Upon motion the report was received
and adopted. w. p. Stone then offered
the following resolution which upon mo-
ton was adopted:
ReSotUed, That tits the sense of this
meeting that the Common Council of
the city of Lancaster for the
ensuing year, be instructed to grant
license for the sale of intoxicating liq-
uors and drinks only to responsible and
proper persons.
That whenever complaint shall be
made in the proper manner to the Com
mon Council that any person has in any
manner violated the excise law, that
the Common Council shall Immediately
summon such offender before them, and,
if the complaint be proven, the Com
mon Council shall at once revoke his
license, begin an action on his bond
forfeited, and prosecute the offender
criminally for the violation.
That we, as law-abidiDg citizens of
the city of Lancaster, hereby pledge
to the Common Council our earnest and
sincere support in enforcing this law.
1t was then moved and seconded that
the meeting proceed to the nomination
of city officers for the ensuing year
carried. Before proceeding to this
business, however, Mayor Holloway said
that as the resolution offered by Mr..
Stone seemed to reflect on the course
the council took in the matter of the
proceedings commenced against w. o.
Stephens to revoke his license, he wished
to say few words on that subiect--that
the board had deemed it best in view of
the hard feelings that would be engen-
dered by the testimony that would have
been brought out, and the litigation
that would have been commenced if
they had gone on with the prosecution,
to settle the matter rs they did. He
claimed that they had precedent in a
case that occurred while Judge Glenn
entson was mayor.
Edward Pollock moved that the meet
ing express it's approval of the course
the city council took in the matter
Seconded.
Mr. Willis said he did not understand
the resolution to have been any refec-
ton on the past board, but simply to be
instructions TO the new board. Mr..
Stone assured the meeting that no re.
Fiction was intended. Mr.. Pollock
claimed that it was such to all intents
and purposes. and urged the motion.
On motion of John p. Lewis the motion
of Mr.. Pollock was laid on the table.
Judge Clementson then SAID that all this
was depression, and that the business
before the house was the nomination OF
city officers. He TOOK occasion, howev-
er, to explain the difference between the
action of the board when he was mayor
and that of the late board
The meeting then proceeded to the
nomination of city officers with the fol-
lowing result:
For Mayor-Lewls Holloway.

A COINCIDENCE. A few days ago, a
couple of gentlemep who met in this
office were discussing the use of tobacco.
One was a user of the weed and tho
other was not. The abstai remarked
that little circumstance that occurred
several years ago gave him strong
dissemination to the use of tobacco. He
said that, happening to be in . certain
town in Southern Illinois where he was
a comparative stranger, and having
some time on his hands. he was wan
dering about the streets and looking
into the various business houses, and
strolled into tobacco factory. They
were engaged in the manufacture of n
kind of plug tobacco called "hounders,'
each plug being made in the peculiar
form of that fish-large in the middle
and tapering at either end. While
watching the operation with some inter-
est the gentleman overheard CONVEX
sation between two boys, employees in
the factory, in regard to the tricks they
had played. One remarked: II put
mouse in one of these founders the
other day. was just finishing up
plug when l spied dead mouse on the
floor. picked it up and put it right in
the middle of the founder, and let it GO.
| wonder who got that plug, and what
he said. - At this point in his narrative
the gentleman was interrupted by the
astonished exclamation of his hearer-
Il can tell you who got it; | got it my
self a few years ago l went into
rs store (naming certain store in
Grant county, and bought a plug of
founder tobacco. Being rather large
to put into my pocket whole, | cut it in

and looking | saw enclosed in the To-

word, but handed it to- y neighbor who
stood near by and he took chew, dis

next. They all took a chew, until some
one let the mouse out of the bag. and
and then such sick lot of fellows you
