Council to Meet

The first meeting of the new
council will be held next Tues
day evening at the City Clerk s
office. There are a number OF
important matters in connection
with the organization which will
come up at that time. The most
important being the appolntm ent
of several officials, including
Chief of Police, patrolman. Street
Com missioner, City Clerk, Engi-
neer at the city building, health
officer, poundmaster, etc. There
are a mum Der of applications for
each position. Mayor elect Her.
ing will then take hold of the
city government. That there
will be no friction between the
mayor and the council is certain,
both mayor and councilmen are
men of Judgment and we shall be
very much surprised if harmony
does not prevail. Thenew mayor
may be somewhat inexperienced
in the affairs of city government,
but no one who knows him doubts
his ability to grasp the situation.
He will never do an Intentional
wrong. 1t is the duty of every
citizen to hold up his fiaads, that
the administration of the affairs
of the city may be supported and
that the mayor may receive that
help which he is rightfully en-
titled to.

Wa shburn Elevator is to be
Dismantled.
Workman now Taking out all
the Heavy Machinery
in Plant.

The Washburn elevator which
was erected by the Omaha peo-
pie in this city over twenty years
ago, is to be torn down. This has
been decided by the Omaha Of
icials and unless they change
their views on the matter very
shortly, the elevator which has
in the past done so much busl-
ness, will within a short time be
a thing of the past. John Lar
son of Spooner now has crew
of men at work at the plant TAX
ing out all of the machinery and
as soon as this is completed the
work of tearing down the ele-
vator will be begun. The Wash
burn elevator has in it's time
handled an immense amount OF
grain. being operated for years
by the Nye-Jenks people. They
moved from this city about three
years ago and since that time
the elevator has remained idle.
just what the site of the ele-
vator will be used for is a matter
of some doubt. Rumor has it
that the Dynamite people are
figuring on this site for erecting
a store house for the material
used at the dynamite plant, but
as yet nothing definite has been
decided upon although the mat
ter is now under advisement by
the Omaha officials. Others
think that the coal docks in this
city will be enlarged. At any
rate anything that comes will be
better than the elevator lemain-
ing as it did, idle.

Burglars Break Into Segal

Silks Stolen.

The Segal Brothers store was
broken into Sunday night by burg
lars and between three and four
hundred dollars worth of silks and an
overcoat belonging to Mr.. Segal was
stolen. The thieves made their way
into the building by taking out one
of the panels in the door at the rear
of the store, and after taking the
silks, made their getaway without
bring discovered. Monday morning
it was discovered that the store had
been broken into and officers were
notified but there was no clew what
ever to work upon and it is doubtful
if the thieves will ever be caught.
Neighoors living near the store re-
port that three men were seen enter
ing the alley at the rear Of the store
at about eleven o'clock and others
report hearing noises in the vicinity
and it is thought that these noises
were made when the nails were be-
ing pulled out of the panels before
they were removed. However moth
ing was thought of it at the time.
Among the silks stolen were the
very latest patterns of high grade
silk which shows that The work was
that of professionals.
1t is also reported that an attempt
was made to enter the Posey store
on the same night. the moulding
having been taken off the door. but
evidently something scar ed the
thieves away.

in short time to begin taking away
the lumber. The lumber shipment
will be brisk for the greater part of
the season.
