BY an oversight, or from the fact that
there were two bands present from Sedg
wick City, one being the ladies' band and
the other the Sedgwick Clarinet band, the
latter band was not mentioned at all in
our regular report yesterday morning.
The Sedgwick Clarinet band accompanied
Z ? bo 49, -Trl- no --rrIr is
annoying one, but there being two brass
bands from the same town the mistake
was probably a natural one The Clarinet
band, Mr. q. +. Alexander leader, dis
coursed some very fine music during the
day, attracting the attention of every
body.
Hon. Thos. H. Hubbard, United States
supervisor of elections for all this section
of Kansas, who has been spending a couple
OF days in the city winding up his deputies
preparatory to business, called last even

Our reporter, in giving the result of the
findings and conclusions of the council
committee in the Coffin Doremus case, as
also the substance of the testimony taken
by the committee, and which facts he got
second-handed, not being present himself,
may have got his statement in different
light from what it will really appear in the
official report, which Will Toe made to the
council, the report, as appearing yesterday
morning, having been written up at late
hour of the night from an oral statement.
There was certainly no intention
to misrepresent the matter. But
the two last lines contain n seem
ing conclusion which we admit the
body of the article does not sustain. The
reporter says that the idea he intended TO
convey was that Collins action in the case
was not that of a trickster or black-leg
lawyer; but what he really did say was
that it was not lawyer like, " to which
Mr.. Coffin and his friends take exceptions,
and very naturally The EAGLE, above all
things, desires To be fair, open, honest and
above board in everything and with every
body 1t certainly would not wrong the
character or misrepresentthe action of any
citizen, either public or private.
