John P. Kline; superintend- ent of streets. Edward Nevins. Mr. Leesch the marshal, is a new man. but he is said to be capable and with the possibilities of a good ofilcer in 4 Then came the canvassing of the votes for alderman as follows: ward 3 one, A.

Phillips; and Cobb with Clerk Finney count- ed the votes and declared the result. , The chamber was packed with an eager crowd expecting some .fun. i The old council adjourned while City Clerk Finney swore in the newi‘ members. who selected their seats 2 when the mayor called to order. The ‘ bids for city printing, lumber etc, were referred to the aeveral eom- : j mittees. Col. Davidson asked per- ‘- mission to grade down Linden are i - l l nue and put on the academy Cinders : and ashes. It went to the street: and alley committee. ( ( The finance committee reported on St. Johns avenue paving contract. Mr. Barstow will discount seven per cent for cash and the committee say pay cash and the council so ordered. I Bills were ordered paid amounting! in all to $1964. besides the $343 to Frank Laing on his water main con- tract The monthly requisitions were ordered. and a salary ordinance pas- sed fixing salaries as follows: mar~ filial. police and superintendent of j streets, .530, per month each. Pump- 3 ing engineer $1000 a year. that isl $100 raine on last year, and assistant l 563 per month l The tire and wate r committee made an ext ended report on the breaking and repairing of the' big water main. It is about a dozen typewritten pages too long for our columns. but of his- toric interest and value. The ex- pense so far has been 3609.178 and Messrs. Brace Rann. experts of Evanston, are to finish the job at $65.31 day for working days, and $12 for stormy or rough Weather when they can't work. The new intake pipe. which isa permanentatfair cost $268310. All this comes of a big ice berg settling down on it last winter. Perhaps a row of piles along on either i side of the pipe would hold up thei ice and save another break. These piles will cost $10. each set in place. The report reflects great credit on the i committee for its prompt and efficient management. The minutes were read and ap- proved. W. S. Lasher asked to have the time for building hiscemeut side walk till fall, but Mr. Phillips object- ed, said Mr. Lasher had known for months that the walk was to bebuilt. and he could do it now before the first of June: the council had refus~ ed others and must treat all alike. Joseph Happ and fifteen others want the Warren steam mill and also the Gieser Bros. rendering establishment abated. They were instructed to fol- low the ordinances in and for such cases made and provided. Mr. Lindâ€" strom wants to lay a private water pipe to his house. as does Mrs. Jones. in the Smurtbwaite cottage, and both I were granted. VOL III. CITY COUNCIL.

EDAUOHTERS OF THE REVOLUTION .The state convention of the ”Daughters of the American Rein], ntion" was held at Bloomington the early part of this week. The reports from 22 (-hapters showed a large amount of work accomplished, thh zeal'and enthusiasm constantly in» creasing, particularly at this time when the demand on our patriotism is heavy. ' ’ CAPT JONES' SURPRISE Capt George Jones of the Salvm tion army. who has been spending ' his two weeks vacationin this city in the family of Mayor R. G. Erma, was the victim of a local surprise 1party at the Evans’ homestead Mon- ‘day evening. ' It was planned and carried through chiefly by the youn'g people, who having met him here in other years, wished to show their regard for him and his work. Hence only invitations enough were issued to make a comfortable gatheringi without anv crowding All churclmi social and political lines were ignor- i ed, and hence it had the air and, spirit of a neighborhood Christian; gathering. These ideas were realiz ed in the gathering. The council then adjourned and Mr. Cushman thanked his stars that‘ he had got through with midnight ] sessions and couldiive in peace hence-i forth. Alderman elect Turner not i being present, -he is off with thel army for Cuba libre . the mayor told Alderman Fritsch to remain, till his successor is both elected and ; qualified.

Mr. Nevins is an old hand at this kind of work. he was pumping engineer for years, and is fully competent.
