Council Proceedings.

City Council met Monday
night in regular monthly ses-
sion.
List Of claims previously aud
tied allowed and ordered paid in
rotation.
Bill of Gas & Electric Com
pany for 1894 allowed.
Mayor Walton submitted the
following message to the council
relative to the needed improving
of Twentieth street, south from
South street to the Missouri Pa
cifc depot, urging prompt action
thereon, as follows:
Gentlemen of the Council:
For your information, l desire
to lay before you the inspection
of a badly needed improvement,
one in which every citizen of
Lexington is interested.
On January 20, the Street
Commissioner, Chairman of the
Improvement Committee and
myself made a personal inspec-
ton of Twentieth street, south
from South street, to the Mis-
souri, Pacific depot. We found
the same in very bad condition,
a part thereof being unfit for
public travel.
That said street should be re-
paired and put in travelling con-
dition at the earliest time pos
sible, | at once conferred with
the President of the Lexington
Special Road District and ac-
quainted him with existing con-
ditions. The conclusion reached
was that it would be right and
proper for the City to put in q
thing concrete gutter and curb
ing along the sides of the pro-
posed Improvement, the cost
therefor not to exceed $1,000,
and that the Road Commission
ers and property owners defray
the expense for grading, paving
or matchmaking said street.
This being an important and
necessary matter, Gentlemen of
the Council, l beg to urge that
you give the same your prompt
and favorable consideration,
that work thereon may be start
ed at once.

Chicago American caricatured him in
an amusing manner, thus spreading
his fame over the entire nation.
Concerning the charges of fraud and
theft of which SO much has been heard
the past month. the colonel says that
there is absolutely no foundation to
them. The Roosevelt forces were
beaten fair and square and they knew
they were before the convention was
allied to order The extravagant claims
made by the Rooseveltians and the
flimsy contests brought by them
against some of the delegates weak,

ners are announced. The contest has
been a decided success from the very
start and present indications are that

afford to rest on their oars now with
the goal so near and yet so far. The
one that keeps busy now and makes
her work count will be the one that
will come out ahead with comfort
able margin Remember one subscrip-
tion may put you in the lead on the
final count: and you surely do not
want to lose out simply for the want
OF few subscriptions when you can
get them very easily.
Contestants are now casting their
ballots in the official ballot box in

is held by one of the judges. The

the subscription stub is properly filled
out, showing the number of votes,
name of subscriber and address. The
amount the stub calls for should be
enclosed in cash. To simplify mat

GRATITUDE.

He sent word to Caniora and to Chelio
that he had lost all his wealth and wa
sick, and that while he had q son Ia
work for him, he needed woman to
care for him. If she was ready to marry
his son they could be married at once.
To make this story seem true, King
Ginome moved into a little hut that was
In one Of his forests.
But neither Canlora or Chello went
near the King. On the other hand, they
gathered all the things they could from
the home the King had provided for them
and went back to their own home with
out so much a. inquirfng II the King
VAS very i'll.
King Ginome had given up finding a
wife that he felt was good enough to
occome Queen, when one day q poorly
dressed girl passed the hut and looked
in at the door.
{ The King was preparing to return to
his palace, and his servants had been
sent to bring his coach, 20 that he was

But King Ginome had not though.
that he would be forced to choose from

there appeared before him all the mes

maiden, he was perplexed beyond words.
He decided to let them all stay in

good woman. At the end of a month
he found that while he had brought the
number down to three he was still In
just as much trouble as when the whole
number were to choose from, for the
prince could not have three wives.
The three maidens who remained
were named Chello, Zolla, and Canlora.
One was as beautiful as the other and
desired. Hut still he hesitated to choose
the future Queen, and after thinking 1t

Crafty King Ginome now began his

Necklace FancieS.

One Of the latest fancies in necklaces
In one of braided seed pearls dear to our
grandmothers. The lucky girl who has
such a treasure stored away should
bring It out and send 1t to the jeweler
for cleaning.
Pearls are much worn now in the day
time; indeed, to most women a neck
lace is trying with a low-cut gown, so
the old dictum about daytime Jewels is
rapidly changing.
Many of these braided pearl collars
are in the imitation stones, but so
creamy and real-looking as to prove
very popular. especially with summer
Srocks.
