Action Rescinded " Would Have
Outside Commission Named.

Al the meeting Of the city council
last evening one or two of the alder
men engaged in personalities over
questions that came up.
The council was precipitated into a
heated debate when Aid. Trenkenschuh
asked for a reconsideration Of the re
port of the joint committee of the last
meeting. in reference to the junketing
trip Of the council for the purpose Of
inspecting various pumps with view
to purchasing new 5000, 00o-gallOn
high duty pump for The city. Aid.
TrenkenSchuh took the stand that the
council, in making such a trip, would
spend the city's money uselessly. He
held that the aldermen are not compe-
tent to judge OF a pump, and proposed
that. instead of having the council 90

said that if the city could not pay the
expense of the trip. they themselves
would do so. Aid. Eckhart said that

the proud boast of Santa Annals host
until it's echoes rebounded from hill to
hill down the wooded glens of Buena
Vista's historic fields. He was pa
triarch in Israel, christian soldier,
with a well rounded life. ripe in knowl-
edge. full of years. He had passed the
scores of years allotted to man, crown
ed with honors. 1t could be said of
him: he was an honest man, one OF
those rare. sturdy characters which
men of all ages cannot fail to admire.
He sprang from a race of soldiers,
which he in turn perpetuated. He oc-
cupied a unique position in life. He
was not only a veteran himself, but
also the son of a veteran; and also at
the same time he was the sire of a val
liant. patriotic son, who. as a boy
showed his lineage on the firing line in
the same war with his father and
grandfather from 1861 to 1865.
Be it Resolved, That we, his com
rades, of John Buford post bow our
heads in sorrow, ~ submission to the
divine will. We recognize that in his
death this post has lost its oldest and
one of its most hunored and respected
members: the nation. brave defend
er: a veteran Of TWO wars land this
community a law-abiding citizen, a
good neighbor in sickness and distress;
his children, Il kind and indulgent
father whom they all loved. Farewell,
cOmrade, your race has been run;
your warfare is over; you have laid
down to sleep, as YOU have done before
after a weary march or after passing
through the stormy scenes on the bat
tlefeld; you have won the laurels and
are entitled to the crown of glory.
And as long as John Buford post re-
tains its charter and has member
left. we will venerate and honor the
name and memory OF Uncle Billy Bru-
ner. And. be it further
Resolved, That a page Of our rec
ord book be set aside and inscribed TO
his memory. and that this post room
be draped in mourning for a period of
so days. and that the adjutant make a
copy of these resolutions and send
them 10 the family of our deceased
cOmrade and have them published in
the daily papers.

ENGAGEMENT Friday Night.
weeks.

Engagement Friday NIght.
1t might have been Friday night, the
18th, or it might have been the cold
weather, but in any event something
was responsible for the Disappointing
ly small audience that was present at
the Odeon last evening to witness the
annual engagement of Mr.. Charles b.
Hanford. Mr.. Hartford is appearing
this season in a revival of the roman
tic comedy "Don Caesar De Bazan,"
strong story of Spanish court life,
adapted for the English stage by G. A.
A'Becket and Mark Lemon.
Mr.. Hanford has been seen to adj
TONS and his name is a guarantee or
excellence in anything pertaining to
the drama. His present season pro-
duction is a magnificent one, and to
many his departure from Shakespeare
will appeal to strongly, altho there
could have been no criticism of his
last seasons Richard I'LL" his Tam
ing Of the Shrew," of the season be-
fore, of his "Othello' end others of
the legitimate school. There is spir-
it of recklessness, however, in the
character Of Don Caesar, combined
with chivalry and romance that strikes
a popular chord and for this reason
Mr.. Hanford is reviving Salvinis for
mer success.
Mr.. Hanford has surrounded himself
with strong support, which is headed
by Miss Marie Drofnah, who in private
life is Mrs. Hanford. Miss Drofnah is
very pleasing in the roe of Mariana,
the dancing girl. Mr.. Frank Hennig, in
the despicable character of Don Jose,
is also prominent in Mr.. Hanford's
support, and is very strong.
