decided to leave the matter over

At the recent city primary and
election some changes we're made
in the board of aldermen by the
people, by god majorities, and
probably more would have been
made had an Effort been put forth.
There was a reason for this action
and, one that should not be lost
sight of. For several years a
sentiment has been growing here
for improved conditions and for
better officials, especially those
named by the aldermen. In
one instsnce, particularly by, has
this sentiment been needed greatly
to the satisfaction of all good
people. We refer to the selection
of J. M. Brown as city tax collec-

duty thoroughly, satisfactorily
and without offense to any and.

earnestly looked toward to by all
who appreciate good, true. sober,

and non.psrtisan public service,
and, with this idea in view, some
at least, of the changes referred to,
we're made. Now, THE WATCH.

Summary
 OF THE War News

The fall of Lemberg is being followed, according to Berlin ad- vices, by Russian retreat over a wide front. In the Lemberg dis trict the victorious Austro-Ger- man armies are said to be driv- ing the Russians eastward while to the west the armies of Elm peror. Nicholas are falling back from the country northwest of PrZemysl, near the Russian bor-- der, and as far north as the dis trict of Kielce, in Russian Po- land, about one hundred miles south of Warsaw.
 The Berlin despatch says the Russians put a powerful resist ance to the last
 Hostiities are continuing with varying degrees of intensity along the whole Italian front. An of ficiaI communication from Rome states that Austrian attacks at several points were repulsed. The report mentions no further ad- vances by the Italians, except for one small gain, and apparently the invasion of Austria has been checked by the endorsements brought in from the GaIioian front.
 The Turkish forces in the Cau- casus which recently have under taken a new offensive movement are said to have won a. fresh vic tory. An announcement from Constantinop1e says the Turks captured positions along a, front of nearly two miles in the fight ing in the direction of ,O1tie, the Russians fleeing eastward.

Paris, June 24.-An official note made public in Paris to-day gives de- tails of land operations on the north side of the Dardane1Ies between June and June 8 and recites that as a result of attacks by the French and the British a gain of from 150 to 500 yards along a front of over a mile was made. British troops took over 500 prisoners.
 The text of the communication fol- lows:
 "Our offensive movement during the last two weeks of the month of May had been gradual, the line nov ing forward in small sections and making it's way from one vantage point to the next point of support
 But on June 4 the whole line was ordered to attack. The idea was to keep the enemy occupied at all points simultaneously, thus prevent ing him from bringing up reserves at any one point and at the same time giving our men further oppor- tunity to organize the positions al- ready captured by them. At about II o'clock in the morning the bonn bardment of the enemy's positions was begun. The enemy made only an occasional reply to the hail of our '75' guns. Toward noon our aero- planes reported that all of the ene- my's batteries had been silenced.

At this point they were given support which permitted them tc turn about and attack and capture g Turkish redoubt which still held out
 They took also, further positions situated on the right and left of the first line of trenches and gained ground approximately 500 yards ir depth.
