The Wurra Wurra Club

l v was elected temporary chairman, and escorted to the platform by Deputy Sheriff Rhoades and Frank A. Baker. He promptly took up the gavel, hit the desk whack and served notice on all whom it might concern, that any attempt to stir up dIscord by Aippant allusion to the suffragette cause would be frowned upon and summarily squelched real hard.
 After the usual quarterly collection had been taken up, and the Opening Ode sung by Dan Sweeney on a meat axe, the regular order of business was asked for.
 Jay Underwood immediately got up and said that while he had uo disposition to make any Aippant allusion to the sui fragettss or their cause, still he felt it his duty to say-and to say it so plainly that there could be no mistaking his meaning that in his opinion it's going to be a cold and disagreeable winter. John VanDeusen offered an amend ment striking out the enacting clause and substituting the compliments of the season to the electric light company for putting burners into some of the, street lamps, in place of the Christmas tree candles that had been doing duty for SO long.
 Ed. Warner rose to a point of order just as Clint. Roraback moved the pre- vious question, whereupon the chair de- clared the whole matter tabled until the court of inquiry should adjourn sine die.
 That brought George Rogers to his feet. Speaking about the court of in- quiry," said he, "the prospect seems fav- orable for creditable choral society in Canaan, the coming season, in spite of the fact that n number of fast seaSon's good singers are moving out of town and taking their voices with them. There's plenty of enthusiasm, and some new voices are being discovered"
 "Mebbe they'll be glad enough [ fall back on some U tn insurgents" volunteer ed the fat member, ''an' my wife1l have a chance t sing in tn big show. They've gen'rally switched her. off onto tn side track just b'fore concert time, an it allus makes her so dummed ugly fir a month or so that they hain't no Twin with her"
 The chair rapped for orderand remind ed the assemblage, in pointed terms, that nobody had yet brought forward any bus mess for the meeting to act upon.
 Gene Rowe moved that committee be appointed to form pool on the proba- bilities of the applicants for licease in East Canaan. There are three ap- plicants in East Canaan" said he, ''and it's betting proposition that they all won't get them. There's chance for some right smart speculation as to which of the three-Kegler,Sw Sweeney and Se5cn will carry off the first prize"
 Al Herriman Immediately jumped up and protested against anything that look ed like game of chance. 'I am shock ed" he said, "that such q proposition should be made here, and if it is persisted in, shall resign from the Club, on the spot"
 The motion was tabled, on motion of Archie Adam.
 The invitation of MT. w. A. Miles, of Twin Lakes, asking the Club to partici- pate in a coon-hunt, on his domain, to be followed by a coon supper, was received and referredto the committee on Thanks giving turkey, with power.
 w. A. Wright moved that the chair appoint a committee on snow shoveling, to keep the sidewalks of the village clear during the coming winter. President Lyles, of the Business Mems Association objected, contending that the matter would naturally come under the juris- diction of his Association. He added that it was his intention, at the next monthly meeting of the R. NJ. A, to jam through an ordinance that no property owner within the limits of the fire dis trict shall shovel snow off his sidewalk without permission from the Association, in writing. The matter was stabbed for future consideration.
 Seneca Strong attempted to introduce a resolution of remonstrance against the use of playing cards at whist parties but Toe Parsons remonstrated against the re- monstrance, and the meeting adjourned Line of Talk.
