little Mollie Gunderson Of Mandan, lost
her limbs while playing in the railroad
yards. This statement does not do the
little girl justice, as the facts are she
lost her limbs while selling milk to the
passengers on the Northern Pacific
trains, while they stopped there a few
minutes each day, and she was not play

The City Council.
The city fathers held a busy session
Monday highland a number ofimportant
matters came up for consideration. The
first matter of interest which came up
for disposition was upon the approval Of
the minutes. Mr.. Reade moved that
that portion, relative to the granting of
permission to move a frame building
upon the vacant lot between the Central
and First National Bank blocks, be
stricken out, a he was assured that the
city had no power to grant any such per-
mission, as the lot was without the city
fire limits, and the city had no jurisdic-
ton in the matter. The motion was car
ried, and this part of the record was ex-
plunged. This rendered unnecessary the
veto of the mayor, which was upon the
clerks table, but it was read and re-
ceived at the request of the mayor, and
set forth the same reasons as were argued
in the expunging, and also, that the petit
ton of business men against the resolu-
ton was of weight, and should be con.

sented figures to show that in the first
week of sprinkling, he had received
s23.75 from subscriptions, and paid SIC
for water, leaving him $l3 for his work.
The matter was argued pro and con by
the council, and several motions were
made. n that the city pay for all of the
water, and this was lost. It was finally
agreed that the city pay s135 at the close
of the season, for water used during the
summer, and this motion was carried.
Another petition came up at this
juncture, signed by the majority of bust
ness men in the city, setting forth the
inadequacy of city revenue, and asking
the council to pass an ordinance, licens.
