PHrLrpsBURa, Oct. T.-[Special. THE
Philipsburg city council met last Thursday
night and passed. an ordinance repeating
the ordinance providing for marshal, and
now we have no ordinance relating to the
marshal, but still have the marshal. Al
regular meeting Thursday night the mar
shal was informed that his Office no longer
existed and his services we're not required
and his salary up to date rendered, but he
refused to accept. To-day the marshal
notified the council that he was still mar
sbal and would not be removed until the
end of the year. The council have made
three attempts to remove Marshal Long
helm for cause. and failed every time, 80 as
last resort they abolished the Office. The
marshal says he will not be removed and
SO the matter stands.

better than the wild grasses. Vegetables of
all kinds are profitable to tho growers, as
this place and Granite give them good
market. The potatoes grown here are bet
ter than those that are shipped in.
