THE CITY COUNCIL.

At the regular monthly council meet
ing last night all the councilmen were
present except A. r. Thompson, who is
at the coast. Mayor Menefee presided.
The committee to whom was referred
the petition of ]. NJ Patterson that the
Nogt opera house be licensed So per

to granting it. The report was adopted.
The committee on fire and water re-
ported on the matter of placing a IRE
plug near the D. P. & A. \. warehouse
that it be not placed. Report adopted.
The reports of officers and bills we're
then read. Among the latter was a bill
from the city water works for 1852 for
seven months and $32 for one months
water rent, which were voted upon and
allowed separately. 1t seems that the
bill had not been presented for over
year, owing to request by the council
during the time the bonds were beirg g
sold. There was no objection to allow
ing the bill, Councilman Ross summing
up the sentiment of the council by say
ing, "It was like taking it out of one
pocket and putting it in another"

A protest from James McGinty against
dumping garbage near his premises was
referred to the marshal.
At this point the mayor said he un-
| derstood the firemen had request to
make and that it would be now in order
to listen to anything they had to say.
Mr.. Roger Sinnott responded by saying
that the department needed 500 feet of
racing tournament, yet since it was
needed, he should be glad if it could be
purchased in time for use at the tourna-
ment. Engineer Brown was called
upon for statement, and corroborated
Mr.. Sinnott, particularizing upon the
matter under discussion. The hose
which the city purchased last was not SO
good as the old hose. What was needed
was lighter weight hose, of greater re-
t sistance. and he recommended the pur-
chase of 500 feet of hose. a sample of
which had been received, costing 81 per
foot, which was lighter weight, but OF
greater resistance than the hose already
purchased. Mr.. Brown also favored the
purchase of some more suction hose for
the Jackson engine and said in case OF
fire none of the hose now in use was re.
liable. The matter was referred to the
committee on fire and water with power
to act.
The mayor again brought up the mat.

THE INSTITUTE.
Has Proved Very Helpful to the Teach
in Attend ance.


The cool weather the past two weeks
has been very favorable to the normal
institute work. Topics are assigned in
each branch for the following days
work, and those in attendance are kept
busy preparing for the coming recita-
ton. Those most ready to acknowledge
the opportunity the institute has afford
ed them to prepare for county and state
examinat tions, as well as better prepar-
ing them for the profession OF teaching,
are the ones in attendance.
Any person having received first,
second or third grade county certificate
in one county shall not be granted a
second paper of the same grade in any
county in the state, and said county cer
tifcates are good only in the county
where issued. A person having re-
ceived third grade county certificate
and going into another county to teach,
must pass the examination for the next
higher grade, namely, a second grade
certificate. It is expected that teachers
shall keep advancing in the grade of
certificates.
The above ruling of our state superin-
tendent proves that there is constantly
growing demand for more thorough and
efficient preparation on the part of our
teachers, and the best are sure to gain
the front ranks in the great profession.
1t is gratifying to know that the general
public appreciate the effort that teachers
are making along this line. Following
are the new names added to the register
yesterday and to-day: 1. H. Hill, Flor
ence Davis, Hester Rusk, Maud Peabody,
Nellie Hudson. Chas Elery, Dollie G.
Mosier. Dasie E. Allaway and Kate
Cooper.
Visitors present were, Mrs. DIR. Shack
elford, Mrs. j. w. Lewis, Mrs. Davis,
Mrs. Gilbert, Mrs. A. Henderson Miss
es Katie Sargent, Emma Ehrck, May
Elton, Lizzie Schooling, Sandrock and
| Minnie Ssndrock.
The topics taken up in the different
branches today are as follows:
Theory-Quali6catio of the teacher.
ysiology-Anatomy physiology and
care of the eye.

teristics of great men," The Fol-

TEACHING POINTS.

a. V. 1-2.-THE COMING OF THE WISE
MEN. The prospect of the Coming One
caused the wise men to rejoice and make
a long journey to behold the Child.
e. V. 3-S.-THE FRIGHT OF HERoD.
The same prospect caused guilty Herod to
tremble with dread. All good is turned
to evil, if the heart is evil. That Christ
was born in Bethlehem of old is fact OF
great historical significance yet the
Christ spirit born in our hearts is to us OF
far greater personal Importance. The

LESSON STORY.

The gift of Jesus to the world is the
browning testimony of Gods good will
to men.
How that gift was at first received
how it was at least partially appreciated
by certain wise men who came from the
far E 4st. while it was deprecated and
resisted by the Roman King,-is what
we are to learn and teach in today's les
son.

TIME.-B. G. 4. when Jesus was a
few months old. By miscalculation
made by the monk Dionysius Exiguus,
in the sixth century, the date OF the
birth of Jesus has been in the common
notation placed four years later than it
occurred. The year 1896 A. D., if cor
reeted would be 1900 A. D.
PLACES.-Jerusal the capital
of Judea, and Bethlehem, six miles at
the southeast.

GENERAL Y.-Mat-
thew, in giving account of the birth OF
Jesus, "brings into the foreground JOS

chooses those facts which best accord
with his purpose. In this chapter Mat
thew has grouped those events which
demonstrate the Messiahship of jesus.
The infant Saviour is recognized by rep
representatives. of the heather world in a
state of expectancy; judaism. with it's
better founded expectations, is hostile.
The visi of the magi excites the suspic-
ion of Herod; this suspicion leads to the
murder; the murder to the flight into
Egypt; and then to the return to Naza-
reth instead of Bethlehem. Science
(astrology) and history nature and reve-
lation all point to the future greatness
of the child. Prophecy directs whittier
the star leads; the magi meet the dead
orthodoxy of the Jews; the frightened
ruler would defend himself with the
sword against the born king of the
Jews; but the King is miraculously de.
livered. The visit of the magi is pro-
foundly significant; they we're the fore
runners of Gentle converts, and the
whole occurrence foreshadows the re-
ception given to the Gospel in apostolic
times. '-Schof.

be disputed. He was informed, and a
prophecy to the same effect from Micah
t5:2) was cried, that the Christ was to
be born in Bethlehem of Judes.
That the guilty and crafty 'Herod
should pretend to feel friendly SYM
patty with the wise men in their search
for the new Prince, and should ask them
to 90 to Bethlehem and find the child,
and then summon him that he might
also offer his homage.-while secret
alarm and cruel enmity reigned in his
heart, is the logic of the circumstan-
cee.
3. The Child's Star,-vs. 9-12.
The Magi listened to the king; but
were not deceived by his amicable pre-
tensions.
The star they had seen in the east
still guided them,-the star of destiny,
visible only in the mental canopy. 1t
directed them to the home of the Cali
lean peasants. They saw in the child
promise of the coming King. They
we're to themselves justified in opening
their treasure-boxes, and bringing forth
the presents which we're customarily
given to royalty, = gold, always the
royal metal; frankincense and myrrb,
costly articles for incense.
The wise men, we are told. felt great
Joy in their hearts in the hope for the
world which the sight of the Child awak-
ened.
Without making report to Herod
they returned to their own country.
