The sewer scheme is in the soup. The hobby of the old council has been smashed. The Main street paving and sewer schemes have been interred in the same tomb. Bias for the building of the sewer from the river to Fifth street lay upon the council table for three weeks without being opened. At last they were taken up, handled carefully and rejected because they were in excess of the sewer fund by a thousand or more dollars. The lowest bid was $14,530. Some of the councilmen were anxious to let the contract but others saw an op portunity to back down and took advantage of it. There is no telling how long it will be before the ghost of the now defunct scheme will arise and stalk through "the council chamber. Peace to its mortar and bricks.

Three cows were arrested this week for loitering on the lawn at the government building. This was the first attempt that was made toward an enforcement of the new ordinance recently passed. Superintendent Stout was a little prema ture in ordering the arrest of cows. The ordinance must be published for two weeks before its enforcement. This made the enforcement fall upon last Wednesday. There are no extra officers on the police force and the question arises, how are the cows to be kept off the streets? It will require the services of two or three men to look after the impounding of cows. No appointments have been made and there is practically no effort made to carry out the ordinance. There is a disposition to obey the ordinance and in many parts of the city owners have rented ground and employ boys to herd their cattle. The plan does not prove expensive and works very satisfactorily. The front fences, how' over, are not going down very rapidly.

Great Reduction.
