The Proceedings of the Council
Prove Interesting.
THE LIE is GIVEN WITH A VIM.
The City Hall Location Comes Up and
Causes a Racket-Sies Explodes

ports for Park.

The general impression prevailed all over
| the city yesterday that the proceedings OF
the council last night would prove TO be of
unusual interest and the city council room
was well filed some time before the council
was called to order. The matters that in
the public mind were of supreme import
! ance were the city hall. fine park. more
policemen and "a market house. The park
and the city hall questions divided chief
honorS. In the afternoon the committees
had been at work and the result was that
when City Secretary Burns took his seat
his table was covered with papers.
At ! 80 Mayor Smith said. Call the roll,
Mr. Secretary" and the call resulted in
finding all the aldermen but Mr.. White
present.
Secretary Burns then read the minutes
Of the preceding meeting, which reading
was listened TO by some, but others in
dulged in 4 constant whispering, discussing
various subjects, which talking was any
thing but agreeable 10 those who desired TO
hear. Al times Secretary Burns found it
necessary TO get his voice way up IN sc, IL
order to make himself heard. In reading
the minutes lengthy reports We're passed
over without reading, having been copied
from the original documents verbatim. The
reading Of the minutes consumed fifteen
minutes.
Alderman White entered during the read
ing OF the minutes.
BY this time the council chamber was
crowded, in the lobby being number of
prominent citizens who We're interested IL
matters under consideration.
At S:lJ the council got down TO its work.
Chairman Martin of the finance commit
tee asked for further time on work IN
their hands. 1t was granted.
The committee on claims then reported in
favor of paying claims from different funds.

Mcpherson Freeman; In spite of
hard times the people of Kansas are
paying off their debts. When q farm
er is out of debt and then lives within
his income he is the most independent
of all men. Encountered and harras-
sed with debt man loses independ-
ence of character and courage TO do.
The lessons people have learned will
not be forgotten in this generation.
The people who expected to hear
something interesting on the political
situation from Senator Plumb at the
y. w. Editorial Association last week
were disappointed. Mr.. Plumb, with
commendable wisdom and good taste,
confined himself to pleasant talk
about the newspaper business in Kan
sas, He retains the loyalty to the pro-
fessiOu which seems to BECOME part
of anyone WHO has ever been CONNECT
ed with it. His advice to Kansas edi-
tors was to keep the moral tone of
their papers high, avoid anything SEN
sational and Gull only the best, most
hopeful and most elevating news.

Park, Colorado, last summer. The
place is graphically illustrated from
photographs and is very Interesting

Yes, rejoiced that it was over, but
still was not entirely happy, for an
eleven-inch frecracker had exploded on
the rim of my ear, and became an eye

Still have my doubts about the peo-
pie of the north being more patriotic
than those of the south. Recently. sta.
tistics have been published which show
that more people have had their arms
and fingers blown off in tho south than
In tina north, which also goes TO prove
that the feeling against the British is
more intense in the south than has gsa=
orally been supposed.
Judging perhaps by the noise made
on the Fourth of July the thoughtless
observer might conclude that the south
was really less patriotic thsn the pprthi

ton that in Gotham frccrackers are
only three cents a pack, and pin wheels
cost only a cent apiece, whereas in
southern cities they are much more ex-

New York aaH afford to express their
detestation Of George III. and his min-
ions at comparatively trifling ex-

The high price of explosives in the

New Orleans, der instance, seeming to
be comparatively indifferent as TO which
side whipped in the great revolutionary
struggle. In New York, where cannon
crackers are almost given away, the
enthusiasm is so pronounced that rev.
