CITY COUNCIL MEETING.

The city council held short session last
night and the members seemed to take
little interest in the work and one or two
were sick and some others had other fish
to cook" 1t went by common copcent to
make it a short session and all the money
on hand was given out to make Thanks
giving as pleasant as possible for those de-
pending largely on pay for city services
The work with very few exceptions was
confined to allowing bills. 1t had been
expected that the Jasperite contractors
would be present owing to a recent mes
sage, but they had not been heard from
since the special meeting of Thursday
night last.
THE PROCEEDINGS.
Members present Caswell. Carson
Schnitzler, johnson, Glaze, Martin, Nc
hee, with Mayor Clement presiding. The
city physician submitted report for the
month Of October, showing a rather
healthy city. Sixteenth estimate of citv
building $500, reported by Car
son, a member of the committee. This
makes S34, 900 paid out on the building.
Carson said the estimate was correct and
the mayor said it was not intended to allow
more than correct proportion. The esti-
mate was approved.
johnson announced he was sick and
wanted to leave as it would not disturb
the quorum. Coffin replied he wanted to
leave very soon owing to sickness in his
family. Caswell wanted to leave also and
1t was concluded to take up only more i'm
portant business in every department.
Bills on first reading referred to commit
tees and appropriation ordinance, passed.
The sixteenth estimate On city building
allowed, calling for $500. An internal
bond for $500 in favor of Lee
Hays was passed.
u. Nolch, a grading contractor, who had
completed job last June and had
not been paid for work, wanted interest

thought the request very proper one and
the city should pay interest on the debt.
He started motion TO that effect, which
prevailed
G. w. Sumption had also been want
ing money for some time on contracts
completed and asked for interest. On
motion of Glase referred to paving com.
mittee.
The Benevolent home offered to take
care of two-thirds of the city's sick for S75
per month, or all for 500 per month. The
is similar to the ST. Francis
and was referred to the special committee
on hospitals.
The vote of the city on bonds for the
Dakota, Wichita and Galveston was re-
ported, showing the proposition carried by
800 votes. The communication was from

THE FATHER or A HANDSOME GIRL IN A
FOOT-PAD ACT.


A well known young man, who often
calls on young lady on the West Side,
was given n thorough and everlasting
scare Sunday night. lie accompanied the
young lady home from church and on re
turning, when about two blocks west of
Seneca on Maple street, an individual
stepped out from behind tree and gave
the command halt in such a way that at
tracted his attention. The stranger was
distressingly near and the young man put
spurs to himself and in a moment was
plunging down a rough track. He never
left his feet and the stranger fired once
and then followed at a clever speed,
frequently giving the command halt, and
among other things, said, "have you got
any changer" The highly frightened
young man by this time was sure he VS.
likely to get into bad company and in
creased his efforts TO protect his reputa-
ton. In going block a great many
things happened among Others the
stranger had fired four times and of course
the young man simply outrun the bullets
or some lead would have been mixed up
with his kidneys. He kept up some sort
of a speed until he reached the east side
where he waived examination and rested
his case and frame witha policeman until he
was able to tell his story. He was quite
sure an effort had been made to give him a
dose Of foot pad medicine.
The latest developments of the situation
establish the fact that the father of the
young lady who has some notions unto
himself strikinEly peculiar has ISSUED
manifesto that created quite furry in
the family. One of its provisions has
something to say about the young man
referred to and insists that he shall not
darken the parlor door of his residence
The young man insists on casting his
shadow quite persiSteutly and the father
concluded to act foot pad by way OF
variety
