The council nesting last night
showed that the city business will not
be conducted in the same "cut and
dried" manner which has been evil
dent during the past year. This
should be to the advantage of the TAX
payers. The Evening News pointed
out before election that a minority
representation was always desirable
in a city governing body. AS the
board is now constituted, there are
three members Watching four and the
four are keeping close tabs on the
actions of the three.

The divorces in the United States
have averaged about 1900 for the past
Is years, and many good people have
become alarmed. Yet this amounts to
only about one per cent. of the mar

the world that people undertake to do
that can show as small a percentage OF

Late last night a crowd OF fearful

II is known. however that the blaze
fiared up first near the lunch counter
forward on the lower deck. Here lamps
oil. and other infiammable materials
were kept.
One statement is that the fire started
from an explosion OF frying fat on 9

Steward McGann discovered the blaze
and at this time the second cabin was

Persons on shore say they heard aT
