Clerk Messick Excused from Attending
to His Duties Last Evening Other
Business Transacted.
The regular weekly meeting Of City
Council was held last evening, with
President Benson in the chair.
While Clerk Messick was reading the
minutes, II was evident that he was so
much under the Influence of liquor as
to be unfit to attend to his duties, and
when he finally finished, President
Benson said:
81 must earnestly protest against
proceeding with the business of Coun-
Gil with tho present clerk in the chair,
Jas no is not in condition to attend
Ito business. You may transact the
business with him here, but ii you do
it will ho at your peril"
Mr.. Magee moved that the regular
order of business be suspended, and n
clerk chosen to take his place, but the
motion was not seconded.
Mr.. Cotton moved that Clerk Mes
sick be excused for the evening, and
Clerk of the Municipal Court Adams
motion was carried and Mr. Adams
took the place.
While these proceedings were going
on, Clerk MosslcN sat looking vacant
~ at President Benson and the mem
beers, and then, seeming to realize
what had been done, left his scat and
went out of the room.

The trunk is visible where the optic
nerve enters the eye and this expert
