The city council last night held it's
 first meeting since the l6th of Mo- vember but did not find a great deal
 to do even then, save to audit an accumulated heap of bills. Some spice was added to the last half hour of the session by the question of the injunction granted few days
 ago upon petition of the w.. P. & Y, R.. restraining the city from collect ing the taxes levied upon the road in the sum of s76O. MT. Ashley and
 Mir. Snyder were absent, so, when
 the question of hiring q lawyer to to make the fight came to q vote and Shaw and Taylor declared they could not consistently vote for the contest in view of their attitude in
 the first instance, the "ayes" were but rec, Clark, Nye and Shea. The vote had been coupled with the name ,of Barnhill as the lawyer to be en-  gagged in the task. Then Shea want ed to get at the question direct whether there was to be lawyer en. gagged for the purpose at all or not is the city to be sustained in It's claim for the tax? Shaw declared it was not question of the name of a lawyer but that he had opposed the assessment as unfair, he did not believe it could be collected, the levy being made without proof of value as 1t was. Shea asked if the vote would be the same if 1t was known that it would be without expense. Taylor said he could not see how it would be done without expense. Shea

declined to explain what he meant for a time but finally said that he be- lieved there were men in the city who would put up the money to test the question as to whether the rail road or ths reople governed this town.
 "The railroad or the Home Power company. you mean" suggested Shaw He added that none of these con- alterations had anything to do with his attitude. He did not believe the assessment had been properly made,
 Shea gave notice that four mem bers of the council, without regard to the action of the council, could en- gage an attorney to make the con- test
 All this was introduced by the reading of the notice of the courts restraining order.
 The bill of the w. P. 6 Y. for s4OS.35, for water also caused a slight cOmmotion. It was set out that two pumps had been employed during october and for the nineteen days of November until the Home Power water was turned in.
 Shea declared that he was certain,

though he could not prove It, that two pumps were not so employed. He said that the water from the Home Power company pipes had been turned on October 25 and left turned on; that he and several others with him had gone the rounds and tested the pressure from the north end of town. The bill would have to be paid, he said, as there was no proof that the pumps had not been work ing, but there was no need of them and he was convinced they were not. The water had been turned on as test of what was going on. The bill was ordered paid.
 The matter of allowing fire con- pany No. 9 to so ahead with their contemplated improvements was turned over to the fire and water committee with power to act. Frank Grandson, secretary, and Mark Phelps. presented the case of the depart. ment.
 An available cash balance of $4,115.36 was reported In the treas ury.

BATTLE OF SUMMIT SPRINGS.
Indian Warfare to Be Reproduced
 With Buffalo Bills Wild West

The principal feature with Buffalo BHFs Wild West this season is a reproduction of the Battle of Summit
 Springs, one of the deciding conflicts
 in the governments task of subduing
 the redskins. Col. Wm. F. Cody
 C'Buffalo Bnl") participated in the
 original battle on July II, 1869, at
 Summit Springs, near the western
 border of Nebraska. In this battle
 Chief Tall Bull, who was in command
 of the renegade Indians, or Dog
 Soldiers" as they were called, was shot and killed at a distance of about
 forty yards. by Buffalo Bill, who shot him from his horse. This important incident will, of course, be repro duced as a part of the realistic mimic battle. Gen. F. A. Carr who was in command of the government forces; Gen. F. NJ Hayes, Gen. Wm. P Hall, and other officers who participated in the original battle, are still alive and will be impersonated in the battle scene in the Wild West Incidental to the battle scene will be shown many interesting features of Indian life; the erection of an Indian vil- lage will be shown, and incidents of Indian camp-life will be faithfully depicted. The attack by the troops under Gen. Carr will constitute a stirring scene and the rigors of war will be dramatically illustrated. The Battle of Summit Springs, while the chief feature of the exhibition, will by no means constitute the only scene of western life. There will also be The Great Train Hold-Up, showing one of many scenes of Iawlessness which have followed the westward march of civilization, and there will be A Holiday at TIE Ranch, in which there will be blended the pleasures and pastimes of the plainsmen with the horrors of an Indian attack upon the whites. The three big scenic features will be of exceptional in terest because of their historic cor rectness and because of their value as replicas of scenes taken from an eventful period in our nations past The exhibitions of horsemanship by the Rough Rider contingent will form novel and interesting section of the program and at every performance Buffalo Bill will be in the saddle di- recting the entertainment and par ticipating therein.

A NEGLECTED ITEM.

We have failed to discover in either of the publicity statements which have been issued by the democratic national committee. any reference to that little item of S3OO,OOO which Chairman Mack rather boastfully al luded to a couple of months ago as a nest egg of the campaign fund left over after Thomas Taggart's frugal management of the Parker campaign. The country at large is more deeply concerned in the removal of the veil of mystery which hangs about that s9OO,OOO than it is in the sources from which the s22O,OOO accounted for in the publicity statements was de- rived
 We may waive the contention that it is any of the peoples business, where that s3OO,OOO or any of the smaller and subsequent sums came from, but Mir. Bryan has so vehe- mently insisted that the people shall know as well as that the people shall rule" that their curiosity. on this point is justifiable.
 MT. Mack has clouded his original statement in a variety of ways He let it be inferred at first that the S3OOO00 was a recent contribution. But when a suspicion arose that the contributors were not entirely disso- ciated from the Standard Oil company Ga suspicion without perhaps, any reasonable basis), Mir. Mack after a consultation with Bryan hastened to state that it had been left over from the former campaign.
 That statement contributed nothing but gayety to the situation. It was the first scintillating bit of humor that had Illuminated the campaigns Nothing could be funnier than the notion that the Hon. Tom Taggart would let any such sum as that de- scend to a successor. This statement it appears wss intended to pave the way for a further one that the whole thing was a joke; that the $3OO,OOO was purely an invention of a. playful mood.
 That however has not satisfied the curiosity which Mir. Bryan has said is justifiable, and until some definite accounting is made of the nest egg, people will believe that all talk of publicity of campaign contributions is made only for campaign purposes.

NEW REDUCTION woRKs.-Th

Valley Tea and Coffee house has just erected a fine plant for the reduction of coffee from the berries into the con centrates utilized by the best family cooks. After treatment in this mill it is contended that all desirable values can be saved from the concentrates without the use of cyanide or any oth- CT process save good hot water such as mother used to boil. This plant is not as big as some of the gold mills in Arizona but it is big enough and is operated by electric power. There are no taiIings in the product of this mill as the stock in the bins is all well as- sorted, and every ounce of amalgam is good for the regulation quantity of breakfast table coffee.

Goldfeld Review, unless they furnish
the reports of their finances and plans
as requested by the exchange. So far.
only IL companies have returned re-
ports, out of some 200, from which they
were requested. Among those who
have paid no attention to the COM
munication OF the exchange are the
Consolidated, Florence and number of
other big ones. Under theNlaws of the
exchange, the directors may strike from
the boards any company which fails
to make the desired report. The ex-
change desires information as to the
property. finances, officers. etc. OF all
the companies whose stock 1t lists,
both for the protection and informa-
ton of investors. and for the guild

feeling that these data are for the

consider that they are justified in in
