THE CITY BONDS ARE SOLD
Purchased by the Washington
Improvement Co. for
$I87.5 Above Par
Report of the Special Commit
tee in the Matter of the
City Printing
Pictures of Defaulter Parker
and Descriptive Circulars
Ordered

The city council met in adjourned
session yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock
with Mayor Mckenzie presiding and
Councilmen Aubrey, Grifiia, King
horn, Ahern and Oeser present. The
minutes of the previous days session
were read and approved.
The report of the special committee
appointed to consider the bids submit
ted for the public printing by the HER
AID and Independent was read by Mr..
Kinghorn The report recommends
that i'm the matter Of the delinquent tax
list no action be taken. The report sets
forth that "the exhorbitant charge is no
doubt largely accounted for by the high
price of composition" and says further
| that Before the time of printing this
! list some reduction may be made in the
necessary expenses of issuing the list,
and it seems to us unwise to bind the
city under a contract at the high prices
now existingU The committee further
recommended that the contract forpub-
fishing the notices and ordinances be
awarded to the FaiThaven Publishing
company at the rates named in their
bid, and that job printing be ordered as
needed and purchased at the most tav-
orable price offered. The report was
adopted.
On recommendation Of Mr.. Aubrey
chairman of the committee on streets
and public property, the city engineer
was directed to establish the grade on
Fifteenth and Sixteenth streets between
Mill and Knox. -
The bids for the issue Of S75, 900 OF
general purpose municipal purpose
bonds, submitted at the previous day
session, were again read. Mr. Dickin'
son presented certified checks for $1,000
but Mr.. White did not, and the rgsolu
ton requiring the presentation OF 2ucl
checks before the consideration OF BIDS
was reconsidered and rescinded. Attel
considerable discussion the following
resolution was offered by Mr.. King
horn and adopted, Mr.. Griffin alOn'
voting i'm the negative:
"That a contract be drawn provld
ing that S25 900 be furnished within
thirty days from date that the baianc
of $50, 900 be furnished sixty days there
after that accrued interest be PAID b.
the purchasers up to date OF delivery q
bonds to them in bank, and that tn
the contract be awarded to the Wash
: ington Improvement company upol
their bid.U In the evening the counc
again met and a contract was executed

The New York Gerrymander

The gerrymander of New York State
by the Democrats, now in control Of the
legislature, is 50 manifestly unfair that
it will rouse the opposition Of all fair
minded citizens without reference to
party. On the basis of the last con
gressional vote twenty-one the thirty
four districts will be Democratic and
thirteen Republican. The average pop
ulation of the thirteen Republican dis
tricts is 1885, 900. The average popula-
ton of the twenty-one democratic dis
tricts is l72OOO. Two Republican dis
tricts of the interior-the twenty-siXth
and twenty-eighth- contain popu-
lations Of 100000 and 2l3,OOO, Irrespective.
lv. This discrepancy in population ex-
poses the most unjust specimen OF
gerrymander yet attempted.

Camping on Chautauqua.

Imagine one-horse wagon loaded with
boxes big and little, on top of these ar
ranged with comfortable seats seven eager
people from 3s to 2 years of age. All being
securely slowed away, quietly wo drove
out of the town of Warren at the refresh
ing hour of n. m. on Aug. 9th, bound for
Il jolly two weeks outing. Not peep was
heard from the "kids" aboard from their
slumber rudely waKened, and as far az
we know, only ono wakeful neighbor
viewed the procession. The moon being
at the full, the drive was pleasant and the
heat not at all oppressive till we reached
jamestown at 10 a. IN. Here after a
bountiful dinner the mother and childi en-
took train for our present location where
we all arrived in good spirits, and had a
floor laid and tent pitched in time to catch
mess of fish for supper. This is an ideal
camping ground and while ! write, heavi-
ly laden steamers 90 putting by and min
gled sounds of music and laughter come
floating to us on the breeze. The Chau-
tauqua Lake II. II. Station is at our door.
Bass fishing is good and the younkets
have lively times catching sun fish off the
dock. The bathing is excellent. A good
oil stove solves the cooking problem, and
the lake water is plenty warm enough to
wash dishes in, in case the fish are biting
freely. While l write fisherman brings
in a 5-lb. pickerel which he has just caught.
In my next 1 hope TO have some fish
stories to tell. All friends will he accord
ed a hearty welcome, with the under
standing that lodging in camp is at a
premium as we are already seven in a
bed, which allows one and five-sevenths
feet to a person, in width. Provisions
cheaper than at home, lake lies which
buzz but do not bite, free panorama on
the tent at night. Let all who love good
time go and do likewise. Y.

During a thunder storm near Cory

managers that they could be held legally
responsible for any loss by gambling on
the grounds.

The latest Chicago trick is to try to raise
money by hypothecating bogus deeds to
| property not owned by the party who
wishes to raise the money. A scheme OF
this kind was nipped in the bud last week
| by a shrewd man who declined to pur-
chase until he had traced the title, and
this frightened the seller, who has disap-
peared. What a happy time the Chicago
| people will have in skinning the stranger
within their gates during the World Fair!
A man will have to hire body guard to
get through safely.
Some of the newspapers throughout tho
country have been chuckling in glee over
the report that the donation of $500, 0OC
to the Worlds Fair was made without
any condition as to Sunday closing. They
laugh too quickly. The appropriation act
provides explicitly that "the said ex.
position shall not be open to the public on
the first day of the week, commonly called
Sunday" and if the appropriation Is ac-
cepted it is made the duty of tho National
Commission to make such rules as shall
close the exhibition on Sunday. That is
what the people have demanded and what
they propose to have.
