some years, the Professor became quite
gleetul, declaring that his prophecy had
been literally fulfilled. as the highest tidal
wave ever known had been reported at
Halifax, and kilograms he had received
from all parts indicated severe tempest.
He was especially anxious to hear from
the Bay Of Bengal and the Gulf of Mexico,
where u tidal wave must have occurred on
the 10th, from which hundreds Of thou
sands of people persisted. Nv short, this
storm "wes the greatest that can possibly
occur on this planet, and the greatness OF

But the truth is, besides the blow on the
northeast seabOard, which lasted but u few
hours, and on the North Carolina coast
which was equally Insignificant, there was
nowhere any semblancc OF the tornado
predicted. Not q whisper comes Of n cy'

OUR CITY GOVERNMENT.

! One OF our little city evening handb!lls
in Its diurnal rush after the sensational
undertakes TO get up a stir about our city
government on the basis Of recent deci-
sion o. the supreme court Of this state In
regard 70 the city government Of Spring
field, III. In that city, as IN Ottawa, yeai
ago, on the same day of the annual election
of mayor and aldermen under the old city
charter, the question of organization under
the general incorporation law of the state
was submitted TO vote Of the people, and
rs in Ottawa, the majority was IN favor of
the general law Under the new charter,
thus adopted, the regular election for may.
or and other city officers takes place in ODD
years. so our city authorities concluded
to allow the newly elected mayor and coun.
Gil to be insugurated and to defer the re.
districting Of the city and the new election
OF mayor and officers until the time of the
regular election IN 1883. In Springfield
they did differently Although the newly
elected mayor and council claimed TO take
office, the old mayor and council proceeded
al once TO redIstrict the city into wards
and to order special election in May for
q new mayor and city council. And now
comes the supreme court and decides that
the latter proceeding was legal and regu.
lar, the old charter having expired on tine
day of the adoption OF the general law ;
that the newly elected mayor and council
In April therefore had no legal status, and
that the only proper course lcf, was for
the old mayor aud council TO proceed at
once to put the new charter into operation
as was done.
The CLAIM, however. that because in o.
tawa different course was pursued and
the newly elected mayor and council we're
inaugurated and not ousted afterwards, as
they might nave been by proper legal pro-
eesdlngs. therefore all their acts and dolngs
are null: and. void, 10 neither good law
or common sense. The law abhors an IN
