POLICE COMMISSION.

POLICE COMMISSION.
transaction of the Ordinary Rou-
tine Business.
Quite an assemblage of people congre-
gated at the Mayors office yesterday
afternoon. Rumors had been flying
about as thick as town lots that the
Police Commission would decapitate
more than two score of club-swingers re-
calcitrant and otherwise. Such was not
the case, however, as subsequent action
showed. In fact everything was lovely
and the anser bernicle was suspended al
titudinously. All of the Commissioners
were present, Mayor Workman in the
chair, and peaceful halo encircled, like
the nimbus, their classic brows and con-
tent perched upon the respective shoul-
ders of the invincible triad. This exalted
condition was perhaps the resultant of a
secret session held prior to the regular
show and in which some members of the
Council took an active part and fixed up
things.

business on the programme was the in
terminable one Of saloon licenses.
