ance Cadets.
The official bond of E. Minor Smith as
City Assessor has been approved. II is in
the sum of $1,000 and the sureties are E. J.
Blanding, f. Louis and Adolph Schroeder.
Trustee Forderer has requested that an
ordinance be prepared providing for the
acceptance by the city of ali streets that
have been improved by order of the city.
The three new Trustees were elected on a
platform to accept such streets.
The controversy over the street nOmen-
clature has finally been settled. An ord-
nance was adopted by the Trustees on
Monday evening by which the numbers are
retained from First to Ninth (MCPherSOn)
street, and the old names are restored to the
other streets. This is a compromise and
gives as much satisfaction as compromise
usually does.

the police OF this city, and yesterday morn

road avenue will be improved, at least one
beClipu Vi H. i lie OdlliUAuld Improvement
Company has put IN BID 10 grade and
macadamlZe the avenue from ST. Charles to
Benton street. The Trustees, when they
decided 10 call for bids, divided the avenue
into three sections, and this is the middle
one. Owing to an omission In the proceed
ings the bid was not received, but 1t will be
presented again on Monday evening, when
the contract viii most likely be awarded
The impression prevails that if one section
Of the avenue is improved the other two Sec
lions Will also be improved.

Captain Atwood IS kouce more in command
Of Company q, Alameda Temperance Ca
diets. But ne will never even enter saloon
again, and he Will avoid the thrst-inspiTing
pretZel as he would a serpent. The We
mems Christian Temperance Union took a
mOIherly interest in the affair and as soon
as he was placed under arrest Colonel CHM
called a cOurt-martlal, which was held in
the Women's Christian Temperance Union
headquarters in this city. The members Of
the W. c. T. L. were present to see that the
soldiers of temperance behaved themselves,
and the court-martial proceeded very quietly
under its abundant matTonage. Somehow
no testimony could be found that would i'm
plicate Captain Atwood in any way, and the
following was adopted as the report of the
eOurt-martia:
