ported in her stand by the Church of

City Council.

Wednesday evenings session
was one of more than ordinary
interest, on account of the in
terest attaching to the appli-
cation of Messrs. A, Back and
Stelmach for a saloon license.
This matter had been thoroughly
aired for more than a month
past. and the simple petition was
therefore representative rather
of two warning sentiments, be-
tween which the town was
divided.
All six aldermen were present
when the meeting opened, with
Mayor Braught in the chair.
The interests of the petitioners
were presented by Attorney R.
J. Murphy, who made a strong
argument for his side of the con-
troversy. The petition was
fought. on the other hand. by
the saloon men now doing busi
ness. and their contention was
backed up by a citizens petition
to that effect. Several citizens
took occasion to express them
selves casually on the matter,
among them |. Emberson, who
pleaded for the petitioners.
When the argument h a d
reached its limit, an effort to
have the question decided by
secret ballot failing. the vote of
the aldermen stood as follows:
Messrs. Nesbitt. PITT, Conklin
and Miller voting no; and Messrs.
Lippman and Watt voting yes.
The petition for the eighth saloon
license stood rejected.

of minor import, except the ap

keeping him on the jump not
only all but are insistent even in

Adam county appears to have
the better of Perkins county in
the quality of the seed, it secured
on it's contract. The Adams
county wheat and oats given out
here are excellent and very sat

have to stake their hopes of sue
cess on it, while the Perkins
county wheat has given rise tt

gives out no flax, but Perkin:

very best seed flax ever giver
