to Nov. 1st, 1896, at $50 month, S143
was also laid aside and then taken up,

ing that no such contract for gather
ing the garbage had been made. Mr..

month, on trial. Other parties wanted
to gather garbage, and :the city was
divided as heretofore. The garbage
had been gathered in this way since
June without pay. Mr.. Long was
notified of the change, accepted t,and
was asked to present his bill for the
one month contracted for, but did not
do so.
The bill was referred to the COM

1T CAUSES A GOOD DEAL OF
TROUBLE.
The Council Charged With Paying
Two Men for Doing the Same
Work-DOne For Several 1OnthS-
An Ordinance Passed, Removing
the Four Mile an Hour Limit to
the Speed of Railway Trains In
the City-The Public SafeGuarded.

Alderman Peterson called the
council to order Saturday night in the
absence of Mayor Weaver and Vice
President Andrews. Aid. Bradley
was also absent. Both these alder.
men came in soon afterwards andAld.
Andrews presided during the meet
ing, although Mayor Weaver was
present the latter half.
A remonstrance against the petit
tion for an alley between blocks two
and three, Cummings addition, and
the C.,,M. & St. Paul railway track
was received and referred to the
street committee. 1t alleges that the
alley is not needed, and the property
owners do not want it in the rear of
their lots.
Applications for liquor licenses were
received from Powell & Conrad and j.
J. Gould, and Dec. 9Th was set as. the
date for hearing.
On a favorable report from the COM
mittee on licenses, a liquor license
was ordered granted to Joseph Stahl,
upon the payment of $1,000 into the
city treasury. His bond was also ap'
proved, the bondsmen being S. Zim'
norman and Henry Fricke.
The October report of the city
treasurer, as already published in
these columns was ready
The chief of police reported fifteen
arrests and eleven dodgers during
October.
The receipts of the municipal court
during October were stated to be
$104.60.
The board of public works presented
report relative to the opening of a
connection between Poplar street
and Mound avenue through blocks
five and six in Cummings addition,
that the connection is made absolute
ly necessary by the building of the
Omaha railway through the addition,
and that part if not all of the ex-
penses should be paid by the railroad.
The expense is estimated at 5000, and
the land to be assessed is not benefit
ed to the extent of any damages.
Attorney Cray and EngineerHaynes
explained the matter, the connection
being desirable for both the city and
the railroad. The only question was
who should pay the 5000.
On motion of Aid. Zimmerman the
report was laid on the table and Mr..
Cray was asked to aconfer with the
company and ask it to pay the 5000,
which will have to be paid to the
owners of the land to be used in MAX
ing the connection. Mr.. Cray con-
sented to do this.
Engineer Haynes presented a pro-
file of Adams street, and said that it
was necessary to improve a bad place
IN the road. The profile was adopted.

Railway Speed Ordinance.

Aid. Andrews said that before the
next council meeting the Omaha road
would be regularly running trains
over it's new track through the city.
The road desired that the ordinance
regulating the rate of speed of trains
through the city be modified. He
then presented an amendment to the
ordinance changing the rate of speed
from four to six miles an hour, the re
duced speed only to apply over or up
on Pike, Poplar or Front streets. 1t
shall be the duty of every railway
company whose track or tracks shall
cross Main or Rock street to provide
at such street crossings proper gates
with a competent person to operate
the same, or to station at such street
crossings persons to give timely warn
ing.
Mr.. Cray explained why the change
was desired and how the interests of
the public are safeguarded. He
thought that if trains could run fas-
ter at other places in this city there
would be less danger of accidents
from boys trying to catch on.
On motion of Aid. Andrews, the
ordinance was referred to the com
mittee on ordinances with instruction
to report at the meeting. The ordi-
nance committee retired to consider
the ordinance. The committee re.
ported favorably, with the addition OF
Elm and Washington streets to the
list for fiagmen or gates and the
placing of fiagman at the crossing at
SibleY park main entrance from goo
a. m. to 900 p; m. during the six
months each year commencing May
LIST. Mr.. Cray accepted the two
amendments. The rules were sus-
pended and the ordinance passed its
first and second readings and was
enacted, no opposition being made.
Gen. Pope appeared before the
council and spoke on behalf of the
public library, saying that there is
only one coal stove fer the five rooms

He suggested that steam be piped
across the alley from the city hall
steam heating plant. Some of the ex-
pense could be borne from the library
fund. The building can be leased for
term of years at a favorable rental.
The matter was referred to the COM
mittee on city property.

Stuck to His Principles.

In Kentucky it is necessary for a
voter TO pay poll tax Of So in order
to be allowed to vote. This necessi-
tates a campaign fund in both parties,
in order to enfranchise such voters as
cannot pay the tax.
At Mount Sterling an old man came
in and the manager of the Republican
campaign asked him if he had voted.
"No; hain't got my poll tax paid
yet" was the reply. Two dollars was
given to him and he started for the
Collectors Office. On the way he met
the Democratic candidate.
"Voted yet7" inquired the poll
ticisn.
''No; hain't paid the poll tax"
The candidate produced So and the
old man went, paid his poll tax, re
turned and voted.
"Well, you voted right, did you p
inquired the Republican.

TAE READINGS BIG TUNNEL.
II Will Shorten the Distance TO Philadelphia
About Twenty Five Miles.

A force of Philadelphia and Read
ing engineers have been at work near
Fountain Springs, two miles from
Ashland, locating spot for the be-
ginning of tunnel to be driven from
that point through the Broad Noun
tain to Mine Hill Gap, three miles.
The tunnel will shorten the Reading
companys line from Williamsport to
Philadelphia by IS miles, evading all
the steep grades and doing away with
the Mahanoy and Gorden planes,
over which coal is now being hauled.
The tunnel is to cost $500, 900,
and it will take at least two years to
drive it. The Reading route from
Shamokin to Tamaqua has numerous
grades which have frequently been
the scenes of disastrous wrecks. The
line will be constructed by the way Of
the Tunnel Collery Side Hill to the
beginning Of the tunnel, which is to
be for double tracks and II feet high.
The tunnel will be driven from both
the eastern and western termini, the
former being located at Mine Hill
Gap.
The eastern approach will be via
Minersville, mile to the mouth of
the tunnel. When the tunnel is com,
pleted it will do away with the ne
cessity of running through trains by
circuitous route via. Mahanoy City
and Tamaqua, all going by way of
Mine Hill Gap and Minersville,
thence to Port Clinton on the Mine
Hill branch of the Philadelphia and
Reading, saving IS miles additional.
Local traffic, however, will be carried
over the old line.
The proposed tunnel will be
second in size in America only to the
Hoosac tunnel.

FROM WIRE TO TYPE.
A New Improvement that is Proposed in
Typesetting.

The general public has but faint
idea of the strides that are making
toward perfection in matters electric,
telegraphic and mechanic, says the
Jersey City ./0wnaL When typeset
ting machines were invented it was
thought there could be no further
improvement in that direction. 1t
remained, however, for clever young
man in Brooklyn, N Y, to demon
strate the practicabllity of using the
typesetting machine in connection
with telagraphy. About three years
ago it occurred to Frank J. Kihm,
special telegraph operator of the
Brooklyn Eagle, that it would be pos
ible to set in type the telagraphic
news sent over the Association Press
wires. Hundreds of operators are
copying kilograms with the aid of type
writer's, and Mr. Kihm decided that
with extra care and expertness type
setting machine could also be used
with fair success.
The editor of the Eagle at once
placed type-setting machine at the
operators disposal, and after some
weeks of practice the telegraph wire
of the Associated Press was extended
to the composing room, and Mr. Kihm
proceeded to demonstrate the prac-
ticabilty of his idea. AS the operator
in the New York Office of the news
association clicks off the dots and
dashes they are simultaneously repro
duced by the giant telegraph sounder
at Mr.. Kihm's type-setting machine.
AS the different letters come over the
wire Mr.. Kihm touches the same let
ter on the keyboard Of the machine,
and instantly there is formed metal
letter corresponding with the letter
transmitted over the wire. When a
whole word has been formed Mr.. Kim
touches the blank space button and a
space block of metal drops down into
place. Then another line is set ir
type, and so it goes.
So expert has Mr.. Kihm became
that he runs the machine with snrpris
ing speed, and with very few typo
graphical errors. He is the only tele
graph operator in the world who re-
ceives the news by ear and runs a
type-setting machine with his finger:
at the same time.

To Keep Flies off the Cows

According to the Dallas Post this
is the way Trucksville milk man
helps his cattle in fly time. He takes
one gallon of cheap black oil, one
ounce of crude carbolic acid and one
ounce of oil of tar. These he mixes
together and rubs on his cows backs
and legs where the flies "most do
congregate" Six quarts Of the mix
ture will annoint his seventy COWS and
last four days. The cost is perhaps a
shilling a day and the increased
quantity of milk he gets is worth al
least two dollars day to him. Rea
goodness pays in this instance as n
all others.
