A question of the legality Of the Cit
liens ticket was raised last Saturday,
on the ground that inasmuchas the
ticket was nominated on Friday even
ing the ten day limit provided for by
law had elapsed, ard further that the
nomination papers filed with the city
clerk did not state the purpose of the
meeting. City Clerk Horney consulted
several attorneys on the points raised
aud concluded that these small techni-
cahties would not warraLt him in with
holding the ticket from the ballot. His
decision in the matter meets with gen.
eral approval.

does. Last week we advertised in one

They were claimed on the same day we

last week of our fine spring weather
our fondest hopes were blasted and our
plans tOpublish few columns of choice
spring poetry were knocked into cock
ed hat. From Friday OF last week until
Tuesday of this week we had the ex-
treme opposite of spring weather. On
Friday morning a cold wind began
blowing from the north, clouds gather
ed and became heavier until Sunday
night when it began showing. The
snow continued to fall fully twenty
four hours and by Monday night the
ground was covered about three inches
deep. At this writing the snow is dis
appearing and we hope we are safe in
saying that the winter is at last at an
end. The storm was especially severe
on cattle and we are almost afraid to
I hear reports from those who were short
on feed. 1t was terrible storm fol
