Ho uodIu ol HHduce met yeSter~ day afternoon, Mayor Thoms presid- Ing. The report of the department of education regarding teachers sal- aries for the coming year was read and laid on the table with the un- derstanding that the clerk will send each member a copy of the paper.
 Joseph P. Kennedy, a teacher at the high school, was heard with reference to bill of $100 for extra service rendered by him during the past term, the work being performed by him on request of his superiors and with the understanding that he should be paid. He had acted in good faith in this matter and had no idea that there would be any feeling over 1t until to-day when he learned that if he should receive ad- ditional compensation others would ask some. too.
 The bill was approved by Super intendent Tinker and Walter E. Monagan, chairman of the commit tee on text books. The following communication was then read
 If the extra sum of $1s is to be given to MT Kennedy for teaching six periods day, we, the under signed, would like to make applica- tion for the same amount for the same extra work.
 "EDMEE PRETAT,
 CAROLINE L. ERNESTY,
 HARRIET. E. ABBOTT"
 Commissioner Scully said if these teachers had no reason to give for asking extra compensations than that stated in this communication they ought to be ashamed of them selves.
 Mir Kennedy's bill was approved by the superintendent, but theirs came in without any indorsement. He moved that the communication be referred to the board of educa- tion for investigation and report. The motion was carried.
 Commissioner Kelley of the de- partment of education appeared and extended an invitation to the board to visit the high school during school hours before the close of the term. It was voted to make call luCIC dDOul OV " GlOCh luCnu6y forenoon. In reference to MT Ken- nedy's bill MT Kelley said he be- lieved that the service was rem dered honestly and that he saw no reason why there should be the slightest objection of paying for 1t. The matter was referred to com mittee consisting of Commissioners Scully and Chase for investigation and report. The bond of Police Officer Grady, Thomas Shannahan as surety. was approved.
 City Treasurer Edward L. Futile reported a balance on hand of $780, 614.52 after paying vouchers amounting to $159,964.42 during the month. The collections amount ed to $377 ,S05.S2. Of these Tax Collector Francis !. Reeves turned in the following amounts:

Advertising banners that went up on
the trolley supports during the night
came down this morning.
Between midnight and daylight this
morning men in the employ of the
carnival company hung banners from
the trolley supports on Front street
and also on several of the electric
arches on that street.
A number of these advertising de-
vises still remain, but the larger num-
Der were removed this morning. The
signs were taken down, however, not
from any regard for the dear public,
but because they were hung inside
the insulations.
The circus signs that have rendered
Front street unsightly for several days
past suffered in the storm this after
noon, and the signs on the trolley sup
ports and arches were also put to the
bad. But perhaps new signs will be
procured.

Along the Great Western
A correspondent writes as follows:
The result of Saturday nights storm
through Spring Valley, Ostrander and
LIE Roy is one of the most peculiar
ever seen. For three miles east and
west of Ostrander there is not leaf
to be seen on any tree and hundreds
of trees in the distance look to be
covered with snow caused by the
bark being peeled off from the top
branches clear down to the ground.
The country for miles around has
the appearance of midwinter. 1t is
a sight almost Incredible to believe
unless seen.
There are scores of farm houses
along the Great Western road That
were beautiful by fine shady groves
and now there is not leaf left
The, shingles on many farm houses
and out buildings are battered to a
pulp. Scores of windows are boarded
up the window panes having been
blown out.
The Great Western depot at Os-
trsnder is damaged. The paint on the
elevator there was removed by the !
hail. Hail stones were piled two feet
deep on the depot platform. Small
grain and corn for miles around Isl
ruined. A cloud burst has resulted in
putting the farm lands under water.
