G. F. Meyers Elected Councilman.

* A special session of the city council was held Monday night for the purpose of electing a councilman-at-large to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Jay W. Williams. Two names were proposed, George F. Meyers, republican, and Lucius Strong democrat Mr. Meyers received the votes of the three republcan members of the council, and Mr. Strong received the vote of Mr. Gerber. Mr. Meyers did not know that he was being considered for the office and If he decides to accept It, it will be with considerable unwillingness, as his health is very poor and he has so many matters of bls own to look after that about all of his time is occupied. He would make a fine councilman and it is to be hoped that he decides to accept the election. Although it was a special meeting of the board they considered a petition of John Schanlaub and others for a tile drain running west from the Larkin Potts corner to the Fisher ditch on the street leading to the county farm. The petltlonres offered to haul the tile and lay it [f. the city would buy It and the council decided favorable to the petitioner*.
