platform where the president sat ell
throned and remarked sarcasticaIy:
Il want to thank you for showing to
the council that there is a man who can
be meaner as president than Ed Pot
ter"
The alderman felt vexed at being
sighted somewhatin the forming of the
committees. President Brazie certainly
did exercise rare discretion and show
| himself to be diplomat Of no mean
order in the appointment OF his
committees. He gave the chairman
ship of the fire committee back to
| Aid. Woodward, but cinched matters by
| putting Skoog, Adams and Harvey OH.
TO combat the energy of the alderman
| frum the Seventh and the phlegmatlc
disinterestedneSS of Schwartz. PreVl-
| Gus to his election as president. Aid.
BraZie, it is understood, promised Miner
| the chairWanship OF the railroad com
miltee, provided he would vote for him.
Instead he ignored Miner, leaving him
off the committee enterely, which all
goes to show that the ways OF statesmen
! are wondrous and passing strange. Fol
lowing is the list or council committees,

A more absurd affair than the arraign-
ment of the attachments OF the candi-
dates for street commissioner of the
Fourth ward by the TWO aldermen from
that section OF the city can scarcely be
imagined. IL was more laughable than
tarce-comedy, and Aids. Loye and
Adams presented themselves III the
light of very "cUmical comedians" Aid.
Adams first presented the name Of
H. E. Witherbee, and at the same
time cleared ms throat for a mighty
struggle. He read long Rienzi-like
address, and supplemented 1t by read
| ing dozen letters from ''citlZenS" OF
| the Fourth ward protesting against the
reappolntment of r. }. McMullen, also
a petition containing 400 names. Aid.
Adams spoke for nearly half an hour,
! and only SAT down when the fire gong in
| the hall rang loudly.
When Aid. Loye took the floor and
nominate Bob" McMullen, the alder
men were dumfounded to see him I'M
roll petition of forty-tive pages, con-
tanning ZOO names. Aid. Loye did not
| read all the names, but great many OF
| them. He gave an exposition OF the
duties and methods OF street commits
sioners, holding McMullen i'll the fore
as an example for Others of the kind To
| follow.
lie was guilty of lapsis lingui once in
| referring to the utensils and machinery
used by the commissioners. he said:
"When we bought our Fist street com
missionerS," meaning to say street
| sweeperS." He got IL hearty laugh and
| corrected himself His speech was a
long one, and during its deliveranc1 he
INDUCED in number Of personalities,
not at all pertinent to the subject under
discussion. The agony was finally ended
| by the announcement OF the vote taken
by the council. Wltherbee secured IL
| and McMullen 9, electing the former.
A communication from Superinten-
dent of Police Smith caused ripple of
laughter to float over the council cham
ber Supt. Smith stated that there was
in his department horse and carriage.
| He had no use for the outfit, and he de-
sired the council TO dispose OF it in
some way. The communication was re-
| ferred to the committee OH police. The
horse will be Sold and then, alas! there
will be no more opportunity to say or
write things euloglStlc OF Danny" and
his eX-guardian. The bonds OF the va
rlous city officers were approved and
| accepted. The following appointments
were also confirmed:
| Assistant city attorneys, l.. h. Dunn,
| W. Ii. Morse and NJ. ID. Purdy; assistant
| city clerk, E. j. SturtZel; city treasur-
er's employees, SeverL q. Siversen, teller.
| and r. A. Rashe, bookkeeper; assistant
meat inspector, Charles Tllbury.
The matter Of appointing poundmas-
ters caused a little discussion. Aid.
! Harvey asked that the matter be de-
ferred to the next meeting. He said
there was no need for SO many pound
masters and advocated the idea of
dividing the city into three districts and
employing one for each district. The
| city, he said, did not need seven pound
masters. They were drawing $500
each from the city, and last
$945. 1t was evident that there was not
sufficient work for so many poundmas-
tiers, for the policemen could help in
looking after strayed animals. Ga mo-
! ton of Aid. Haynes the matter was re-
| ferred to the committee on police with
instructions to report at the next meet
ing.
ated, and eX-Ald. Parry was appointed
to the position. Heretofore the inspec-
ton of bread has been left to the meat
inspector, but the charter provides for
the office, so Aid. Parry was given it as
| Sinecure.
