WIN Pay or Debt.

At the last meeting of the city
council the clerk was instructed
to confer with some of the hold.
ers of the old dam bonds and find
out what they will take for some
more of the bonds. A short
time ago the city council, acting
under the advice of the mayor,
took up and paid off five thousand
dollars of the bonds, and now
that there is some more avail
able money in the sinking fund
it is proposed to take up and
pay off some more of the debt.
This Is good stroke of business
and will be very much appre-
ciated by the taxpayers.
So far the present city admin
istration has paid off SIS, 500 OF
the city debt, and in a short
time a thousand dollars more
will be paid off.

Case Is Settled.

The case of Jones vs.. Jones,
divorce, was tried in the district
court at Galena last week, and
Mrs. Jones was given a decree
on the grounds of cruelty, al
though that feature of the case
was not proven to the entire sat
isfaction of the court. All other
allegations in Mrs. Jones' petit
tion were stricken from the rec
ords, the court holding that no
showing was made to sustain
them. In the alimony matter,
Mrs. Jones was allowed 81, 900,
payable at the rate of thirty dol
lars per month, and out of the
thousand dollars Mrs. Jones is to
pay her attorney, Ed. Sapp, fifty
dollars.
The defendant tried to COM
promise the case out of court,
and offered the plaintiff 81, 800,
but she refused the offer.
DR.. Jones is again in possession
of his property, and the case Is
at an end, so far as public inter-
est Is concerned. A great deal
has been said, pro and con,
about the case, but when it was
sifted down to its finality, there
was found to be very little in it.

Last Friday night, at Galena,
Fred Davis, a son of H. S.
Davis, one of the Oldest and most
highly respected citizens OF Ga
lena, got a few drinks of cheap
whiskey into him, and securing a
coal chisel and hammer gained
entrance to the Miners State
Bank and tried to drill a hole in
the safe of the bank. He was
discovered by some passersby
who notified the officers, but
they did not know who the fel-
low was. They scared him
away, and while ruHning he was
shot by the officers. That Davis
was either crazy or drunk is
proven by the fact that his pound
ling could be heard for a block.
lin attempting to get away he
was severely wounded, being
shot in the groin. His friends
are sure he was crazy, and he
/ now believes il himself. Ever

The nomination of DR.. Jones
by such a heavy and decisive
vote is a strong endorsement of
his course as mayor. During
his term of Office just closing he
has always watched the affairs
of the city very closely, and has
taken as much interest in them
as he does in his own affairs.
He has made good official, and
during his term more improve
ments have been made than dur.
ing the terms of any ten mayors
who have held Office in this city
yes, more improvements have
been made during his term than
during the entire history of the
city. A great deal of the city
debt has been paid off and wiped
out, and arrangements are now
being made to pay off more of
the debt.
