Another Good Reason.

Another good reason for the election
of the present members of the City
Council who have been nominated for
second term may be found in the fact
that they have made more public i'm
provements than was ever made in so
short time, and at less cost, and du
ring their term have paid off over four
thousand dollars of the bonded debt of
the city, and at the same time, they
have been able and have reduced the
taxation of the city. BY reference to
the records, 1t will be seen that during
the last two years, under the present
mayor and city council the following
city tax has been levied. We give the
levy for the past nine years, as follows:
1890 city tax levy was 10 mills.
1891 city tax levy was 10 mills.
1892 CITY tax levy was 10 mills.
1893 city tax levy was 10 mills.
1884 city tax levy was 10 mills.
1885 city tax levy was 10 mills.
ls98 city tax levy was 10 mills.
1877 city tax levy was 8 mills.
1888 city tax levy was 6 mills.
This shows a decrease in city tax levy
for the last two years of the present
city council for 1897 and 1898, and we
feel safe in saying, that with their re
election another reduction can be made.
Will the tax payers of Missouri Val
ley turn out these 1aen who have SO
faithfully served the people, to elect
new and untried men? We will see.

drew full house. There was an un-

speaker drew a tant string upon his
bow and mercilessly sent his arrows
pointed and feathered into more than
one heart resting on its own moral
claims.

MARDI GRAs AT NEW ORLEANS
Half Fare Round Trip Tickets, Good Re-
 turning February 2Sth.

On account of the Mardi Gras festiv- ities at New Orleans February 18th and 14th, the Texas & Pacific Railway Com pany has authorized the sale of round trip tickets at one fare from stations in Texas, February 7th to 18th inclusive, and from stations in Louisiana Febru- ary 9th to 18th inclusive. Final limit on all tickets February 2sth.
 There is no more delightful place to spend short winter vacation than New Orleans during the annual Mardi Gras festivities. With a citizenship com posed of every nationality, it is neces- sarily unlike any other city in the coun- try, with its quaint and varied styles of architecture, etc. No other city observes this festal season in so grand and ella bor- ate manner, and thousands journey from far and near annually to enjoy the fun and view the sights of beauty and splendor. To the stranger there is always accorded hearty welcome, and a visit to the ancient French quarters of that city of itself will amply repay for the small outlay necessary to make the trip.
