Navigation Oh the river will be re-

mand continuous service over thi, line.
1t was decided to suspend one day last
week owing to the threatening APP
proach of winter. Immediately after
the boat was tied up the weather
moderated and has been like spring
ever since. A boat load of passengers
and freight Is expected to arrive at any
time now and it is probable that no
more breaks in travel or traffic will
occur.

Little Charley Wood was held up
Tuesday evening. He had been Mt
work at the Tribune office till about
II o'clock and while going home past
the alley north of the Raymond house
big man grabbed him by the shoulder
and shook him till the silver ratified in
his pants pocket. Then came brisk
order to deliver up. The boy was
frightened and he handed over dol.
lar and six bits, all he had. Charley
had not been modest about exhibiting
his cash during the day and some bad
man thought he was safe subject for
highway robbery.
Mr.. u. ID. Spain was to have been

The city council held a monthly
meeting Monday night in Judge
Poe's Office. There was a big
batch of business and the meeting
was long one. The bills for new
sidewalks were not allowed for the
reason that the street commission
ers had not approved of them.
These will probably come up at an
adjourned meeting. Messrs Nor
ris, Reed and Weisgerber were ap-
pointed committee on sewers and
light. A petition was presented by
Monroe & Barnett for permission
to repair wooden building within
the fire limits, on Main street, at
the head OF First street. A petit
ton was also presented, asking the
council to restrain from dedicating
any more of Main street to the use
of the Chinese. The majority of
the council seemed to be opposed
to the extension of domain of the
heathens, but there was question
of the legal right of the body to in
terfere with the repairs contem-
Mated on the O'Rr;ou cro,or&,,
The question was deferred till
Wednesday evening when it will
be considered at a special meeting.
The question of contracting for
arc lights was also postponed till
the adjourned meeting. A petit
ton was also presented for an arc
light near the Normal School on
The Hill. The sewer and light
committee are to report on the lat
ter petition.
