Mr.. and Mrs. Ike Wilson, who kept house
of none too good repute, in the alley in the rear
of Main street between La Sale and Clinton
streets, were not exactly model family. Both
had habits of hard drinking; and their morals
were by no means irreproachabe. Early on
Wednesday evening Wilson was found drunk in
his house by painter named Rogers, who had
found Mrs. Wilson and had helped her to get
home. When told to keep his wife at home,
Wilson said: LET her 20 to hell; can't keep
her in" Some time afterwards the woman, who
also was drunk, left the house, and when next
seen was found in the morning lying face down.

down and was too drunk TO turn her head to keep

verdict of accidental suffocetion. She was 81
years old and leaves no children

| The report of the special committee Of the
Business Mems Association on the subject OF the
Reorganization of the city government under the
general law was not presented at the meeting on
last Monday evening, owing to mistake in dates.
Nevertheless the substance Of 1t was stated by
Mr. Hull, who had seen it; and the report favor
ably impressing those present, a committee of
five, consisting of D. ?. Jones, L. Perkins, Il,
W. Buchanan, J. ID. Young and !, Well was APP
pointed to prepare and circulate pcti.
ton to the city council asking the calling of
an election on the subject. The report of the
committee prepared by Mr.. Lynch and agreed
to by Mr. Mayo, is as follows, and cmbodies the
NAN points of the general law in few words:
Your committee, to whom was referred the
question OF organizing our city government
under the general law, beg leave to report:
We have carefully examined the present char.
ter and find it to be like an old garment, which,
having been made from poor materials required
patching and darning from the day when it was
first brought into use. The patches (amend-
ments) are now so numerous that it is diff
cult to discover a sample OF the original materl-
al. This being result of our investigation,
we most heartily recommend organization under
the general law, which combines all the essen.
tial qualifications for conducting municipal gov
civilization.
For the information of members not familiar
with the general law we herewith present u few
Of its provisions:
/. One-cighth of the voters voting at the pre-
ceding election shall petition the city council to
submit to the people the question OF organizing
under the general law.
g. Elections under the law shall be held on
the 30 Tuesday of April, the day on which town
elections are held.
!. The mayor shall hold his Office for two
years.
5. Citizens who are indebted to the city for
taxes or otherwise are prohibited from holding
city offices.
6. No city officer can ne directly or indirectly
interested in any contract to which the city is
party.
. City officers are restrained from furnishing
goods or materials that are to be paid for out Of
the city treasury.
s. Aldermen can hold no other city office.
Q. The question of minority representation
shall be submitted with the question Of organi-
cation.
TO- The number of aldermen is regulated by
the population. When the population is over
five thousand and less than ten thousand the
number OF representatives is fixed at ten.
II. The mayor TO receive such compensation
a. the preceding council may fix, not exceeding
5000.
L. The aldermen shall receive such compen-
sstion as the preceding council may fix, not ex-
ceeding 50 per meeting.
The committee circulating petition TO be pre-
sented to the city council asking vote on the
subject OF reorganization have secured the requl-
site names of one-eighth of the voters at the last
election, and have the paper ready for presenta-
ton at the next meeting Of the city council,
which we believe will be q called one for next
Tuesday evening. After thirty days notice the
election can be held.

bargains Still to be Had.

II. J. GILLEN's sale of winter goods continues
to present bargains Of unusual importance, for
Notwithstanding the immense piles of goods that
have been disposed of during the passing month
there is still an immense stock on hand In all
lines. They must be disposed Of before spring
opens and will be if people who have not yet
called take advantage of the rare opportunities
now offered We cannot too strongly urge all to
call and see these goods and low prices. Re-
member, new prices in winter dry goods, boots
and shoes and groceries.
