City Clerk Higby and his stenographer put
in the forenoon compiling the annual report
of the department, which will be submitted
to the mayor Monday morning. The docu-
ment shows that the city council and the
clerks Office have accomplished fully 90 per
cent more work during 1897 than in the pre-
vous year. This is partially due to the fact
that business has been more promptly dis
patched by the nine councilmen than was
possible when there were eighteen to do the
same work. The fact that a large number
OF public improvements have been under way
during the summer has also multiplied the
documents to be considered and the new
charter has also caused some additional work.
The report of the city clerk shows the fol-
lowing comparison of the business of the
two years:

NEW SOCIETY.
A Direct Legislation League Organ
lied in This City..-Objects and
Plans Of the Organization.


A new organization called the Direct
League, has been formed in
this city. Although in its infancy the
numbers thirty members.
1t has been in existence but two weeks
and those who are interested are con-
fident that the membership will be
largely increased. AS stated by one
of the members, the object Of the soci-
ETY. is to use its influence to secure for
the people the privilege of voting on
important matters pertaining to public
improvements, school system, grant
ing of franchises, ETC.. instead of the
present system in which the people
have no voice. AS yet only temporary
officers have been chosen, but it is in
tended to effect permanent organiza-
ton soon. A member states that the
society is patterned after similar Or
CARNATIONS which exist in all parts of
the country. The plan of working is
to get pledges from candidates for the
State Legislature to secure the election
of candidates who will work for the
principles of the organization. The
local league has been holding its meet
ings in a well known Market street
Office.

Shelf Bros, the jewelers., are giving
20 per cent discount on all their i'm
mense stock of Watches, Diamonds
Jewelry, etc. This announcement will
be greeted with great satisfaction by
the purchasing public, coming as it
does at this season of the year when
people are buying their holiday pres
ents, as it enables them to buy at just
four-fifths of the regular price.
The reliability Of this firm Is too well
known to comment upon, and when
they say that they will sell goods at
a reduction of 90 per cent 1T means
that they will keep their word to the
letter, thus selling at a less price than
other jewellers buy for. The stock of
Shelf Bros is complete in every de-
partment and great selection is Of
fered. The firm buy for cash and al
ways get the lowest possible prices, and
are therefore able to sell at astonish-
ingly low figures. And now comes the
announcement of 20 per cent. of this
regular price.
This remarkable offer will be quickly
taken advantage of by careful buyers
who appreciate this cut in prices from
this most reliable firm.
