According to one account the at
tacking ship was the Turkish cruiser
Hamidieh, which is alleged to have
been flying the colors of Austro-Hun-
gary.
Another report doubts the war ves-
sci was the Hamidieh at all and says
that the cruiser resembled a vessel OF
the Austrian Kaiserin class.
Feeling against Austria has been
high here since Tuesday, when the
Austrian minister to Servia announced
that this government objected 10 Ser
Wan troops assisting in the siege of
Scutari.
The news of the attack on the Ser
Wan transports therefore created a
tremendous sensation here. In Off.
cial circles, however, no credence was
given to the part of the press dis
patches relating to the Austrian flag.

order to make it possible for anyone
to assume successful control Of the
city's affairs. The question Of drain
age from the septic tank is one which
absolutely must be attended to at
once to avoid law suits with local
farmers and trouble with the state
health officers. No money is avail
able for this purpose unless bonds
are issued by present city council as
the city commission must submit a
bond issue to a vote of the people.
While Mr.. Moses assumes that the
vote would be in favor of the issu-
ance of bonds the city will be involv-
ed in difficulties before the matter
could be adjusted by the commission.
These facts, together with the facts
that no money is available under the
new form of government for current
expenses were principal among the
reasons offered why the city is not
ready.
Councilman Hans wants to unload
the burden as it now stands upon the
shoulders of the new officials and
let them work out their own solution
Hans, in his remarks, brings Out
strongly the fact that the city is tire
of the hap-hazzard methods which tn
present council has pursued in hand
ling city affairs and as his assertion
was corroborated by the statement:
of Capt. Lewis, who followed him, W.
assume that it is fact. Councilman
Lewis is willing to stay in and worl
out some Of the pressing matters O
unfinished business, but wants petit
tons presented asking for bond issu
by the present council.
Coucil adjoured subject to call.

at the meeting. In connection with
bills allowed, the fact developed that
tho bill for juice for pumping at the
septic tank is about $27 less than
last month.
Councilman Ewalt appeared
with resolution, the sub
stance of which is, that owing to the
fact that a recent fire has rendered
the Kendall hotel untenable, insight
ly, dangerous, Eft Cetera, and owing
further to the fact that a city fire
ordinance prohibits repairing, the
owner thereof be given blank days
in which to remove building from
its present location. Motion was
made that the time be made 60 days,
which was passed as also was the
resolution.
| S. A. Newcombe, who had been I'm
ployed to make survey of the fall
from the septic tank to the creek wa
called upon and estimates a 21-inch
pipe sufficient as an outlet. The
one now in use is eight inches and
will not suffice to handle the partial
| ly purified water as it laeves the
tank. The discussion of this matter
was resumed later in the evening
: but amounted to nothing but a farce
and was participated in principally
by two members who furnish a fail
specimen of vaudeville but never sa!
anything. The question as to wheth
