the section boss who was arrested ana
Jailed Yesterday on a charge OF attempt

mary hearing before Justice Hehkle

PREPARING TO PAY UP.
After rather animated discussion in
dlnance was passed repeating the or
dinance which declared the issue OF bonds
to the Central railroad Illegal, This was
the result OF the late decision Of the
federal court, which declared the bonds
valid, and win necessitate their payment
by The city. As no taxes have been levied
TO discharge this obligation since 1888,
the whole affair is muidled and Alder
man Grbblc was empowered TO
make a thorough Investigation of
the books here and at Aus.
tin 1t Is thought that with
the funds now on hand, and the increased
amount Of taxable property, no difficulty
will b0 Experienced in settling with The
road, New bonds bearing a lower rate
Of Interest Will likely be Issued soon.
IHE OTHER EXTREME.
II begins to look as II there ls going TO
be an excess Of rain now that the drought
IL az last broken, and pretty soon com
paint Is apt 10 go up from the farmers.
The ground IL entirely too wet TO 90 into
the wheat fields with reapers, and the
old-iashioned cradles have TO be called
into play. The town folks whose wells
and cisterns needed replenlshing are not,
however, in the ranks Of the kiCkers. Tho
rains ure like April showers with int ryals
Of sunshine.
