MUST CUT THE WEEDS.
The City Council PASSES an Ordinance
and Does other business.

There was forced meeting of the
council last evening, at which quite
little business was accomplished.
The meeting was forced because 1t
was a warm night, and the council
men were not at all particular about
leaving the cool of their homes to
spend several hours in the heat of
the council chamber.
The meeting was called for the pur-
pose of passing an ordinance to reg
ulate the weed nuisance about the
city and the provision was passed
on its third reading on the waving
of the rules, and hereafter weeds in
the streets and alleys of the city will
be cut at the expense of the property
holders and the cost taxed to the
abutting property owners. -... -
A permit to sell Intoxicating liquors
was granted to one D. M. Molgel-
derg of Des Moines. This for the
reason that the gentleman has pur-
chased the Chas. Moore place on
High avenue and will remove to this
city from Des Moines.
The Iowa Central presented Pc
tition to the city council asking that
Tom Martin be appointed as the
night police for the road is this city.
There has been a great amount of
trouble occasioned by the filling of
the catch basins at the court house
corner of the park and at the W. w.
Eby corner on First avenue east.
The matter was referred to the sewer
committee.
There are a number of old side
walks in the city that are giving the
councilmen quite a little concern.
There were number of these dis
cussed last evening but at this time
there was no quorum present and no
action could be taken.
Crossing intersections were ordered
in on High avenue west of street.
EIGHTH AVENUE BRIDGE.
The city has been making an effort
for some time to get Eighth avenue
west of Market street opened to the
public. There is difficulty in the
way in tine shape of a deep ravine.
The city worked for long time with
the county supervisors in the effort
to get them to help in the erection of
a bridge at the place but this the
county could not see their way clear
to do They have however, appro-
priated the sum of 5000 and recon-
mended that the raVine be tiled and
filed which the city will proceed to
do. Thirty inch tile are to be used in
the work.
AFTER MORE LIGHT.
The light question was discussed at
considerable length by various mem
bers of the council and it was decided
that there should be an investigation
Of the light systems of several of
Towa's towns made in order that our
own city will better have the power
TO act in the question that will soon
be before them for consideration. The
mayor appointed the following COM
mittees to visit the cities:
Cedar Rapids -Hagan, Neagle and |
Brewer.
Miller, oarlin and Cunning
nam.
Mason oity-Lafollette, Cole and |
Geneva.
After the appointment Of these |
the committee adjourned.

U2y Telegraph to Virginian-P iiot)
London, Nov. 2S.-While the reports
of the condition of Cape Colony are
regarded as somewhat unnecessarily
alarming, there is little disposition to
take too roseatc view of the general
situation. The constant dispatch to
South Africa of reinforcing drafts and
the daily fights at points wide apart,
show that the war is not over, and,
while the statement that Lord Roberts
has demanded 10000 fresh troops Is in
correct. it is fact that he has asked
for 5000 men to replace the battallons,
whose wastage incapacitates them
from duty at the front. These reliefs
will be dispatched. but they will Sc
riously alternate the garrisons of the
United Kingdom. insomuch as Lord
Roberts insists the troops shall be
picked men and have seasoned officers.
