members OF the city council to keep
them from putting mp their big tent in
which they propose to hold series OF
meetings commencing Saturday evening.
They claim that the council, which is
purely Republican. is endeavoring to
keep them from putting up their tent
anywhere near the business center for
fear OF interfering with Republican
meetings. The fire limit ordinance was
sprung on the Populists when they
made application to be allowed to erect
a tent 40x60 on he cor .tr of Fair Oaks
and Kansas, directly nortu of the Woos-
ter block, and one after another the
coupcilmen seen today on the fire and
water committee refused to allow them
to put up the tent. They claim, and
with much reason, that if the fire ordi-
nance is to be strictly enforced that the
Republican wigwam, constructed OF
boards stood on end and adjoining one
OF the best blocks in town, should not
have heen allowed to 90 up. The lot
selected by the Populists has street
on two sides and the tent would not ap.
prosch any building nearer than so feet,
whereas the wigwam has for it's two
sides adjoining blocks. 1t was current
ly reported that Councilman Cox had
given ss q reason for refusing the per-
init, that the Populists had endeavored
to break up Republican meeting the
other evening by stationing q man on
the corner. with q black board and loud
voice. Mr.. Cox denied the accusation
when interviewed by the HERALD repor-
ter this afternoon, stating that he did
- a.
then help to break them by allowing
tents to go up in the fire limits. The
Populsts are now endeavoring to secure
the vacant ground on the northwest
corner of Colorado street and DeLacy,
which is not as central as the first locs-
tion selected.
SCHOOL MATTERS.
Affairs are moving along as we'll as
can be expected in our public schools,
considering their oyer.crowded condi-
tion. 1t is, however. next to impos-
eible to do even fair work in many of
the classes, owing to the number of
students which one teacher is obliged
to handle. This is especially the case in
the lower grades whore the crowding is
worst. Only halt day sessions are he
in many cases and the teachers fnd 1T
impossible to make the advancement ex-
pected OF them. The question of The
echool bonds and new buildings Ia etill
in state OF non-action, but it is prob.
able that come action will shortly be
taken. Mr.. Boynton has done all pos
Bible to bring the oond business to a
focus and have their legality psssed
upon.
1t ia the intention of the school trus-
"a to III of oif hap
the decision is received and ask for in
structions regarding .he matter.
There is considerable movement in
the northwest section OF the town look
ing towards securing q second building
in that locality. which is doubtless
needed This, il decided upon, will
necessitate bonds to the amount OF
$35. 900 or $4,000 to cover the expense
OF both buildings and land.
KEEP THE CUTTERS CLEAN.
The attention OF oitizsns generally is
called to the practice, which is quite
common, OF gradually filling up the
street cutters during the dry season
with waste matter of all kinds, in fact
making them a sort of convenient dump
ing ground. The habit 10 one which
should be stopped. and the street super
intendent is doing all in bis power to
bring the matter to the attention Of
property owners. The results OF filling
up the cutters become very apparent
after the first heavy rain. The water
comes rushing down, and finding it's
channel blocked up is forced out into
the road, cutting ditch along the street
and forming annoying mud holes. Dur
ing the past summer thousands oil dol
lars have been expended in regarding
streeta in this city, and it is but econo-
my 20 see that they are not torn up
again by the first good rain storm OF the
year. Keep the cutters open.
