Patsy, the most accomplished parrot
in the world. is missing. and there is
a reward out for his recovery, a sub
stantial one If alive and recompense
even for his dead body. Anyone con-
fronted with a green and yellow parrot
with red top knot, possessing unusual
accomplishments along gynnastic and
vocal lines, will not only reap a
monetary harvest for bringing him
back to the American Travesty stars
Company but will earn the everlasting
gratitude of Harry James and the rest
of the brilliant company whose
achievements are only overshadowed
by Patsy.
Patsy is no ordinary parrot. His
sayings are not mere echoes, they are
apropos and he is always ready with
repartee that discounts even his
master on occasions. He is gymnast
also of the first order and if he was
only big enough to make a showing
could command big salary as a
vaudeville artist. Then he has an
other talent never known TO be possess
ed by another bird. He chews gum,
literally takes the tasteful mastic and
rolls 1t under his tongue until he has
a wad of plastic material that will
last him all day unless he is disturbed.
Then, so says the story he carefully
deposits his bum on his perch and talks,
back at his interfupter. He has yet
another charm, he is the mascotte of
the American Travesty Stars and if
he is lost in Hawaii the Weberfieldians
will feel that they have made but a
poor beginning of their triumphal Aus
tra1asian tour.
Patsy's troubles began on Wednesday
morning when the Sierra fiocked. a
member of the company started to
carry Patsy down the gang plank in
his cage when a customs officer, intent
on his duty, stopped the movement.
you can't bring that bird ashore
here" said the guard why not"
asked the Thespian. What's the mat
ter?' said Patsy.
.sI'hat may be one of those blooming
mutton BIRDS said the customs man,
"and we don't want any more Of them
Brigham birds around here"
Mutton bird be bowed. replied the
actor This is member of the Amer
lean Travesty Stars. He's the whole
show Kolb gets all his inspirations
from this bird. You can't stop Patsy.
No bird no show
What does he do in the shown
asked the official, who had tickets for
tonight and didn't want to miss any
thing.
t.Acts as call boy. prompter and
chaperon to the chorus ladies' an
swered the actor man. He's one of
the company; you can't stop him. :"
And Patsy came ashore.
But some one, attracted by the
talents of Patsy who is. it is said. the
original model of the talking parrot
in the San Francisco Sunday colored
has annexed the cage and
Patsy, and there is mourning in the
company. They are afraid his present
owner will not know how to treat him
and may even refuse him gum. The
reward will be liberal one, however,
as all the company are willing to chip
in a dollar apiece if Patsy comes to
their ranks again.

Still he listened quietly while she poured forth the
entire story of her wrong doing; but as ne saw how
thoroughly both women had been taken in by this

him and he shook from head to foot. Only once he
spoke when Susannah saying intensely: " |

Item will venture the ass on thatis
there has probably never been a seas

city that the streets have been: so; hard

The continuous down-pour Of rain
coming as it did ON top of the exceed.
lngly heavy rainfall of 1902 made it
almost impossible to repair our streets
IN the manner which has ALWAYS, been
In vogue here, with any degree of
Permanency, and the day is not far
distant when this city will, be obliged
10 adopt more permanent method of
caring for it's streets.
Since April 10th the control and
care ot..our park system has been
vested with the park board. From
their report it would seem that they
have wisely expended the small fund
allowed them and trust that with the
future prosperity of our city,, this de.
partment will receive the hearty CO.
operation of our citizens that, it 40
richly deserves.
The board of water, electric, gas
and power commissioners has been in
existence little less than. a year.
These gentlemen have certainly given
freely of their time and experience
and While they have had many intri-
cate and some unpleasant matters to
contend with, feel that OUR citizens
should feel highly gratifed at the ex-
cellent showing they have made. I
venture the statement that there is no
city in the state of the relative size of
Austin that owns and operates as
complete an electric light and water
plant as does this city. We have a
large amount of money invested in
this property and it is only by the
most careful business management
that this department can be success
fully maintained.
Our volunteer fire department is
one which do not believe is excelled
IN any city of this state and one which
every citizen may feel justly proud,
and [ believe that every encourage
ment and financial aid should be given
the members Of this department..
The city, fortunately, has not been
called upon 10 make very large ex-
penditure during the past year in it's
health department.. The care of con-
tagious cases costing us $748.33. The
city should own d Detention hospital,
either by itself or jointly with the
county,? This department is very
greatly hampered by the lack of not
having a convenient place for pro-
perly caring for such cases.
In concluding I wish to thank the
members of this council, the heads of
the various departments, the city Of
ficers, and members of the boards for
the kind and courteous treatment in
variably accorded me during the past
year.

REPORT OF MAYOR TO COUNCIL

REPORT OF MAYOR 10 COUNCIL.
GENTLEMEN:-
February 20 last closed the fiscal year
Of 1903-'04. The Treasurer, Record
er, Heads of Departments and Boards
have furnished you with a detailed
statement showing receipts, disburse-
ments and the general condition Of
their several departments. These re-
ports are complete in every way and
show to the people of our city just
what has been done by this council
and the several boards.
At the commencement of the fiscal
year there was a bonded indebtedness
of $780, 900 and floating debt, Cor in
other words, unpaid interest bearing
orders amounting to $34, ,078.58 of this
amount SIS, 5,o53.45 were issued in 1902
in aid of the Southern Minnesota Nor
NAL College, leaving $19, ,025.13 in ord
ers issued by previous councils, the
greater part OF which was for per-
lnsnent improvements made in our
WAGER and light plant. III
At the present time the outstanding
interest bearing. orders amount to
331, ,617.71 being -, 2,460.S7 less than 1t
the beginning of the year. 1t would
seem to me to be good business policy
to issue bonds, bearing 41-2 or per
cent interest and take up all interest
bearing orders excepting the 80 called
College orders and establish bond
fund with an extra yearly assessment
OF, say $4,000 each year until these
bonds have been paid. This method
would not only be a saving in interest
but it would place this indebtedness in
form 50 as not to hamper future ad-
ministrations. ...=.y Y n
We have expended on our streets
the sum Of $6,755.47, of this amount.
81, 1864 was for permanent improve
ments, such as stone and cement
crossings, the stone wall at Bridge
street bridge and filing at Bridge
street and. Dobbins Creek bridges.

REPORT OF CITY ATTORNEY.
To the Honorable Mayor and Common
Council of the City of Austin.
l beg to hand you herewith a report
OF work in the Legal Department. of
the City for the year now ending.
1t ls not my intention to take UP
your time with detailed report of all
the petty matters which have come
be1ore my attention, such as the po-
lice court cases, different questions
arising by reason of the institution of
the various boards under the new
Charter, some school matters. etc. /
shall simply touch upon the moro i'm
portant matters and give you brief
statement of what has been done and
what disposition has been made of the
matters of particular and general in
terest, which have come before me.
A great many questions have arisen
from time to time under the new char.
ter and the construction of it's various
provisions has been source of con-
stant speculation. The new and di-
versitied duties of the different ofic-
ials and the various Boards have re-
quired great deal of Investigation
and explanation, but like any new
machine, a liberal application of legal
lubricant has set it in smooth working
order andl am happy to say that at
the present time, with the hearty CO.
operation OF the various city officials
and departments each seem to thor
oughly understand their respective
duties, and everything is working
harmoniously., Undoubtedly there are
opportunities for amendment, but time
and experience will best point ont
where the amendments should be
made. With only one years trial + am
not at the present time prepared to
suggest anything. We can at best say
that our experience has been but q
matter of experiment. and before do
ing any tinkeringI l should recommend
at least that we wait until our previ-
OTIS experience, under The new char
