Coffl«ld'8 Saloon Kalded,

Sunday at 3 o'clock Marshal Scott and Officer Walsh raided Coffleld's saloon and found therein about a dozen young men drinking beer and having a good time generally. A court of inquiry was held Monday, which resulted in the arrest of Howard Coffield, son of the proprietor. He was charged with selling liquor on Sunday and his trial comes before Mayor Duncan at 2 o'clock Saturday. The above raid is only a foretaste of what is^to follow where saloon keepers are violating the law. Marshal Scott says he intends to raid every place where there is a sign of violating the liquor law. He will be commended by all law-abiding citizens who should give him their support in suppressing lawlessness. fv-,|v-

Councilman MoiiWIen a Great Auctioneer— Council Meet Agaiu To-night.

As advertised, §3,000 of water woiks bonds, and $30,000 of school corporation twenty-year bonds at 0 per cent, interest, were sold by Councilmen J. H. Moulden and J. F. Eagan and City Treasurer Smith, the committee, lose night. The bidding was quite slow. Charles Downing. representing the Indiana Trust Co., bid par for the water works bonds, and 94 per cent, for the school bonds. This stood as the best bid for an hour or so, when Mr. Cope, representing Seasongood & Mayer, of Cincinnati, offered $1.00 premium for the water worts bonds, and Mx-. Bruce, of W. J. Hays & Son, Cleveland, O., offered 94 per cent, for the school bonds. As Mr. Downing, made no higher bid for the water works bonds, they were sold to Seasongood & Mayer. Then a spirited contest began for the school bonds. Mr. Downing's offer of ^28,200 was increased alternately by Mr. Bruce and Mr. Downing until Mr. Bruce secured the bonds for Hays & Son by his bid of $28,850. Mr. Downing made the city big money by his management and good bidding. Mr. ivioulden's talks were very valuable, and as he grew eloqueut over the needs of a new school house and our boys and girls, each little speech would add §100 to the price of the bonds.

The Council in its meeting unanimously confirmed the sale of the bonds, and contracts were made. Each firm put up a $500 forfeit that they would complete the contract in 20 days. The sale was a fine one—the water works bonds are 5 per cent., with the small premium of $1.00 deducted, and the school house boDds will draw only 5.19 per cent, interest. The people are to be congratulated on this spleudid sale. The children can now throw up their hats and rejoice, as they are to have anew school house.

As-it was late the Council had acted no other inporjant business but ajourned until to- night.

The Masonic jXemple to Go Up at Once,

The new temple will be built at once. Mr. P. H. Boyd, who owns the 20 feet just west, will build at the same time, and soon two fine bnildings will be where ruins now stare us in the face.
