TOWN CLERK
A Surprise Sprung on the City
Council Monday Night
Johns Forced to Resign His Clerk
ship in Order to Get the City
Printing Contract

At Wednesday nights meeting OF
the council all save Alderman Miner
were present and the entire evening
given to consideration OF licenses.
This work was not, however, COM
pleted, and the ordinance was turned
over to the city MISUNDERSTANDING.
Alderman Regain made a gallant fight
Oh the matter of saloon licenses, i'm
fact he was the leader in nearly every
motion to increase the amount re-
ported by the committee, very SEN
sibly declaring that the licenses
should at least be sufficient to pay
the salaries OF heOficers. Alderman
Corcoran was OUT of the room when
the saloon paragraph was reached
and Alderman Regain failed to get a
second to his motion to increase the
quarterly amount from so to $15.
Mayor Barnes, who was i'm hearty
sympathy with the movement, de-
ierred action until Corcoran returned,
but he wanted the amount raised to
$50 at least, and Regain was no bet
ter off than before. Parent, how
ever, came to the rescue and the in
crease was ordered. Regain asked to
be recorded as voting no on both the
professional and Touring mill clauses,
deeming the amounts insufficient.
Before adjournment the council
called for bids on city printing, to be
submitted at Especial meeting Thurs
day evening, but no quorum was Sc
cured at that time and the business
went over to Monday night.
Monday night the license law was
completed, the folio owing being the
schedule as finally passed. 1t went
into effect Mt once, and those affected
are expected to call upon Treasurer
Murray Immediately:

This getting up so early in the

dress to farmers, sis a relic ofbarbar-
ism. 1t has made hundreds of thou
sands of young men curse the business.
There ia no need of getting up at 3 or
4o'clock in the winter morning. The
farmer who persists in dragging his
wife and children from their beds
ought to be visited by a missionary.
1t is time enough to rise after the
sun has set the example. For what
purpose do you get up? To feed the
cattle? Why not feed them more the
night before? tits "a waste OF life. In
the old times they used to get up
about 3 O'Clock in the morning and
go to work long before the sun had
risen with healing upon his wings,
and as "a just punishment they all had
the ague; and they ought to have IL
now. Eight hours a day is enough
for any farmer to work except In
harvest time. II with all these
advantages you cannot get a living
without rising in the middle OF tn,

cided to award the work to Mr..

est, when Mr.. Watson, representing
the ARGUS, called the attention of the
aldermen to the provisions of section
1906 Of the Political Code, which pro-
hibited any town officer from being
in any way, directly or indirectly, in
terested In any contract awarded by
the council. This law clearly dis
qualified Mr.. Johns, city clerk, as n
bidder, but some way had to be de-
vised SO that Johns could get the
contract Git would never do tn have
the Republican ARGUS get a contract
from a Democratic board), so Clerk
Johns Immediately wrote his resig-
nation as clerk, it was accepted, the
previous action reconsidered and the
contract Rewarded to Mr.. Johns, he
having in the meantime retired to
impress upon thecouncilmen his won
derful ~self-sacrifce (?). Inasmuch as
the council had previously deter
mined To post all ordinances In order
to save the cost Of publication, the
printing bills should be very small,
tho doubtless the aldermen will let
no opportunity pass to throw work
to Johns.
City Attorney Cort having in the
meantime arrived, he presented for
the councils action five ordinances,
which were read. passed and APP
proved. These were as follows:
Providing for working of town
prisoners IN the roads. or giving
them "a bread and water diet as an
alternative.
Fixing a penalty of from 81 to 500
for carrying concealed weapons.
Defining Migrants and providing a
punishment of from s. to $25 fine.
Prohibiting fast driving, riding BIZ
cycles or horses on the sidewalks or
leaving horses or teams unhitched,
and fixing u penalty of from s. to
$50 fine.
Placing a fine of from IS to $lOOfor
conducting or %inhabiting a house of
ill-fame.
The council considered an offer of
Jerry st. John to place about 100
loads of gravel on the streets, places
to be designated by the marshal, at
% cents per load, and the offer was
accepted. The gravel will be hauled
from the hill near George Bach's resi-.
dence, where some excavating is to
be done.
This completed the work.

against further retention of the yolun-

ated some excitement at the war depart
ment today
Adjutant General Corbin, when his
attention was called to the matter, was
pronounced in his criticism of the gov
ernors action. He said the president
and the war department were doing
everything in their power to bring
about the prompt mastering out of the
volunteers now in the service, but 1t
was manifestly absurd to think that all
the boys from the northwest can be
discharged until their places shall have
been filled by others.
1t is believed the president will see
his way clear to order the mastering
out of all the volunteers in the Philip
pines within the next thirty days. In
the meantime he Is holding off in order
that he can give men there who desire
to enlist every possible chance to do so
under the best circumstances. The
president Is inclined to offer volunteers

$500 apiece. He is also in communica-
ton with General Otis to ascertain az
nearly as possible how many volun-
teers will consent to remain in the serv-
Ice. If he finds he can give these men
full pay and allowances to which they
would be entitled if they were discharg-
ed from the service in the Philippines
and then should re-enlist and should
travel back at their own expense, he
will do so.
