All was quiet in the city yesterday
and little gossip could be heard. The

for a topic. The city building seemed
to have been dropped, the murder

hearing and the city was quiet, al
though for the past few days they
have been busy talking about city af-
fairs. Even politics has been quiet
and the candidates are only hustling
on the quiet, but with all this city is
extremely dull for news.
