trust that each and every member of this board will begin his service here by first familiarizing himself with the duties and workings of his committee.
 City onicers
 "There seems to be some diversity of opinion among the aldermen as to whether the officers elected in January last were elected for the entire year, or only until the new administration should come into office. This is a matter that can await our attention later; but, from the best information I can gather from our citizens, some changes are expected, especially where certain officers have enjoyed a long term of office, regardless of the eligibility of other candidates for the positions. In the auditorship va cancy now exists. I recommend that no election be held until we have investl- gated fully the expense of that office.
 Gambling
 Some of the evils of our city, and of all cities. are regarded by many as "necessary evils" Laws have been enacted whereby it is in the power of the board to exercise police control and regulation of many of them. There is one standing gevii-GAMBLiNG. That you cannot afford to compromise with. There is compromise ground in dealing with class who corrupt the morals of all other classes with whom they come in contacts a class that fills our jails and penitentiaries, and robs and deprives many poor people of the necessaries of life.
 City Debt
 "One of the most serious conditions in connection with our city is the financial problem. This condition now confronts us, and within the next few months we will be brought face to face with It. Nothing will help us more when the
 n show that the board has made for itself the reputation of having managed the affairs of the city in an honest, economi- cal conservative and business-like man. ner; that they have not only met each and every obligation, but have met them promptly. With such record be- hind us, 1 feel that the holders of our bonds will not only respect and admire us for our ability and integrity, but will feel more like assisting in funding our bonded indebtedness at much lower rate of interest than we are now paying. People help those who help themselves" We must not sit in idle ness until these burdens fall upon us, and expect our creditors to take charge of our affairs and assist us unless we try to help ourselves.
 "It is the duty of this board not to criticise former administrations who contracted these debts, but let us rather feel that they are responsibilities which rest upon our shoulders-let us make our arrangements to meet them regardless of the constitutional -conven- ton, or the Birmingham amendment
 'As mayor of this great city I assure the board they will never feel the want of my warmest aid and sincere sympa- thy in every effort advanced to secure good government for all our people," i. ,u New Mayors Suggestions On motion of Alderman Jones the mayors suggestions were received and were ordered spread upon the minutes Of the meeting.
 Alderman Jones then moved that the board adjourn subject to the call of the mayor, which was carried.

CRIMINAL QUACKS. ,
One Who has Polluted Weiser Justly
HOrsewhipped, to EveryOne's
Satisfaction.

Religious quacks and legal quacks
are in evidence every day and in
every locality. One has a revelation
of Just what the Divine Ruler will do
and don't know very much about
what he has done. The legal quack
arrives and for a few days mystifes
the confiding public with his assump-
tions OF wisdom, his rotundity to he
punctured sooner or later, and, the
wind, out not much remains.
But religious and legal humbugs
are, as matter of fact, harmless.
The criminal quack ls a far more
dangerous animal, and always as
sumes the disguise of benefactor,
under cloak OF that most honored OF
professions, the healing art, or Of
medicine. These sneaks, under cover
OF professional confidence, intrude
themselves into families and take
advantage OF every weakness, mental
or physical, and ruin what they as
sumo to cure. The case OF the
alleged "Dr" King, who was horse
whipped and soundly beaten by Mr..
D. N Baker for insulting conduct
toward member of his family is
only one of many instances and
ought to suggest to every man the
danger Of allowing this curse of hui
manity, the medical quack, to sup
plant the estimable and well known
practitioner The only criticism tina
we have heard is that mistake wa
made in allowing him to escape, ane
in condition physically to execute
his brutal conceptions. Mr.. Baker,
when advised of unprofessional con
duct of the quack, King, called
, very good friend and~one OF our bes
citizens to his aid He proceeded t.
; the room of the quack and afte
causing him to remove his coat AM
/ vest he horse whipped him in GOO
; style; and after the whip was wor
out he took primitive means OF nd
ministering further punishment Tn
3 auack remained in hiding until tn
J east bound train came, sneake
a aboard and left for parts unknown
e His name is H A. King and b
Z practices osteopathy.
| 4 Good people the world over ar
: warned against him, and locally "
e want to say, avoid these special erin
e dnal quacks.

Raise Cattle.

There's money for those who go
into the cattle business for the next
few years Long depression in that line
of several years ago caused tue rails
ing Of cattle to decrease. During
the lrst few years the marked increase
in population and growing demand
abroad has sweled the market to such
an extent, that without knowing 1t, the
cut,le supply of the country has been
practically drained, people have been
selling off their female stock (there
has been train loads of such going
from Weiser for several years. and
paving so little attention TO produc-
ton that there does not begin to be
an avail able supply equal to the
present demand. Cattle for market
are scarcer today than ever known
before. Gerry Snow has just had
u two weeks ride trying to purchase
500 head. A few years ago he
could have secured that amount II
any little valley in the country
These are the conditions which are
causing the high prices in cattle anc
they are conditions which will no
be changed in the next ten years
hence there's money in the cattle
business, in fact for the young mai
there is no more promising line 0
business.
