CITY COUNCIL
Met Last Night and Trans.
acted Business.

The city council met in adjourned
session at the City hall There was
full attendance of all the concilmen,
except Brunnick
The minutes of the previous meeting
were read and approved.
There was very little BUSINESS to be
considered by the members of the city
board. A few gentlemen were allowed
to address the meeting, and their ap-
peals were mostly referred to the com
mittees under whose jurisdiction they
came.
O. w. Steele wanted to remove the
old building now occupied by the Sen
ate cafe, to some other lots, and the
fire and police board was instructed to
look into the matter.
J. j. Lumsden also wanted to re
move some little structures, which
now stand on COLORADO avenue back of
the postoffice block. The fire and po-
lice committee was also to take charge
of this matter
Mr.. Kizer of the Mesa Lumber Com
pany wanted to connect with the sew
er, being out of the district, and was
given permission TO do so.
W. H. Bergen again brought up the
matter of allowing persons to take
water out of the Farmers ditch,
which he had been ordered to do by
council. Mr.. Bergen objected to let
ting others use the water of the ditch
and the matter was discussed at
length. The street and alley commit
tee was instructed to take charge of
it.
@. L. Bond wanted to build store
room in the rear of his Main street
building and the proper committee
was told to let him know if he could.
w, B. Gokey was appointed ON the
fire department to fill the vacancy by
the resignation of Everett Faulkner
This appointment was only for a
monthly trial.
A sidewalk was ordered laid on the
north and east of the Court house.
This, according to an ordinance ust
be either stone or concrete.

tween Main and Rood.

passed and adopted. This il the ordi-
nance which refers to appropriations.

off. making the position straight sal
ary ono.
Council then adjourned.

Not So Sure.

The Gunnison tunnel is not so sure
of being built after all. Hydrograp-
her Fellows is not at all pleased with
the charges which Hon. Meade Ham
mond makes against him of being in
collusion with William Torrance of
Montrose. to make the government
purchase the power rights of the Gun
nison river, which the said Torrance
filed on. the surveying being done by
Mr.. Fellows. He says it is lie, but
it means that somtehing has gone
wrong which does not show Mr.. Fell
lows in very excellent light.
He has threatened, in an interview
which appeared in the News of Den
yer Yesterday that. the government
would not build the tunnel at all. if
the people of Montrose did not stop
digging up things of the character
that they have.
He also said that the people of Mont
rose would have to assure the govern
ment that it would pay back the cost
of construction. 81, 500. 600 before the
government would build it at all.
The people of this valley are extreme
ly anxious that Engineer Matthes gets
his report in about the survey of this
valley They cannot understand why
the report has been delayed so long.
All the other reports were in long
time ago. 1t is believed when it is
shown that to build the tunnel of the
Gunnison river that it will cost al
most twice as much per acre. as it
would to construct the High Line ca
nal project. that the government may
look at things in a different light.
The scandal regarding Mr. Fellows
connect on with the filing ON the pow
er rights of the river, may initiate
against that project.
1t is to be hoped that under the cir
cumstances that our Chamber of Com
merce will take hold and push the
matter in Washington and go to the
fountain head about the matter. 1t is
generally believed here that Engineer

Held Another Meeting Lasr
Evening.

Another meeting of the Law and
Order League was held lsat night at
the Congregational church 1t was
we'll attended by sprinkling from all
parties except the republican ranks
from which there was large delega-
ton. And as the meeting developed
it became evident that these men were
by no means out of place. For the
Law and Order League appears to be
nothing short of an auxiliary to the
republican party, ruled over very
much by republicans and able to do
nothing that is not republican in fact
{ not in spirit.
After the reading of the minutes by
S ,cretary Martin, discussion arose
as to whether the committee appoint
ed last week to look into the standing
of candidates of all parties had been
instructed to recommend ticket to
the League or simply to refer such
men to the League, as it could consist
emily support. This resulted in the
decision that they had not been ap-
pointed to recommend ticket but to
recommend good names. Following
this, report of this committee was
given by Rev. Becker, one of its
members. Rev. Mr.. Becker said that
certain rules had guided the commit
tee in the selection of men to recon
mend. If q candidate was known to
be receiving the support of the law
hra l. ipcr oil hax trrn
Also. no man holding office in the
present city administration was con-
sidered. And no man who had not
the reputation of being in favor with
the strict enforcement of the law was
recommended Then came the names
den; for city attorney, Mr.. Sloan;
for marshal, Chas Knowles; for JUS
tice of the peace. J. f. Byers for al
derman, LIST ward, H. e. Johnson ; 2nd
ward J. H. Hill and W. S. Phillips;
3rd ward, T. S. Ramey and w. E.
Dudley, and in the 4th ward they
were all recommended as good.
A committee of three consisting of
Messrs. Becker Hampton and Graham
were chosen by the house to examine
the registration books and investigate
all names that looked suspicious. E.
M. Slocomb who was at once the wit
and the disturbing element of the
meeting, asked whether these gentle
men were to receive pay for their SER
vices. George Smith arose and said
that the republican party would see to
it that the men were paid for making
this sort of an investigation. Mr..
Becker said he did not have a great
deal of faith in the republican party
to do such things. AT which Mr.. Slo-
comb rejoined. "Well you and he
others on the committee seemed to
have a great deal of faith in the re-
publican party from the looks of the
list of men that you have recommend
ed to the league for their support to-
night. This speech was loudly ap-
plauded.
The meeting adjourned to convene
at the call of the chair.

In the first opening OF Oklahoma to
settlers in 1889. the editor of this
paper was among the many seekers
after fortune who made the big race
one fine day in April. During his
travelling about and afterwards his
camping upon his ciaim he encoun-
tered much bad water, which. to-
gether with the severe heat. gave him
q very severe diarrhoea, which ii
seemed almost impossible to check,
and along in June the case became
so bad he expected to die. One day
one of his neighbours brought him one
small bottle of Chamberlain's Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy as a
last hope. A big dose was given him
while he was rolling about on the
ground In great agony. and In few
minutes the dose was repeated. The
good effect of the medicine was soon
noticed and within an hour the pa
tient was taking his first sound sleep
for fortnight. That one little bottle
worked a complete cure. and he can
not help but feel grateful. The sea-
son for bowel disorders being at hand
suggests this item. For sale by all
druggists.

1.-THE Deacon's Daughter" a comedy
that made a great hit here last sea-
son, will be the bill for the first half
Of the week. It Is clean. sparkling
and very merry, giving Miss Shirley
fine opportunity to prove her versa
tfIity, which she always embraces IN
all fullness. She will be seen in three
DISCUSSES. which she assumes in
makeup and voice. Her assumption
Of the character of lady's maid is
pronounced very clever. She has a
neat foil in Miss Adams, whose at
tempt to pose as the mistress is very
amusing. Specialties will be intro
duced during the performance.
For the last half Of the week we
will see the company IN the laughahle
farce. 'Thy Neighbours Wife" The
comical situations all arise from the
scheme of a hen-peeked husbands
attempt to take q lady out for a
quiet little time.
