went buck ever his
tracks nnd began taking up the checks and
paying cash for them. Since then im nddi-
lionnl trip was necessary to nppoaso the Icicle-
el's and the Inequitable distribution of the
Jiscnl tipcat was made all right in the opinion
of boodlcrs by cash sufllcicnt to mnlro every
member feel that howas just as valuable a
servant ns the other fellows.
The heartless indlffcroncoof the city coun
cil to the Interests of the city nnd the rights
k and properties of citizens , many of whoso
' properties would bo literally confiscated by
the ordinance ns passed , begun to protect
themselves by un apienl | to the courts to
annul the ordinance. The railroad company
whoso legal agents would not accept the ordi-
nunco , Is now quietly buylngupUio property
or settling claims made by property holders
for their property that will bo completely
ruined by rights granted under the ordinance
us passed.

capitnU is destined to bo broken In upon In n
manner that will prove very uncomfortublo to
him , to say the least.
The story Is ono of romanticism of the real
sort.
sort.Somo
Some two years ago thcro lived In the city
of Oakland , Cul. , a lively bundle of fcmluhio
witchery named Suslo iluttcroth. Although
she was dashln ? In manner , yet she was
wlthulo womanly woman as bright and do-
scrvlngas perhaps any-above whom the golden
skies of the western coast have ever bonded.
Living also la Oakland was ono Herman
Flckcnschcr. a wealthy widower with three
charming chlldicn.
Herman sought the hnnd of Suslo In mar-
rlago and she could not at Ic.wt tlld not re
sist the opportunities to bccomo his wife.
They had lived together but a few mouths
when Herman became tired ot Ids second
matrimonial compact , but It scums that ho
was not tlio man to quit loser even In n part
nership where love U supposed to bo tho'ono
consideration. Quietly nnd nil by his lone
some ho made preparations not only for quit
ting the marriage state , uut California state
also.
also.Af
Af tor procuring his wife's name to what
real estate she had amounting to about
$11,000 ho deserted her.
Immediately upon llndlng herself duped
"and deserted , Mrs , Flckenscher set about
finding the bud Herman.
Soon she secured what proved to bo some
very excellent pointers regarding the man's
whereabouts and particularly his property ,
ho having always happened not to give her
any particulars regarding the latter , during
the few months that they lived together.
Last summer shoe line to Omaha , expectIng -
Ing to go on to St. Paul und put detectives on
the chase for him.
llenmin heard that she was after him , and
after dodging her sleuth hounds for some
time , ho scat her a flag of truco.
Suslo loved the man. Her feelings con
quered her distaste of his notions nnd she re
ceived him back , her reception being mtulo nil
the moro easy by the fact that Herman came
forth from his biding with tcjirs In his eyes.
The meeting occurred In thiseityandaftor
a brief seance of pardoning , forgiving and
forgetting , they Blurted off on ti now bridal
tour to St. Paul. Suslo was so dead In earnest
about the make-up nnd was so anxious to
show Herman that she considered his pica of
nover-do-lt-agala as perfectly sincere , thut
she deeded him n snug lot of the real e < tate
that ho had taken from her a little while
before.
With Herman this mako-up was simply n
bit of by-play to his original game ot "doing"
the nll-conlliUng Susie. After a little time ho
again got her to conlldo in him so perfectly
thut upon the pica that hocouldturn horprop-
erty to advantage to her ho being In the real
estate business she deeded it all over to
hlm-Sll.OOO worth.
With tlio trump card of his dishonest game
again in his baud Herman Fickensher loit no
tlmo In again leaving the little woman whoso
love and pity hid not only shielded him from
the law's meshes , but hud again reinstated
him before all the world as her confidant
her husband.
With the drying of the ink on the dccils to
Susie's property Herman took the train for
New York city and from there sailed for
Europe where Lo is now traveling.
Suslo is now In the city and if her heart
contains the least particle of confidence in
man particularly llcr-man it would take n
microscope of greater power than is known ill
this day nnd generation to llnd it.
But this ill-fortuned lady from the golden
fitato has considerable pluck under her jacket ,
Having decently interred the remain * of her
love for Fickeiwcher in n little grnvo that she
dug in one corner of her heart she has set
about to regain the property out of which she
alleges that ho has swindled her. Thirteen
pages of tvpo-wriUon mattor.propavcd by her
attorney , Silas Cobb , osq. , tell the court her
story from beginning to end.
At present t' " > husband seems to have the
advantage , lorho has converted tlio property
into negotiable paper which may bo floated
llko greenbacks. The lady hopes , however ,
to obtain a largo share ot her little fortune
back. She is reaching out not only for her
? M,000 , but for a portion of * i > ,000 or fciO.OOO
which Herman harvested for himself during
iho real estate boom in this city.

linmcutary movement last week. I had the
honor of being present ntan unofficial con
gress composed of private Indliduals. . Many
nations nil earnestlybent on doing vhatthej-
might to further the cause of international
arbitration nro represented hero. I
am proud to address n body of
parliamentary representatives Inspired lUth
the same lofty idea. I hear people
ple declare usvislonarycnthusiaits , dreamers
and unpractical folks , chasing after a phan
tom , but stop a moment and think a moment.
Is It true ! Are wo Impractical ! What Is *
that prayer wo hear Sunday after Sunday ,
'Give peace In our time , O Lord I' what does
that mean ? It means that wo have the con
science of the world -.vim us. Things chnngo
as tirrio rolls on. Suppose the common peo-
ploin the time of thoPlantngenets andTudors
had claimed the right to manngo the affairs
of the nation , -what would tbo nobles say !
Now things have changed and thing * will
change , and church bolls over all the woild
ringing 'peace' ' will finally bo heard.
"Wo nro called impractical , but -when the
German oniporor demands inoro battalions
for his armies and a representative of the
groaning German people rises in the reiehstagr
and asks with whoso Wood and whoso money
those h.ittallons are to bo paid for , is that
impractical } When statisticians tell you ,
Englishmen , that during tno whole of this
century for every pound of public money
raised KVshlllings and 3 > tf pence have been
spent for war , is that impractical ? And
when you loam that today , out of 070 mem
bers of the house of commons , there are 234
ready to vote for an arbitration treaty , and
that if only 100 more will join us the pro Horn
is solved , is that impractical ?
"No , wo are not impractical , but the itost
practical of men , and the task wo have sot
ourselves of arousing publlo opinion ngnlnst
the ghastly horrors of war ls _ a noble task. I
\vlll conclude with our old stanza which used
to bo very dear to us Americans at the tirno
of our own civil war.
Right is might and Oed Is good ,
And right wlllsurcly win ;
To doubt would bo disloyalty ,
To falter would bo sin. ,
This speech called forth outhusiastic nd-
plause , The parliamentary conference will
meet next year at Rome.
TSa complaint from which many suffer
A and few are entirely free. Its cause
is indigestion and a sluggish liver , the
euro for which Is readily found in the
use of Ayor's Pills.
" I have found that for sick licadachu ,
caused by a dlxordorcd condition of the
stomach , Ajer's Pills are the most ro-
Unblo remedy. " Siiuiuol C. Uradburn ,

The Ball corset has soft
eyelets. Soft eyelets are
loops of corset lace stitched
into the corset ; softer ,
smoother , pleasanter , neater ,
more womanlike than metal.
The Ball is the easiest ever
worn by woman. The ease
is due tocovered coils of fine-
wire spring in the sides.
These springs hug the figure
gently , and yield wfli every
little strain.
The Ball is "boned"-with
Kabo that never breaks or
kinks or rolls up or shifts
from its place.
. You can -wear a Ball corset
two or three -weeks ; and , if
you don't ' like it , return it to
\vhere you got it and get your
money back , The manufact
urer pays the merchant to do
that.
