BOND ORDINANCE DELAYED.
Important Measure Will Have to Lay
Over Until Thursday.

The failure of select council to meet
on Thursday night put back the bond
ordinance a considerable length of
time. 1t was the original intention to
have this measure pass two readings
on Thursday night and then to call a
special meeting for Friday night to
have it pass third and final reading.
Council does not meet again now
until next Thursday night, when the
ordinance will come up. 1t is impor-
tant that it be passed Immediately, as
a number of sewer ordinances are al
ready passed and bids cannot be ad-
vertised for until the bond issue Is
authorized.

The unwritten laws of society are
constantly changing. 20
At dinner small differences are
more observable than at large and
less smart functions, and there are
many little things that it behooves an
aspirant or debutante to remember,
says the New York Tribune. Women
should not rise when man Is in
troduced to them; and they should
also remain seated when an acquaint-
ance greets them, putting out their
hands to be shaken. OF course in the
case Of hostess or Of an old or par
ticularly distinguished person this is
different. A hostess will receive all
her guests standing and do all she
can to show polite hospitality, even
accompanying them to the door of the
when bidding them goodby.
One Of the problems Of modern So
cial life is the wedding present, which

Ingenious: Tipplin6.


A most ingenious and laughable plan
was that evolved by inmates at the
Oneida county home to outwit the su-
perinteaient. ri.
When they have hard colds, they are
given bottle Of cough strip, which is
made at the home in large quantities,
containing rum and .molasses. One Of
the inmates devised a scheme whereby
he could extract the rum from the mo-
lasses, so that he could get the rum out
without communicating his stomach with
the molasses. He placed the bottle on
the window sill In the sun and discover
ed that the molasses came to the top,
leaving the rum at the bottom.
Procuring straw at the barn, he in
serted it in the bottle below the molasses
and proceeded. to drink the rum from
the bottom Of the bottle.-Utica IN. ~

two Mississippi & Rum River Boom
men, at the Columbia hotel Tuesday
evening. They were busy discussing
the ~ rk OF the company and as
the pencil pusher was on the alert
for any kind OF o news Item he se-
cured permission to enter the CON
yersation. Mr.. Webb said the boom
company IL more than pleased with
the present condition OF the various
streams for handling logs. The pres
ent stage ofwater is the best it has
ever been this season and in fact sis
even better than it was at any time
last year. The current Is not too
swift for properly handling the logs,
which it undoubtedly will be II much
more rain falls. 4. ~ : .... ..$: st1;,EE&;
Mr.. Murphy is shaking hands with
himself over the success he and his
men are having in sorting the logs
above the city. Where the present
gaps are located few inches differ
ence in the heightof the water makes
a great difference in the current. but
every thing, he says. is Just right
now. The boom company handled
596, 000, 900 logs in 1899. Up to Ahg.
l, this year, they were $4,000, 900 be-
hind in the amount of logs handled
as compared to Aug. /, last year.
Before the season closes Mr.. Webb
says the company will have handled
a much greater number OF logs than
they did last year. Xxx = VII
Loggers are just q little worried
over the possibilities of getting logs
out of the smaller streams and
brooks. There are about 800, 000, 900
feet OF logs in the various brooks In
the northern part Of the state and
they have rather a doubt as to
whether there is sufficient water to
properly handle them. At present
there 5000, 900 feet of logs in Min
neapolis booms. The last drive
which passed through Little Falls is
nine days out of here and two days
from Minneapolis. This drive
made up OF fifty men. Mr.. Webb exs.
poets to start a big drive from Brain
erd about Sept. l. There will be a
large amount of logs to bring down
at that time and he Intends to make
