the city by way of Main street and

city. Beyond arousing little curiosity
no damage was done.

The commissioners on the opening
of the street between Deming and

IT. j. Dale, the jeweler, does not
propose to get behind the times. This
morning he had the windows of his
store trimmed up on the north half
with silver goods and the south half
with gold. Back of all the goods is a
big placard upon which is the follow
ing legend in large letters: "The
Question of the Hour. Are You For
Gold or Silver?"
Len Powers got into worse diff
Guilty today than he has ever met here
tofore, and all on account of his drunk
enness as usual. He has just been re-
leased from jail and today was beastly
drunk again. While wandering about
the Jacob Niederprim saloon he in
some manner displaced portion of
the clubhouse and fell into the
offal in the vault up to his
neck. No one knows how long
he remained there but it must have
been for some hours. He was extricat-
ed by someone who found him at about
2:30 o'clock and since then has been
wandering about in the alley between
there and Park street.
AID. John T. Yule fired one of his
customary bombs into the council
meeting Wednesday evening and kept
the meeting from falling into the rap
furious arms of Orpheus. Mr.. Yule has
way of doing that entirely his own.
The proceedings had not much more
than got opened up when he arose and
informed the mayor that he did not be-
lieve that the meeting then in session
was legal one. He could not see how
the mayor, one alderman and the city
clerk could constitute themselves
quorum for the adjournment of the
Monday evening meeting to any special
date, but this seemed to be what had
been done. He warned the council
that if it transacted any business about
which there might be any question III
the future this meeting would be held
in the courts to be illegal. The mayor
retorted that lie had been instructed
by the city attorneys that such meet
ing was all right. Mr.. Yule said he
had an opinion from an attorney
equally good which said the opposite
thing. Then Mr.. Yule branched Oft in
to other matters by remarking that he
did not think the aldermen of this city
had a proper control OF affairs. lie
wanted to know who had hired Robert
Moth in the city engineers depart
ment. The council never had, but the
bill for his services came in regularly
and the council allowed it. Then the
alderman wanted to know how it was
the water works commissioners could
go ahead and put in water pipe extern
sions and other improvements without
even so much as consulting the alder
men. He thought it the proper thing
for the commissioners to first ask the
councils consent to Improvements aud
then lay the estimates of cost before the
board for consideration. Instead, he
complained that they went ahead and
merely presented the bills for work
done, which the council must pay. He
did not think the council could keep a
proper hold on the city's finances that
way. On this last proposition Mayor
Farr agreed with the alderman.
