Connci1 Proceedings.

The city council held its reg
ular meeting Monday night, but
nothing of special importance
was given consideration.
A committee from the Citizens s
League asked the council to take
some action to have changes
made Ia the cross walks over
railroads. The present method
of building such crossings makes
them dangerous in rainy or
frosty weather.
The street committee reported
against any changein the present
bicycle ordinence. The same
committee favored the building
Of a sidewalk along the norsh
side of the property Of Mrs.
Wyatt in Wilkins addition.
The chief of police was author
lied to deputize as many special

Lee and J. NJ. Nolan, asking for

centinued until next Monday
night.
Bills were allowed amounting
to $298 on the general and $85

The following communication
from Chief Alexander to the
council was read:
"Genslemen;- Sunday
night the 9th day of October,
1901, the saloon conducted by
Julius Wuestefelat was kept
open from II to 1920 and from
I a. m to 2 a. IN. by Adam Asset.
I was informed Of the foregoing
by the night officer. I went to
the city attorney Monday rlern-
ing October 9TH, 1901, in eem-
pany with the night officer and
requested that he, the city after
ney, prepare the necessary con-
plant in order that the same
might be verified. Various ex-
cuses have been made by the
city attorney under the claim
that he wished to look up the
law. I am unable to prepare
legal papers and am not author
lied to procure an attorney to do
SO. The city attorney refuses to
make out the complaint, and I
therefore bring this matter di-
rectly before you and desire TO
know what I shall do.'
After some littls discussion, a
motion was made to continue the
matter until next Monday night,

given opportunity to reply to the

THE MISSIONARIES IN CHIyA.

the atrocities committed by some OF the allied
troops and hints at others which are indie

therefore sent back by General Waldersee.
