There was not very large crowd in
the city at the stock sales Saturday.
The rain came down steadily nearly all
day long. There were not many first
class horses offered. Outside of the
Colorado lot only three horses were
sold. Mr.. Stuart bought seven mules at
an average OF $40 per head. The three
horses sold at $50 per head. Thirteen
OF the Colorado horses sold at prices
ranging from Sl7 to $S5. There was
about the same side show of animated
skeletons in Trade alley. This was
their last chance in Hillsboro, as there
will be an ordinance forbidding that
class of jockeying before next stock
sale.

Now, that the excitement of the cam
paign is about over, let's all turn our at
tention to wha, can be done for the best
interests OF our town. Hillsboro, with
all of its natural and acquired advan-
tages, with its material wealth, and its
citizens with brain and enterprise, can
be made more important point than
it is, if everybody's shoulder goes to the
wheel. Can't some one suggest prac.
tical plan, and let us unite for "long
pull, strong pull, and pull all to-
gether?"

Our city seems destined to suffer a
dearth of entertainments this winter be-
cause of lack of proper hall facilities.
1t is seldom town of this size is 30
poorly provided in this respect. Will
mington has recently completed fine
and commodious opera house. Why
not consider this matter seriously
Something should be done, and there's
the enterprise here to do it. ii there was
the will. Hillsboro has as appreciative
and cultured people as any town in
the State and there is no good reason
why ample facilities for first class public
entertainments should not be provided.

We are sorry to learn from reports be-
ing circulated in the southern part of
this county that the editor of this paper
has been on a glorious drunk and was
locked up in the city cooler few nights
ago. We insert this report as matter
of news to our wife, who has always
considered us perfectly sober 1t is un.
fortunate for her that she has such a
companion. But, if it's a fact, she
ought to know it, and we never let a
news item like that slip by. Next time
we get on a roaring drunk, we hope our
Democratic friends from the southern
townships will drop around and take
something with US, tn do them good.

few days ago, Chancey M. Depew said:
'Fame is the result of being civil to

some ambitious men who sometimes
think they do not even owe newspaper
men common courtesy.

tened to public reading by Miss Lilly
Ayres. This lasted about an hour, ant
the fair entertainer acquitted hersel
nobly. At the close of these exercises
the august body settled down to bust
ness.
Prof E. G. Smith, of the Ninth ward
occupied the chair, and Ellis Pence, OF
the Gospel precinct, wore the honors OF
the clerkship pro tenn.
There was formidable schedule OF
bills, about one or two of which some
question arose. The rest we're allowed
on approval of the respective com.
mittees.
There was some question as to an
agreement of the gas works to furnish
lights for the city building free of cost,
and that portion of their bill which re-
ferred to part of the lights in question
was reserved for further consideration
by the committee on light.
A bill of $25 was presented by Mr.,
Evans for damage to his premises by
the sinking of test we'll for the water
works. Mr.. Pence thought the claim
too large. Mr.. Hire didn't propose to
say it was exhorbitant, but thought il
should be referred to a committee.
Messrs. Hire, Pence and MCGUIRE we're
appointed to confer with Mr.. Evans.
The reports Of the Mayor and Street
Commissioner were read and accepted
A new phase in the water works con.
struction was suggested by Engineer
Moler. In replying to query by Mr.
Pence as to why the trenches for the
water works were not put closer to the
gutter on Walnut street he said there
we're streets where the water works
mains were placed by the plat on the
| same side of the streets as the gas
mains. He had been notified by the
Gas Company that they would immedi
ately enjoin the laying of water pipes
on their right of way, or in such prox
unity as to endanger the gas mains by
blasting.
1t was suggested that in such cases
| the water mains should be laid on the
opposite side of the street. Prof. Smith
advised consultation with the city's at
torney's before such change was or
dered, since it might be such variation
from the specifications Of the origina
contract as would release the bondsmer
of the engineering company. Mr.. d. Q
Morrow entered at this juncture, and
in the absence OF the city solicitor, wal
asked for an opinion. He said it woult
require investigation, as the question
was one he had never considered before
He thought, however, at first blush
that it would hardly be safe to maxi
such material departure from th'
specifications. The street committee
in conjunction with the engineer AM
attorneys, were instructed to investigat
the matter and report at next meeting
Mr.. Pence was thunderstruck to fn'
that his resolution requiring new side
walks from West street to the B. q
depot had been rescinded by the Coun
Gil during his absence, some week
ago, on the ground that one or two Q
the pavements included were already u
to legal requirements. He announce
his purpose TO have the needed improve
ments made if it bursted suspende,
There are some miserable sidewalks i
that locality, and Mr. Pence thinks the
are not only a detriment to pedestr
anism, but create bad impression upo
strangers who visit our city.
Adjourned until Thursday evening.
