Big Record for City-No Disorder on
 Firemen's Muster Day.

. There was no session of the city court Friday, not an arrest having been made during the big doings on Thursday, which also happily passed without an accident, although there was a crush of people in some sections all day long.
 The police had absolutely no trouble with the crowds. They would have shown extra, leniency considering the circumstances attending the observ- ance if occasion demanded that they should, but everyone was well befav- ed, and no offense more grievous than making noise was charged against anyone during the day.
 The host of visitors left a big bunch of money in town, and got back it's equivalent in fun, so everyone is well pleased.
 Friday the town began to get back to the normal order of things. All day long decorations were being removed, and by nightfall about every bit of festive color and dress had been re- moved.
