THE COUNCIL HAS A QUORUM
Our City Fathers Held Very Imp0r-
tant Meeting Last Night.

The cOuncilman present last
night were Livingston, Water
man, Weathers, Pittman and
Carmichael. The first question
that came up was the contest case
Of Pittman VS.. Fuller from the
third ward. City Attorney ALL
red gave a legal opinion that the
city council having never fOrmu-
lated rules to govern contest
cases, the face Of the count would
have to be taken and as the count
gave Fuller two more votes than
it did PIttman, Weathers moved,
and Plttm1n generously seconded
that Fuller be seated, and it was
carried.
Next came the remitting Of the
fine charged up against Charley
Jarrett and as sumed by Marshal
Williams on the promise Of Mr..
Dukes to sec that the fne was
paid. Jarrett was released, but
the parties failing to pay the fine,
the marshal was left to hold the
bag. The council refused to remit
the fine.
The various bills we're audited
for December for salaries, water,
lights, etc. City insurance cost
5000 for a three years $4,000
policy. Feeding city horses last
month cost $44.91.
Sanitary Inspector Williamson,
in his report, said that the health
of the city was coed. He was
taking the city census and ex-
pccted to finish this month.
While b. A. Weathers did not
question the correctness of tie
city clerks report on outstanding
city scrip, which appears in an
other column, it seemed to him
that that amount was not out
standing, as it was difficult to get
scrip when wanted, except new
scrip issued from month to
month, which also quickly disap-
pcared. The city clerk assured
the gentleman that the report
was correct, as he knew of one
party, DR.. Delouest, who held
about $50 of old scrip, he and Mr..
Burford being the largest holders
of this indebtedness.
The resignation of Alderman
Green, which had been pending
since Nov. 2 last, was accepted,
although his time would have ex-
pired by the next meeting. The
clerk was ordered to notify the
gentleman of the fact.
Mr.. Weather5 then made a
statement, largely personal, re-
garding his action with the other
members of the judiciary commit
tee, in not reporting favorably on
the tax reduction asked for by H.
K. Smith on some lots purchased
by him belonging to E. w.
Agnew. He thought a man be-
fore buying property should IA
miliarize himself with it's condi-
tiOn and know what he was buy
ing. Ii would establish q bad
precedent and impair the city's
ability to collect It's taxes. Mr.
Waterman remarked, as one Of
the committee, that since making
the report he had secured facts
that led him to reverse his oDin-
ion and thought Mr.. Smith was
entitled to a rebate, which, on
motion, was granted. Mr.. Smith
thanked the council.
Adjourned to meet next Tues
day night, when the new mayor
and aldermen will be inducted
into office.
Every tax payer should read
the city clerk's report in this
issue.

SONGS TRIUMPHAL,

 For Joyful Music.

Memorial Day Calls Not For Dirges. bat
 For Joyful Music.
 Our heroes were serious people. They died in a serious cause. For them cap be no regrets, no apologies, and, we trust, no recriminations. This Memorial day is not alone festival of peace and reconciliation, but of duty-praise for the work that was done, courage for that which remains to be done. Our songs should be triumphal-no dirges, no sorrow or anger or pain. The mem- ories we consecrate are sacred. These were our heroes. If to them was vouch- safed the thrilling joy of achievement, upon us devolves the duty of preserving what they won and holding it good against the world.
 The music will cease, the flowers will fade, eloquence will be stilled, and these spring days now suffused with color, life and sweet perfumes will soon pass away. We shall turn from our dead and leave them to their hushed repose. But we cannot be indifferent to the admoni- tions and the inspirations of these graves. Let us rather take from them a pure and resolute patriotism and con- tinue our duties of citizenship, strength ened by their sufferings, their achieve ments and their renown.-John Russell Young

THE IcEFlELDS OF DEATH.

When the sparrows build and the leaves breaA
 forth, My old sorrow wakes and cries, For know there is a dawn in the far, far
 north,s sF-..s... r. ....s ss And a scarlet sun doth rise. Like scarlet fleece the snowheld spreads. And the icy founts run free, And the bergs begin to bow their heads And plunge and sail in the sea. Oh, my lost love and my own, own love, And my love that loved me so, Is there never clIink in the world above Where they listen for words from belowf Nay, spoke once, and I grieved thee sore Iremember all that said, And now thou wilt hear me no moreno
 more
 Till the sea gives up her dead. Thou didst set thy foot on the ship and sail To the icefields and the snow; Thou vert sad, for thy love did not avail, And the end could not know. How could tell I should love thee today Whom that day held not dearf How could know I should love thee away When did not love thee anearf We shall walk no more through the soddez
 plain
 With the faded bents o'erspread; We shall stand no more by the seething main While the dark rack drives oerhead; We shall part no more in the wind and rain, Where thy last farewell was said, But perhaps shall meet thee and know the<
 again
 When the sea gives up her dead.

A severe hail storm passed over this portion of the village on the 9th inst, breaking window glass and injuring veg citation.

"Oh, MT. Scannerton, she exclaimed efusively, ''I have been waiting to see youl wanted to tell you how much I appreciate that poem you had in the latest issue of The Cerebrum Magazine"
 "You mean the one that begins: Through the turgid depths we plod and blow And chamber on, we know not how. To find the goals that promised rest But weary starting points at best"
 "Yes," she answered, with dreamy. downcast eyes. "I like that. And it gets better as you go on. It gets very much better. There were parts of it that I could hardly understand at all. |"
 "Oh, you flatter mer'
 "No, indeed. You ought to do more things like that. You ought to write in 8 more dignified measure and be pro found, you know. like that so much better than these little things that sound as if they were done offhand. Yet know there must be great temptation to do that kind of work.

STORIES OF THE FLAG.

OTIS From Capture. h-
 When Burnside butted the stone wall ct Fredericksburg, the color bearer of the Sixty ninth New York fell mortaIly wounded. He had just strength enough to tear the stars and stripes from the stan and wrap them about his body un- d1e his costs Then he propped himaalf in .. sitting posture under . tree and awaited death. It came quickly. for a bullet soon pierced his heart and the flag that was over it.
 Sergeant Lloyd of the Sixty-third New York, in the same brigade, cared for his charge in a. similar manner and died 8 similar death. So did Sergeant Haokett of the Forty third New York. His was the state flag. He kept it under his uniform during his long term in Andersonville, and at his death it was buried with him.
 Sergeant w. H. Greene bore the col- ors of the Thirty-seventh Wisconsin in one of the assaults on Petersburg. Wounded to death, separated from his comrades in the fire swept field between the lines, with both legs smashed, he crawled into the Union lines on his hands and elbows, dragging the flag with hip by his teeth. He gave the flag back to his regiment and died. Charles T. Vansant carried the col DTS of his regiment in that unfortunate affair at Balls Bluff. When, in 8 des- perate charge. his colonel was shot, he bore him from the field and then re- turned to rescue the flag. Five times 1t was captured by the Confederates and each time regsined by Vansant in hand to hand struggles. At last he broke away with the flag and reached the river. His enemies were at his very heels, but he plunged into the water, dived to the bottom, placed the flag there under a stone and swan to the other shore and escaped. Afterward he revisited the spot and brought the flag up to restore it to the regiment New York Press.

THE UNION TICKET.

Taxpayers are requested to bear in
mind that no boss was consulted 10
the construction of the Union reform
ticket. 1t is not the work of a ma
chine and not dollar was spent by
any man to get on the ticket.
The ticket is composed of clean
men. The Silver Republican nomi-
nees can't be matched up for man
hood or ability in the Gold Republi-
can party. The Democrats put up
fine men throughout. The Peoples
party put up its most earnest and cap
able men.
Abuse will strengthen this ticket.
1t will be found that every man is
true as steel for the fundamental
principles of reform and can be relied
upon TO keep the pledges made in the
platform as we'll, if not better than
any man the Republicans will put up.
They are not under ring rule.
