City COunciI Meets.
An adjourned meeting Of the city council
was held last night and several matters OF
importance were disposed OF. Owing to
legal errors in former appointments Mayor
Kelly last night appointed his favorite
library board all over again and the APP
pointments were confirmed. The appoint
ments now will date from the confirmation,
and the board as proposed and managed
by Mayor Kelly can meet and organize es
soon as 1t pleases after the records Of the
meeting have been placed on file by the
city clerk.
"Reddy" Scott, city bill poster, coma
planned that he was not getting business
enough. He further asserted that certain
bill boards in the city were in danger Of
being carried away for kindllng or being
set ahre. His little communication was
carefully sent to the committee on public
buildings. Later on in the session a reso>
luton was passed instructing the city
building inspector to remove all bill boards
now in service in the city which are not
considered stable.
Upon the suggestion Of Johnston the
council elected to borrow 5000 for the pur-
pose Of paying a coupon on a grading dis
trict. This coupon was not included In
the general refunding ordinance for the
reason that nearly all OF the funds for the
payment Of the interest is available. The
loan will therefore be a short-time one.
AS for the acetelyne gas ordinance, Mar
tin reported that he preferred to let the
matter go before the entire council for con-
sideration. Johnston asserted that the
ordinance was defective In that It had
not been drawn by the city attorney and
that it did not specify the time for the
commencement Of the work on the pro-
posed plant. He therefore moved that all
action on the ordinance be deferred inde-
hnitely and this was concurred in by all
members except Miller.
A petition for a FIRE hydrant at Twenty.
seventh and Madison streets was turned
down temporarily for the reason that the
water company has not been able to Sc
cure pipe for the further extensions OF its
mains.
The complaint about the hair fields az
Twenty-seventh and R streets was reported
on by Dworak and the entire matter will
be referred to the sanitary Inspector.
After transacting a little minor bust
ness pertaining mostly to the improves
ments Of streets and sidewalks, the coun-
ell adjourned.
Dogs Are Property.
Some days ago william Bennett caused
the arrest Of Lyman Fuller for killing a
dog valued at 800. The case was tried in
police court yesterday afternoon before n
Jury and the verdict was that the defend
ant was guilty. The jury was composed OF
Harry Menefee. Max Rosenthal, John Trou>
tan. John F. Schultz and e.. l. Howe.
After hearing the testimony and in ad-
dition the showing that the animal was
worth not less than $50, the jury rendered
a verdict finding Fuller guilty and fixing
the value OF the dog at $40.
While Judge King discharged the Jury
he said that he could not go behind the
testimony, which went to show the value
Of the animal, and he therefore entered a
nne of $50 against Fuller. Attorney SUIT
ton Immediately filed a motion for the set
ting aside Of the decision Of the Jury and
the case will be argued later.
This is the first case OF the kind to come
up in police court since the legislature de-
clared that dogs were property.

street. There will be a big hll in the
opening Of this street for a couple OF
blocks" said DR.. McCrann, the president
Of the club. but we are now circulating
a subscription paper for the purpose OF
