The City Council.

AO Navy OOOAAAAAs
When the GAZETTE man dropped
into the mayors Office Monday
night he found Mayor Blohm look
ing over some papers with City
Attorney Gray.
1t was some time before any
alderman appeared and L. Wage
ner was the first in, Later, he was
joined by Alderman Eschenburg
and Trautwein. This being a
quorum the city secretary was sent
for and the house called to order.
A communication from the South
western Telephone Company was
read and favorably received, after
which two or three small bills were
approved.
A bill was then presented by
Hahnke and Eschenburg for a
coffin for "Cotton-Eyed joe" o
negro pauper, who died last winter.
This caused little discussion and
the board agreed that after this
paul ers would be buried in plain
wooden boxes.
The practice of freight trains
blocking street crossings was then
brought up and the practice severely
commented on. Conductors, hence,
forth, had best be careful as the
board showed decided inclination
to report the very first conductor
caught allowing his train to block
q crossing from now on.
The question Of the city's popu-
lation then came up and was gen.
orally discussed. 1t was the unani-
nous opinion of the board that a
census should be taken with view
to incorporating under the 1000
population act, the city to obtain a
new charter, providing the popula-
ton reaches chat figure. An APP
preparation was made for taking
this census, and on motion Chas.
Ward was appointed census taker.
He will make house to house can
vass of the town. Be ready to give
names and ages of your family and
/. so expediate the work.
= Alderman Trautwein suggested
that measures be taken to,rid the
town of disreputable negro.women.
In reply, Mayor Blohm stated that
since he had been elected justice q
the peace, any negro prostitute Oh
yagrant, against whom complaint
has been made, must either pay a
cash fine or go to Jail. Hitherto
when one of them was fined in the
mayors court, she was turned
loose, whether her fine was paid or
: not, as the city had no street gang
and could not afordto keep them
locked,up in the calaboose. Now
everything is changed and there
will be no more negro prostitutes
in Sinner.
City Treasurer Eschenburg re-
ported several hundred dollars in
! the treasury and the occupation
tax not all in yet.

, conn1eted its labors and adjourned

set at rest in minute. Chief Consul
Robertson said Capt. Churchill should
havea tandem. The first saddle should be
removed and the drum fastened i'll its
place. Then the drummer could beat
TO his hearts Content. What a sight IL
will he. A tandem with a big drum and
a small boy. That alone will be worth
the trouble of coming down town to see.
But Capt. Churchill is not yet out
OF the troubles his promise to come into
the parade has gotten him into. The
question Dow arises whether the motion
OF the foot OH the pedal will interfere
with the mental time which all musicians
keep when pla yiDg. March time is beaten
out by the foot while the band is marching,
but with the bicycle motion it will be
different.
This difficulty, too, will be overcome in
some way, even il it is necessary for
Capt. Churchill to compose march
specially adapted to the circular motion
OF the foot on the bike. Capt. Churchill
will he able TO speak more definitely about
details later on. In the meantime. he will
receive suggestions Cd the difficulty
which surrounds him.
ALL ARE INVITED.
But the invitation to Join in the parade
is not confined alone to the Mount Pleasant
band. All the other drum corps in the city
are most cordially invited to take part.
Most of the members have wheels and can
ride them. Here is your chance, boys.
Turn out and let Washington see you as
you are. The more bicycle bands there are,
the better. There cannot be too much
music. Write TO The Times and tell 1t what
you can do.
In the meantime all the bicycle clubs
in the city must bear in mind the meeting
Monday night. Choose your delegate ana
have him present. The committee from the
League wants to hear from every club, and
every club means every club. Send your
captain, or secretary, or treasurer, or do
like the wheelmen did. elect member.
Have your delegate and send him to the
meeting. DO not forget the number
