' The way to enforce the mandates of the

The citv council hold its regular monthly
meeting last evening. Alderman Hiithaway ,
who is piobablv aldoiman no longer , was
absent , and Alderman Gelse was llkewiso
nowhere to bo scon.
Tno claim of A. C. Hauling for $10 for thu
rent of n building in the Sixth ward as a
polling place was brought up , and City At-
touioj' Hazloton reported that ho was en
titled to the tnoncj' . This Is the case in
which Haidlng. the owner of the building ,
and J. W Clattcrbuek , the tenant , each
claimed $10 Clattcrbuek stele a maich on
Haidlng and the ofllcials and got his $10. By
the report of the city solicitor each mail
guts $10 for a loom that usually rents for
about ? 4 per month. Harding was allowed
the money.
A resolution was introduced bv Aldoiman
Smith providing for bringing to grade Fiist
and Second avenues , mil Twontv-lhst and
Twenty-second bticets , near Cochran paik.
In suupoit of the icsolution Smith said that
this vvoik could ptobably go over lor a time ,
but his motive In wanting it pushed at this
time was to furnish worlt for the poor. As it
would cost only ? 1 , < > 0 ( ) , and as the
work would have to bo douo some

Two days ago Flip was a lively Eng
lish pug dog 'vita a cold , black no o
that tut ncd up saucily nt the end , while
she played about the corridors of the
state noiisu. She is not a lively dog to-
duj : she is a dead dog , bajs the Indian
apolis Journal. It was tvvoiears ago
that Klip bcoaino a member of Custodian
Grillin's household , and quickly won the
affections of the fiunih. It vvas not un-
nsiial for her to go to the stiito house to
scamper about on the marble Hoots.
She was at the enpitol late Wednesday
aftot noon busily engaged in her luual
festivities. Before oho started to her
home in lTiuon street , Flip vvas led to
the basement , with a string which vvas
tied around her neck , that she might
iiiibibo a i ofreshing dt aught of hydrant
water. She placed her fi out paws on
the edge of tlio tiongh , took ono good
swallow of water , gavcabcieam pecu
liar to the dog tribe nnd wont stark ,
staring mad. She ran out of the baso-
mpiit to the corridors of tlio first lloor ,
and continued her fit. diawing the at
tention of the entire population to the
capitol.
Flip weighed about five pounds. She
kept at bay about twenty state olllcers ,
clerks and janitors. The young w omen
i an into the olllces and bai led the doors
when Flip took possession of the capitol.
The men sallied foith to participate in
the affair , but they remained at a 10-
spectful distance ; Flip pranced about the
coriidorsas ifsho rcah/ed that' they
vvoie in her pov-0-.sion. . Foam was
dripping from her mouth , and hlio bit
and pawed at thomarblo pillars as if she
Would tear every ono of tht'in down.
Befoio she could intiko the building an
historical ruin it was decided that Flip
should lese her lift ) .
But an executor could not bo found.
Ono man volunteered to rush in and at
tempt to kill her if the othoih would go
to the rescue should ho fall. But tlio
others would not atrreo. It vvas the
duty of the custodian to got Flip out of
the house , the state ofllcials said , as she
vvas his dog and ho was in charge of the
building. The custodian sent for a
hnmmor with which to pot form the
sorrow fill duty. It was an iron hammer ,
with a head almoot as laigc as Flip. It
had a long , black handle , andv vvith a
good miibclo behind it , would bo sulli-
ciont to take the lifp of an ox.
Tlio custodian took the weapon and
slipped up oohind the dog vvhilo she was
trying to climb a polished marble pil
lar. Just as hu vvas about to deal the
murderous blow the secretary of state
shouted :
" from that Gridlii ! '
Gway dog , 'Gway
rom him ! He's mad ! "
The custodian wont away. Tlio gov
ernor vvas on the hcono. Ho argued that
flip was frightened. If lot alone she
ivould continue her romp about the
lionso. But she had to bo mad or it
would spoil the ti agcdy that every ono
iiad gathered to se-o. The custodian
took another hold on the hammer. Ho
nitallhih sttongth in the blow. The
uuinner missed the mark and as the
custodian held on ho vvas jerked half
across the hall. Again ho slipped up to
, ho dog. The hanimor foil vvith such
'orco that it Hplintorod the handle and
the sound of the stioko echoed and 10-
cchocd through the honso in u dull ,
sickening sound. FJip never regained
lorieason. She dropped to the lloor in
i heap and her noul took Us flight up
through the building and out nn open
vindovv in the skylight.

John V Stone Is on hand and Is making n
vigorous canvass. Hon. Clcorgo U. 1'crklns
of Sioux City will reach hero tomoriow. A.
U. Cummins has npiiarently lost strength ,
owing , It Is charged , to the lukewarm sup
port of the Polk countj' delegation. J. W.
Dlytho of Burlington , attorney for the "Q , "
and his brother , Chaiimun Ulytho of the
state central committee , aio on hand , both
working haul for Gear. As a result the
Uurllngton congressman has been stc.uMly
gaining giound all day , but as only one-third
of the mombcis have yet nilived this advan
tage ma.v oe but temporary.
"Paimei" Coflln has not put In nn appear
ance j ct and sumo of Ills friends say ho will
not be an active candidate for the position
unless assuicd of moro support than is now
In sight.
The light against Cummins , which has
been cairled on In sceiot by Iho so called
Hcirjlull faction , will be fully developed by
toinoi row or next dav , at the fin thcst , and the
outcome innv be the wlthdiawal of Cummins
in the Intel est of Gear 'I he friends of other
candidates are uiglng Geai's claims as second
end choice on the ground of ago , ho being
about TO nnd not likely to live out his term
Should the light become protracted and the
rallio.uls i cumin ncutial 01 passive the con
test w ill settle down betw eon Gear nnd Hep
