A MODERN POO BAH.

The city council met in adjourned
session Tuesday evening to hear an
opinion from Toole & Wallace, attor-
neys at law, upon William Bonner's
claim to a seal in the council. The
opinion, which vas accepted by the
council, holds that Mr.. Bonner is the
rightful alderman of second ward,
until the next general election shall
have been held. G.. w. Brown. al
ready made city clerk and attorney,
was further burdened with the Offices
of marshal and street commissioner,
He now holds all the salaried offices
under the city government except
that of Lord High Executioner, but
the council will easily correct that
difficulty by appointing him at it's
next regular meet. Mr.. Brown is a
good mar for the offices, and will at
tend we'll to their duties. In his
case, the clerk can instruct the attor-
ney to arm the marshal with the law
and when a culprit is pulled, the
street commissioner will put him on
the chain gang, without the necessi-
ty of him going out of the one ofic-
er's hands. The idea is a capital one
and the council deserves a tribute of
praise for installing the first Poo
Bah of the village.

! Konness, Konnor, Kennedy and Kwinn
| are the big four who have captured the
| best plums at the disposal Of the county
board. William CONFESS has been
elected chairman of the county board.
He has represented the town OF Brule
for number of years, and is entirely
familiar with county affairs. DR.. H. J.
Conner has been elected county physi-
clan. The doctor is genial gentleman
and one of the very best physicians and
surgeons at the head of the lakes. Billy
Quinn is whole-souled Irishman of
the old school. He has been reelected
successful has been his administration
that he has turned the poor farm into
a veritable paradise. Most anyone
would be pauper to get chance to
live within the radiant charm of Billy's
smile. Billy Kennedy is poor commits
sioner for at least another year. He is
a thorough-going fellow. The poor are
entirely safe in his hands. So there are
four offices that the A. P. AS did not
get. "Their graft is strong" so TO speak,
in city affairs, but the county is still
controlled by a class of citizens who
know no distinction of race, color or
religion.
Speaking of Billy Quinn, he isn't very
much of success as a Toreador. Now
Billy kept young and hayward bull on
the county poor farm. Shortly after the
advent of the untamed bovine, actuated
by the dictates of common prudence,
Billy sawed his horns off, after which
he was regarded as harmless. While
Billy was walking about the bul7s in
closure one day with the air of a man
who is monarch of all he surveys, the
bull made for him. Billy's dignity was
of no avail, his smile, also, was in vain.
The bull tossed him in the air. An A.
P. A. county board could not have used
him worse. The bovine seemed to re-
gard the atmosphere as Billy's natural
abiding place, and kept him up there
and suffered him not to come down I'M
til he had carried him around the in
closure few times. The affair was not
monotonous. Billy with his two hun
dred pounds, was tossed about as
though he had been child. Surely
Mr.. Quinn must have thought for
awhile that he was back on his native
sod enjoying the exhilerating and va
ried delights of a ride ON a jaunting
car. But Billy never faltered. He could
not forget that he was superintendent
and that the bull was simply one of
the appurtenances of the farm. It might
seem for the moment that the bull was
bigger man than the superintendent,
but his triumph would come, and It did.
One of the assistants came to the relief
OF Billy and drove the bull away. The
poor farm Is once more a quiet and
peaceable retreat. The bovine disturb
er ia No more. Billy is again elected
as the superintendent. He is the only
pebble on the beach, even If he does
carry his arm in a sling and walk a
little lame.

New York. Sept. 22.-The better feel ing in the cotton market continued to- day, and prices scored a fair advance. Liverpool advanced two sixty-fourths this morning. Our market opened to 8 points higher. The demand during the day was very good. The pressure that has been so noticeable of late was almostentirely absent, notwithstanding that receipts were extremely heavy. More speculative activity is also notice able. January opened at eco, advanced to 6.65 and closed at 6.63 to 6.64, with the tone of the market steady. Most eper- ators regard the recovery as only re- action, and the trade seems determined to ignore British news concerning the crop and to base it's opinions entirely upon the movement of supplies.
