As to whether or not the new board will make a change in that oflice I am unable to say the commissioners are very quiet on the subject. But in my peregrinations among the people I have learned that Tofto has given general satisfaction as an officer of the law. During his administration but one robbery of importance has taken place, and the city has been almost entirely free from other deviltry.

The joints and places of that character, which the city fathers have seen fit to let run as necessary evils, have been kept in an orderly manner, rows and fights seldom occurring. The financial management of the police department during Tofle's administration lias been a success, and an examination of the records will show that they have been kept properly. The politicians may succeed in removing Tofte, but if they do they will, in my opinion, remove a faithful officer. A stranger struck the town one day last week with a combined man and bear which he advertised very extensively as a freak, and the people went in great droves to see the creature, paying ten cents apiece toj get in. I went, too, and after spending an hour (which was all I spent-the door-keeper recognized the profession) in the society of the freak 1 unhesitatingly pronounced it a colossal humbug.

If I thought I could make a stake by perpetrating such a gigantic fraud upon the people, I would proceed at once to get a car load of "man-bears" and tour the country. Of course the "man-bear" appeared just as advertised, but it was a base deception to advertise it as a freak. Why, Atchison if full of such freaks. Nearly every household has a "man-bear," one of these cross, rabid, disagreeable individuals who lias a lit every time something goes wrong, and who makes life a burden lo all with whom be comes into contact. A "man-bear," in the general acceptance of the term, is a fellow who objects to everything, one who was born in the objective Underwear join him in the fall.

As the carriage had driven up rather rapidly the men were forced to run as fast as thtja could to assume their places in the ranks, and one unfortunate fellow, in his haste, forgot his gun.

This was immediately noticed by the crown prince, who, as soon as ever the carriage had stopped, instead of entering the palace, hurried oft with his brothers to the officer in command of the guard for the purpose of lodging a complaint against the soldier who had appeared without his William Cairns, the popular West Atchison druggist, is not giving away intr'a careful examination, the entire fabric from the base to the top of the soda water, but sells pure, fresh drugs, and carefully compounds prescriptions, at lin was found to be ready to fall to places. prices to suit times.
