From the Minneapolis Tribune
A Kansas man planted twenty acres of
waiermelons, converted the crop into 900
barrels of vinegar and sold the vinegar for
$40 barrel. Having made more money
for himself and less for the doctors than If
he had sold The fruit from the vine, he
should be crowned as a philanthropist.

mile in thirty seconds. The latest in the
line of odd places for tieing the matrimo-
NAL knot occurred yesterday when Mr.

Brooklyn. The motive for selecting this

has its origin in a romance, II seems that

father aud sister, while Mrs. Burbank,
then little girl, lost her mother aud sister

led TO correspondence and yesterday II
ended in wedding. The happy pair

An organization of women in England
has iOr its object a most commendablc one,
namely, to help poor women to get needle
work. The Princess of Wales and others
are greatly interested in tho society; the
badge is tiny pair of scissors, a thimble,
and threaded needle, aud there Is no doubt
that its influence for good will be wide
spread. Somehow, royal patronage is
needed to push these things in
Britain. History tells us the queens
daughters have been well instruct
ed in all that makes homo happy;
also the Princess Alice, the account of
whose sweet young life, the pages of which
are tillod with love and devotion to her
husband, and her unhoundcd charity, has
been read by many American ladies. Some
young ladies in our day arc not brought up
to practice the art of sewing, the modern
machine doing most of the work and as
far as it goes, that is well enough, but there
is no excuse for being as ignorant of the
use Of the thimble as the young lady, who,
being presented with a silver thimhle as a
glft for the Christmas holidays, whimpcrcd
sadly and wished her friend had given her
bracelet instead, as she did not know on
what finger To- wear the thimhlc.

Elsewhere will be found the result OF
the municipal election in this city on
Tuesday last. Everything passed off
quietly and orderly, the only contest had
Tor office being Of the most friendly char
acter. The tickets nominated at the
peoples caucuses were elected without
opposition, with the exception of Mr..
Minette for alderman in the first ward,
who was defeated by Chas. M. Coats,
and of Mr.. Robbins for alderman in the
second ward, who was defeated by
Chas. Fish. The principal contest, on
the question of issuing bonds to the
amount of $4,000 for the purpose of
building a city hall, court room and Jail
was carried affirmatively by an over
whelming majority. A stubborn fight
was made by its opponents and the
great variety of arguments adduced by
them showed a great fertility of re-
sources as well as some distrust of hui
mainly. The HERALD would hate to be-
lieve that a council, elected with care
from our best citizens, could be so cor
rupt as to divert one cent of the city's
money from it's intended purpose, or
consent to its lining any ones pocket in
the shape of commissions, high salaries
to building committees or otherwise. and
yet, similar arguments were used to de-
feat the measure. The HERALD firmly
believes that the contemplated building
will be finished complete, for less sum
than the amount voted, and that the
council elected on Tues lay last will
erect building which will be not only a
useful ornament to The city, but last
ing monument to their integrity and the
trust reposed. The large majority in
favor of the bonds and the unanimity
with which the council was elected
speaks louder than words of the conf
dence of the people.

THAT Mass MEETING-A we'll attended
meeting of citizens was held at the hose
house on Saturday evening last to con-
slider the question of voting $4,000 i'll
bonds for the erection of a city hall and
opera house. Judge Wilcox presided over
the meeting, and the fullest and freest
interchange of ideas was had. For near
ly two hours the matter was discussed in
all lis bearings. 1t was shown clearly
that a two-story building, 42x72 feet,
with ample room for city officers. Jail and
an opera house capable of seating 500
persons could be erected and equipped for
the amount asked for. There was a
handful present who opposed the bonds,
notwithstanding it was shown that the
rentals and the saving of rents to the
city would more than pay the interest on
the bonds. Alexander Moore and Orange
Madison were the leaders of the opposi-
ton, they taking the ground that the
money would all be expended before the
building was nearly completed and a
large deficiency would have to be made
up. Mr.. Moore cited the new school
house as an example. He was followed
by Messrs. Barnum and Harmon who
explained the school building deficiency
SO that there was nothing left of this
sweet morsel. DR.. Dubois followed up
by offering to be one of the twenty to
pledge himself to make good any defici-
ency, and Messrs. Townsend and Rob-
bins agreed to Join in the guarantee. But
that didn't satisfy-nothing would. They
had made up their minds to object, and
they objected. They were not slow in
discovering that the sentiment of the
meeting was overwhelmingly in favor of
erecting a hall which shall be credit to
the new CITY.

THE SCHOOL ELEcTIoM.-PurSuan to
call the annual election to fill the vacan-
cies in the school board was held on Sat-
urday last. The directors whose term
expired were L. Kells and Jas. A. Norris.
There was, for some reason not explained,
a disposition to srpercede these two ex-
cellent and efficient directors, and very
large vote was cast-.large only by com.
parison with previous years, when the
vote has rarely reached ffty-122 voting.
Messrs. Lamb and Pendergast presided
at the polling place in the school build
ing. The following was the result:

1t is to be expected that kickers will
develop against any enterprise in which
they discern no personal glory or profit.
but it is not a pleasant sight to witness
men of property, who ought to have the
interests of the community at heart, op-
posing every enterprise which promises
permanent improvement of the city. The
figures will show that city hall will be
profitable, as it certainly would prove
a desirable investment. A responsible
business man stands ready to pay $500
a year for the hall alone, and when 800
now paid in rents are added. it shows a
profit at once, for the bonds have been
bid for at par at five and half per cent.
making the interest account only $3.50
