The contract for printing ordinances and other iegal notices was awarded to Evans Forrest ate ’ centsp -r line nonpariel On motion of Alderman Obee con~ suiting Engineer Bowan was engag~ ed to superintend the putting of the St. Johns brick paving at 3 per cent on the contract price. A letter was read from C. E. Loss of the Blufi Electric road saying they would repair the streets as soon ‘'as the condition of the ground was suit- able. In answer to an inquiry, Pres- ident Lombard of the National Bank of America, said their books showed they had not paid ex-City Treasurer Flinn any interest on his city depOSits'.

The residents on the Sheridan road south, asked for a rebate as there is a balance of over $1900 left from the assessment for that street improve- ment after they have kept it in re. pair for five years. and paid over $1000 for repairs on that big bill. It Went to the finance committee to re- port at next regular meeting. The meeting began promptly at the hour. the records were not read; Gieser Brothers petitioned for a water pipe to their lot,>8 in block 9, just north ofthe Tillman corner. The afidnvit and petition of Silas Brand was filed giving seven reasons why Alfred St. Peter’s eibction was not valid. After some discussion by the1 attorneys and alderman the hearing was set for this, Friday evening May 20th. VOL II]. CITY COUNCIL. The Highland Park News. They keep prettygood track of the names of some of our leading citizensas faraway as old Massa- chusetts, for they have named one of their new military camps down fibers “ Camp Wolcott” It is a choice souvenir of a grand sentiment. and a glorious oppox- tuuity. “Gloria Mundi.” Primed in bright colors, the effect is very striking and suggestive. On the reverse of the card Mr. Alexander writes: “Dear Judge, war is very cruel, but behold; we are brothers again. Two flags, two great empires, but one people, now and forever. And ver. ily God’s hand guides our ship of state.” Our iieighhor, \V. A. Alexander, , being in Toronto on business found I the Anglo-Saxon alliance sentiment! so strong that an enterprising firm , of lithographers have got out some private postal cards in honor of the noble sentiment. About one-k alf of the card is filled with a beautiful symbol of the alliance. Over the ,top of it are the words, in clean > ;bold type, “Anglo-Saxon;" thenl comes the two national flags, the Union Jack and Stars and Stripes, with Britannia and Columbia seated beneath the former guard-d by a. re. cumbeut lion, and the-latter by the eagle, and the motto: “One Aim, . One Goal." with a pair of clasped hands, and beneath allare the words ONE PEOPLE NOW AND FOREVER It was only about ten o'clock when they adjourned. re name was not printed on any ofiicial :- ticket: he was not nominated by any a. one: the X against his name on the Ir pasters was not put on by the voters, t as the law prescribes: the 53 ballots - counted for St. Peter were illegal, as all thepasters were prepared by some 5 other persons than the election oflic- 7 ials or the voters themselves: no bal- 3 lot passed out to the voters by the] - election oficers contained the name of Mr. St. Peter and the marking of I said pastors was illegaland therefore l the ballots cast with said pastors on ‘ them, are fraudulent and void, hence Mr. St. Peter‘s election was illegal[ and void and Mr. Brand entitled to the seat now claimed by Mr. StPeter. When the :‘learned attorneys” were dealing out legal terms bythe bushel ‘ as respondent, summons, chancering, equity, bill etc.. Alderman Phillips arose and said, “Mr. Mayor We don’t know what all these terms mean, We are just common aldermen, and want ithe learned counsel to talk so we can landerstand.” It tag-a brief but co- gent plea to have such distinguished foreigners as Messrs. Zoolr and Knox to talk in the “language of the Unit 11 ed States” and especially of the state of Illinois. Another assertion of the forth coming prevalence and sway of the English tongue and the Anglo- c. Saxon alliance. I“ a h l) The points made in Mr. Brand’s protest against Mr. St. Peter’s elec- tion were seven in number, some of which were as follows: Mr. St Peter's Mr. St. Peter, of course is not in a very pleasant position, but he bore himself with excellent self possession and dignity. It is not always 9915’ to sit by and hear one’s own standâ€" ing among his fellows discussed, with perfect self‘composure, any more than it is to sit in the dentists’ chair while he bores your teeth without wincing, but Mr. St. Peter did Well, as did his counsel, S.
