The mass meeting called BY
members OF the Council and Com
meroial Club to discnss the pro-
posed bond issue at the corner Of
Third and Cbickasha avenue last
night, failed 10 materialiEe, on ac-
count Of the threatened approach
Of a storm. The band fulfilled
its part of the contract, faith
fully, appearing on the street
st 8:15 aud rendering q number Of
inspiring selections. The sky WAS
really very threatening, and the
fierce black clouds which tumbled
over each other in the heavens, to-
gether with the lurid lightning,
thunder and heavy wind, warned
al that q storm was brewing, and
perhaps a cyclone. The threaten
ed danger passed, too late, how
ever to hold the meeting. The
band switched its efforts to the
opera house corner, ard began to
drum up crowd for the show.
The meeting might Just as well
have been neld, for never a drop
Of rain sell that night; the wind
died down and the stars came out.
