on Monday evening last, Aldermen Coop
er and Parker being absent. A commun-
ication from the Mayor was read and
laid on the table, returning the resolu-
ton of the city council fixing the num-
Der of policeman at one, except in case
of emergencies. The Mayor takes the
position that the charter provides for
chief of police, while the municipal court
act requires special officer for the court
which makes necessary at least two
separate and distinct Offices, which differ
in manner Of election or appointment,
and qualification Of the incumbent.
These two Offices being created by sta
tute cannot either of them be abolished
or diminished by the city council. A far
Their objection is that at times our citi-
zens are entitled to better police protec-
ton than can be afforded them by one
man on the force, therefore dlsapprove
of said resolution"

ode to the banana Peel.
The street car had passed, but to cato!
it he reckoned,
So he ran like a. deer, and shouted ant
beckoned,
Till he planted his heel
On a smooth bit of peel
Then he saw half million of stars in
second.
He was in too great hurry; bette
have waited for another car. This bust
ness OF running after street cars is risky
and undignifed too. The safest and mos
comfortable mode of travel is by the reg
ular trains of a railroad, provided al
ways that you select such first clas
line as The Burlington Its traius leave
from and arrive at all the principal citie
and lows in the West promptly on time
and if your watch runs correctly, yo,
need never run to catch train. Its tim
system for the running Of the trains i
perfect, and its equipment of free reclin
ing chair cars, Pullman vestibuled sleep
ers. ard peerless dining cars, is un
equaied by any other line. For tickets
