the present incumbent, is troubled with pour health and ha not been able to attend the council meetings regularly for jwm time. ., It is belived there will be several aspirant for the office from the eighth ward. The men now holding positions a city officers have been somewhat ' '61&turbed as the result of the new law, as they did not know whether they are holding office legally or not. The law did not say anything about the men now serving under the old law and nt was not known whether they would be expected to retain the positions or not. While at Indianapolis Friday, City Controller Pa-Try took occasion to make inquiry at the state house. He wa informed that the present office holders retain their positions until the first of next year. ,
DOME WITH SEYMOUR
Several Candidates for Council Are Already in the Field And the Race . Promises to Be Exciting.'!; "
The common council could prevent a great deal of worry- , to prospective candidates and no doubt save the city from no small amount of,lnconvience, if it decided within the next few meetings whether or not be of flee" of aty judge is to be continued. . Under the new cities and towns act, which now
Is in effect, the council is given power to abolish the office'at'fany time not later than within ninety days preceding an election. It is fheld that if council has any idea of .abolishing this office about next August, it should do eo'now, or at any date previous to the republican primary. Candidates Want to Know. In all probability the cJty , judge would be a republican. The republican primary election will be held next month, unless extreme measures are brought about which, will delay it until June. If the city judgship is to be retained candidates will have the right to know soon. They will not waht to go into a nominating race, knowing they will be left without chances for the office by the date of the general election. If the office is not done away with, the candidates! will want to know, so that they may begin how and push their campaign. Uuder the new law, It will become necessary also to elect another councll-man-at-large. At present the common council consists of one man from each
ward and three councUmen-at-Iarge...
The new law requires a councilman from every ward and half as many counciltnen-at-large as there are wards, n this city ther are eight wards and this means another counellmen-at-large Is to be addedto the list. Already a number of aspirants for council are in the field. . Harvey Brown, at present a counciknan-at-large, has announced his candidacy for council from the sixth ward, t is ex pccted that Charles Wettig, the present , representative of the.sixtb ., will again seek the office. W.. Pj-O'Neal, a member of the board of, public works, whoee term expires the- first of next year, a former councilman from this ward, may seek the office again; H.-H.-Englebert is a candidate in the third
Many Job Hunters. In several of the wards it believed the present councilman will .seek, reelection. This is not believed likely. to prove true in the second, and fifth wards. Henry, Deuker," councilman from the second, is a candidate for mayor. In the fifth, 'Oliver Leftwlck,

hind McGraw in the action, he took in dismissing Si. who punched Coach
Latham on slight provocation.
"The first thing I knew of the af
fair," declared Mr, Brush, "was' when
McGraw told mo about it immediately after it happened, and I complimented him on his good judgment. Seymour came to me and asked; me his standing with the club. "I osfted him the cause of the trouble with Latham and he said they were playing at a game of cards when Si coughed. Latham said, 'Look out, Si, you will cough up a jackpot.' 'A very trival cause for Seymour's brutal assault, t thought. "I have known Latham for twenty years and . I know there is nothing vicious in'nis' nature." The affair caused no end of excitement among the players and guests of the hotel.

By the end of next week it is believed that the citizens will know just what the mayoralty timber looks like, that is in respect to knowing the personel. There are three prospective candidates who are still undecided,.
These three are. Judge W. C. Converse
of the city court;, A. C Llndemutb, formerly city attorney; and Watson P. O'Neal, republican member of the board of works. Last evening, each of these
three men stated that the future was
indeterminate as yet, but that they had it under consideration. All the men
have many friends who are urging
them to make the race. There are five men In the race at
present and if these three announce themselves, the field will be the largest
in many years. It is probable, how
ever, that the first of these candidates
to announce himself will cause the other two to decide it is best to wait
for four more years.

"Mrs. Temple's Telegram." An announcement which should excite the greatest interest among local theatergoers is that of the forthcoming performance here of "Mrs. Temple's Telegram' by Miss Rose Evans and a splendid supporting company. The famous farce comedy is too well known to need extended description, while the mere fact that Miss Evans is in the cast Is a guarantee of the quality of the company,' farther assurance of which lies in the fact that the production is under the direction of Messrs. Charles H. Small and Thomas Hall, who have always been
identified with only what is the best
in the amusement field.

The elective officers of the house were renominated as follows: Alexander McDowell, Pennsylvania, clerk; Henry Casson, Wisconsin, sergeant-at-arms; F. B. Lyon, New York, doorkeeper; Samuel A. Langum, Minnesota, postmaster; Rev. Henry N. Couden, Chaplain. The, results of .the. caucus .was

VogePs Vast Venture.
A local manager who had growled
at the proprietor of the big. city min
strels exacting a very large percentage for his enormous entertainment
when - he realized the investment extravagantly expended In the outfit and confessed it when he said: "My stars,
Vogel, it is no wonder that you demand almost the whole loaf for your receipts. Private palace cars, $10,000 first part, a superbly equipped street
parade and the support, transportation and salaries for fifty people, cer
tainly does tie up a power of money
and requires a lot of coin to keep the
fabric going and with all your rivals
tell me that you are walking on vel

It was not always thus; it is a matter of fact that in 1863 a popular

Washington, March 13. When con
gress assembles on Monday it will begin one of the most Important sessions in its history. Tariff revision Will, of course, occupy the center of the stage, but beside that for which the whole country is clamoring there are many other measures of the utmost importance that will be considered at this session.
Six of these are the income tax, in
heritance tax, parcels poet bill, postal savings bank, revision of the currency and limitation of the power'of injunction!. These, and' the new tariff bill.
will fully occupy congress for; several
months. It is thought that the extra session will last until at least the be
ginning and probably the end of June.
There will be,' as usual, a' flood of
small bills, but these will receive scant consideration at tbe ' hands of
the lawmakers in face of the other
more important legislation.
Need of Revision. President Taft's message to congress will lay stress on the need of
revision of the tariff and it is under
stood will be brief and to the point
The special session also will have to deal with the Sherman anti-trust
law and consider some adjustment of
tbe rights of capital and labor, which have , grown more acute owing to the Gompers case decisions. The new administration is facing
and must handle some big problems,
most of them inheritances from the Roosevelt regime. Among them are the suits against1 the Standard Oil
company, tbe proceedings to dissolve
tbe tobacco trusts, the suits against
the powder trust, coal trust and
against the Harriman railroads. Land
fraud prosecutions in the west will,
it is understood, be taken up by the
new attorney general, Wickersham, where they were laid down, by Bonaparte. There are pending and will be presented many prosecutions and suits against the railroads under the interstate commerce laws.
Three Months Session. The Taft administration and the extra session of congress will have their hands full with large public questions for the next three months. Probably the legislation that will cause more work and worry than any other, next to getting the tariff bill through so that it pleases a majority of the business Interests of the country will be the attempt to devise some sort of legislation to bring in more revenue so replace the" fast dwindling treasury sarplus and to provide sufficient funds to pay the current expenses of the government, which are constantly increasing at a rate that badly scares the watchdogs of the treasury in the house.
