Sundry vague rumors that
"tlm.gs were going to happen,
again uiew .. g.-oa ^*zeU auuitutt
Lo me city nan last night to
listen to tne deliberations ot the
cd\ uaus i lie aloresaid rumors
vveie surticu'dtiy startling to
cause an even greater interest
lor tney mvoiveu a uiuical ciiaiige
in ti.e pieseut dispensation ot
tilings, or, lather, tilings as they
have uccn. ine busy uame lias
been most msiduously busy
vvluspenng -bout snaiige doings
that were m contemplation’ A
ceiiain peison, sot n to be a per
soiiage, was to be raised to
heigius superlative anu—but,
w uai s the use- lvumor is a de
ceiving jaae, anyway, liut the
rumor looked good to many and
they come to see; but, alas for
their hopes! Every thing went
ott as smoothly as a performance
of trained mice and there was not
even a thrill during the whole
session.
All were present when Clerk
Grimm called the role, even to
Mayor" Diamond, to whom he
absently referred at the end of
the roster of councilmen.
l he minutes w ere read and ap
proved. 1 here were no commun
ications and tile order of business
passed to the reports of city of
ficials. The city attorney an
nounced that the delinquent tax
roll had been filed in the district
court yesterday morning and the
(iate of hearing had been set for
Saturday. The city physician
reported that the work of clean
ing up the town was proceeding
^lovvly but satisfactorily. Gar
bage notices had been placed on
the dumping ground and every
thing was in fair way to develop
a city beautiful out of the present
dingy prospect. He didn’t say it
exactly that way, but that’s
about what he meant.
Councilman Poteet, chairman of
the street committee said that
work on the streets and drains
was progressing and things were
in fairly good shape with a few
places yet to receive attention.
Thompson of the police and
jail committee announced that
mie individual was partaking of
the hospitality of the city jail.
McAllister of the fire and wa
ter committee reported that the
work of thawing the frozen fire
main on Steadman avenue was
going forward and the commit
tee expected to have the wrater
through today and would test
the line for leaks or breaks
Thompson, reporting for the
special committee appointed to
investigate the suction and other
features of the pumping plant
said that the pumps, pipes, etc.,
were in satisfactory condition.
The vacuum trauge showed a
pressure of fifteen poun'/'- and
the leak in the suction complain
ed of by McAllister last week
was an old one.
Councilman Rose of the com
mittee on construction of build
ings, etc., of the proposed mu
nicipal plant, asked for another
week in which to prepare a re
port. The request was granted.
Billjs in numerous array and
totaling $380.40 were read by the
clerk and Thompson moved a
suspension of the rules to allow
of the labor bills being paid on
warrants immediately drawn.All
voted yes on roll call. Bills ap
proved by the finance committee
n the sum of $78.2.87 were order
ed paid on motion of Burgh.
Under the head of new busi
ness, Councilman McAllister
aiose to suggest that it was
about time that the present
street force be discharged and a
new crew substituted- He
thought they had been on the job
long enough and others should
have a chance for work. Some
of the men had been working for
twelve or fourteen days and as
there were many men who need
ed employment he did not think
anyone be retained more than
three days. His remarks includ
ed a motion that the street fore
man be instructed to fire the
whole gang and hire a new crew.
Thompson remarked that the
matter could be safely left to
the street committee. McAllis
ter interjected the statement that
.t did not look right to have the
same gang on all the time. His
motion failed to recive a second,
however, and was lost. Mayor
Blake stated that the McAllister
complaint would receive the
consideration of the street com
mittee.
councilman Thompson sub
mitted the bonds of the city
treasurer and city clerk, the for
mer for forty thousand and the
latter ten thousand. The bonds
men for Treasurer Murphy were
J. V. Sheldon, F. M Ayer, Russ
Downing, Con Kelly, F. M.
Kiesele, VV. H. Webb and A. Po
let. Bondsmen for Clerk Grimm
were G. J. Lomen and O- D
Cochran. On roll call the bonds
wc-re approved by the council.
There being no further busi
ness Burgh moved the adjourn
ment and the meeting closed.

“When the Lightning Struck”
m two powerful acts, at the
Dream tonight. This is a costly
p;eduction tilled with big scenes.
The theme is based on science
id i- remarkable in many ways
as compared to the usual run of
phi toplays. “Dad's Little Girl,”
a Selig toplincr, and a comedy
trama with a distinctive punch
entitled “Getting Rid of Algy,”
completes the bill.

and unusual plot features.
After nearly a aveek of labor
the work of thawing out the
frozen fire main on Steadman
yivcr't was completed shortly
Dcfor.- noon today. The pipe
was frozen solid for greater por~
lion of the distance between the
tire plug at the corner of the old
postoffice building on Second
avenue and Front street. Exam
ination also discloses that the
pipe has been broken by the frost
at a point close to tbe fire plug
referred to. How So large a
quantity of water accumuiatediin
the main i3 still something of a
mystery but it is conceded that
the cracked joint at Second ave
nue was the only possible means
whereby the water could get in
It has been suggested that a
leaky valve at the juncture with
the main line on Front street
might be responsible but the idea
generally discredited.
A copy of house resolution
1^7, introduced by Congressman
1 itliincum of Maryland lias been
icceived by the Nugget with the
request that it be given publicity.
1 lie resolution is directed to se
curing the appointment of a
house committee to investigate
and report as to tbe conditions
prevailing in dairies throughout
the United States for the pur
pose of determining whether
they are run in conformity with
1 tiles of sanitation and if their
products seriously menace the
health and prosperity of the peo
ple of the United States. The
resolution is based on a report to
the bureau of animal industry
that ninety four per cent of the
creameries of the country are un
sanitary, that 61.5 per cent
of the cream used is unclean or
decomposed and that 72.6 per
cent of the cream made into but
ter is unpasteurized and that a
'urge percentage of all dairy cat
lie are affected with tuberculosis,
file congressman hopes through
widespread publicity to arouse
public opinion to the degree that
i lie dairy industry will be thor
oughly investigated.

who have been condemned to be
shot have lessened to imprison

Among the latest to receive
royal clemency are the Countess
Markievicz and Henry O’Honna

death penalty was reduced to
imprisonment. The edict of

conspirators has been commut
