The council held meeting Monday
evening. Little except routine business
was transacted. 1t was found necessary
to make a loan of 81 600 to meet current
expenses. A bill of about 500 was pre-
scented from Engineer Pierson, for serv-
ices i'm connection with the waterworks
1t seems no definite contract was made
with him as to the compensation he
should receive. The board considered
the bill a little high, in view of the fact
that $50 was paid him for the prelimi-
nary work in addition to the present bill
and the matter was referred to the presi-
dent and the committee on claims for
investigation.

Pathos Mingled With Love.

A love story comes from romantic
Roumania. II all happened in the lit
tie village of Vacrest de Rastvaca,
near Bucharest. \ young peasant,
Damian Nalda. loved a beautiful
young person, whose parents, at least,
did not ''reciprocate his affections"
Valda was denied the house, but he
remembered that the little god laughs
at bolts and bars, and took comfort.
The girl approved of plan which he
devised.
He procured a covered wagon and
a dozen friends. drove up one night
and rushed" the house. The girl. al
ready muffled, was brought out. and
Damian industrlously plying the whip,
away they tore TO his home.
He lifted down his precious burden
and gently drew the veil from her
face. The features were those Of the
girls mother.

A SYNDICATE of millionaires, headed by
Senator w. A. Clark of Montana, will
build an immense plant at Peoria, Ills,
to fight the tin plate trust. 1t is limited
that the new institution will go also into
competition with other big concerns In
the iron and steel industries When
trusts fight trusts, the people will get
their dues. There is too much money in
the country for any trust to continue to
demand inordinate profits, and it is prob
able the very greed of the big concerns
will prove their undoing, and that the

THE legislature that is Just now in the
last throes of death from old age, will
be remembered for many things it did
not do. 1t did not do anything to in
crease corporation taxes, in spite of the
fact that a majority of the members
were elected on platform pledging such
increase; in fact, corporation taxes were
in some instances decreased. The Mich
igan Central yet enjoys the privileges of
its old charter. The people will not
mourn the legislatures demise.
