in the fore a of yore. In fact , it would
be cooler weather than the prudent when
thew well-known candidates would not

caster county politicians also formed the
outer circumference to the charmed cir

wftll represented from different parts of
the district. The county of Okie that ,
owing to its being the borne ol Sen

ject of attention , was i eprenpnted
by Frank Ransom , who in matters politi

Chapman was in the oily the day previous
to tbe committee meeting , but be tarried
not for the gathering And while there
is no stated authority Jor giving it out
that tbe tall lyeamore from Cassis a can
didate. still it wa generally conceded
that tbe Cass county delegation -would
present him when the time came. The
candidates now in tbe field did not seem
to regard such an event as very' promis
ing to anyone , without it would be to
Chapman bimseli as a gwieral
pecond choice in tbe district.

DlSPELLiING THE GLiOOM.
How i is Effected bv tbe LilKbtin of
tbe Street
There are 401 street lamps in this city ,
and it requires three-f oi rths of an hour
each evening to light them. Tbe light
ing is done by eight beys under the di
rection of Contractor Henshaw , who
goes around and inspects tbe work every
evening. In doing this , he traverses
nearly the"whole city and before helea cs
the streets he is satisfied that every- lamp
is lighted and burning brightly. Each of
tbe eight boy lightc'-s has his own pony ,
his own route , and is held responsible for
tbe proper lighting of tlie same If suffi
cient reason for a failure on his part
to attend to his business is
not phen , he is discharged and
another boy appointed , because there
is always a number of boys who are anx
ious for the position at the rate of $20 a
per month. In lighting the lamps , noth
ing but matches are used.
Some time ago , a torch was
employed and Mr. Henshaw has at times
u.-.od an electric spark , Lut he has dis
carded both , and he has found that with
matches simply some of his boys could
light more lamps than be himself could
with tne other contrivances. In muddy
and stormy weatner , one hour is allowed
in which to complete the lurhtning , but
this is not always taken , bacause on
thoi-e occasions tbe lads are but too
anxious to get out of the inclement
weather. The lamps are cleaned tviee u
week , and several bovs nre engaged for
this purpose alone. The-e , as well as tbe
lighters , report to All Henshaw the num
ber of lampsbi okeii or in any manner
injured , and stepi , are taken toiepairtbem
as soon as possible. That gentleman says
that there are oa an average thirty lamps
broken in a day , mainly by boys throw
ing stones with slings. He also suys
that be experiences considerable annoy -
ance from private boys lighting tbe lamps
during the diiy , creating tlie impres.Mon
in tbe minds of lesideuts that the lamps
are not extinguished as they should be
in the moraine. There is a fine of ten
dollars for this offence , us there is also
for hitching horses to the lamp posts.
This latter habit .has caused several run
aways , the boys giving frignt to the
horses when climbing to do their light
ing Tbe owners of the animals gen
erally get angry enough to make the
contractor pay for tbe damages done to
their uropertY , but they always change
their mind wnen they learn of their lia
bility. Mr Henshaw has rednced the
business of lighting to u system and is the
most tmooeshtul man ue have nad in tbe
business ,

the young pirl who is the "queen of the
