the WEEKS NEWS.

On Saturday last the mayor in
structed the marshal to have printed
notices conspicuOusly posted warning
all citizens that the COW ordinanc,
would be strictly enforced. On Mon
day three of the members of the coun
ell got together informally and advis
ed the mayor that in their opinion
the COW ordinance should not be en-
forced, and the notices previously
posted were accordingly taken down
and the cows have been running
sidewalks and breaking down gates
and despoiling lawns ever since. We
are not making kick, especially: but
as matter of law we wonder wheth
er bare majority of the council meet
ing informally on the street, NAV le
gally suspend the enforcement OF 9
city ordinance? Nobody doubts the
authority of the council at regular
meeting to repeal any ordinance; but
il does not occur to US that three ceun.
cilmen, outside of regular meeting
of the council, have any more author
ity to suspend the law than any Other
three citizens would have. On gen.
eral principles it would seem to be
safer to enforce a law until it was reg.
ularly and legally repealed.

About a month ago Chancellor
Snow sent circulars to all who had
obtained infected chinch bugs from
him during the summer. About 5000
of these circulars were sent out, but
of these only one-third have been re-
turned with the desired answers.
The Chancellor writes us that of IS
circulars sent to Allen county only
tlro have been returned as requested.
Every person to whom one of these
circulars was sent should fill out the
blanks and return to Prof. Snow at
once. 1t is necessary to have the Co
operation of every eXperimenter. If
full report from all parties is not
sent IN, Prof. Snow has no way of tel
ling the result of his seasons work
and cannot continue the experiments
intelligently. Without this informa-
ton from the field he would simply
be working in the dark. This is a
matter which interests not only Prof.
Snow but also the whole State. If
it ought to be known; and if it is a
failure, the knowledge of that fact is
equally desirable.

The complete list of all to whom
premiums were awarded at the lola
Fair appears on our last page, and
1ill be read with interest. 1t is a
matter of general regret that the Fair
Association did not make enough
mOhey to pay expenses; but every
premium offered has been, or will be,
paid in full just the same. We be-
lieve it is the unanimous wish of all
who are most interested, that the men
who managed the Fair this year
should undertake the management
again next year. They have proven
themselves the right men in the right
place, they have gained the conf
dence of the people, and the Fair next
year under their control could not
bslp being success.
= Yesterdays X. C. Times had a very
exciting dispatch from the new town
of Blackwell, where so many lola
people are located. The dispatch
says that a gang of tOughs rode
through the town Wednesday night
firing their revolvers in every direc-
ton. Fortunately no one was hurt,
but w. Nj. Knapp, of lola, had a most
narrow escape from death. He was
sleeping on a cot in the tent of Colonel
Whiting with his clothes rolled up
for pillow and was asleep. When
the shooting commenced he was
awakened by a bullet striking his
clothes. He diccoversd that there
were twenty-fOur holes in his suit of
clothes made by the bullet. The gang
made its escape
