the matter and decided what sidewalks
should be put down on North Main street.
There were three firms bidding, Bulls and
Smith, G. ". Sumption g. Son and Rich

Mccall moved that Wilson's bid OF 1870
for Bandera flag stone be accepted. An
amendment to this was offered to accept
the bid of Bulla aud Smith for Ft. Scott
flag stone at 1890. per square foot.
This called out the reasons for those
wanting flag stone on the ground that the
stone were easier removed i'll case improve
ever, precipitated the solution by neat
speech in which he said he had flag stone
put down before mis- residence and that at
the same time q neighbor had cement.
There is no change in the cement walk"
said he, "but my flag stone walk IS split
ting OIL" He also referred to the fact that
in other cities walks are not taken up to
put in water hut they are dug under. The
motion was then put and Bulla and Smith
received the contract
Two damage petitions were presented
one by James S. Campbell and Luther
Halves. These two claim that they
have been injured to the amount OF $780, 90
by the city placing dam across Chisholm
creek on Lawrence avenue and causing the
water of the creek to back upon their prop
erty. The other petition was made by
Jane r. Tremain tor $4,000. She states
that owing to a defective side walk on
Washington avenue she fell and perma-
nently injured herself:

TEMPERANCE MEETING.

Deputy Grand CHIEF Templar, W. w.
Andrews is in the city and will deliver a
temperance address at the Plymouth
Congregational church this. Tuesday,
evening, Chief Templar Andrews whole
soul is in this work, but he is neither
cranky nor impractical. Intemperance is
more of . disease contracted of habit ana
example than a crime of opportunity; aud
the hope of society aud consequent virtue
is in education. religious convictions and
character, in precept and social influence
rather than in criminal laws. The evil is
a thing to be abhorred and therefore shun-
ned, rather than a prohibition to be en-
forced with penalty. The virtue OF the
matter SIS in refraining from = sin which
destroys soul and body, that deadens as
pirations and ruins character, rather than
in lodging q miniou OF questionable
law aud Drawing a sentiment OF "thou
shalt not" Law never saved man in-
c.ined to drink, nor did penalty ever re-
from drunkard, while moral suasiou and
Christian precept and announcement have
reformed millions and saved millions
more from the first steps In temptation
whose last steps are a confirmed habit and
ruin. Go and hear a man VINO will preach
temperance for the sake OF temperance
and righteousness and not for politics, but
who is in no way responsible for the
thoughts expressed above
