The city council last night took no

the time Of election to await the action
Of tho committee appointed to frame a

postponed for all time so far as the

be in accord with him. Wherever the
commission form is in use, IL has given
general satisfaction, and not one of the
cities would change back to the old

What the city, every city, needs Is
some one at its head who is responsible
for the conduct Of its affairs. Under
the present form it is not possible to
fix the blame for mistakes, or worse,
on any one. We are not alluding to the
present council, but to any and all coun.

The last shot fired by Yates struck
Mrs Hayes in the neck and the bullet,

the neck and lodged in the lungs just
below the lower portion Of the cellar

will probably prove fatal to the wo-
man. However, there is still slight

signed to a room in the Salem hospital.
Just what the outcome will be remains

that the wounds in the neck and lungs,
