JOY! ON, JOY!
All Members Meet in Counei
TueSda, Night.

All members Of the city council
were on deck TUESDAY evening
when Umpire King called time
unless &. u. Edwards may hc still
termed a member of the board. H.
was off on timber buying Nicli-
ton.
Mayor King had resignation
from Mr.. Edwards Ut although
i, was the one which he had en-
gagged Attorney Greene to write for
him and the one he had mailed on
his trip-thcre was no signature
affixed. Several of the board, while
they did not doubt the resignation
or doubt the intention of Mr.. Ed
wards TO resign, did not like the
idea of acting upon all unsigned
document: and would allow no
action to be taken.
The original resignation, still in
possession Of the officials, was then
presented. This bore the proper
signature and was genuine beyond
any dispute: but the board as a
whole would not consider it.
1t was moved that Mr.. Edwards
be dismissed from the council and
be declared not a member-but
when the vote was taken only three
members voted. These were Messrs.
Lindquist, Peterson and Thompson.
Messrs. Leggett, Brice and Shields
refused to vote but Mayor King
considered the vote a legal one and
declared Mr.. Edwards no longer a
member of the board.
Some talk then followed regard
ing the matter--until Mr.. Brice
arose and assured the members that
he was willing to consider all other
matters of business and to do the
best things possible but that it was
foolish to fritter away the time of
the council considering the Edwards
matter. He desired to see the
matter and all things pertaining to
II shown up in full.
The matter of the ferry franchise
was then brought up and the busi-
ness was referred TO the Street and
Dock committee--Messrs. Leggett,
Lindquist and Shields. This COM
mittee was ordered to fully investi.
gate and report, with a proper
ordinance, at the next regular
meeting.
A communication from Judge
Webster, OF the county court,
showed conclusively that the county
commissioners would do their share
in caring for the tiny length of the
county highway where IL extended
upon the Burlington street improve
men, but the contractors at the
present time are making no efforts
TO work upon the same.
II was suggested that the con.
tractors were anxious TO dispose of
the contract-and Il was also sug-
gested that the 81. Johns Sand and
Gravel Company was willing To
assume the said contract; but no
actual steps regarding the matter
were taken.
The sewer for relief OF the West
Coast Laundry was discussed at
some length. There is a general
iesire upon the part OF the council

The Polar Cap of Mars.

Recent telescope observations at
Flagstaff observatory. Arizona. of Mars
have given the best delineation yet OBJ
tanned of the fiery planets north polar
cap. Since September last this forma-
ton of snow over the planets pole has
been frequently seen under varying de-
gress of visibility. At times it has
been obscured by an extensive veil of
a dull white color, apparently a veil of
haze or cloud. In January the cap was
brilliant and conspicuous, surrounded
by white collar, which, however, some
months later disappeared.
In reporting these observations Mr..
Percival Lowell states that the collar
is best explained by supposing it to be
a spring haze surrounding the snow cap
during the hotter months of its melting.
That it was this and not the snow cap
itself is evidenced by its lack of defin-
tie boundary. The cap is girdled during
it's contraction by. blue belt. doubtless
due to the material formed by its melt
ing, which. as Mr.. Lowell says, can be
none other than water from among all
the substances we know.
Brilliant projections above the termi-
nator of Mars were first discovered at
the Lick observatory in 1890, and subse-
Quent observations Of the polar CAPS

same with women and dogs. Men like
dogs, but would not give them the
same attention as women do"
Though the best time of the year
for catching purposes is the first two
weeks in May. an idea may be given
of the number caught when it is told
that on April II Mr.. Mason caught
twenty-six snakes, all told. Some of
them were four feet long.
When brought to Boston the snakes
are put into a large packing case COW
cred with a wire netting. Here they
are fed, great care being taken to give
them plenty of water.
On dark days Professor Mason kills
those best suited to his taste-that is,
the ones that will bring him the most
profit.
The poison taken from them is bot
tied UP, and later sold to colleges at a
tied up and labeled, to be used later
for the edification of students.
When the proper kind are caught
they are fattened and killed for oil.
The latter is used for many things,
mostly for beaudfying- purposes, after
it is made into a cream for the skin.
Large bull snakes. those weighing
eight pounds, will give four ounces of
oil. If caught in the fall a fair sized
snake will have enough fat to keep it
alive for nine months. and this fat can
process. The bull snake oil is the best
kind.
It's skin is worth 81. the oil is worth
81 and the states where they are
caught give a bounty of 81 for each
one killed. The eastern market Sc
cures them for the price that the oil
and skin would bring.-Boston Globe.

An American Woman in Paris.

An American woman just off the
steamer told US yesterday her expert
ence in Europe. 1t was her first trip.
The experiences were in clothes,
though she did have something to say
about life at Rome and Nice. ''I stood
up for dressmakers in Paris till 1 was
ready to drop. There's no use talking,
the best dressed women over there are
Americans, and the best fitting dresses
are made in this country. In Paris
they wanted to pinch my waist and to
make my dresses skin tight. I used to
stuff myself before trying on so J
should have room to breathe in after
ward. Don't talk to me about the
beauty of French women! They are
all well made up. painted horrid
creatures. But the worst dressers are
the English and the Germans Talk
about sights! Deliver met" Thus did
this fair creature rattle on while we
were waiting to hear her views on wo-
mems clubs in Paris and the gradual
emancipation of the oppressed sex on
the continent. We waited in vain.-
