WAR TALK.

We have been informed by good
authority in the city, that news
went over the wires this morning
"wednesday that Mckinley has had
his back bone stiffened since he saw
and had talk with Lee and that
he has given it out now that he is
in favor Of declaring the indepen-
dence Of Cuba and a resort to arms
to carry it out. The program now
is to give Spain seven days to with.
draw its troops from the island,
and if it is not done in this time, to
make demonstration all along the
line to see that the troops are
moved off. We have reasons to be-
lieve that Mckinley will finally
change his front
The above news does not look
like fairy tale, but truth-at
least we hope 50.
The latest news from Washing
ton, is to the effect that the sena-
torial and congressional committee
to whom the various bills in regard
to Cnba were referred, have agreed
to report favorable on the Foraker
bill of intervention in Cuban affairs,
with the second cause stricken out
This means war, should the bill pass

The old officers then retired to
give room for the newly elected,
Before Mayor Cook turned over
the mayors chair he made a talk,
explaining that while the revenues
were larger during his administra-
tion than they were during the last
year he was inducted into Office, he
found plenty of places to spend the
money to an advantage. He spoke
of the great expense in maintain
ing quarantine and the small pox
scourge we had which required
money on every hand. Pointed out
the fact that he had put in many
underground pipes to carry off
storm water at the various cross
ings and had built two or three ex-
pensive bridges besides placing rock
and gravel on many of the streets
in filling up holes and washes. He
was proud Of the record he and his
retiring board of aldermen had
made.
When Mayor Cook finished his
speech he introduced Mayor Null
Inns, his successor. Mr.. Mullins
said, 81 am no orator nor do ! in
tend to make speech, but | wish
to say that in the last few days l
have examined the records and
find that the city owes $23, 500 an
increase of indebtedness in two
years of something in the neighbor-
hood of $4,000" The mayor said
he would work to put the city on
cash basis and would use his best
endeavors to keep the city scrip
up to at least 80 cents on the dol
lar until he could bring it up to par
if it was possible to do so. He said
that / shall recommend that the
street car track be placed down on
a level with the street, making It
possible for vehicle to cross at any
point, and also the lowering of the
water and gas pipes now washed to
the surface of the streets in places,
He wanted the council to look after
the matter of many private sewers
in the city that empty the offal
and slops on the public streets, and
to pass such ordinances as will stop
this nuisance to the good health of
our city. He also said the people
would expect a great deal from the
new council, more than they could
accomplish, perhaps, owing to the
fact that the taxes were not Of suf-
tcient volume to pay off back debts
against the city and have enough
left to keep up present expenses,

EAST SIDE COUNCIL MEETING

The East Side city council met
last night, from an adjourned session
of Tuesday night.
Mayor Mullins was in the chair
with Recorder Murphy at the sec
retarys desk. City Marshal Casey,
City Attorney Solinsky and Engi-
neer Holder we're on hand.
The aldermen present were:
Hardin, Cook, Purifoy, Edwards,
Kline and Barrow.
The minutes of three previous
meetings we're read and approved.
There were or Y two bills allowed
one to the water company to settle
back indebtedness for three quar-
ters, amounting to Sl,05O, and a
wood bill for 1880
Alderman Kline offered a resolu-
tion accompanied by chart, show
ing the need of three culverts un-
der the Iron Mountain railroad
tracks, and the resolution carried
the request for the road to put in
these culverts, at the roads ex-
peuse. The resolution was passed,
and the recorder ordered to send a
copy to the headquarters of the
road, with diagram, with request
that they comply.
Alderman ]. D, Cook offered a
resolution, which he said was ac-
ceptable to the water company.
The resolution was new contract
with the water company. Here
tofore the city has paid the com
pany $1,000 for the rental of AZ
hydrants, this in city scrip, at
deprecated value, but it was paid
back to the city in taxes tat par
value, and answered the same as
money. The new contract says
that the water company will furnish
water for the sum of 81, ,260, in U.
S, currency, thus saving the city
quite a sum. The resolution was
passed, and will be signed by the
Mayor and committee on water
and fire, and superintendent Mum
son, on behalf of the water COM
pany.
The street working ordinance,
compelling all male citizens between
the ages of IS and 45 years, to work
the streets five days each year, was
read the second time, and on motion
to put it on its third reading was
lost. This does not do away with
the ordinance, however, as it can
be called up on its third reading at
the next meeting, and passed or re-
jected.
There being no further business
before the council, an adjournment
was had.

OAK PARK FLAG RAISING.
STARS AND STRIPES FLUNG TO
THE BREEZE.
More Than a Thousand People
Gathered to Do Honor to
"Old Glory"

Despite the threatening weather last
night fully a thousand people displayed
their patriotism by their presence at
Oak Park at the raising Of the flag
there, and thoroughly showed their APP
probation of the Importance of the oc-
casion.
Two hundred and fifty school children,
marshaled by the teachers of the Oak
Park school. marched from the school
house to the fiagpole and raised their
voices in patriotic strains during the
ceremonies, taking part in a scene that
viii live in their memories when they
shall have grown to be men and wom-
en- The Native Sons Band of Oak Park
was present and enlivened the scene by
a number of excellent selections
w. H Collins was Chairman and de-
livered an excellent opening address,
setting forth the occasion of the gath
ring He was followed by Rev. r. d.
Russell, who congratulated the assem-
bly, on their presence and the purpose
that had brought them there to do hon
or to "Old Glory" He related the
changes made in the flag since America
declared herself free and said it had
been unfurled this time. as always be-
fore. in defense of freedom
After a song by the children Miss Jes-
sic Shaw pulled on the haliards and
raised the Stars and Stripes to the
breeze, while the band played The
Star Spangled Banner" and the chill
dren cheered it to the echo. Then fol-
lowed the salute and oath of allegiance
to the flag by the school children, and
Maggie BOggess recited Hail to the
Flag" in excellent style. The band
played Marching Down Through Geor-
gia" and the children sang Columbia,
the Gem of the Ocean," with a vim.
After another selection by the band,
Rev. A c. Herrick made remarks that,
though brief, We're repIete with patri-
otto sentiment and America" was
rendered by the audience and the band,
closing the exercises.
The audience adjourned to the Pavil-
ion. where the Red Men had prepared
little entertainment for them, and
enjoyed themselves in dancing, after
which refreshments We're served. 1t was
an occasion of which Oak Park is proud,
and lesson in patriotism that the chill
dren will never forget.

TWELVE YEARS.
Joe Medrana Sentenced FOR Assault
to Murder.

Judge Hart yesterday sentenced Joe
Medrana to twelve years in the peni-
Tertiary for the assault which he made
on his wife last February Had Me-
drama been a man Of hitherto bad repu-
tatiOn, or had there not been miti-
eating circumstances connected with
the deed. the prisoner would no doubt
have received punishment 10 the full
extent Of the law.
! Men are often goaded into commit
ting rash and criminal acts. and usually
ijuries take such facts into considera-
ton when they are strongly presented.
+ While Medrana did assault his wife
with a pen-knife and doubtless meant
TO Kill her. her conduct had driven him
to desperation, and when he upbraided
her he was met with defiance and vi
Ituperation. according to statements
made at the time by persons who
Iclaimed to have heard what passed be-
tween them. but which it is not neces-
Isary to repeat here.
The law Of course does not counte-
nance violence on any ground save self
defense and the verdict of the jury
was strictly in accordance with law,

usual excitement and provocation.
A few weeks ago a Spanish sympa-
thizer insulted an American citizen in
q railroad car in Alameda County. The
citizen resented the insult to himself
land his country by knocking the man
down and stamping the life out of him.
Under the law he was guilty Of at least
manslaughter, if not murder, but no
jury would have found him guilty. In
/ fact. he was not even arrested, and no
one has felt disposed to demand that
he be held to account.
Medranas wife was but slightly in
jured, and the twelve years confine-
ment in prison. added to the mental
torture inflicted upon the husband by
her conduct should be ample punish
Iment for him.

The officials of the patent office say that
they have never been so bothered as dur
ing the present fiscal year by applicants
for patents whose claims upon investiga-
ton prove to have neither novelty nor

so to speak, constructed from really val
liable material that are the products of
truly inventive minds. and which have
long since been utilized. But among all
people who investigate, and are suscept-
ible Of conviction by proof, there can be
no doubt that Hostetter's Stomach Bit
