Orasplng the faucet the policeman took good aim at the opui door and landed the flxturo In the wntcr soaked house In spite of shouts of "Glaus arm!" which fell on his ear.

Hut smallpox was not the only misfor tune that was visited upon the Ill-fated household.

Tho ar rangement, according to the new charter Is for tho election of six councllmen nt large. Tho republicans object to this on the ground that such a section will virtually turn tho city over to the democrats. Past records, however, disapprove this assertion.

In 1S91, two of tho democrats gave way to republicans, and In 1S92, when Miller was mayor, thero were five republicans In tho council. Two years Inter, under Mayor Walker, the republican membership re mained tho same. In 1S94, when Johnstou was mayor, tho council was composed of six democrats nud two republicans.
