The public installation Of officers by
the G. A. r. on Wednesday evening
in Odd Fellows hall, reminded one oil
the hardships the boys had to endure
about 20 years ago, when in the per-
Torrance of their duty to their country
when laurels were gained of which we
all feel proud The lodge was called
to- order by the commander, G.. j.
Jackson. After the preliminary exer-
cises had been gone through with, d.
E. Carey the mastering officer took
the chair and proceeded to install the
officers in regular order. Mr.. Carey
performed his duty with ease and
-promptness and he received the COM
mendation of his supporters. The
newly elected officers received the oath
Of their Office, after which the members,
their wives, and visiting brethren left
the hall for the basement of the Cong.
Church where supper was in waiting
Toasts were made by several of the
members and music by the Cong.
Church choir in the course of the
evening added greatly to the good
feeling prevailing throughout.

At the meeting of the city fathers
Monday evening bill was presented
by Mrs. nj. G. Woodworth for board
care and attendance of the young
lady who was taken suddenly i'll with
scarlet fever at their home. The bill
called for $500 per week for board of
an attendant and $1.00 per day for
the expense of the person sick, in all
amounting to $40. This was certain
ly cheap for the labor, care and ex-
pehse Of this person. but the council
cut the bill down to $50. This seems
unjust compared with their action on
some bills recently allowed. Take for
instance the bill allowing our old
friend Belknap $40 90 for the use OF
his room in the second ward two days
for election purposes. There is not
one member of the council who would
have given up the use Of their room,
burned wood and oil night and day,
furnished washing, care, food and 9TH
er necessaries attendant in such cases
for the small sum charged in this case
and the bill should have been allowed
in full. It Is not TOO late for them to
repair this wrong. Their action should
be reconsidered and the bill allowed in
full The said sum Of $40 will not
make them whole In this case.
