Concessions.

Adopted.
CRAWFISH.

ChAMflSh.
Mr.. Roberts informed the council that
he had been negotiating with Mr.. Berg
man on the treasurership question, and
believed that the records OF the treas
urer's Office could be secured for Mr..
Kelley without trouble. He moved that
the finance committee be authorized and
directed to examine and auditthe accounts
and books of Mr.. Bergman, and report to
the council thereon"
Mr.. Hebard objected. The motion
vested a power in the finance committee
which it already enjoyed. He maintained
that evcn what Mr.. Roberts called a
slight concession" should come from the
other side. Then Mr.. Bergman should
make the request to the council. In that
case he would endorse the process.
Mr.. Hunt held hat it was policy to
effect an amicable settlement of the affair.
Messrs. Altman and jerks spoke in
favor of Mr.. Roberts motion, saying that
the people, of their rights should receive
some consideration In the premises, and
MIR. Altman declaring that Mr.. Bergman
was entitled to the courtesy proposed in
the motion.
MI. Hunt offered this substitute, drawn
by the city attorney: That the finance
committee be authorized to examine and
check over the books and accounts oil
Isaac Bergman as city treasurer, and ar
range a settlement with him, and report
the same to the city council"
There were no negatives on the ques.
vote.

There is not a single attainment worthy
the name that is not gained by the earn est
effort and application of the person who
strives to possess it. Our life has been
likened to ladder. the top round of which
many find it hard to reach. Some in their
eagerness to attain great heights overlook
the difficulties in the way. The person
who thinks Of taking short road to tort
une would do we'll to write down the names
of dozen of our richest men, and he will
find that the largest part of the wealth of
the Astors, Vanderbilts and many others
was accumulated after they had passed
their tiftieth year.
Climbing by branches, although the only
safe way to climb, is often slow work. We
hear skilled musician play selection
from Mozart, or one of BeethOven'S SOnatas,
and we are charmed. But how many of us
ever stop to consider the constant practice
necessary to impart to the piece its delight
full expression and to the finger their delicate
touch? Or we gaze enraptured at beau
tiful painting, but seldom think of the
hours of resOlute. patient effort required to
attain such excellence. Then again, there
are those who see nothing but difficulties
before them, and becoming disheartened,
relapse into idleneSs.
We must expect failures and disappoint-
ments. The price of success is paid in
trials and often in tears. Those who
would climb to eminence must often grasp
thorny branches. Not truth has been
given to art or science but brows
ached and toiled while striving for it.

Prohibition in Kansas.

A gentleman interested in the Kansas
State Reformatory now in process of con-
struction says in a letter to the Superin-
tendent of this institution: 1.-The work has
been going Oh rather slowly, on account of
small appropriations. Last winter the leg
islature came near abandoning the scheme
on account of the fact that the number of
criminals is decreasing all the time in this
state; prohibitionists claim credit for
this. Our jails are empty in some
towns and a prominent steel Jail
builder told me not long since
that he was going to leave the state because
prohibition had broken up his business.
This may look to you like an argument for
prohibition. However, if the people of
this state would vote as they drink it
wouldn't be three days until we would
have saloons again. THE Summary, FL

THE astronomers and physical sci
entists have been investigating the
causes of the late haziness of the at
mosphere and have concluded that
the natural vapors of the atmosphere
and not smoke have caused the pecu-
Iior appearance so noticeable the last
days of July and the first days of Au-
gust. Nothing but vapOr, American
gas cooled by passing over clusters of
icebergs in the Atlantic rising and
obscuring the suns rays. Nothing
dangerous about it unless one should
happen along where this condensation
is being forced and get an ice brick on
the head, like the European herds
men who had their sheep killed and
two of their children's skulls cracked
by chunks of ice, called hail stones,

pounds each.
