Thos. Alexander, Esq, of La. Don
District, and practical engineer oil
large experience, says that Robaugh's
Little Giant Pump is the cheapest
most durable and the best Force
Pump in use and just what is needed
in the deep wells Of California, and
especially adapted to wind mills.
Thos. carries level head, and
wherever these pumps have been
used in this country people say the
same thing for them. whether in 8
deep or shallow well. They arc
made to wear, Of the best material
by experienced mechanics, under the
eye of the inventor and patcntee, and
always do just what is expected OF
them.
Ellis Wiley & Co. are the agents OF
Messrs. Cook Il McCue in Southern
California, and we understand from
the manufacturers that they are hav-
ing large safe of these pumps in
that far of country.

i Aa y
Oct. lst, 1877.
4 The Council mot in regular session
with five members present, viz: Boul
ton, Jordan, Mast, McGrcw and Nc.
Cue and Mr.. Mayor.
/ A petition was presented from Mrs
Sarah Coffin in relation to sidewalk
matters claiming that the city had
made an over assessment. The petit.
ton was referred to the Street Com.
mittec for their consideration.
Jordan brought up the Jefferson
street grade and favored putting that
thoroughfare to grade from Fourth
to Fifth streets at once and made q
motion to that effect. The PROPOSE
ton, owing to scarcity of money in
the city treasury and certain formali-
ties which 1t was necessary to 60
through with, did not meet with much
favor, but the matter was finally ad-
justed by an amendment made by
Boulton to the effect that the CITY
should advertise for bids for putting
Jefferson street to grade from Main.
The amendment was finally adopted.
There was little amusement in the
speech made by democratic alder
man from the Second Ward, who,
after tho motion as amended had been
adopted, concluded his speech by
moving the previous question.
The Mayor, in quiet way, re-
marked: "Mr. McCue, will you
please tell us what the previous ques-
ton is ?"
Apologies were in order which
werc received With. considerable
laughter and business proceeded.
Alderman Jordan presented the
petition of some strangers asking per-
mission to establish a variety thcater.
There was nothing done about 1t, as
the present law is such as to cover
the case without any special legisla-
ton.
A resolution was read and adopted
ordering sidewalk on the south
side of Fifth between Washington
and Marion streets.
A resolution was read and adopted
amending the rules of order and au-
thorizing the appointment of Wa
ter Committee of four persons.
The Street Commissioners present.
cd several bills against property own
ers for delinquent sidewalk tax. As
usual they were all referred 10 the
Solicitor for collection.
The City Marshal reported that his
collections during the month amounts
ed to S., for which he presented the
Trcasuror's receipt.
Tho Mayor reported that his col
lections amounted to 1923 during the
month. q
Hobbs & Co. presented bill for
700 yards of earth to the fill
at the foot of Court street at &c per
cubic yard, amounting to 1854. The
bill was ordered paid.
The Street Commissioners pay roll,
the Gas Cos. bill for street lamps and
Office light, police bills and officers
salaries were read and motion made
to pay the bills. Motion lost, Alder
man Jordan voting no.
Roll call was ordered on the mo-
ton to pay the bills. Lost by the
vote: Aye, Mast, McGrew
and Boulton. No, Jordan and Nc
Cue.
The Council then adjourned.

The writer has just returned from
. two days trip to tho st. Louis Tx.
| position and Fair.
On tho estimate Of the st. Louis pa
pers there were one hundred thous-
and visitors there yesterday. Ger
tainly an immense concoursc wal
present, and il is reasonable to expect
that from now until the close Of the
Fair on the 9th inst, a great crowd Of
people will daily visit.it.
In many respects the show is equal
to the Centennial, notably SO in its OK
hibition OF agricultural and manufac-
turcd products, and in the showing Of
fine hogs, cattle, sheep and horses, it
is perhaps the best aggregation ever
witnessed in this country.
We observed that oil the railroad
trains concentrating at st. Louis ran
into one elegant Union Depot which
IL great Improvement since we last
visited that city. There you will not
be driven to the necessity Of imperil-
ing your life by being sandwiched in
between railroad trains to get con-
vcyancc to the city. Upon the con-
trary you alight from the train in .
covered depot where an employee will
direct you to a bus or Street car
which will convey you direct to your
hotel.
At this end of the line Mr.. w. G.
Linn, the cnterprising and accommo-
dating agent of the st. Louis, Kansas
City and Northern Railroad, will be
found on hand at all times ready 10
give the traveller any desired infor-
nation.
We advise our readers to visit the
st. Louis Fair. The road from here
is in excellent order; the rates low,
and the exhibition will far exceed
your most sanguine expectations.
Moreover, if you desire to combine
business with pleasure you will find
heavy stocks of goods
in that City, and with q desire among
its merchants to increase their trade
in this direction.

II Is unusual, In this part Of the
country Il least, FOR people to get up
and keep alive from year to year,
township fairs. But in this matter
Agency township 10 in advance OF
her neighbors, and for this progress
in agriculture and the other arts, her
citizens are deserving Of the highest
commentator. In accordance with
our custom Of knowing what IL Ia
king place around us We had repre-
sentative on tho grounds ofthc Agcn-
cy Fair, to-day.
Under the good management Of
Mcssrs. Reynolds, Myers, Brown and
others, this Fair this week has been .
decided success. They report that
the attendance and other means Of
income have been sufficient to defray
all expenses and pay all premiums.
A good display Of horses, cattle,
hogs and sheep was to be seen, al
though some few had been removed,
It being near the close. The poultry
fancier was also there.
Among the exhibitors of Swine
were d. Sautbine, C. M. Bedwell, s.
X. Creamer, A. J. Reeves, IL G. Van
SAINT, H. G. Humbert, j. G. Bryan, and
Chas. Conlcy. There werc only fcw
pens of sheep.
Chas. Dudley & Son had a fine herd
Of Short Horns, among them very
fine bull. Mr.. Creamer, Mr.. Pearson,
Mr.. Cloudy, had fine bulls, and Mr..
Vansant herd Of Short Horns.
j. L. Virdcn, Milton Giltner, E. T.
Sage, and j. p. Circuit exhibited some
fine stations, and among several fine
yearling colts wo noticed one owned
by John Fullcn, and among two-year-
olds, one owned by A. J. Reeves.
There were several others whose
owners names we did not learn.
The entries in the horse division were
very numerous. To show the extent
of the horse list we will merely men,
ton that in the walking race which
came of this forenoon, there were
fourteen entries.
Hicks & Covertson and John Fullen
displayed some wagons, cultivators
and other implements, and Samuel
Young some stoves and tinware.
A finer show of corn we never saw,
any year, and great number of
specimens were there of almost every
thing in the grain and vegetable de-
partment.
The display of needlework, pic
lures, and other items Of fine art was
excellent. Altogether, considered as
! township fair, it is decided suc-
,ess, and worthy Of imitation.
The Agency City Band was on hand
10 add further interest to the occa-
lion, and their efforts were duly APP
oreciated by those in attendance.
The buildings yet are not expen-
i've, being mostly temporary, but it
% the determination of the citizens Of
Agency City and vicinity to put up
better buildings at some future time
md carry their fairs on to greater
In this they are emf
lently sensible, as nothing will get up
better reputation for an agricultural
than the success of their
airs, and we therefore award them
he red ribbon as first premium on
heir common sense.- Da,ly of Satur-
lay.
