Mayor ( Moorcs has decided lo vote the
resolution adopted at the last meeting of
the city council by which the compUoller
was Instructed to make his books conform
to the new fund balances which were ob
tained by adding the uncollected balances
o' the last four tax levies , The mayor's
principal objection to the change Is that II
would place a largo theoretical balance In
the various funds without actually.addlng a
cent to the cash resources. The result
would ibo that n lot of warrants would bo
drawn for bills now outstanding and thceo
would bo out at 7 per cent Interest for an
Indefinite period , The mayor considers the
funding bond proposition as the bent way out
of the difficulty. 'Ho ' says that If funding
bonds arc Issued to take up the warrants
the city will only pay 4 per cent Interest
as against 7 per cnt on the -warrants.
Whllo the council has not bad any official
notice of the mayor's Intention to veto the
resolution , It Is expected that the veto will
bo sustained and that the refunding ordi
nance , which has been hanging flro for severa
months , will be taken up at once and passed.
The mayor will Iso veto the resolution
directing the city treasurer to refund fees
paid for slot machine licenses after- October
1. The mayor uajs that the owners of the
trachlncs should all bo treated alike and thnt
ho wilt not approve a resolution that refunds
the fees to some and leaves the others To
hold the sack.

City Kngtacer Rosewater has transmitted
to Mayor Moores an estimate of the pros
pective expenses of the engineering and
Board of Public Works department during
1S93. The estimated cost of running the
engineering department is $15,000 , while that
of rtinraluB the Beard of Public Works , In
cluding ofllco expenses and clerical work , is
$4,500. In view of the luct that there are
bills amounting to about $25,000 already
pending against tbo curbing , Buttering and
cleaning fund , the engineer recommends that
the limit of ? 30,000 should bo levied for tint
fund. Ho also wants $40,000 for street 1m-
provemcu.s and $10,000 additional for stVeet
cleaning. These last two Items are designed
to cover the cost of keeping the streets and
pavements In the best psbslblo condition dur
ing the exposition. Mr. Rosewater contends
that while It will cost some money to keep
up appearances in this respect , it Is the
best possible Investment that the city could
make. Ho asserts that nine pecolo out of
ten who visit a city with a view to possible
Investment icako the condition of the streets
the first consldciatlon. A clean and at
tractive street goes further to give them a
high opinion of the city than any other single -
glo consideration , and ho Is anxious that a
particular effort should bo made in this di
rection this year.

At itho commltteo meeting yesterday the
city council decided to place the plan ot as
sessment for the Walnut Hill grading on file.
This represents a tax which has been In con
troversy for seven years. A week ago a largo
delegation of property owners was present to
protest against the plan of assessment and
the matter was postponed for ono week. "
The remainder of the afternoon was oecu-
ploi In a discussion of the new plumbing
ordinance. Building Inspector Butler and
Plumbing Inspector Clawson Insisted that
the fees provided were no inoro than were
necessary to pay the expenses of the office ,
but several of the councllmcn contended
that they were too high. The result was a
compromise by which the cost of a master
plumber's license was reduced from $10 to $3
and that of a Journeyman plumber's license
from $5 to (2.50. ( i

Arrested ,
POLICE CATCH A THIEF AND HIS BOOTY
Hil lIlKliliatiuli , XIMV nt IIio
Locked U | i for AtciuilliiK to
Hull a Holme In the
Daytime. , ,
"Ed Hlghbaugb , a burglar , \vas caught yes
terday morning with his booty on his person.
At 9 o'clock a hurry call was received at
the police elation from the family of L. D.
Holmes , 2533 California street , to the effect
lhat thcro was a burglar In a bedroom up
stairs. A detail of officers , consisting of
Sergeant King , Detectives Savage and Hemp ,
sey and Olllcer Ilcltfcldt , went to the location
at a gallop , and were quick and fortunate
enough to arrive before the burglar had left
the scene. As the wagon turned from Twen
ty-fourth on Cass the officers saw a negro one
block west , running south on Twenty-fifth
elrcct. The recognition was mutual , and the
negro turned and hurried back , turning up
the alley one-half block north. Another
minute's tlmo would have made his escape
practically certain. The officers distributed
thcmselvca about the neighborhood and
searched every ehcd nnd outhouse. The
negro wan finally discovered from the action
of a frightened horse In n bam near Twen
ty-sixth street , between Casa nnd Califor
nia. Sergeant King noticed the animal
standing nt the door with broken haltar
and trembling with fear. Ho made a search
of the stable and found the negro hidden bo-
ncath the hay In the munger. His abrupt
arrival had so startled the horse that It had
broke loose and rushed to the door. The man
was searched and hlo possessions were found
to bo"a gold ring and Indelible lead pencil.
Ho was taken to the house of Mr. Holmca
and the ring was recognized as the property
of ono of the daughters of the family. The
negro was also Identified as a man who had
been begging at the door earlier In the morn-
Ing. Ho made no denial ot his KUllt-and was
locked up on the charge of burglary.
Other property which the burglar had at
tempted to carry away was found on the
premises. On the kltciien table was a gold
watch and chain , and other Jewelry was
found on the floor. The man had evidently
been waiting his chance to enter the house
from th6 rear when the family was safely
engaged In front , and used the gutso of a
beggar to cover his reconnaissance. Ho
was careless In his work , however , nnd
alarmed the women of the house who
promptly vlalted a neighbor's telephone and
notified the police station. Hlghbaugh Is
about 20 years old , and Is now at house-
breaking. He has been arrested on other oc
casions , however , for small offenses , and la
known to bo a young man of not , very good
intentions.
Hlghbaugh was given his preliminary ex
amination yesterday afternoon. Ho entered
tiie plea of not guilty and the trial will oc
cur this afternoon at 2 o'clock.

the manufactured goods of the company and
for distributing them from hero through the
west. The factory of the company Is located

The rapid march of events upon the confidence of the people fortells for the
"Guarantee" a successful future.
The "Guarantee" Is but a trifle over 100 days old. An Infant In age , though
full grown In experience. During Its days It fought many n commercial battle , de
fended many false accusations , silenced Imitators and nailed many a falsehood In
tended to destroy its good name.
During Its limited days It achieved greater success than any similar business In
llho period of tlmo , coiiEWerlng Its away-from-the-huslness-portlon location and Ita
plainness , against the grandeur In store appearances. The "Guarantee won a suc
cess that amounts to a triumph.
If Its success la not entirely merited , then call It but a streak of fool's luck.
Yet the Judgment of tfooso who bought here promotes fcicroaeo In confidence. If
confidence Is won by fool's luck , then put us down BH lucky fools , i
If our success la not honestly earned , show us o fit ore that Is entitled > to It. It
there Is a store 'that sells better eoods for less money than wo do , or more honest
In representing things , or more conscientious In business trawiactlona , or uioro
anxious to have to earn the good will of the people , I i
Is there a store anywhere \\hero every aitlclo Is sold with a guarantee for Us
good ceivlco and honest worth au we do ? And to there anyone who can nay that
wo ever refused lo make Imperfect things ioo ; > l , or money hack when asked for ?
These are tbo principal good qualities of this store , and for tbla reason we have
entered Into the confidence of the good people no rapidly.
