1t was graceful compliment to the
newly elected Mayor and City Coun-
ell, Monday night, for the Olympia
Cornet Band to greet their first slum-
bers with the sweet strains of music.
The STANDARD acknowledges with
thanks, this expression OF appreciation
of a service in which it OF necessity
feels considerable pride. The band
"boys" were RECALLED with oysters at
Capt. Doane's later on in the evening,
by representative of the new Coun-
Gil.
The city election, resulted in the
choice OF John F. Convey, the present
incumbent by unanimous vote. In
the First Ward the vote for Council
man stood, l. C. Ellis SO, and John
Miller Murphy 50, majority of 26 for
the latter. In the Second Ward, X.
&. O'Brien was elected without Oppo-
sition. The vote was consequently
small-27. In the Third Ward, Ed.
Hardness received 46 votes and Brad
w. Davis %, majority of 81 for the
former candidate. The Board stands
precisely as it did last year, the Mayor
and all the present Councilmen being
reelected.
DIR. A. H. Manner, of this county,
in letter to the Mining Reuiew,
published at Rock Hill, Mo-. con-
cludes with the following, which is
by no means overdrawn: "Well, l
want to tell you how many oats l
raised from four ounces OF seed sOwn
on high prairie land this year. The
clear oats weighed when thrashed 80
lbs. Beat it if you can. This is also
the finest country for Irish potatoes l
ever saw. l saw potato that weighed
Z lbs, and some of the largest pump
kins, squash and cabbage that l ever
saw any where, ON the market this
fall. As for health, l don't think this
country can be beaten in the world.
Our city shows less mortality than any
other in the United States"
Another treat is in store for our
people Saturday night. The Cakes
Swiss Bell Ringers and Comedy Sketch
Club will appear at Columbia Hall on
that date. Their performances are
entirely original, and therefore devoid
of that sameness which characterizes
majority of travelling troupes. John
and Alice Cakes and Frank Hollister
seem te be born musicians. They can
produce the most enhancing strains
from flute, harp and violin; the most
wonderful harmony from tumblers
partly filed with water; the most
charming melody from set of silver
bells; and the most grotesque. conf
cal, hilarious and wonderful chords
and discords from such unheard-oi
instruments as cow-bells, hand-bellows
sleigh-bells, dislocated organ pipes and
a pump-hute, to say nothing of the
occarina, China fiddle and hallolin

Mr.. w. S. Gale is canvassing fol
the introduction OF school char,
which is to the pupil what the man
ikin is to the medical student, a com
plete object-guide to an understand
ing of the elementary principles o
applied science. 1t is known al
Yaggy's Geographical Study" but thu
scope of the series of charts is much
more comprehensive than that titlt
would seem to imply. 1t embraces
not only maps descriptive of the phys
ical features OF the Earth, but moving
diagrams which illustrate the relative
size and movements of the planetary
system, and especially as affecting oul
orbs-producing change of seasons
length of days, etc. 1t seems to be al
invaluable aid for the teacher, who
will be enabled by it, without the use
of orery or tellurian, to illustrate nat
ural changes which it is exceedingly
difficult to impress upon the under
standing Of youth even OF mature
growth. This unsolicited endorse.
ment of the Study" is based solel,
upon what we conceive to be its just
merits, and we would be pleased to see
it introduced in our schools.
