MA ganado macho para sacrificar pre-

altos precios, y por tai motive ha sufri
do grandes quebrantos sosteniendo ell
precio de 26 ccntavos ell kilo Ell benei
cio del publico consumidor.
IS La causa del alto precio del ganado
macho, obedece nucvas disposiones
gubernativas, POGO acertadas por cierto,
que hacen impossible ell sacriticio de ga
nado hembra, y va en- este empelo, por
ell medico y CONCEAL de Abastos, esta
companfa ha sido condenada dos veces
& quemar reses hembras enteras, con
perdida total de carnes buenas sanas.
Los embarques de ganado macho por
una parte, y la necesidad de matar
tambien ganado macho, son causas de-
terminates del alto preclo que por esta
clase de ganado pretenden los ganade
ros; en- tanto ell ganado hembra Sc ofre-
ce a precios bajos, y es adquirido para

"CQMING AGAIN 2

There is no success like success and
no friend like an old. true and tried
friend. This is an adage that works
charmingly with attractions in the
amusement world, when so many new
and unknown productions are placed
upon the market without name or rep
utation.
The fame of the Boston Lyric is
worldwide. 1t is known amongst our
theatres oers and its standard excel
lence is far above anything in the OPP
cratic line that has ever appeared in
our city.
The last appearance Of this famous
organization Of singers was a memora-
bic one and its great success musically
and artistically is still ringing in our
peoples ears. Come again was the
wish expressed from every quarter, and
Manager Col. w. A. Thompson, like a
good general, has listened to the APP
peal, and return engagement is the
consequence. Thanks are thus due 10
our local management and the Lyric
management and appreciation will be
shown by our people by crowding the
Opera House for one week, commenc-
ing Monday, February 10Th. with mat
inees Wednesday and Saturday, to Its
utmost capacity.

Council met in regular session last
evening, but transacted only a limited
amount of business, owing to the fact
that the standing committees of the
body had not yet been appointed. No
bills were paid, as no reports could be
made under the circumstances.
Seventeen members answered to
their names in the Second Branch, with
President Maxwell presiding, and nine
in the First Branch, with Mayor Swee-
ney in the chair.
Bonds of officers-elect were approved
as follows:
Louis Serig, Superintendent of the
Crematory, in $500, with Martin Kor-
rell and Henry Serig as sureties; F. G.
Remple, Weighmaster, in $1,000, with
L. A. Lallance surety; L. j. Davis,
market master in the Second ward
with Henry Serig and B. F. BachmanA
sureties; MesSrs. Henry Schmulbach,

bond in the sum of 100000, %ccompa-
MED by the oath of Office of the mem
bers; Will Bowers, assessor south Of
the creek. bond filed with the City
Clerk. The B. P. W. also transmitted
its organization as heretofore publish
ed. The bonds were all approved.
Mr. Bloomfield offered a resolution
authorizing the City Clerk to act as
Clerk of the Police Court in the alb
sence of Clerk Nolte, and it was adopted
by both Branches.
Mr.. Waterhouse offered a resolution,
adopted by both Branches, making the
Mayor and President Of the Second
Branch ex-officio members of all COM
mittees. The ordinance provides for
this.
Mr. Worls offered a resolution to the
effect that all city employees should pay
debts contracted during their terms Of
Office, or be discharged. This was re-
ferred, fer the opinion of the SOlic-
itor.
This brought the Council down to the
report of the Committee on Commit
tees, as heretofore published, and a
great deal of delay ensued. The report
as presented in the First Branch was
not the original report made up by the
Committee last Thursday night, it hav
ing been changed in six or eight in
stances, by some sort Of underhand
work. Mr.. Waterhouse protested against
it's adoption in the form it was pre-
scented in, and called especial atten-
ton to the composition of the Commit
tee on Wharves, all six members being
from the Second Branch, in violation
of the ordinance. The Republican ma
jority, however put the report through,
and it was sent to the Second Branch
There it ran against a snag in the per-
son of President Maxwell, who called
attention to the fact that the Commit
tees were not properly constituted and
sent for the written ordinance book con-
tanning the amended rules. When the
rule was read it was found that Mr..
Maxwell was right, and the report was
referred back to the Committee, which
was at once called to meet in the cham
Der of the First Branch, an informal
recess of both branches being taken.
AS originally constituted, Mr.. Ziegler,
D., was on no Committee. AS revised
the Committees were constituted as
follows, the first name in each case
being the chairman, the election of the
presiding officers being made after
Council had adjourned, instead of call
ing all the Committees through the

Local builders and contractors are
anticipating a slight advance in the
price of brick this season, or, rather, d
uniform price throughout the district.
In former years, when every manufac-
turer OF brick was at liberty to make
his own prices, there was a tendency to
beat down the cost OF material, and
there was also a disposition on the part
of manufacturers to make every con-
cession in order to assist local builders
in getting contracts. This caused more
or less cutting, which not unfrequently
was ruinous. Under the present regime
there is to be none of this. Contract
Ors will get a price on brick from the
central selling agency and in making
up their bids they will know no one
else is beating them on this item, for
all will be treated alike. A local build
er says the formation of the Suburban
Brick Company will simplify matters
in one way, but will make it harder on
contractors in another. All variation
in bids must now fall upon other items
entirely, which will leave a much
smaller margin to come and go on.
There still seems to be some skeptic-
ism about the fulfillment of the pottery
deal, although Wheeling capitalists
seem to think the American Pottery
Company is an accomplished fact 1t
is stated there is some reason to doubt
that the pOtteries as a whole made any
large profits last year. but even grant
ing that they made $1,000 900, as stated
in the stock brokers announcement,
the sum would equal per cent divi-
dend on about $21 100000 of stock. If,
therefore, the capital stock is to be
made $4,000, 600, the prospects for large
profits is not apparent. There is to be
saving Of expense, however, under
the consolidation, and with an advance
in the price Of product the stock may
be made profitable.
The tin output from the local mills
has advanced fifty cents a box within
the past few months, and it is possible
it may take another jump upward be-
fore long. At least such is looked for
by interested parties. Block tin has
also advanced, but not so much as to
counterfeit profits on the finished pro-
duct.
The plan for having a central coal
selling agency for the output of the
Pittsburg district is being pushed to
completion as rapidly as possible Local
producers want a uniform rate and a
uniform price, which is the primary OBJ
ject Of the compact.

being held daily at the First Christian
Church are meeting with excellent sue
cess. On Sunday evening the spacious
auditorium was crowded. Mr. Albert
Bellingham, of Worcester, Mass, has
charge of the music at these meetings.
Mr.. BelIingham has very fine voice.
and his solos have proven to be quite
a drawing card.
