CITY POINTING
Tho queition of tho city printinc
came up and the followiue resoln
tion was introduced by Councilman
Galley : Resrlvcd that the city clerk
b-a instructed to solicit bids for the
citv priming for the ensuing year."
The motion was lost, councilmeuGrei
scn, Dietrich and Zinnecker voting
ngainst it, Galley and Gray voting
for it. CouuciimanGreisen then intro
duced the following resolution for the
Columbus Telegram :" Kesolved by the
Mavor and the City Council that the
Columbus Telegram bo and is hereby
'eclared tno official paper of said city
fur the cii'-uidg yar and that all mat
terc nqiiiring publication bo inserted
in" said paper at a compensation equ
alling .' jut cent of the rate fixed
bv statute and that all other supplies
ami stationery be furnished said city
by ihe C.dumbus Telegram at custo
mary and prevailing prices therefor."
mi:ks iim;ci:tic coi'xcilmkn"
This resolution brought Councilman
Galley to his feet in an instant, who
said :" Gentlemen I am opposed to this
rofoJution. I don't believe the voters of
Columbus elect councilmen to servo
any pAriicular newspaper or party or
fuc: itn but to servo the wholo people.
1 don't see whv wo should favor one
mwi.apfr over others equally good
imv more than we should spend the
eity'r monev in other hues for partv
rer.-ens. Th're are other papers in
ColumLn-' that iiave as good a circu-late-n
a the Telegram perhaps and
that could do tho city's printing just
a-; well. They are entitled to fair play
at our hand.-. 1 have nothing against
ih Telegram. If it can give the city
letter service for less money than any
other paper 1 will vote for the Tele
gram as quickly as auv of you gentle
men." Then looking straight at the
three councilmen who had voted down
hi isolation. 3r. Galley continued:
"Gentiemena, I am surprised that you
would v.-jto to do tho city's business
on lines that you would not for one
nio:n;t consider in your own
priva'o business la all iny
years service as i ouncilman I have
opposed i he "spoils' system in city
ailair-. And in view of the importanco
of the principle at stake, I believe
that we ought at least to have a full
council present when this matter is
settled. Air. Clark is attending his
mother's funeial in Indiana. Wo ought
to give him an opportunity to vote on
this question. I therefore move that
this resolution be laid on the table un
til his return." Unt this was not ac
cording to program, and Mr. Galloy's
resolution was voted down in "one,
two, three" order and the resolution
offeied by Councilman Greisen was
adopted, with no attempt to answer
Mr. Callev's argument.
The council adjourned till next
MonttUT night.
r-j.-i.oV P.iilj
The council met in adjourned session
lat night, wirh Councilmen Clark and
Dietrichs absent. The only business
transacted was to approve tho liquor
dealers' Louds and to rescind the action
of last Friday night in the matter of
the city printing.
The democratic exponents of snap
judgaie-nl were treated to a dose of
Homeopathy. They didn't like their
own medicine but tho directions said
tr he it. The surprise was painful and
comph te.
After !Lr ether business was dispos
ed cf. Councilman Gray offered the
following reolutiun:
Kesolveit, that the action of this
council on the resolution naming the
Columbus Telegram as- the official
paper of this city be rescinded.and
that the city clerk be instructed to so
licit bids for the city printing as well
as all supplies necessary for the fiscal
year beginning May 2 J WW, and that
the contract be let to the lowest bid
der. Councilman Greisen immediately
moved that the resolution be laid over
until nert meeting. Greisen and
Zinnecker voted to lay ove r.and Gal
ley, Gray and Mayor voted against it.
Mr. Gray then moved the adoption
of the resolution as read, and Mr.
Galley seconded the motion. Oa roll
call the clerk announced that Galley
and Gray had voted aye, and Greisen
and Zmuecker no. Mr. Greisen in
sisted that he had not voted at all
and did net want to vote, but Clerk
Becker had so understood and record
ed the vote. The mayor accordingly
voted aye and the resolution was pass
ed. Immediately after the vote Council
man Zinnecker reached for his hat and
coat and left for parts unknown. The
mayor presently noticed that there
was not a quoram preaeat and instruct
ed the chief of police to look for the
absent member. However, the search
was unarailing and the comncil ad
journed to meet April 21.
J. H. Galley the Lucky Kan.
(PridaiDail)
The council met laat evening to can
vass the rote on city officials.
The election board in the Second
wyird certified to the council that J.
H. Galley and S. J. Ryan had receiv
ed the same number of votes for coun
cilman from that ward. Tbo council
proceeded to draw lotg to determine
who 6houlrt be declared elected, and
Mr. Galley's name came oat of the
hat first, and he was declared elected.
Afterwards, however, Wm. O'Brien,
who was one of the Second ward
judges of election, looked p the stat
utes and announced that the action of
the council was not legal, since the
law requires that in case of a tie the
judgs of election shall determine by
lot who is to be declared elected.
Here is where the matter rests at
present. Opinion seems to be uivided
as to the case, democrats thinking
that Mr. Kyan should have another
chance at it by another drawing,
while republicans believe that as long
as the drawing was fair and Mr.
Galley won. he i entitled to the place,
and that since the election board dis
solved witbont performing its office
of drawing lots, it cannot reassemble
to do it now and the action of the
council should stand.
Oity Attorney Cornelius is of the
opinion that since the boarJ did not
decide the matter and referred it to
the council who did decide it, either
the decision of the council must stand
or there was no election. In either
case of course Mr. Galley would hold
the seat.
Mr. Kyan himself is noc one of the
democrats who are demanding that
he be given another chance. He says
the game was fair and he lost, and he
is willing to stand by the result, even
though there might be a technical
ground for knocking it out. Mr.
(alley says he is not concerned as to
how it is settled.
It has not yet developed just what
action the democratic managers will
attemnt.

A Harrow Escane.
(Saturday's Daily)
4 A Journal reporter, curious to 6ee
what Mr. Chenoweth and his asisstants
in the Grays' dry good department
had done behind closed doors yester
day, decided to go in early this morn
ing before the "rush"in order to take
in tho situation unmolested. And at
K :3Q this morning he did succeed in
setting through the crowds in the
front part of tho store and finding
a space in the back part of the store
large enough to look for a moment
into the dazzling intermixture of col
ors, the yellow tag in conspicuous
evidence on every piece of merchandise
in the immense stock. But the trouble
came when this Journal reporter at
tempted to cet out. Ladies filled
erey aisle and avenue and they
were all 60 eager in reading the tags
and examining goods that tbey appar
ently did not observe the man trying
to wedge his way through to the door.
And when he finally did escape he
carried no distinct impressions with
him, nothing but the impression of
thousands of little yellow tags and
crowds of nhoving ladies. When a
Journal reporter returns to the Gray
Dry Goods store, he will go after bus
iness hours.

Announcement.
(Saturday's Daily)
As a wrong impression has gone
abroad among the uninformed that the
union services will close tomorrow,
the local pastors would like to say
that they are mnch pleased with the
result of the meetings so far, and be
lieve it ib very important to continue
them another week at least. There
will be a children's meeting at 4
o'clock Monday afternoon at theMeth
odist church and other prayer meet
ings at 3 p. m. on Wednesday and
Thursday at tbe same place. The
pastors are compelled to take more
time for pastoral work on account of
the increased interest in religions
matters so the Monday and Friday
afternoon prayer meetings will be dis
pensed with.
There will be morning services to
morrow as usual in all the churches
interested in the Union.
Card of Thanks.
We desire tn express our heartfelt
thank to tbe friends and neighbors
who assisted us during the illness and
death of our beloved wife and mother
and also for the floral offerings from
friends and neighbors, Knights and

Stranger Was Loony
(Tuesday's Daily)
It appears that the traveling man
who set up a howl last week that he
had been touched for $10 at May
Dillon'6 was simply so intoxicated
that he didn't know any better. The
truth of the matter seems to be that
the fellow got nothing at all to drink
at the place, bnt dropped a f 10 bill in
the room which be oocapied and it
was afterwards fonnd .by one of the
inmates and retaraed to him. The
man who guards his name so jealously
said that he iBteaded to move his
family here, tat he has not since been
heard from.

Stars Defeat Navy Beans.
(Monday's Daily)
"Taylor's Stars," the Columbus
second team, defeated the "Navy Kean
Wonders" in a very one-sided game
yesterday, by a score of 23 to 3. A good
crowd saw the game."
The "Bean Wonders" are ten husky
farmer boys from soath of the river,
but aside from their weight and meas
ure, were no match f.r the city boys
who played great big rings all aroucd
them. The "Taylor Stars" play great
ball for so early in the season and will
before the season closes make some of
the stronger teams "go Mime."
Young Taylor and Becher perform
ed in the box for Columbus and tho
way they tossed in the "spit" ball
and slants was a caution to the specta
tor and especially to the "Navys"
who utterly-, failed to make good their
adopted naiae.
Another game has been scheduled
but no date set and it is generally un
derstood by tho "Stars" that the
"Bean" crop will be spiked good and
plenty when the time arrives for the
contest.
Utto Kurt umpired and did the
square thing for both sides.

It has been rumored for several
weeks that tbe appointment would

pointment should net fall to a repub
lican in this part of the state, even
then Judge Albert did not work for
it, and did it is said, not decide fin
ally until today that he woald accept
it, for he feels that he is giving np a
the dead man in the road one mile
north of Columbus the team and the

READY FOR TRIAL IN ONE CASE
Senator Mitchell Enters Plea cf Net
Guilty to Three Charges.
Portland, Ore, April 12. Judge
Bellinger's court was crowded when
the time arrived for Senator John H.
Mitchell to nlead to four indictments
found against him by the late federalv
grand jury.
In a plea of abatement Senator
Mitchell challenged the acts of the
late federal grand jury by charging
specifically that Jurors W. Robertson
and Carl Phelps, the original foreman
and secretary respectively, had been
legally excuse I for the term pending
the investigations; that Jurors Frank
G. Bulfum and George Peebler had
been sworn in some time after the
grand jury had been empanelled; that
Juror George Gustin was not a citi
zen of the United States; that Jurors
Frank Bolter and Joseph Essner were
not tax payers, as required by law;
and that District Attorney Heney was
disqualified in many ways, besides fcc
ing prejudiced.
The plea of abatement was based
upon the case wherein Senator Mitch
ell is accused of accepting pay
through the law firm of Mitchell &
Tanner to expedite laud titles before
the legal department at Washington,
in behalf of Frederick A. Kribs.
Judge Alfred S. Bennett of The
Dalles, as attorney for Senator Mitch
ell, announced that there was a ques
tion of moral turpitude involved in
the case wherein Senator Mitchell Is
accused of accepting 2.000 from S. A.
D. Puter and therefore he would
waive all legal technicalities nnd be
ready to proceed to trial without de
lay upon the issues at stake.
Judge Bennett entered a plea of
not guilty for the senator in three of
the cases against him two for con
spiracy and one for accepting money
while holding the position of United
States senator to expedite title before
the land department.

Macbeth.
I ..!:.". !.!
Tho small audience that a-rmihled
at the North last night to see John
Griffith's Macbeth enjoyed a rare
treat, especially those who like trag
edy. JohuGril'irh asYaebrih was superb.
And his acting wa aimoH if not fully
equaled bv that of .Mis Louise Ripley
as Lady MacLetli and Edward Sulli
van as MacdutV.
Tho character of Macbeth, th" am
bitious thano who gave ear to tho
three witches prophesy that one day
he would be king, but who had tno
mnch of the milk of human kindness
in his heart to carry cut his ambition
without some external stimulus, and
whose conscience drove him mad after
he bad brought abont tho murder of
Duncan and Bautiuo, was most beaut
ifully interpreted by John Griffith.
No less jwirfect was Miss Ripley's
interpretation ot Lady Macbeth.
Students of Shakesepeare differ as to
whether Lady Macbeth was prompted
to goad her husband on lo murder by
a wicked ambition to bemme queen
or by an all-consuming luve for Her
husband, which made ner husband's
ambition her own and drove her un
consciouslv to do the thing that her
woman's quicker discernment told her
would strengthen his fr.It"rinr dis
position. Miss Ripley evidectlv takes
the ' wicked" Laly Macbeth view,
and her interpretation was cousisten'
throughout.
Edward Sullivan s :ntcr:rorntio:i of
Macduff's condut t when tho news
reached him that his w:fe and two
children had been murdered was per
haps the most appealing bit of acting
of tho evening.
The witch scenes wers made beauti
fully weird by ingenica3 lighting de
vices, and the scenes were changed
with such rapidiy that there was no
opportunity during the whole perform
ance to lose intere.-t.
If John Griffith returns to Cr.lnm
bup, the friends he made lat night
will crowd the house for him.

tho wagon around. He was already
across toe two switch tracks and with
in a very few feet of the track on
which tho train was. He missed tho
train but broke the reach of his wagon
by trying to make toa short a turn,
leaving the hind wheels on one track
nnd the front wheels and hayrack on
tho other. The horses were gentle
and stopped, so that tho damage was
no more than tho breaking of tho
wagon reach.
