The preliminary arrangements for the
induction of the new city government
have been completed, and at 8 o'clock
promptly the order for the day will go into
effect.
The usual amount of button holding has
taken place, some members of the Re-
publican party who have done good and
efficient work for the party are clamoring
for recognition from the power that be-"
while those who are on the inside are
taking mighty good care that the revolving
of the wheels of chance will find them
in a position to rest in a contented frame
of mind.
OF course one of the most prominent
figures that will be seen Monday dt the
City Hall, will be friend John of the flow
ing whiskers, and few things will escape
that watchful.eye of his. A few promises
of more or less Importance will have to be
fulfilled, and the all absorbing question
will be whom can we afford to offend? A
prominent French citizen of the Third
Ward was knocked down and out at the
last city caucus, and IL dame rumor Is to
be believed some mighty tall promises had
to be made to keep him from showing his
displeasure at the late election.
In the Board of Aldermen the choic or
President of the Board lies between
Messrs. Eastwood and Mccartney, with
the chances greatly in favor of Alderman
Eastwood. Either would make an excel
lent presiding officer, but the honor right
ly belongs to Alderman Eastwood, as he is
the senior member and thoroughly con-
versant with the duties Of the office.
The Mayors message will be an import
ant document, reviewing, as it does, the
work of the past year, and embracing
many important recommendations for the
coming year.
1t is said that the policy of the incom-
ing City Council will be one Of retrench-
ment, and no extensive operations will be
undertaken during the year.
Do not be surprised II one of the nice
plumbs of political life drops into the out
stretched hands of this same gentleman.
Mr.. Dennis and Alderman elect Mccartney
took particular pains to call upon this
gentleman at different times previous to
election day, presumably to spend. a social
hour, or perhaps, to keep themselves posted
upon the rise and fall of stocks and meats,
etc. II they did, it Is no ones business,
Messrs. Dennis and Mccartney have per-
feet right to spend the afternoon and have
tea or chocolate with their dear friends.
Myron Fish no doubt will be elected to
succeed himself, as during the past year he
has filed the position with credit alike to
himself and the council. He has presided
with dignity, courteous to all members of
the council and watchful for the best in
terests of the city. If reelected there will
be no material change in the makeup of
the committees, as President Fish believes
it is poor policy to change members from
one committee to another, just when they
have thoroughly accustomed themselves
to the routine work and have mastered the
details of said committee work.

Pleasant Installation.
Branch 255, Catholic Knights of America,
ushered the new year In an unusually
pleasant and agreeable manner, the occa-
sion being the installation of the officers
for 1897. This organization has the repu-
tation of holding what might be termed
"Home Socials," or In other words, many
pleasant evenings are the result of private
affairs held among themselves. Last even
ing was no exception to the rule, the men,
bers enjoying one Of the best sociais in It's
history.

Ranger, performed the duties of installing

dent, Thomas f. Vance; Recording Secre-
tary, Robert Russell; Financial Secretary,

van; Trustee, for three years, Thomas

The exercises incident to installation
being over, an impromptu program OF
songs and recitations was INDUCED In, and
for season dull care was banished to the
rear. The inner man was not forgotten,
as palatable collation. had been prepared
