by the following vote: Nays, AL
dermen Kaiser, Cook. Robinson and
Smith; ayes, Aldermen Newman, Dart
and Taylor.
The council then engaged in dis
cussing the license ordinance for
nearly an hour. Mayor Crovatt
stated that the company could be con-
sidered as one show or as half dozen
that they could pay $25 for one Of the
attractions or should they pay $25 for
each
Alderman Smith then took the floor
and thought that the company should
pay $25 for each show every perform
ance, which would probably amount
to three or four hundred dollars daily
Alderman Taylor asked fl circus
that had ever exhibited in the city had
paid an extra license for each side
show, and an extra $25 for perform
ance, which, of course, has never been
done.
Mayor Crovatt then stated that he
thought it would take the opinion of
the city attorney to decide the point
City Attorney Twitty was out of the
city and Alderman Kaiser moved that
an attorney, if necessary, be employ
ed by council and the amount paid
him be charged against the city at
torney's salary; as he was paid by
council to act in such matters. The
motion was not voted upon.
Council, after discussing other
points about the company, adjourned
under the impression that the carni-
val company would not exhibit here
at all, and if it did, 1t would pay $25
for every performance for each show.
However, Manager Berger consulted
several Of his friends in the city, and
it was decided to give all the attract
ions in one big show and to make
the performance a continuous one,
therefore he will be complying with
the license ordinance by paying $25
per day, and the carnival will open
in full force this morning at the above
stated location.

the Decission-General Barry
to be in Command.

Washington, Dec 14-The estab-
iishment of the department OF the
south, with headquarters at Atlanta,
has been finally and officially determin-
ed upon. The former has not yet
been issued, but this is mere formaltiy.
The general staff has recommended
it and the secretary of war has given
his approval.
The order will be issued in the
very near future as soon as the as
Signment of officers is de termined
upon. That this was sure to come
was some time since predicted in the
dispatches. The delay in reaching
a decision is due to the fact that the
general staff has had under considera-
ton a lumber of changes in the ex-
listing plan of division of the military
departments, and it was impossible
to cettle one thing until all were
determined.
A final decision was reached on Fri
day, but the fact has just became
known, the official purpose being to
keep 1t secret until the formal or
dars were ready.
Under the plan adopted there are
to be five divisions OF the army with
twelve departments, instead of the
present eleven departments. This
provision for the five divisions is
new.
An Effective Arrangement.
1t is believed that the creation of
I these divisions, each to contain cne
oi more departments, and to be com
manded ty a major general, will be a
, more elective and more nearly per

Ranchers Celebrate

At Tulare, California, on Saturday
last, there was a great gathering of
the people, a barbecue, and much
matchmaking, to celebrate the '-burn-
ing of the bonds The bonds repre-
sented debt of 100000 which was in
Cured for the irrigation works of the
Tulare district, several years ago. The
debt has been paid, and the people met
to rejoice. Governor Pardee touched
a lighted match to the cancelled bonds,
ard as the debt of three-quarters of a
million went up in smoke. there was {,
great shout.
A little more than ten years from
now, there will be similar celebration
at Phoenix. The people of the Salt
River valley will meet to celebrate the
payment of the final installment on the
cost of the Tonic Basin reservoir, and
they will celebrate their coming into
the actual ownership of the greatest
free from debt.
And, happily. while the ranchers of
this valley have Assumed n debt far
greater thar that paid by the ranchers
of Tulare, the Salt River valley is
much ADLER than the district G: Tulare
to shoulder such burdens.
