Councilman Benson killed one prop
osition with another the other night at
the council meeting. In discussing the
stone pile arrangement one of the city
fathers wanted authority to have box
es built and the material apportioned
to each culprit, in order to compel him
to do full days work Mr.. Benson at
once suggested that the committee first
fill the boxes and pound the stone, in
order to overcome the possibility of
overworking the city prisoners. The
box protector had not another word to

Numerous criticisms have been heard
from the church members of this city
on the union meeting held last Sunday
evening, because of the political utter

terests OF temperance, to find that it is
largely in the interests of politics,

would eventually be divided on the

that was father to the thought, and he

lily is not right to hold political meet
ling under the guise of such a worthy
Icause as temperance.
The project for a new hotel in the

several weeks ago, has not Yet taken

experiences there exchanged indicated
