THE CITY COUNCIL.

How three members showed
their prejudic against the
peoples party-The plans of
tho viaduct will not be
changed-The pound to be
moved into the city-The
Swartz liquor case and the
consolidation question-An
ordinance jerked through
with indecent haste.
The peoples party made another
and this time successful attempt
to get the use of the city hall one
night in each week for political
purposes. When the petition signed
by committee composed of ]. E.
Murphy, C. NJ. Pollard and f. p.
Clsh was read, ]. Z. Jones promptly
moved to table the request. ]. B.
Jones moved that it be granted and
a vote being taken on ]. BIS. motion
it stood thusly: For granting the
hall, Jones, ]. b., Kirk, Keltner,
Brennan and West. Against grant
ing the hail, Jones, ]. F., Panne-
baker and Hart. A number of
prominent third party men were
present and made a mental vote Of
the action.
The public works committee re-
ported that 1t had decided to make
no change in the plans of the
viaduct as formerly agreed upon,
which virtually excludes the pos
sibility Of the steel works from
furnishing the iron, and the report
was adopted.
Engineer Bland again dunned the
council for 1900. due him under
promise Of Mayor Shocky and AL
dermen Pannebaker and Hart, but
Pannebaker and Hart, but Panne-
baker said that Bland had not car
ried out his agreement and there
fore claim was not ordered paid.
The committee on streets and
bridges recommended the placing of
bridges on Pine and Rice streets,
and that the bridge on Northern
avenue be made the full width of
the avenue. The clerk was instruct
ed to so notify the Bessemer bridge
Co.
Alderman Keltner recommended
that the pound to be removed to the
corner of Summit avenue and
Spruce street. A vote was taken
which resulted in tie and decided
by the mayor voting in accordance
with the recommendation.
Druggist w. p. Swartz asked for
the remittance Of fine of $5s.75 i'm
posed upon him by the police mag
istrate as he had sold liquor only
for medicinal purposes. The matter
was referred to Attorney Low and
the police committee for investiga-
ton.
The report of the commissioners
on consolidation was read, adopted,
and the commissioners discharged.
The rules of the council were sus-
pended and an ordinance embody-
ing the sense of the report read twice
In quick succession and carried by a
unanimous vote of the council; so
every alderman is in favor Of con-
solidation. The council made re-
markably quick time, receiving
report, enacting 1t into an ordinance
which had been previously prepared
In anticipation Of what was coming,
reading the ordinance the first time,
placing it on its final passage and
declaring it passed all in less time
than it takes to allow the salaries of
the city officials which is certainly
rushing things.

"WIlereas."

"Whereas, The city of Pueblo con-
sisting of some $4,000 inhabitants,
and the city of Bessemer consisting
of some 10000 inhabitants, lie CON
tiguous to one another; and
Whereas, A majority of the said
cities of Pueblo and Bessemer have
for several years past desired and
do now desire that said cities shall
be united and consolidated under
one municipal government; and'-
etc.
These "whereas" astonishers are
extracts from the bill recently intro
duced in the senate by Mr.. Drake.
The gentleman is humorist. Dur
ing the campaign he. perpetrated
huge joke on an unsu.pecting peo-
pie by blooming into a punster, also.
He had the body of drake sur
mounted by his noble head stamped
on his cards which caused a laugh
to ripple down the Arkansas river,
but his friends said he would stop at
that; but he didn't. He has become
humorist and would be funny, in
deed, If he would not torture the
truth quite so much. There is only
one faint speck of truth in his
"whereas" articles and that is where
he makes the geographical assertion
that the cities of Pueblo and Besse-
mer are contiguous. The residents
of the said cities will bear testimony
to this fact; and, "whereas" Mr..
Drake has not disrobed his consoli-
datien idol of the last vestage of
truth those who dub him the modern
Annanias do him an injustice. He
is only western politician.

The citizens in the vicinity of
Summit avenue and Spruce street are
favored by the city council. A
small park will be located there and
citizens are apt to look upon the
action of the council as class legisla-

THE total tax IN Bessemer is fort,

THE total tax IN Bessemer is forty
one and quarter mills; in south
Pueblo it is forty-seven and aquar-
ter mills, and in north Pueblo fifty
and one-half mills. Would any
benefit you might receive from a
union with Pueblo offset the differ
ence in taxation? Think this over
seriously.

VANDALISM OR WHISKY.
"A Stuffed Grizzly Shot to Pieces Near
Los GatOs.

SAN JOSE. Aug. 1s.-The extensive
grounds around fine mansion near Los
Gatos, known as the Heuter place, owned
by a wealthy retired varnish m manufacturer
of San Francisco. was the scene of a pecu-
liar act of vandalism last evening. A large
stuffed grizzly bear that had for some time
reposed on a mammoth tree-stump in
honor Of the Native Sons, was shot almost
to pieces with buckshot from half dozen
guns. Mr.. Heuter. when informed of the
act, was very angry and is busy securing
the country after the perpetrators of the
outrage. 1t is thought to have been done
by lot of drunken campers in malicious
sport, or else in the dim light they might
have supposed that they had really run
across some big live game. The affair has
caused considerable amusement among the
disinterested.
