oAkEsDALE IN A DILEMMA.

Has I've Sets Of Regularly Else4oa
City Omciais.
OAKEspALE. April 2-ISpecial. 1.-The re-
cent decision Of the supreme court in the
case of the town Of Pullman, by which the
incorporation of that town Was declared to
be legal, has placed Oakesdale in queer
predicament. BY this decision the cor
poration of Oakesdaie was also legal and
a. the term of the officers of the old cor
poration does not expire until December
il gives this city two sets Of officers. The
recently elected mayor and councilmen
had held meeting, organized and elected
officers. The Silver Federation seems to
have controlled the recent election and
three OF the i've councilmen are members
of that secret order, although this was not
known until after they were elected. In
accordance with the doctrine Of that order,
which is only an auxiliary Of the Peoples
party. ali improvements were to be
stopped. William Mcdonald. an ex-
preacher and member of the Peoples
party. was elected city attorney and he,
having q grievance against the local paper,
q Republican organ, ordered all notices OF
the passage of ordinances and other city
printing to be posted on the street corners
instead Of being published in the paper.
No improvements were to be made by the
Populist council the bonds voted for
water-xorks we're supposed to be invalid
and the new council had declared itself
against water works despite the fact that
eighteen disastrous fires have occurred in
0akesdale in less than twenty month";
When the people had about given un
hope Of escaping from this state of affairs
the decision above mentioned was rendered
and Oakesdaie went wild. A brass band
was brought forth and the main streets
were crowded by hundreds of the best
citizens, who cheersd themselves hoarse.
At this iuncture the Populist attorney and
three of the councilmen were seen on the
streets and hooted and jeered until they
sought refuge in store.
The old city council Immediately called
. meeting and proceeded to reorSanixe and
take steps to again get possession of tho
affairs Of the town. An injunction re-
straining the Populist council from acting
has been asked for and will undoub tedly
be granted, in which case the old council
will proceed to carry ont the many i'm
provements decided upon before they de-
cided that the town was not legally incor-
porated and an era of prosperity will IN
doubleday follow in place of disaster, ~
seemed evident when the Populists we're
supposed to have control.
