been spared by Mr.. Williams and his
assistants to make it so, and their aim
was accomplished. Good Accommodations
and music we're not lacking. The Mont.

need further mention. The first night
proved so successful, it was decided to
repeat the plays Saturday night, with a

already engaged. Music was furnished

City Council.

The Mayor let the hammer fall on
time, Monday evening. John Hire was
made clerk pro tenn.
Mayor Davis notified Council that the
city had been sued by Judge Ditty, as
receiver for the Citizens National, for
81, 100, the claim assigned to the bank
by the Gas and Electric Co. He said
the city must authorize an appearance
in the U. s. Court, at Cincinnati. Mayor
Davis and the City Solicitor we're in.
structed to look after the interests of
the city. In connection with this mat
ter Mr.. Pence suggested that the city
was entitled to reduction of 1925 on
that bill for certain failures to furnish
light.
Mr.. Ide, OF the New York Rubber
Manufacturing Co., was given the privi-
lege of the floor, and exhibited some
samples of fire engine hose which he
guaranteed to stand pressure of 300
pounds to the square inch, and last three
years He said with good usage the
hose would easily maintain its full util-
ity eight or ten years. The fire depart-
ment is in need of good hose, and or
dered 500 feet at 80 cents per foot.
Petitions for sidewalks from all parts
of the city were read, and the Solicitor
instructed to take the steps necessary to
secure their construction.
There was question as to the estab
lishment of grades. City Engineer Mas.
sic is in such ill health that he can not
get out, and it was said that Mr.. Duck
wall refused to act as his deputy. j
was a question whether Mr.. Duckwall
was deputy or not. Mr.. Foley insisted
that something should be done to in
cure the establishment of grades, with
out which no one could construct side
walks.
Ed. De Bruin had volunteered to es
tablish one of the grades in question
but, when other demands for such worl
came trooping in by the mile, Ed. didn'
renew his kind proposal.
After allowing the usual schedule o
bills, an ordinance was passed unde
suspension of the rules, defining tn
duties and compensation of the Stree
Commissioner.
The Solicitor was requested to prepar
an ordinance to transfer the duties c

On Sunday night the electric lights
went out aud the burglars went in.
It was discovered on Monday morning
that the grocery store of T. G. Waugh
ters and the notion store of j. @ Price
had been robbed. In the former, en-
trance was made through the cellar,
which was entered from the rear, and,
as near as Mr.. Vaughters can tell, the
articles taken were a pair of Shoes. a
caddy of tobacco, two Watches and a lot
of cigars.
At the Price store the thieves broke a
glass in a rear window, crawled in and
pulled down the front curtains, leaving
the lights burning full. Then they ram
sacked the show cases, taking a revolver

two gold rings worth 81 90, two chains

The Cleaners Cleaned.

There was terrific battle a few miles
from town the other day. Our reporter
describes il thus:
Bob Newman carries the mail from
Samantha or thereabouts some distance
northward.
Old man Whaley is poor old celored
invalid. Pete and Ed. Kilgore and Walt
Trimble started with their OK cart to cut
and haul the old man some wood. This
was an act of pure charity. Enroute
they met Bob Newman with the mail.
"Git out of the way with your id
old OK team shouted Newman.
"Turn out with yer mewl!" shouted
the darkies.
"Don't order me around - -
you !! shouted the mail carrier.
"Don't you order our oxen round,

irate darkies.

"Yoonited States O. hill" shouted
one of the mad darkeys. "You've got

Suiting the action to the word he
jumped to the road, seized Newman's
mule by the briddle and led it past their
own wagon.
All this time Newman was blistering
the air with profanity.
After the colored boys had cut and
hauled considerable wood for the ole
man, they were seated in the house al
dinner, when a voice summoned then
outside. There they were confronted by
Bob and Upp Newman, Arch Eaton ant
colored man who announced their in
