RE-ORGANIZATION.

Messrs. Smith and Campbell Ketlre From the Council and are Succeeded by Messrs. Wllhite and Mc-

Campbell.

The last meeting of the old Council was held Monday evening and for a wind-up considerable business came before it, most of which was fittingly relegated to the tender consideration of the new Council.

It was reported that an armature had been burned out at the electric light plant during the recent storm.

The matter of paying the election officers was referred to a committee, with power to settle at once. It was decided not to pay the election commissioners their bills of S3 each as the law made no provision for them. The inspectors will be allowed three days' time.

The matter of paying Mrs. Magdeline Busenbark S800 damages was left to the city attorney. Mrs. Busenbark's attorneys, Paul & Bruner, offered to take that sum and settle all costs in the case.

The Board of Public Improvements reported through Mr. Smith. Since May 15. 'ii.'i, it has put on the streets yards of gravel: has put in 87 paved brick alley crossings at an average cost of 85.08 lias put in 05 paved brick street crossings at an average cost of §10.80 has expended for labor SI.582, about §800 of which was for giving employment to men out of work and suffering has paid for salaries. 85,554.

Mr. Ramsey who was present stepped to the front on the conclusion of the reading and addressed the Council. He said that it was the desire of the promulgators of this scheme that the city should eventually own the plant. If she desired to take stock at the start that the pipe company furnishing the material would take her bonds for 5 or 10 years at 5 per cent. Home parties will do all the work and have control of it until the city gets ready to take it. The matter has been thoroughly investigated and the location of the plant will probably be either back of the Jennison place or near the Big Four trestle, west of town. The Council decided to put the matter of granting the franchise over until next week when it will be considered at length at a special meeting.

Messrs. Smith and Campbell then withdrew from the Council and Messrs. Wilhite and McCampbeil were inaugurated, all making pleasant addresses. Messrs. Vanarsdal and Robinson, who succeed each other, also made very happy remarks, after which the Council adjourned.

In the retirement of Messrs. Smith and Campbell the city loses two most excellent and efficient officers. They have certainly only commendation for their aldermanic records and TIIK JOUKXAI. wishes them all future success. While the retirement of these gentlemen is regretted the inauguration of Messrs. Wilhite and McCampbeil is a matter for congratulation. Both gentlemen are excellent citizens and men of affairs. The city is secure in their keeping.

"Eight lt.')ls."

The world famous Brothers Byrne will present tlieir pantomimic cemedy, "Eight Bells." at Music Hall. May 15. The production this season will be a great novelty, nothing like it having ever been seen here before. It contains within itself a musical comedy, a farce comedy, a pantomime, a spectacular play, besides burlesque, which help to make material constructed for laughing purposes only, and in all the author. John F. Byrne, and players fully succeed. The applause is incessant and curtain calls numerous. The first scene is a pretty one, representing two gardens divided by high brick walls with a cottage on each side. During this scene a number of ridiculous incidents take place after each other so quickly that one's breath is' almost taken away. The second scene is a steamer's deck, and what takes place here is beyond description. The rapidity of action is above memorizing the reaader must see for himself. This scene by a quick change and really wonderful mechanism, turns into a big ship at sea two adjoining state rooms of an Atlantic steamer are shown, and while the ship is rolling on the high waves a number of peculiar acrobatic features are performed by the inimitable Brothers Byrne, some of which are startling. The third act represents an island upon which the ship has been wrecked, and here occurs a number of first class specialties. The Brothers Byrne's production of "Eight Bells" is a sure cure for the blues.

The election on Monday went off smoothly and the largest vote was polled in the town's history, being 74 votes. The entire people's ticket was elected and 'the "law and order faction" was smitten hip and thigh as the Philistian of the chaldean age. McGuffin received 42 votes and Jones, 27, with some mutilated ballots, which were of course thrown out. Now when your candidate is fairly beaten in convention you should have known he could meet no other fate at election. Let the voice of the people reign.

The Democratic township convention has been set for some time in June, and as yet candidates are scarce. No one is talked of and from good authority no one will be until the day of convention. Although the nosing committee has been looking for available material David Sparks was seen and he sa vs he does not care to go down with the utiterrilied and J. W. Shepard and James Harris seem to be. in the whirlpool of political commotion. It is needless to say old Walnut has a good Republican majority and with the candidates will take a cyclone to head them off.

Hood's Cures.

In saping that Hood's Sarsaparilla cuees, its propribtors make no idle or extravagant claim. The advertising of Hood's Sarsaparilla is always within the bounds of reason, because it is true it always appeals to the sober, common sense of thinking people, and it is always fully substantiated by endorsements, which in the financial world, would be accepted without a moment's hesitation.

Read the testimonials published in behalf of Hood's Sarsaparilla, all from reliable, grateful people.
