mistook the new article for bath
brush and used it vigorously, with the
result that the water turned to a fiery
red. Then he discovered that he was
covered with red and black stripes.
His efforts to remove the stripes
failed and he began to fear he would

City Council.

The monthly meeting of the city
council on Thursday night was char
acterized by some diversion. Amidst
the regular routine of business, several
of the newly re-appointed officials call
ed at the council chamber and deposit
ed boxes of cigars that were greatly
and gratefully enjoyed by those pres
ent. They were good, for we tried
them by proxy. Following out the re-
quirements of the state board of health
an order was passed requiring all dogs
running at large to be muzzled for a
period of ninety days from April 1st.
This was in the nature of an ex post
facto law that is prohibited by the Con
stitution of the United States, but as
the dogs won't mind the retroactive
features from the first of April to the
date of the meeting, they will not ap-
peal on account of constitutional rights.
Owners OF dogs must muzzle "Old Dog
Tray and others if they permit them
to roam promiscuously. from the pres
ent to the last Of June. Owing to the
presence of rabies in the state. this is
good measure, and il it results in
surplus of bologna, no one will kick if
the price 10 lower and the dog don't
bark. The council also ordered the
purchase of six large cans to be placed
in prominent places in which people can
deposit waste papers instead of throw
ing them on the streets.
1t was also decided to extend the
water main up Soda creek, and while
the distance is to be determined by the
proper committee, it is the present in
tention to extend the main at least as
far up as the new bath house. The
council also decided to enforce the city
ordinance relative to the storing and
keeping of gasoline and other inhama-
BILE oils. Parties handling these oils
will do we'll to study the ordinance and
govern themselves accordingly.
