What People are Doing and how
They are Doing it.

An adjourned regular meeting of
the city council was held last night
for the purpose offxing the amount
of tax levy for the ensuing year.
The levy was adjusted as follows:
Indebtedness fund, 6 mills; bond
interest fund, 4 mills; sinking fund,
3 mills. 1t was not found necessa-
ry to levy anything for the benefit
of the current expense fund, as the
city is now on a paying basis. The
sinking fund is created by law for
the purpose of retiring the water
bonds, and the city is compelled to
commence laying money away for
this purpose at once. So that vir-
tually this entire levy goes towards
cleaning up old scores, and the
prospects are that at no very dis
tant date the city will be out of
debt

A hurricane in full operation,
blasting winds, savage lightning
anrging waves and tossing ships
would be considered pretty fair
roujpments for melo drama even
in these exacting times. But Lin
coin J. Carter has been more gen
erous with the public in producing
"ITnder the Dome" which comes to
the auditorium in Pullman, next
Monday evening, Septe N b e +
26th. In addition to h e
above effects, a view of the illumin,
ated capitol at Washington, three
p pretty Washington scenes, the ferry
boat trip from Jersey City to New
York. The play, while abounding
in sensation. is said to be very we'll
written, and to contain perfectly
logical and somewhat original sto-
~.
Wednesday night and Thursday
morning Pullman and vicinity were
visited with regular summer
thunder storm, The lightning lit
up the surroundings with unusual
brilliancy. the thunder rolled with
a sharp and angry roar, and the
rain poured down ia flooding tor
rents. Some wind accompanied the
storm, and it was feared that con

couple of days lay-off on the part

has been bright, warm and cheerful
since.
Lincoln J. Carter, we'll known as
the author of long list of big
money-making sensational melo-
dramas, is the author of Under
the Dome" which comes to the
auditorium on Monday evening
next, September 26th. In Under
the Dome" he has undoubtedly ex-
celled his previous efforts both as
to excellence of plot and iaIogue,
and as to scenic effects. 1t is be-
ing given elaborate scenic produc-
tion. The action of the piece oc,

the Samoan islands. The hurricane

Jersey City to New York, are said

thins
The !rmber of commercial trav-
