Story Of the Councilnen's Experience
With Bottle

Ever since Monday last quart bottle
of fine whisky has been occupying a
prominent position on the desk of Presi-
dent Silver of the city council, and IN
answer to the frequent question as TO
when it was to be sampled, that gentle
man only smiled and told the anxious
inquirers that it wac not ripe, and they
would have to wait awhile. The more
the councilmen saw the bottle, the more
they coveted it, but the president re-
fused to yield. Yesterday afternoon,
however, he was enticed out of his office
for a few minutes by Councilman
Nickel, on the pretense that he wanted
to consult with him on the bond question,
and in the meantime City Attorney
Dunn distracted the precious botte,
which was carried into the adjoining
room opened up and the contents duly
teeted after which Mr.. Dunn tried to
get the bottle back to its rightful owner
undetected. He was unsuccessful go
much SO, that it aroused suspicion, and
then the whole story came out. Mr.. Sill
