New High School Plans
Adopted Last Night.

Lines Or Transfer Plans.
Charles Street is to BE Widened to
Sixty Feet.

Both branches OF the City Council met
last evening for the last time until August
and disposed of considerable old and new
business, besides leaving little to be
taken care of later. The Common Council
had the more TO do, SO rule 10 was sus-
pended for the evening in order TO save
time and not keep the Board waiting tor
concurrent matters.
One OF the principal reasons for the
meetings was TO take action on the new
High School plans, in order that the work
might be begun before fall. Two or three
other exceedingly interesting things came
up, chief among them being. the report OF
the Joint committee especially appointed
to examine into and report upon cross
town lines and transfer tickets. The
committee reported that it could do
nothing and was discharged. The reason
why nothing could be done is because the
railroad company has nothing to offer.

Everybody Was Quiet.

The recent Indian uprising in Wy, oming recalls to mind an incident of a similar uprising in Idaho back in the seventies.
 A report reached army headquarters that the Indians had swarmed down on little village and murdered every inhabitant. A second lieutenant who had just received his commission was dispatched to the scene to ascertain the authenticity of the rumor. A few hours after his arrivul in the village he sent this dispatch to the command ing officer.
 Every body is quiet here"
 Whereupon the commanding officer replied:
 Your report is unintelligible. We have it from responsible source that Indians have massacred every inhabi- taut."
 The lieutenant answered.:
 Report is correct. Everybody has been nsassacred. Everybody is quiet" IN. Y. Journal.
