PAYING CONTRACT
LET LAST NIGHT
STANDARD ASPHALT PAVING COM
PANY OF SPOKANE GETS NORTH
MAIN WORK
Five Inch Concrete One and One-Half
Top Selected Carey Named
Bandmaster.

Two important matters were dispos-
ed of at the meeting of the city council
last night, one being the awarding of
the north Main paving contract to
the Standard asphalt paving company
of Spokane for five inch concrete
base with 1 IL inch top at $1.60 per
square yard and the other the cleo
ton of E. J. Carey as municipal band
master.
When the paving matter came up
last night, Mayor Gibson announced
that something should be done with
the bids that had been opened last
week. The first vote to adopt the
five inch concrete base with 1 IL top
failed because of lack of quorum,
but on second vote explanations
having been made as to the merits of
the paving material, a resolution was
carried awarding the contract. There
are 8100 square yards of paving sur
assures the completion of the work
during the present year.
A committee from the chamber of
commerce appeared before the coun-
Gil last night in support of a strong
petition seeking the appointment of
E. ]. Carey as municipal bandmaster.
c. ]. Hugo, vice president of the
chamber, was present to state that
the directors at a meeting agreed thai
in the event of the city being forced
to refund money paid to Carey for
this purpose that the chamber of
commerce was pledged to make restitu-
ton and reimburse the city for all
loss. Mayor Gibson made the appoint
ment and Mr. Carey's nomination
was confirmed His salary will be $50 /
monthly.
The council last night heard the
mayors arraignment of the city en-
gineer because sidewalk grades had
not been given property owners. Il
am tired of making promises to the
property owners who have patiently
waited for these grades said the
mayor. 81 have asked the city eng
ineer frequently to set the grades and
he has promised to do so, but has
failed to keep his promise and I am
not going to ask him again until he
does something. l wanted to give
him help but he assured me he would
do this work himself and I want the !
property owners to know where the
blame les
Engineer Harvey Smith, called be-
fore the council to explain why tho
grades had not been fxed declared
that he was willing to relieve the ma
yor and council and to shoulder all :
the blame himself when 1 prom
ised to do this work, had hope that
l could get to it, but I cannot leave
the concrete work in the paving dis
tricts long enough to attend to the .
justice to my inspection of the paving

The mayor was firm in his demand =
that the grades be fixed and is desir-

work is because of the inability of

RIGHT WAY TO RIDE A HORSE
Individual Who, Seemingly, Has Been
There Gives Some Valuable In
struction on the Subject.

The horse is a domestic animal OF
the species Observation-Disclosures
batisque; which from the original
Greek means an animal with four legs,
a tail and head; this differentiates
him from other animals. Before you
can ride horse you must get on;
many people have tried riding first,
but instead of riding the animal the
animal has ridden them. Most saddles
have one-rung ladder attached.
Whether this is a means OF mount
ing or an easy method OF dislocating
your leg, there is some dispute. The
old.fashioned stepladder is good
enough for the author, but the last
time when we had reached the top my
horse had left before schedule time.
Now the next point is, how to start
the animal; most are selfstarters and
stopping is the all-important thing An
easy and simple method for starting is
by the use of an icepick; hold it aloft
and with a downward stroke make con-
tact with the horse. This causes the
nedes equorum to vibrate, this either
sets you off on your journey or off of
the horse. Now, if possible, always
go with the horse, never argue. Go
ing ahead or behind the horse is no
Joke. A method of stopping which
rarely fails is the following Pick out
a convenient precipice, guide your ami
NAL, if it is possible. toward the preci,
pice, and you now come to an abrupt
stop at the foot of the precipice. A
shovel is an elegant way of arising

+ We, the grand jurors duly ippaneled
for this, the June term of your Honorable.

nit the following report:
We have examined the public buildings
and find them in fair condition, well
kept, and the prisoners properly led and
cared for.
live have found no indictment what
ever, and wish to congratulate the people
of the parish on the entire absence OF
crime for the past six months.
We called the attention of the proper
authorities to the bad condition Ot-the

roads. The approaches are too steep and
no effort seems to have been made to
make them ordinarily passable. This
condition should be remedied and we
hope the proper steps will be taken in
that connection.
Having finished our labors, we beg to
be discharged.

Mr.. c. r. Darden, who is operating a
modern merry-go-round at st. Joseph,
has kindly and magnanimously offered
to run his carousselle on any day to be
selected, in conjunction with the Ladies'
Aid Society OF st. Joseph and will divide
the gross receipts with this organization
for the benefit of the Sunday School an
mex to the Union Church. The Ladies'
Aid Society was.delighted at the propo-
sition and very grateful to Mr.. Darden
for his generous offer, and after discussion
decided on Wednesday, June 18th, as the
day for the fete, and on the evening OF this
day the flying horses will be run by Mr..
Darden, co-laboring with the ladies on a
$3.50 basis, gross, and it is understood
that the ladies will have ice cream and
other refreshments on sale. Mr.. Darden
shares only in the sale of tickets for the
merry-go-round and defrays the cost of
operation ont of his own share of the pro-
ceeds.
With good attendance and good
weather the Ladies' Aid Society should
clear some fifty or seventy-five dollars
for the very worthy purpose and it is
sincerely to be hoped the friends and
members Of the Sunday School Associa-
ton will be liberal in attendance.
In this connection We are requested to
announce a meeting of the Ladies' Aid

The proclamation of the President
ordering the National Guard to report at
their respective headquarters tor duty,
pending war with Mexico, has affected
practically every town and hamlet in the
United States. Here in st. Joseph the
voice Of the President has reached and
two young men, temporarily away from

ness to 60 to the front if necessity should
require. Mr.. Kirk Hazlip and Mr.. Sam

both have announced their readiness to
respond to their Company's call. Com
pany H is ordered to modified at Alexan-
dria next week but just whether they
will be ordered to the border at present
lie unknown and is regarded as improb-
able. 1t must surely be hard for a mother
to see her two boys march away to bat
tie, but such is the patriotic spirit of
Americanism and such feelings it was

dence, ''Sink or swim, live or die, survive

District Court convened at st. Joseph
this week with the Grand Jury in session
for the first time in twelve months. The
report of the Grand Jury recites that no
indictments were returned, as there has
been no crime in the parish in the last
year, a fact of which our people should
be Justly proud. Another matter worthy
of mention is the incredible time in which
the work OF the parish inquisitorial body
was dispatched. Court was convened at
10 o'clock, and the jury empanneled,
whereupon His Honor delivered the usual
charge and the jury retired to investigate
whatever matters to which their attention
might be called. Completing their labors,
the jury made their report and were dis
charged at ll:25, after having been in
session just one hour and twenty We
minutes, record almost without parallel,
and which reflects happily on the peace
and order obtaining in this parish.
Only two minor criminal cases de-
manded the Courts attention. Hender-
son Simms, violating labor contract, was
fined $500 or 20 days, Lue fifth, same
charge, was fined $1,000 or 10 days.
