In the Hold , one composed of democrats mid
the other of Indies , tlio contest promises to
bo ti w.irrrt one. Bvun the donn crats , who
early in tlio campaign iircdlclc.l that their
ticket would be overwhelmingly elected , nro
now willing to admit that the election will
bo n very close ono , and they don't know exactly -
actly how it will turn out. The citizens will
be treated to n novel slight today. A largo
number of the laolcs of the city hive determined -
torminod to assist in the work of reclaiming
the government of the public selionls from
the domination of partisan politics arid will
bo at the polls all day peMlln ? tickets In

The plan of selling the high school buildIng -
Ing and erecting a building on snmo more
accessible1 spot , is meeting with the favor of
most of tlio patrons of the schools , und is
especially popular with these who have chil
dren In the High school department. There
nro many young ladies who have been com
pelled to drop out of school a year 01' so be
fore graduating by order of their physicians ,
as they were unable to stand the physical
strain of climbing the hill twice n day. The
High school is now in better condition
than it has ever been 4jeforo ,
ami the friends of education do
not like to see any ono ctunted out of the
right to attend simply through a physical
inability to endure in unnecessary hardship.
The idea of changing the location of the
high school has been agitated a number of
times before , but it was never thought of
enough Importance to become a campaign
issue until this spring.
Mrs. Sims and Mrs. Aylesworth were
nominated on that platform , and every vote
cast for them will bo a vote to cxchingu the
present high school building for one located
where all the scliool children In the city can
get to It.

Secretary J. C. Yose of the Young Men's
Christian association was made the recipient
of a couple of very much appreciated trifls
Saturday night. Lnst week a subscription
paper was circulated among the young men
of the association and with the proceeds was
bought n line ofllce desk , with rolling top ' ,
which was to bo presented to him. The del
egates from DCS Molncs who attended the
state convention held hero a few weeks hoe ;
happened to hear what was being done , and :
they Immediately raised the amount nrccs -
stiry to buy a beautiful choir to go with the
desk. Both articles of furniture- were
brought to the rooms Saturday niirht and
presented In proper form. Mr. Hose was
taken completely by surprise , its ho had not ,
the slightest Idea that anything of the kind
was being done for him. The action of the
young men Is a fitting recognition of the
efforts being put forth by him for the up
building of thc association in this city.
ClAt the services In the hall last evening six
.moro professions of faith were made. It is
reported that the members of the Temple
Baptist church have decided to unite with
their Christian brethren , and that fifty of
them will como forward in a body one night
during this week and bo taken into full mem
bership. The young church is growing with :
astonishing rapidity under the ministry of
Mr. Allen and the melody of Mr. Blrdsall ,
and has become ono of the foremost denomi
nations In point of interest und strength nlin

There will bo no services on Tuesday night :
on nccount of the hall having been engaged ;

In his sermon at the First Presbyterian
church last evening Dr. Phelps announced
himself on the question of woman sufl'r.igo
and gave utterance to some opinions which
are of peculiar Interest in view of today's
events. His sermon was on the subject of
Esther , and ho traced in glowing colors the
history of that wonderful womaa and her
hcroje efforts to save her people from the
treachery of Hainan. "I am of the n , "
said ho in concluding , "that there is no bet
ter or moro useful place for a worn/in than tin
the home anil by the fireside.Vnd yet to
say that the homo is the only place where a
wonwn's talents can IKJ exercised Is folly.
For my part I shall bo glad when'-tho ballot
Is put into the hands of the women ,
not only at school elections , as is now
done in a number of the states , but in gen ;
eral elections , as in Wyoming. And I shall
bo glad also to see the time come when it
shall bo as common a thing for a woman to
hold many of the oftlces in the gift of the
people as fora man. When that time comes
disreputable politics will bo a thing un
known and the government of our cities will
bo turned over to the representatives , of
purity and good morals. If you ever have , a
chance to help along in this good work , uo It.
If you over have a chance to cast a vote for a
woman , don't refuse because she is a woman ,
but decide In your own mind whether she is
competent to hold the | > ositloti , und if so by
all n. cans vote former. Put the Esthers
into ixnver and. the Unmans will get out. "

There Is a gam ? of amateur thlovcs that
hangs about Dohnny'a opera house nnd
makes a practice of stealing money or arti
cles of less value from the various theatrical
people , who play there. Hardly n month
passes without some member of a company
making a complaint of losing his property.
A day or two ago the manager of a troupe
that played at the opera house last week
wrote to Chief Scaulan nnd asked him to
look up some wigs and other a rtlclcs which
had been stolen , A search was made In the
opera house and away up Ir the rafters In
the front part were found some of the stolen
articles. A search was made at the home of a
boy named Willie Kane , at the corner of Tenth
avenue nnd Seventeenth street , and other
things were found which were Identified as
belonging to Al U. Field's Minstrel tro'.tpo
which played at the opera house Wednesday
niifht. Che Kane boy nnd a companion
named Lewis Pennin.'toii were arrested on
suspicion of hiving done the thieving. Both
of them had been loallnir around the place
a good deal of late. Mr. Kane called at the
police station to see his son after ho was
arrested , but refused to take any steps to
ward getting him out on lull , siylug that if
the boy was guilty he might take the cense
quences. I/itcr on Sam Baker , Jack L-in-
clon , John Bennett an 1 Noah Plnkman were
also arrested for being Implicated In the
theft. The outfit was taken before Justice

"When Mrs. Jenks was telling tonight
about that paragon of a husband of hers
I was simply consumed with envy. It

"Well , my dear , " feebly expostulated
Mr. Murfree , "it is a very largo dog ,

Here Mrs. Murfreo suddenly turned
around , and through lips containing sun-

articles , hissed. "Don't talk to me ! " in
such an Impressive- and disgusted man
ner that MiMurfreo subsided at once ,

lie- was not disturbed again until the
moment came for retiring , when , con
trary to their usual custom. Mrs. Murfree
turned the gas entirely out , leaving the
room < in darkness , save where a streak
ol moonlight fell through the window ,
open for ventilation.
Now , if there was anything that Mr
Murfreo hated it was to have the bed
room gas turned olT at night , but he
climbed sadly into bed , and lay cogitat
ing a plan whereby ho should be able to
shoot a burglar in the dark , should ono
chance to visit his abode that night.
Just as thc city clock was striking 1
Mr. Murfreo awoke with a start and
looked in a dazed way up into the dark
ness.
"What's the matter with mo ? " ho
muttered , a sensation of uneasiness
creeping ever him. "I think hn
what's that1 and , broad awake now
with the cold perspiration starting re
every pore , ho became conscious of
faint rustle in tlio room , the cause o
which the heavy portieres draping th
a'-wo prevented him ascertaining.
Cautiously lie reuuhud under the mat
tress for his revolver , and. ta his horror
found that after cleaning it on the
previous day ho had carelessly forgotten
to place it in its wonted spot.
"Oh , Lord ! oh , Lordl" no chattered to
himself , tt-ving to keep cool , "no revolver L-
ver , no nothing , nnd'ti ' burglar sure Ls
fate. Samantha was right. 1 am n
coward ; what on cui th shall I do ? If I
awake Samantha I will never hear the
last of it she'will nng wot-so than over ;
besides , she is sure t < yell , and then we
will all bo murdered , and then tlio poor
man shook so that tho. springs creaked
and sent him into n fresh fit of trembling-
Hustle , rustle , it came again , and then
a soft thump and a elink.
"lie's got my pants1 ejaculated Mr.
Murfree to himself , as cautiously sat
up in bed and tried to calm himself.
Thump !
"I can't stand this any longer1 said
Mr. Murfreo in a whisper , beginning to
get huffy. "I'm a fool. No wonder Sa
mantha said so. I will certainly find out
what is outside of these curtains , and
this time Samanthn shan't have a chance
to b-ng : over mo. Perhaps I shall bo
able to do something for onco. "
Keeping well away from the separa
tion between the portieres ho carefully
let one foot out of bed.
As it touched the floor the rustle
sounded again , and so near that Mr.
Murfreo nearly lost his balaneo with
fright , nnd found himself on his feet the
next moment , shaking with ulurm lest
he had provoked the marauder's atten
tion to the alcove or awakened the sleep
ing Samantha.
But no ; all was quiet , und as soon as
he plucked up a suflleient amount of
oourago ho peered cautiously through
the curvains.
With difficulty ho repressed an ex
clamation of horror.
Tlio moon's rays fell across the dresser ,
bringing out each article on it with a
weird distinctness , and just in thc
shadow before the ehoval glass was tlio
stooping figure of a man.
Ho was evidently searching t'no upper
drawer , and Mr. Murfreo gasped for joy '
as ho distinguished on the top of the
cabinet to tlio right of the glass the
missing revolver.
"If I could only reach him , " said Mr.
Murfreo to himself , "jump on him as lie
is bonding over and secure thc revolver
before ho recovers himself it's u good
plan , and the only ono , I'm getting kind
of riled. I don't believe I'm such ida
coward after till. "
With a mighty effort ho braced him
self and advanced cautiously , keeping '
his eyes on the bent figure.
In the uncertain light thc man looked
unnaturally largo and heavy , and
seemed each second to bo on the point
of rising. Indeed , as Mr. Murfreo
reached tlio center-table he thought all ,
was ever , and shrank down behind it
despairingly.
But fortune was kind , the burglar
stilLscarehed busily , and Mr. Murfreo ,
gathering himself for a grand effort ,
and nerved to a point of desperation ,
made n flying leap , and landing with
terrific force upon .tfyo burglar's shoul
ders , grabbed the .revolver , yelling { :
"Police ! thieves ! cV ! '
Over ho went , bunipoty bump ; nnd ns
ho found himself prostrate upon tlio
floor , with a cbaip 'and something soft
and thick over him , ho finihed his exclamation -
clamation with d it It. xed
"Oh ! Ulysses ! .Ulysses ! " screamed
Mrs. Miirfreo , tangling herself up in the
bedclothes in her efforts to rise. "Help 1 !
Where are you ? " n
Mr. Murfreo wason , his feet in a flash ,
holding in his arms the harmless cause
of his fright and disturbance , Mrs. Mur-
freo's fur capo , which" she had hung over
tlio chair back in frujif of the dresser ,
and which , with itshigh : shoulders and
collar , had looked in the dim light like
a stooping tigor. ' '
Men think quickly sometimes , and
Mr. Murfreo realized the situation with
remarkable speed , and being on his
mettle determined not to bo made a
fool of.
Knocking Mrs. Murfree's jewel case
from the dresser as ho fled , ho rushed
out of the room pell-mell , stopping on
the cat , the author of the > us
noibcs that had first awakened him.
With a savage kick ho bent her ahead !
of him , as ho How down the front stairs ,
and banged the front door open and
shut.
Then ' ho panted breathlessly up again ,
sln'clng on the top stair. sere ,
bruised and mad , just us his wife suc-
u'scecded in lighting the gas.
"Burglar , " ho i gaspe .
"Whoro , oh where ? " Bho screamed ,
excitedly , half helping , half drugging
him into the room.
"Gone , " ho managed to say ; "knocked
him ever got away front door -son
there , " pointing t > tlio Jewelry utrown
around the lloor.
MM Murfroo gnvo ono look , and then ,
with that faithful sense of obligation to
the tradition of her sox which tlio average -
ago woman scorns to possess in an emer
gency , she proceeded to faint away.
Mr. Murfreo dumped her Into n chair.
Mo was too weak to hold her , and besides
he felt n fiendish exultation In glorying
In his superior strength of mind ; so ,
when she recovered , ho was picking up
the cleverly scattered trinkets with its
bored an air as ho could assume.
"What are you beared of1 ho said ,
scornfully , "man's gone , I'm hero ; I
rather think I have protected you , even
if I am a coward. Pot-haps you will
leave the light burning after this so that
I shall not bo Obliged to struggle ( or my
life in the dark. "
And ho willed from his forehead a few
drops ol blood trickling from a scratch
received in the encounter with the largo
pin on his capo burglar , making his face
as gory as possible with the small amount
of material.
Mrs. Murfreo looked at him n moment
in a hysterical sort of way , nnd then ,
falllng'on his neck , altornatelv implored
forgiveness and wept ever her former
severity , culling him her hero and all
the delightful names which Mr. Mut-
freo's soul was thirsting for.
"I'll never sav such mean things
again , " she sobbed ; "never , never. "
"There , there , " said her spouse ,
straightening up and putting on a
patronizing air to conceal the nervous
shaking of his muscles scarce over
their recent shock. "You sit down and
I will s-earcli the house so Unit wo can
feel easy during the remainder of tlio
night. "
So that while Mrs. Murfreo hid be
hind the bed curtains , for fear of another
other- visitor , her Ulysses went out in
the hall and stayed live minutes in a
dark corner , returning with a serious
air and the assurance that all was well.
Locking their door , the eouplo once
moro sought repose , but both wore too
excited for sleep.
"Won't I just gloat ever Mrs. .TenkV
exclaimed Mrs. Murfree , as she convul
sively patted the pillow into a more ac
commodating shape. "Oh , Ulynses , I'll
toll every woman in the block , "
Just then the ludicrous side of the
thing struck Mr. Murfree. and ho stuffed
the corner of the sheet in his mouth and
shook convulsively.
"What's the matter , dear ? " cried his
wife. "What's the matter , Uly ? "
"Only a chill don't bother about it ;
guess I took cold. "
"Shan't I got you something hot ? "
linked ills wife , anxiously.
"Nonsense , " ho replied , controlling
himself with difficulty , "just go to sleep
I'm tired. "
"All right , dear. " responded she. "I
do hope you won't bo sick. It's very
funny , Ulysses , that the policeman on
our boat didn't hear anything , or como
running up to the house when that dread
ful man made such a noise at the door.
Dear mo , if I didn't know you had a chill
I should think you wore laughing. "
And Mr. Murfroo was.
