profound sigh, arose with a tear in
his eye and remarked that the Washing
ton engine subject was an old timer
that 1t had come up regularly before the
Council for the last three years, received
its annual amount of "chin" and then
as gracefully retired back to the Com
mittee on Fire with power to sell. He,
for one, was tired of the subject, and
humbly trusted that if the present able
Committee could not sell the machine,
that they give it away, and he would set
up peanut. After this generous out
burst the engine was referred to the
Fire Department with power to sell,
and we hereby notify adjacent towns
that the engine is in good order, and
very suitable for small village, and
can be bought cheap. No charge for
this ''ad."

10 Keep animals that pTOwl the streets.
The Mayor again fearlessly addressed
the Council and asked leave to be absent
from the city until August lst, which
was granted. While Mr.. Wyant was re-
marking that the new clock behind the
Presidents desk was very good, the GRO
quet mallet fell at $50.
PROFOUND PERTINENT POINTS.
Council meetings now begin at p. m.
The new clock has arrived and is
placed behind the Presidents desk. 1t
is a daisy.
The city should build a pound to
corral stray animals who rove the streets
in sweet liberty.
Get your buildings numbered and the
streets named before July 1st so that the
letter earlier can find all addresses.
The finger snapper foolishness has
been quietly ignored, and the business
goes on just the same, without any con-
VulsiOn of nature.
1t Is hoped that the POO street improve
ment petitions now lying on Mr.. Faw-
cetCS office table do not crowd out his
other legal business.
Mr.. Warmers idea of economy was TO
reduce the number of police by striking
of four men, and put their salaries into
the street and alley fund.
The Mayor will be absent from the
city. until August, on a visit TO Hot
Springs, Ark, and his place will be filled
ad interim by Justice d. WOrley.
The DumOnt whisky bill, now grown

listing sidewalks i'll the city, and report
TO the Council, and all defective ones
must be put in order at once.
The Committee on location of public
buildings had nothing to say, but will
hold meeting some time this week. 1t
begins to look doubtful whether we get

They are not Hiner's cows that nibble
grass on the city streets. If they were,
ne would elevate his horn and call them
nome at once. They would hear him
without trouble, even if beyond the East
Creek.
Mr.. Fawcett, while advocating an ad-
d1tlonal levy for streets and alleys, made
point by saying that every two weeks
the Street Commissioner Is paid $3.50 for
repairing streets, which would be par

OH the start.
rs 1T necessary to take a gas-pOst
down whenever tree grows upP" is the
question that troubles Mr.. Wyant. The
great trouble appears to be that when a
post Is to be removed all the neighbOrs
want it in front of their own house,
Better put lantern on a pole and hire
boy to carry it.
