Other Council Proceedings.

The city council met in special ses-
sion Monday evening for tne consid-
Grafton of several matters which could
not wait until the regular meeting
two weeks hence.
The matter OF bids for the city
sprinkling was first taken up. Six
bids were read but the council decid-
ed that the bid of Ed. Stacey was the
most favorable for the city and was
accepted. Stacey agrees to furnish
man and one team every day. to be
used on the street sprinkler when
necessary and when not needed there
to be at the service of the city to do
anything that may be required of
them. The salary will be 500 per
month.
John l.. Raw was appointed by the
mayor to succeed Jcff Sherman as
nightwatchman and the appointment
was unanimously confirmed. The new
officer went on shift last night.
The petition of A. Fransetti for n
permit to add second story to the
building now occupied by the Bernard
Mcdonnell buffet, said second story
to be built of stone and brick. was
referred to the building committee.
Tubbs Bros. contractors, were
granted a permit to erect, for +. Cliff
ford Wilson, a two-story stone build
ing on Fourth avenue. said building
to be known as the postoffice building.
The action OF the street and alley
committee in purchasing a street
sprinkler for the city of Lewistown
and ordering a warrant drawn to pay
for the same was unanimously rati-
fed. Upon motion carried $3.50 was
transferred from the general fund 10
the water works fund.
In the matter of removing dirt and
gravel from the lot OF L. W. Warren
and filling in the coulie which crosses
Seventh avenue. nearly opposite the
court house, the street and alley COM
mittee was ordered to examine into
the feasibility of the project, and, II
they thought advisable, to order the
dirt hauled across the street.
Considerable discussion ensued rela-
tive to bonding the city for an amount
sufficient to complete the water exten'
sisns. put in sewer system and
erect a city hall. While not wishing
to act precipitately, the council wish
es to get the matter before the peo
pie as soon as possible as the sewers
are badly needed and the extension
of the water system little less urgent
The first step to be taken towards
bonding the city is the drawing up OF
an ordinance and agreeing upon the
same in the council. But as the city
attorney was absent from town that
could not be done. In order to gel
the matter started. however Alder
man Symmes made a motion that the
matter of bonding the city for $4,000
for the water extensions and sewer
age system, and for $4,000 for Tho
erection OF a new city hall with ampl,
room for the fire department supplies
he referred to the finance and thu
water and sewerage committees, the.
to act jointly towards getting tn,
proposition before the citizens. Th'
motion was carried unanimously anC
il the city attorney gets home thi
week. as is expected. another meet
ing will probably be called for th'
last of the week.

THE SALT IN THE SEA.
Some Interesting observations on
One of Natures Wonders.


One of Natures Wonders.
The very fact that the waters of
oceans are salty is Il wonder within IL
self That such is the case everybody
knows, but why? Rivers are not salt,
neither are some of the very largest
Of inland seas, yet one school of scien-
lists will tell you that these same seas
Qakes) are the remains of what was
once universal ocean, that there was
once an upheaval of the land and that
all the waters settled in basins except
that which drained off. If this Is a
fact. why are these lakes or seas now
fresh? Don't tell me, says an investi-
gator. that ii is because they have been
evaporating through the long centuries
and that the vacancy has been sup
piled by fresh waters from rivers.
Great Salt lake is no less salty now
than 1t was 5000 years ago and prob
ably great deal more so.
The water of the Caribbean sea is
dense compared with that of the At
lantic in the vicinity OF the Cape Verde
Islands, the proportion being eleven to
twenty-one. Why is this? 1t is GER
tainly fact that they are both Of one
body of water. The variety of saline
matter found in all sea water is univer-
sally the same. There is another fact
which should be mentioned while we
are classifying sea watcr-that Is this:
When the saltness OF oceans is refer
red to. II must not be understood as be-
ing the table salt Of commerce (chlo-
ride of sodium, for there are many
other salts in the solution. Expert by-
drographers tell us that there are
enough Of these various salts held in
suspension in the waters of the oceans
to cover the whole landed surface OF
the globe to depth OF 1900 feet-in
other words, that there is G0,000,O00,
O00. 100000 tons so held in suspension.
The sea is salt by reason Of the earth
washings which are poured into it.

BY Mozart.

The average compositor has a most
intense dislike for contractions and
rarely puts one in his pages when it
can be avoided. When he and the re-
porter disagree as to the meaning of
some abbreviation. the result is some
times amusing.
A good example of this occurred in
southern city where popular touring
orchestra was giving Sunday night
concert. Naturally their selections were
principally of sacred character. Next
morning the Daily - announced:
"The second part opened with
splendid rendition of the Overture
From the Twelfth Massachusetts, by

In the first year Of the last century
London affected great admiration for
Cato's suicide, the feeling being arous-
ed by Addison's play. A gentleman
named Budgell. after witnessing its
performance, threw himself into the

United For ST. LOUIS.

Advancement cannot proceed when the vital forces
Of Il city are divided and when energetic public Off
Gals whose attainmentS are Indicative of high capaci-
" are made the excuses for fractional differences.
Two factors have made progress a reality in ST. Louis
and harmony must continue TO exist amCng these
factors in order that municipal betterment may 20 in
the course defined. What has been 50 far done is the
result of popular acticn for good government and the
work of reform officials. These factors must remain
associated for further and greater good.
The citizens have .beheld n wonderful change in
public affairs. They put in office men of repute who
were pledged 10 policies of reform. They were dis
Eusted with misrulc and corruption. They desired n
reconstruction Of the government. The officials whom
they elected have done far more than they promised
10 do for the good OF all. They have spared no effort
in keeping faith with the people. Consequently. this
city now has 4 government that is reliable and COM
petent ard that has the full confidence OF the respect
able element of citizenship.
81. Louis would suffer great injury II the work Of
these officials were to lie DISTRACTED, or II these Of
ficials were TO be made the centers Of warning fac
tons Of ambitious politicians.
Political intrigues have no place in municipal at
fairs. The city's future would be darkened If gen
eral Improvement were to give way to personal rival
ries. Wrangling Of this sort stops progress and dis
turbs the harmony OF citizenship necessary for ef-
fective action toward advancement.
The achievements Of incumbent officials. including
all branches of the government. in the past two years,
have come as the result of harmony among the vari-
Gus forces that are moving and striving for better |
conditions. This harmony is essential for the at
tainment of greater things for the city and the cIti- |
zens, and the people should show that they demand
singleness of purpose.
Important and effective as are the accomplishments
of the past two years, they are harbingers of still
greater success in improving the city and establish
Ing more salutary and more agreeable conditions.
The work in prospect requires much skill, much
Judgment, much sacrifice. much courage. 1t is more
important in every respect than the important work
that has been done. Therefore, officials on whom the
onerous bur inspiring duties will fall should receive
warm and strong support from all citizens. All fac
tors should unite and work in harmony for the better
ment and greater prosperity Of the city. Put n pen
on faction and act in harmony for the New st.
Louis.

CORRUPTION AT ITS WORST.

One glance at the record of Brooklyn, Ill, must
$onvince Northern opponents OF negro control in gov
&riment of the fallacy Of their contentious. Affairs
in that town have reached q not illogical crisis which
demonstrates that the negro has not yet advanced to
a point where he is capable of managing his own or
his white ~neighbors' public concerns. The account in
last Sundays Republic set forth the details.
iT Brooklyns population OF a thousand is composed
almost wholly of negroes. They are of the average
character and capacity Of the United States negro.
neither better nor worse. The functions Of govern
ment are confined exclusively TO their hands. For
many years they have done with themselves as they
pleased. Only one thing they have omitted to do in
connection with local afairs-bear the expense of gov
eminent The records show that not q negro in the
township has ever paid a cent of personal tax.
The Mayor and Street Commissioner have been
sent to the Chester Penitentiary on charges Of mis-
conduct. AS they left the Relay Depot they were
cheered by a mob of enthusiastic admirers. who as
-sured them that when their sentences should be fin
