LThe Cornell Held Ita Regular Meeting LasNUUt Bills Allowed. Last evening was the time set for the regular monthly session of the city coun cil, and when at 7 :30 Mayor Menefee called the meeting to order, roll call was answered by councilmen M. T. Nolan, Charles Lauer, L. E. Crowe, 8. S. Johns, R. E. Saltmarshe and T. F. Wood. ' After the reading by the recorder of the previous minutes, a petition was presented by John M. Marden, Pat Fagan, J. G. Mack and others, aeking that a crosswalk be built on Second street, at the center of the block bound ed by Union and Court streets. Mr. Nolan moved that the petition be re ferred to the committee on streets and public property, and the motion, being seconded by Mr. Crowe, passed. The committee to whom had been re ferred the petition of A. S. Bennett, ask ing that the alley-way through his prop erty, near the Mill creek bridge, be condemned, recommended that, the" pe tition be granted, provided that the petitioner would' grant a ten-foot strip, running north and south, on the west side of his property. On motion of Councilman Lauer, the report and rec ommendation were adopted. The condition of our streets was the next subject for discussion, and at this juncture Mr. Crowe moved that the marshal be authorized to employ a man to work upon the streets for euch time as he may deem necessary. The remun eration was placed at $2 per day, and the motion carried. The select committee on the Obarr case next occupied the attention of the council with their report. The commit tee said the case of Mrs. Obarr against the city for damages growing out of the late 8 mall pox scare, had been compromised by the city paying Mrs. Obarr $200 in full satisfaction. The report recom mended that A. S. Bennett be paid $40 as an attorney fee, including costs." The report was adopted and the recordsr instructed to draw the- necessary "war rant. . A general ordinance, regulating the mode of ' the expenditure of public money, was then placed upon its pas sage. The ordinance provides that all warrants drawn upon the city shall be paid from the general fund, except war rants upon a fund which has been cre ated for a special purpose. In the vote upon the ordinance Messrs. Nolan, Lauer, Crowe, Johns, Saltmarshe and Wood voted aye and the ordinance was declared passed. A special ordinance providing for the transfer of money from special funds to the general, fund was also passed. By this ordinance $340 -is transferred from the city officers' fund, $249.40 from the police fund, $17.60 from the current ex pense fund, $85.45 from the fire depart ment fund, $362.52 from the street and sewer improvement fund.

There are some people who are never positive in anything. It is-always, "I don't know," or "I guess so.t' There is a word of such people, and it is refresh ing sometimes to hear a person speak as one having convictions, like Mr. Chas. F.
