Henee He Will kesign, as
Chairman
The City Fathers will hold their reg
ular monihlv meeting tonight in the
Mayor's office. The September meeting
will be of note chiefly from two facts
first the longed-for report of the Light
Committee will not be forth-coming,
and second no report will be pi'esented
from the Street Committee.
The public were anxious for some re
port from the Light Committee for un
til the past week the service was mis
erable, and the people of Raleigh want
ed to know the reason for this.
Alderman Correll, chairman of the
Light Committee in an Interview re
cently published in the Times-Visitor,
stated that this committee would offer
a warm report tonight.
A reporter called on Chairman Cor
rell todav and asked for the text of
this report.
'There will be no report from the
Light Committee tonight," he replied.
The reason for this is that Alderman
Correll was the onlv member of the
Light Committee who showed up at the
meeting called for last night. Since
Alderman Correll could not constitute a
quorum alone no business could be
transacted.
Alderman Correll was disappointed
at the failure to hold a committee
meeting last night and tonight he will
tender his resignation as chairman of
the Light Committee.
He will be succeeded as chairman by
Alderman McDonald of the First Ward
The chairman of the Police Commit
tee states that he will have nothing
new for the board tonight.

The Wild Man Has Been

LASSOED IN WII'-AIR
TwoSwIft Creek Officinls uith It '1 loon
Capturers the Wild !.-i mid
He is Now in l a !
square.
By Special Cable from Ananias Head
quarters. Of course the mil su-.uU . actions of
the wild man of Sw ift r, .; created a
sensation in all of Uhamkaite. Politi
cians alone could account for such a
kick-up. Evolutions fn,!i democratic
to populistic Ideas, flops from republi
can to fusion proclivities were familiar
transactions, but none of these had
pulled the two old parties up, root and
branches, and suddenly disappeared.
There are some peaceful farmers who
had not wandered about the swamps
and .consequently had not heard of the
wild man. These usually spend their
evenings unon their verandas cooling
off, after the day's work. Such was
Mr. Ed. Bledsoe doing when a dense
shadow passed through the lawn in
front of his house. Mr. Bledsoe at
once raised his eyes upward and beheld
a large tree floating through the air, to
which was attached a human shape,
making all manner of gyrations similar
to the frantic actions of a crazy trape
zist in a ten-cent circus. Mr. Bledsoe
immediately telephoned to Ananias
headquarters In Raleigh for an inflated
balloon, which was hurried to his place
of residence. In the meantime Mr.
Bledsoe, who, by the way, Is a justice
of the peace, sent for Rufe Powell, con
stable, and these two officials entered
the basket of the balloon opened the
valve and hurriedlv ascended to a
height of half a mile or more. By aid
of a powerful glass Ed. Bledsoe sighted
the object they were in search of, slow
ly moving northwestwardly, and Rufe
Powell steering the balloon, opened
wider the valve and the air ship fairly
flew throueh space. When near the
home of Bob Horton, in the House's
Creek country, the air ship opened one
of her 13-inch portholes and sent a
sol'd shot at the eree, but with no ef
fect. Rufe Powell then run out a dy-
namie tube and sent one of those Vesu
vius speculators out into the air, which
struck the tree square in the roots, and
roots, trunk, branches and leaves were
scattered wildly among the clouds. The
balloon was now within fifty yards of
the falling wild man ,and Ed. Bledsoe
opened an automatic lasso valve and
straight through the air flew one hun
derd feet of well oiled flaxen rope, the
end of which made several wraps about
the body of the wild man and tied itself
nto a double sailor knot, and the wild
man was suspended beneath the bal-
oon. Rufe Powell at once reversed the
action of the air ship and slowly de
scended, making a landing in Bob Hor-
ton's fornt yard.
The wild man was secured by chains
and cables and brought to this city
and carried to Tom Brockwell's, who
riveted strong iron bands upon his an
kles and wrists and a steel belt about
his waist, and then this monster was
turned over to Dr. Burnes as a com
panion to the vicious squirrel in Burns'
Zoo Zoo, and an additional prevention
to nurses and small children trespass
ing upon that forbidden ground.
There will be no more poison used in
this administration flower garden, as
this wild man eats dogs.
There may be some who will think
this is but a sensational Item, but such
is not the oase. This manuscript was
submttten to a full meeting of the An
anias Club, and Captain L. W. Smith
reported back that he had read it to
Shelly Swain who declared that he
believed every word of it.

WEATHER CONDITIONS.

The storm has moved in a north
westerly direction and Is now central

ROYAL HOSPITALITY
Mr. Jus. Browu Back from
Bankers Convention
OMAHA EXPOSITION
Mr Brown Tells of the Marvelous Out
put of Colorado Mines -Eery
Curtesy hon the
Bankers.
Mr. Joseph G. Brown, president of
the Citizens National Bank of this city.
returned last evening from Denver.Col
orado, where he attended a convention
of the American Bankers' Association.
He was the only representative among
the 675 from North Carolina. He was
highly honored bv being elected a
member of the executive committee.
Mr.- Brown was greatlv impressed
with the marvelous wealth of Colorado,
but in spite of this he was never better
satisfied with North Carolina. He is
enthusiastic in his praise of the hospi
tality of the people of Denver.
"After the three days' convention
closed the people of Denver hired twenty-five
Pullman .cars and took the 600
on a tour of Colorado. They paid all
the expenses of the trip, too that is,
nearly all.
"The people of the towns visited
would not let them pay in some in
stances. They claimed that privilege
for themselves. The escort of Denver
ites that went with us to show us the
sights was headed by ex-Governor and
Mrs. Baxter and Mr. Hayes, Jefferson
Davis' son-in-law. and a dozen other
equally prominent people."
Mr. Brown was greatlv impressed
with the mines visited. He says that
while digging a foundation for a hotel
in the town of Victor, a rich vein of
ore was discovered. At one silver mine
he saw the output of that day and It
was valued at $135,000. At some of the
mines the delegates were given souve
nirs of ore valued at from $3 to $6.
At Cripple Creek and Pueblo the res
taurants and hatels and street cars and
soda water fountains refused to ac
cept payment from any one wearing an
American Bankers' button. At towns
where the visitors did not leave the
cars the citizens gave each man a bas
ket of fruit and each lady a bouquet of
extraordinarily beautiful flowers. The
three days' tour wound up at Colorado
Springs, where the party was met by
250 carriages and taken to ride through
out the city, being mostly driven by the
most prominent men in the city.
Mr. Brown visited the Omaha Expo
sition after leaving Denver. He speaks
in highest terms of the buildings and
displays there. While in Omaha he saw
