IT'S A DISCONCERTING CLOCK.
Even the Dials on the Independence
Timepiece Can't Agree.
There will be a meeting of the Independence city council tonight and bids will be received to have the town clock regulated. For ten days the official timepiece of the city has been running forty-one minutes fast, and no two of the four dials tell the same tale. Factory hands get puzzled over the time of day, and the clock, instead of being a convenience, has been declared a nuisance. The other day a manufacturing concern manager found his employes walking out at 11:20 o'clock by his timepiece. When asked what was the matter they pointed to the hands of the dial indicating 12 o'clock noon.
