Superintendent of Buildings Strange, the
total amount of expenditure involved
being $122, 100. There have been many

have been issued for the construction of
buildings whose cost exceeded the am cunt
stated above, but never since Los An

The character of the buildings for
which permits were issued is no less re-
markable than the number. OF the total

sent the investment of large amounts of
money, these two being two-story brick

o'clock the funeral cortege started FOR tho
cathedral. The attendance of mourners
and OF the general public was small,
owing to notice placarded detailing ao.
cusations levelled against tho deceased
and urging tho people not to take part in
the obsequies. Three hundred PAGES from
the house tho spot was reached where NJ.
Stambuloff fell by the daggers of the as.
sassins. The cortegc was held and M.
Petchoff, who was with the deceased
statesman when he was attacked and
who was himself wounded made a speech
to the assemblage.
His head and arm were wrapped with
bandages, whore he had been stabbed. In
an impassioned harangue no charged
the enemies of Bulgaria with the terrible
crime OF numbering the man to whom
the country owed her independence and
the prince his throne. Ho was still speak
ing when loud cry was raised: run

and tho crowd became frantic and made
a rush to escape, every one believing that
fighting had begun. Men and women
were trampled upon and the children
carrying wreaths In u part OF the pro
cession threw down the flowers and fed
screaming. A detachment OF gendarmes
rode up at a fast troJ with swords drawn.
Another moment their appearance in
creased the panic, but after awhile they
succeeded in restoring order.
The funeral train had hardly started
again when II second panic broke out,
causing another confusion which de-
cimated the ranks of the procession.
Wreaths were thrown away and trampled
under foot, while the bearers fed. Some
order was again re-established, the be-
draggled garlands were gathered up and
the cemetery was finally reached. Here
there was II shocking scene. The enc.

May was read, and on motion the same
was approved and ordered filed. Bonner.

for payment the following bills; O. J.
Purdy, S21; Geo. Bulge, $40, reduced
to $500. On motion of LHdd the re-
port OF the committee was accepted and
the clerk was instructed to draw warrants
in payment of the same.
Braman brought up the question of
having the annual representation done
ON the Denver lode. now used by the
city for dumping ground, stating that
Mr.. Louis Bergeron had applied to do
the work. After remarks by councilmen,
Braman moved that the subject
be referred to II committee who should
look into the matter and report at next
meeting. The Mayor appointed Ladd,
Redden and Bonner upon SAID special
committee.
Redden introduced IL resolution pro-
viding for the election of an alderman
for first ward to fill the vacancy caused
by the removal of T. Z. Healcy from
said ward. The resolution was carried
as appears elsewhere in this issue.
Mayor Sanford called attention to
certain needed Improvements on Rock
street, east of McAssey's residence, the
object being to open said Rock street
through to Main, according to the plat
of the town. Ladd and Braman favored
the change suggested by the mayor. On
motion of Bonner, duly seconded, the
street commissioner was ordered to make
the necessary improvement on Rock
street as suggested by the mayor.
This was a harmonious meeting. The
members of the council are on exceed
ingly cordial relations and it looks as if
the administration of present officers is
destined to be exceptionally free from
friction or petty bubbles. The election
of a councilman to fill the vacancy left
by the removal of Mr.. Healcy will be
left to the council in session as the law
provides.

supcrintcndcd by d. l.. s. Barker, and
found the prospects for the works very
bright. They are working II men at
present and taking out some very fine
ore. They will ship a car of ore soon.
The owners of this property have worked
it steadily for more than four years. gen.
orally employing forty to fifty men.
They have expended in that time about
$240,000 in development work, which the
mine has paid in shipments of its rich
ore. The fact Of its continuous run
during the hard times is remarkable for
u silver property, but the owners have
not yet realized anything from their in
vcstment.
The mine is looking better today than
it has for the past two years. There is
plenty of ground which has not been
touched and every indication goes to
prove that the ore lays below them, and
that they have only scratched the surface
of the pay streak.
Mr.. Barker is a good superintendent
and it is well assured that he IS devel-
oping a great mine out of which millions
will yet be made.
Mr.. Anderson is well known about
camp and co%ngratulates our people upon
their persistent perseverance and their
remarkable prospects.

That Empty Barrel.

Il got my furniture out of storage the
other day. said n New Yorker, land my
wife and l thought we would unpack the
china and brio a brac ourselves, instead of
paying 90 cents an hou to the storage
men to do it. The stuff was packed in
five barrels, one of which we noticed was
lighter han the rest.
"When we began to unpack that one, we
concluded that it must contain our most
fragile articles of vertu, for we first came
across a layer of excelsior and soft paper,
a foot in thickness. Below this was an
other layer, equally thick, and when we
had half unpacked the barrel and found
nothing but excelsior and soft paper we
knew not what to think.
I'VE were still more nabbergasted on
finding no china on removing the packing.
We, of course, concluded that our things
had been stolen and reproached ourselves
for our false economy in doing the unpack-
Ing ourselves, for it is a rule of the storage
concern we patronized not to pay for any
articles broken or missing unless its men
do the unpacking.
AS we missed nothing when the other
barrels had been u%npaoked, my wife cudg-
eled Her brains to explain the mystery.
She finally remembered that when we gave
uP housekeeping IA years ago, there was
a lot of excelsior left over when the china
had been packed. In a fit of economy she
poked 1t all in a superfluous barrel, which
was duly headed up and carted to the no.
tel where we spent the winter. 1t was
stored in the garnet without being un-
packed and last spring was sent to tho
storage warehouse.
we accordingly have paid not only
for the storage for min months of an
empty barrel, but for its carriage on three
different occasions-from the house to the
hotel, from the hotel to the storage ware
house and from the warehouse to where
we now live!'-New York Sun.

HOW to Keep Butter.

Most farmers do not make dairying a speciality. It Is only one of the various industries from which they derive their incomes The profits from three or four cows do not warrant the outlay for a complete equipment of modern imple- ments. The average farmer and his wife must make the most of pantrieS, pans and other dairy appliances at hand. Con sumers have learned that butter rapidly deteriorates if exposed to the air, hence small packages are called for. Butter is never so good as when used within one week from the time 1t leaves the churn. It possesses then a delicate aroma and a peculiar, indescribable flavor, which soon passes away and is never present thereafter; but butter properly made can be kept sweet and in good order for months.
 The surplus butter may be kept and marketed in winter, when prices are more remunerative. Get the butter in good condition as soon as possible after churning and pack it firmly in gallon or or five pounds are preferable. When the jars are bought ask the seller, as he marks the weight of each, to number them, so that a record of the amount of butter in each jar can be readily kept. Pack the jar level full, tie a round piece of strong, thick cloth over the top. and place it bottom side up into a new. large crock. Do not pack butter made at diff ferent times in the same jar, but store only those jars that can be filled at one churning. Make a strong brine, using all the salt the water will absorb adding to each gallon a teaspoonful of salt petre and a teacupful of granulated sugar. Scala the brine and skim it thoroughly.
 When cold strain through a wet thick cloth into the crock. Add more brine from time to time. to keep the jars coy- cred inches in depth. Tie thick cloth over the crock to protect from dust and over this place a wooden cover to ex- clude the light. Do not keep the crock on the cellar floor even if it is cement one, but on a platform, if possible, with slats underneath the crock to insure free circulation of air. This will prevent mold forming on the bottom of the crock. Ii must be sold as packed butter, but will bring a good price October is the best month in which t pack butter for winter home use. Several smaller crooks may be used in which to store the jars rather than use the large crock.
 To clean jars and crooks use bath of hot lime water, or strong hot soda water A simple method is given by salt manu- facturers for testing the purity of salt Take as many clear glass tumblers or goblets as there are samples of salt. Put into each the same quantity of clear, cold water Drop into each tumbler a teaspoonful of salt from one of the sev- eral samples and note the immediate re- suits. There will be scum, sediment, or milky color, varying with the in- feriority of the sample. The water show ing the least change will contain the purest salt-American Agriculturist.
