sprightly and witty 'Semblins. "'is no
more. Last Saturday morning'he was
found dead in his bed at Battle Noun

has been engaged as editor of Measure
for Measure. His death is supposed to
have been caused by heart disease, as
he retired in apparent good health the
evening previous. Everything indi-
Gated thatShe died without struggle.
Suddenly, calmly, and peacefully the
spirit severed its connection with its
earthly tenament, and took its depart
ure. let US hope. to a better world.
Mr.. Forbes was we'll known on this
coast as a writer of something more
than ordinary ability. For years
he had been connected with newspa-
pers in California, Nevada and Utah.
Since the death of his wife, which oc-
Cured some five or six years ago. he
appeared to have lost much of his for
mer vigor and sprightliness as a writer.
He had many warm personal friends,
who regret his untimely end. He
leaves one child, sprightly boy of
ten summers. who resides with his
grand parents in Coloma, California.
His remains were taken below on last
evenings train for interment beside
his wife at Coloma. Peace to his
ashes, and green be the sod above
them.

The Way it Rains in Florida.
From the Cincinnati Commercial.


1t is hard for a northern farmer, who
watches the horizon with aching eyes. to
understand the clock like regularity of this
rainy season south, Occasionally, as this
year, it is delayed; but once set 10 it goes
on regularly. There is a misty or clear
morning, the air transfused with blush
ing, rainbowy efulgence that melts away
in the ardent kisses of the sun into an
intense dazzle of sunlight up to 2 o'clock
Then the skirmishers of the rain rush in
on cool, dewy winds, and by sharp 3 o'clock
the whole line is platoon firing in great,
heavy fusilades. Such rains! Gorgeous,
glorious, rushing, a magnificent enthusiasm
of pIunging moisture. Then the long roll
of the thunder drums; the cracking artil
ery, with its splendor of electric fash
toned off in low rolls; and, before you are
aware, the mobile army has gathered up
its splendid wings, its fire and after guard
and reserves, and only in the west you see
it's grand victorious battle flags ribbing the
sky with broad bands of color. Mix in a
few rainbows some foggy mornings when
the whole air is prismy, and the clear, still
lake looks like an undersky, and you have
some idea of Florida in the rainy season.

grand battle panorama goes on at set 2 o

Rumor at the treasury department has it
that one of the parties, whose name is

Vetoed.

The CITY council at its last regular meet
ing passed an ordinance, by vote of 8 to
2, appropriating $279.26 for the payment
of the salary of E. W. Boynton, superin-
tendent of the water works, from June !,
to date. The mayor, true to his purpose
to prevent Mr.. Boynton from getting his
we'll earned salary as long as possible, has
vetoed this ordinance, and Mr.. Boynton
need expect no money until the circuit
court compels the mayor to act as the
servant of the city instead of its master.
The council, at its next regular meeting.
will pass the ordinance over the mayor
veto, and then Judge Peasants will be
asked to issue mandamus to compel the
payment of the money justly due to MIR.

In one respect, the above is not true.
The Mayor has not and never had pur-
pose or desire to keep FROM Mr.. Boyn-
ton or any other man well earned sal
ary'' or any money Justly his DUE" His
desire is and has been to protect the peo-
pies treasury from an unjust and illegal
raid upon it. He desires to get settle
uent with Mr., Boynton. Mr.. B. has
been in Office some four years and the city
has never had settlement of his accounts.
The Mayor will not sign any order or war
rant to pay him any money, at least not
until a settlement of his accounts can be
had. And the Mayor further
desires to know whether Butler
& Co. have the power to repeal
annul or ignore an act of the legislature Of
Illinois which City Attorney Gest ha:
officially informed them is part of oul
city charter.
According to our city charter the terms
of all city officials expire on the seconc

According to the recent act of the legis
lature, which City Attorney Gest ha
officially informed Butler & Go. is a par
of the city charter, the Mayor has RICH

Butler & Co. ordered the city sued
because the Mayor would not sign one G
their illegal orders. They found out, b
consulting Mr.. Osborn, that they had
lame case, and then they began again, b.

are going to pass it over the Mayors veto
and then they are going to the circui
court to ask from Judge Peasants an Of

very near passing in his checks. He left

was going into Albany, 81 miles above

der was sitting in his easy chair, in the
baggage room of the baggage and smoking
car, piously reading the book of Proverbs
"a copy of which is furnished each conduc-
tor on the road by Hon. Dan. A. DIN, the
general superintendent when the end of a
heavy I. rail came up through the bottom
Of the car few inches behind the Elders
chair, tearing away the partition between
the baggage and smoking rooms, smashing
the news boys storehouse into kindling
wood, and sending his light literature
over the prairie in a demoralized and
worthless condition, and staving a hole
through the side and roof of the car moi
quite large as the side of barn. The
train was moving slow at the time but the
heavy rail was bent as if it was a piece o.
wire and the tain stopped aud held righ
there. The movements of the Elder arr
