BRADsTREET's estimates that the
loss in the volume of trade and the
shrinkage of values under the Demo-
cratic administration is over ten bill
lion dollars. This would rather in
dictate that Mr.. A. t. Ankeny was
somewhere near right when he'assum
ed that the conditions which this
administration faces are as serious as
those which confronted Lincoln. They
are also similar in that they are OF
Democratic making.

DIS Ullc property OWnOIo hoiu uOuC lu-
jacent thereto. Referred to the
board of public works to ascertain the
cost of the same and report to the
council.
A crosswalk was ordered laid on the
westerly side of Front street, crossing
Rock.
Board Of public works was instruct
ed to ascertain the cost of running a
sewer along Fourth street to Rock, on
Rock from Fifth to Sixth streets.
The board of public works were
urged to report the Bierbauer sewer
Saturday night, but President Beatty
wanted until the next meeting to al
low him ample time.

council.
Three hundred and fifty dollars hav-

was ordered built at once.
The board of public works were re-
Quested to ascertain the amount of
land for sale by Mr.. Burminster, in
Guiding part of the mound at the

port at the next meeting.
The injudicious use of water during
the day time by some of our wealthy
citizens had been brought to the no.
tice of Alderman Bashaw, and he de-
manded of President Beatty the cause
for this. Mr.. Beatty stated that
special permits had been granted to
some by his predecessor, but that as
soon as possible he would ascertain if
the ordinance regulating the use OF
water was violated and if consumers
were found using more than the regu-
lation amount he would resort to eX-
IRENE measures, if necessary, to en-.
force the ordinance.
There are yet few voluntary sub
scribers toward grading the Silver ra-
vine road, who have failed to pay, and
upon motion of Alderman Pitcher,
City Attorney Young was instructed
to serve third notice on delinquents
to pay at once, preparatory to enforce
ment by law.
Bills on file with Clerk Brown
amounting to over $4,000 were read
and ordered paid.
Mayor Weaver stated to the council
that they had ordered bills paid, and
itwould be necessary to provide means
for their payment.
Upon motion of Alderman Fowler,
the committee on ways and means
was instructed to borrow $4,000 fol-
ten days to allow labor and other bills
to be paid. The motion was carried
with the understanding that upwards
of twenty thousand dollars would be
turned over to city by County Treas
urer Lloyd in few days.
The council adjourned to meet in
special session next Saturday evening

No Opposition.

Window Reporter:
There seems to be nowhere in the
Republican party of the district any
opposition to to the denomination of
Prof. McCleary. He has given the
district such faithful service that no
one cares to enter the field against
him and under the circumstances the
party will unquestionably renominate
him by reclamation.

Unlikely as it may seem to some who
read these lines, it is a fact, nevertheless,
that there is an island in the gulf Of Cali
fornia, not more than 90 miles from the
Mexican mainland, which is inhabited By
the remnants Of a race Of giant cannibals
This startling discovery was made by a ives,
coast naturalist early in 1891, and has since
been confirmed both By United States and
Mexican explorers. Mr.. Mcnamara, the
scientist referred to, has a photograph oil
one Of the men found by him on the island,
that individual, although not one Of the
largest. being over feet in height. The is
land upon which they were found is known
as the island or isle Of Leri, and the orig
inal discoverer says that there is every evi
dence Of cannibalism among them-St.

Mr.. W. L. Powell, treasurer Of tbs
Pennsylvania fish commission, sends an
account Of the depletion Of Maiden creek
by fishermen, who catch bushels Of
yearling black bass with small hooks.
A veteran angler fshed this stream re-
Gently with a fly rod, and in the course
OF day took sixty bass ranging from
~ to 8 inches in length. All Of
them were lip hooked and were lib
Grated alive. The creek was full Of
yearling bass during July, and news
paper accounts mentioned their capture
by the bushel by means Of hooks SC
small as to be readily swallowed by the
fish. The absence Of big bass even in
moderate numbers is notorious, but in
the light Of this information it is readily
explained.-Forest and Stream.
