COUNCIL MEETING

Although two councilmen were ab- sent, the council held a meeting last evening with Mayor Wakefield in the chair.
 The meeting was called principally for the purpose of taking up the sick ness prevailing in town and the pay ment of the employees of the city be- fore the Fourth.
 All bills were allowed but only the employees will receive their salary be- fore the Fourth as the regular clerk of the council is absent.
 The health officer reported nine cases under treatment confined to four residences. He reported also that the situation was being closely watch ed.
 After considerable debate the coun. cil passed resolution barring minors from all public places where people congregate in numbers from date until further notice; This will include pie ture houses, dance halls, churches, and all public gatherings involving the presence of a large number of people.
 The council feels that unless the threatened epidemic is stamped out without delay the r. It will be most serious and that every precaution should be taken to prevent the further spread of the disease.
 It is to be hoped that the people af, fected by the order will respond with. out question and make the work of en. forcing the rule as easy as possible for the city authorities.

 The correspondent has visited groups of hundreds Of prisoners all of whom are thin and weak They say they had had little food for the last iHOulH anu SpOhe NltH nOrrOr or Win ter months. A sample of their black bread showed that it was made of rye straw and potatoes.
 Many of the prisoners have strong. well spiked shoes, but these. they claim, they made themselves or bought Their clothes. however, are falling apart Most of them have mere rags for shirts. The majority of the pris- oners have money, but it is either in paper bills or iron coins. The most of them wear medals for yalor, some of them having two or more of them, but these decorations are of base met al and none are of gold or silver.
