The Wurra Wurra Club

MT. D. Sweeney being unavoidably ab sent from the last meeting, Comrade w. A. Wright presented the name of Lester Adams for president pro tenn. The nomination was seconded by Allyn Full Ter and on the formal ballot MT. Adams was elected by majority of one, the vote for ratification standing 67S to 677. MT. Adams escorted himself to the chair and made brief speech thanking the mem bers for the honor conferred upon him and threatening to fill the position to the best of his ability.
 In the unavoidable absence of Fred 1 Scamerhorn the singing of the Opening Ode was dispensed with. The reading of the minutes of the previous meeting was performed by Ivanhoe Scott, who stated that he wanted to get accustomed to stage work before the minstrel show. He brought down the house by his original interpretation of the text.
 Sam Reel offered motion that the Club observe Clean-up-day, next Satur- y of the Business Mems Association, by instructing the janitor to sweep out the Club-room and wash the windows. Seneca Strong, who was present., got up and said it might be we'll to take up collection to defray the expense of black ing the stove last fall, before branching out with new frills and running into debt for them. Nevertheless, the motion was passed.
 George Roger got up and moved that the Club take the initiative in organizing a local branch of the "National Citizens League for the promotion of a sound banking system." He said he had been convinced by the eloquent and scholarly exposition of the banking and currency question, by MT. Ireton, at the Business Mems smoker, that reform is absolutely essential, and would like to see the Wurra Wurra Club take the lead in the movement, locally, for such reform.
 MT. Lyles replied, saying he had the utmost confidence in the origInators of the present system of banking, and in the present custodians of the peoples money, locally and nationally, and would oppose any attempt to change the present order of things.
 As the motion was not seconded, the matter was dropped.
 A motion was made by Dr. Ross that the chair appoint committee of three to meet and confer with the Business Mems Fourth of July committee, and offer to collaborate with them in making the celebration of the next Fourth the most notable event in the history of the town.
 The fat member scrambled to his big feet and objected. "As l said ag'in," he remarked, Il don't take no stock in them celebrations. It's all dunn foolishness an waste O good money. What does it all amount to3 My wife"
 "I object to the gentleman dragging in his family affairs" said Rob Peirce, in terrupting. "If the corpulent gentleman doesn't care to cooperate in the celebra- to make him do so. What his wife does to him has nothing to do with the case, and l move the previous questions"
 The fat member sank into his -chair and the motion was passed by a rousing majority. Al. Hubbard offered a resolu- ton commenting the action of the "smoker" in taking up the matter of re- questing the C. N. E. railroad company to restore the afternoon train going west, which was withdrawn from service some months ago, much to the inconvenience of the public along the line. He made short but heart-rending speech on the subject, with the result that his resolution was adopted unanimously.
 a Mayor Rowe rose up and said he un- derstood steps were being taken to has ten the institution of the Woman's Relief Corpse of the Wurra Wurra Club, which was about ready to begin business some months since, having secured the re ] quisfte fifty names to the charter mem | bership list; and he suggested that the members of the Club study up on eti- | qu ,ttc and department, against the time when the Relief Corpse should be formal l ly admitted into the order and come into collaboration and full fellowship with them. Lew Rhoades said he had no doubt the members of the Club would be able to behave themselves in lady-like manner when the Wurra Wurra sisters wa C a.!-!--..: ,and he saw no good reason fo.",,, :...,':.Ier taking a course of study in drawing room etiquette.
 The chair cut the discussion short by announcing that there was no business
