Repairs will then be mado where they are most needed on Fifteenth, Douglas and other streets In tho busluess center of tho city. The asphalt company Is hiring all avail able men for the repair work and will have additional gangs employed within tho next few days, Tho company's plant Is In biich condition that all necessary material cuu bu bad without delay. firmly for the l.'nrnlvnl. "It will bo possible to have the paving In tho business center of the city In good condition before the Ak-Sar-Uen carnival opc.is," said City Engineer Rosewatcr. "Sixteenth street will bo restored first, as H is Id .vorse condition than other streets and will probably bo traveled more during tho carnival than any other thoroughfare. "As soon at tho streets are repaired cleaners will be put to work and tho 6lrcetH will be put In a sanitary condition for tho llrst tlrao this, summer. It has been Impossible to keep tho business cen ter of the city clean on account of tho rough condition of the paving. All money spent on street cleaning was about the same as wasted." When asked If he anticipated Interfer ence with the Hoard of Public Works' plans tu restore the asphalt paving in tho business section of tho city, City Attorney W. J.

One thing that Impressed me was the apparent differ ence In tho banks of Europe nnd those of America. Hero wo have all of our men nnd nil of our business In sight. Over thcro banks employing probably hundreds of clerks will have for their offlco a little dingy room, where half a dozen clerks may be seen, but no more.

HOLDS THAT TAXES ARE CASH Chief IHrcutltc Does .Not Utulorne Proportion to Permit Delinquent to I'ny In l.nlior MnKle City .Nenii In ( cue rill. As was predicted la The Bee of yesterday, Mayor Kelly, before his departuro for the east, attached his slgnaturo to a veto prepared by the city attorney In the Mar tin tax resolution matter. It will be re membered that Martin, at the council meet ing Tuesday night, secured the passage of a resolution permitting persons to work out delinquent taxes on tho streets. While tho members of the council voted for tho resolution, few If any besides Martin had any Idea that It would ever become a law. Here Is tho mayor's veto In full: I herewith return to you, without my concurrence nnd approval the resolution passed September 3, 10)1, In rc.ntlon to commuting certain taxes on real und per sonal property In this city. I do this becnu.se I believe nil taxes as sessed, except where poll tuxes ure nsso-s-able, are pnynble in money, unless tho Inw would otherwise provide. The nssessment of all taxes has been divided Into !cpur.itfl funds by the annual appropriation bill. Our expenditures In the different depart ments nie limited umiunlliledly to tho fund appropriated to that purpose nnd section 132 of our chnrter provides that each und every fund shall bo dltectly devoted to tho purpose for which It was created nnd shall not be diverted, transferred or bo. rowed therefrom. There Is, therefore, not one dollar of tuxes, pnld or owing, which has not been appropriated to a specific purpose nnd ac cordingly must be used for that purpojo. But little reflection makes it plain thnt to carry out the provisions of the resolution would be to transfer and borrow moTey from other funds. The liw forbids thlt being done directly nnd likewise forbids It being done Indirectly, as Is attempted by this resolution. To secure for the street department more funds thnn appropriated will rerulre n vote of the people. Just the same ns It requires n vote of the people to secure moro funds In any other department. Lach dollar must. In theory of the law, be divided Into the severnl funds provided by the annual appropriation bill. Now, to use or commute that dollar Into labor would bo In effect borrowing nnd trans ferring from those funds Just fo much money. This the law does not permit. No city council has tho power, under the law, to release, discharge, remit or commute any portion of the taxes assessed or levlod ngnlnst nny person or property. I am convinced also that tho city clerk cannot. In this manner or In nny other planner, bo authorized by the council to Issue n certificate to the city treasurer which the treasurer wr Id be authorized, protected or Justllled I. accepting In par tial or full payment of taxes due, assessed against real or personal property. I there fore refuse to concur In this resolution nnd accordingly veto the same. I, euro Taken Kicept!onn. Mr. Lcgro, who has been supplying feed for tho prisoners at the city Jail for some time, takes exceptions to the statements of Chief Mitchell, printed In yesterday's Bee. Legro says that ho has no contract with tho city, other than a verbal one, nnd that ho has been furnishing meals to pris oners at n loss. At tho tlmo bids were advertised for, which Is over a year ago, he was tho lowest bidder and tho mayor, ho says, told him to go ahead. When a contract was asked for Lcgro, according to his story, was told that ono would be pre pared some day. Legro asserts that his meals aro all right. Further, he says that when the council meets again he will ask that some ono else be given the Job, as long as be has no coutract. K il tint Will ot Quit. Yesterday afternoon J. L. Kubat, member of tho Board of Education, dropped Into the city hall and announced that ho had prepared his resignation and was on his way to the High school building to file It. When nsked his reasons Mr. Kubat de clined to go Into details, but It was evi dent from tho manner In which he talked that things wero not running to suit him. Mong during the afternoon several mem bers of the board talked with Kubat and last evening tho latter nnnounced that he would withhold his resignation for a time. Certain promises wore made and Mr. Kubat says that if these are not kept ho will quit and tell his reasons. Kubat was elected on the democratic ticket last spring, al though ho has genernlly been credited on tho lUts as being n republican. Ilonril MeelH Tonlulit. An adjourned meeting of tho Board of Education will ho hold tonight for the pur pose of listening to complaints against certain teachers who aro not considered competent. Somo of tho teachers havo certificates, while others havo not.

He had evidently been dead since Tuesday, as decomposition was far ad vanced. The cause of death Is unknown, but as he had been complaining of trouble with his heart, It Is supposed ho died of some disorder of that organ. The body was taken to the undertaking rooms of the coroner, where It was at onco prepared for burial. A coroner's Jury was empaneled, the remains wero viewed and arrangements were made for an Inquest Friday afternoon. Hcacock, who was 4S years old, was Ins seen alive at 8 o'clock Tueiday rooming, when one of thn servants at the house taw him going to his room. He did not speak, but tho domestic noticed nothing unusual In hts manner. Yesterday morning two roomers In tbi house, W. II. Mclntyre and Sam Bell, no ticing a bad odor In the hall, traced It to room 4, which for somo time had been occupied by llcacock. They found tho door bolted on the Inside and wero compelled to force tho lock. Upon the bed lay tho body of Heacock, disrobed and In a natural position. Tho flesh was black from ad vanced decomposition and the air In the room was so Impure ns to bo almost stifling. Dentil from Mnturnl Onuses. An Inspection of tho apartment resulted In finding everything In order. Thcro wero no signs of poison, no evidence of a strug gle and no suspicious circumstances. The man apparently had died a natural death a few minutes after the servant saw him In tho hall two days before. The body was burled In Forest Lawn cem etery esterday morning. A man, who refused to give his name, colled at tho ofllce of tho coroner during tho forenoon and told a story which. If true, confirms the theory o! death from heart failure. "Hcacock was n friend of mine," ho Bald, "and wo wero together a good deal. Ono day nbout a week ago ho told me ho had been suffering with pains In his heart. Ho said he would wako up In the night and find his heart fluttering. Ho expected to die suddenly, be told me, and said It ever I missed him tor a day or so that I was to go to his room and break the door In nnd I'd find him dead." Mrs. Heacock, who Is an invalid, Is now living in Sioux Falls, S. D. She has been riotlfled of her husband's death.

Much space Is devoted to the laws and ways of life of the ancl.nt Greeks, from whom the noble Euphrosyne was descended. Named for the goddess of mirth, good fortune and Joy, there was lit tle in tho life of tho consort of lilat; to remind her of her namesake. The Into.lcct of Euphrosyne equaled her beauty. Shs had that rarer attraction that personal magnetism which was the tecret of ihJ sway of the historic women of tho wcrld She had been betrothed to Aurelius, ihj Roman centurion, but was parted from him by the cruel and arrogant Pilate, wh.se wife sho became.
