| riemb.rs were present and President
| Wilbur In the chair. At the hour pamed
the ch1mber VAS filled with an anxious
crowd to hear the investigation of Special
| Liquor Officer Pollard. The matter of
moving the LIMERICK stone crusher,
which was a bone 'of contention among
the residents of that locality, brought
out goodly number also, but their
trouble was not aired, as the angel of
peace spread Its wings over the troubled
farmers and quiet secret session was
held which smoothed matters. Council
man Comstock, wbo represents that part
OF the town, said that all differences had
been amicabiy settled and that ended that
part Of the anticipated circus. A large
number OF bills were ordered paid, as
usual.
James Kennedy was appointed special
| constable.
| Holy Trinity yparishioners we're granted
J permit to hold an entertainment Thanks
given evening wit hout a license.
Fred Desi'etts was appointed Q super
visor at district No. 1 In place OF Joseph
Turvine, who declined to serve.

the next meeting, and the Council ad-

for the purpose of making the finsl can

| As Usual . Farce.
In these columns a few days ago It was
mentioned that the Investigation OF GER
tain liquor officers would be- q farce, and
known In yesterdays Council meeting.
Mr.. Pollard was aut horized to appear be-
fore the Council and show cause why he
did not do his duty. Councilman Smith,
who made the motion, intended that 1t
should be held at the regular meeting OF
yesterday, but from the work Of the
Council as a whole they "winked the
other eye" to the public, and as hereto
fore, under the management of Republi-
can Town Councils of Lincoln, some OF
the most disgraceful work ever enacted
In the town has been conducted In inves-
tigations Three invest igstions can be
recalled which, regarding verdicts rem
dercd, were a disgrace to any seven men
| acting az town fathers. II was under
stood fact that the investigation OF Pol
lard was to have been held Yesterday, but
to cover up that which would not sound
we'll In print another trick was played
upon the taxpayers who pay the "specials"
for no work per rformed, snd a hearing
was given Liquor Officer Pollard at
Saylesville Thursday last upon the Coun-
ellis visit there as Board OF Canvassers.
Some of the Council say the two hours
session was an exceedingly stormy one
and the report OF the II cases was farce.
| Pollard gave the usual lame excuse of not
having sufficient evidence, but at the
same time he displayed the check enough
| TO want the Council to back him up on a
| windy excursion which one Councilman
estimates would cost the town 81 900.
However, he did not escape some i'm.
| portant advice from one member OF the
| Council who 4, always ready TO spesk his
mind. Another officdr sq1eaIs. Ito Is
No. 2 ano Is none othor than Liquor Of-
ccr Gercron, wlo appeared bsioro tne
| Council and request.d a herring upon
statements made By Town Sergeant

Western "trip and wiling to face the
music, Gendron now squesls. Monday
| afternoon he met Councilman Schiller,
and informed him that he did not want a
hearing and would not appear before the
Council. In his case comment is un-
necessary.

Last nights mail brought to many
business men circulars from the "green
goods" men who no doubt thought some
"iay" might be "pulled on" The letters
contained a lengthy con fdential circular
explaining the sale Of q, 900 for $500, etc,
etc. A smaller circular gave the password
and number for kilograms only, and the
address Of J. A. Bell, 2s3 West i23d street,
New York city. The usual newspaper
clipping which has become a "chest Tut"
accompanies the circulars. AS far as
known Mr.. Bell will have to 20 farther
than this locality TO scoop In much
money.
