terms upon w hich we are prepared to
offer the representative journal of
Agriculture, Farm And Home, in coo
nection with this paper. Everywhere

sound common sense, practical teach
ings, terse paragraphs, originality and
pluck have won foe it a place at the
head of the agricultural press. Its
immense circulation, exceeding 300,000
copies each issue, is in itself a telling
testimonial of its practical value and
intrinsic worth. Our subscribers will
do well to read the announcement and
ami I themselves of an opportunity to
secure, at a trifling cost, a paper which
will return them thousand per cent on
the investment in the nseful hints and
teachings to be obtained from its
perusal. To all we say, try Farm And

Council Meeting.
the city council met in regular ses
sion on Thursday evening, Jan. 3.
uuunciiuieu iiasxins and tiood were
absent.
A petition was read for changing the
position of the electric light near the
Catholic church. Petition was granted
under condition that no expense to the
city shonld bs incurred.
The ways and means committee sub
mitted a report in regard to the tax levy
lot the ensuing year. Their estimate of
expenditures was (5995 ; re venae, $4200,
and advised a 10 mill levy. On a
property valuation of $350 000, the levy
will considerably more than .meet the
anticipated expense.
The judiciary:; committee reported on
a petition on sidewalk on Third street.
As the petition iwas not signed by the
requisite number of property holders,
on motion it was laid on the table.
The street committee advised going
ahead with opening up the extension to
Bridge street.
The following bills were allowed:
Cramer Bros., $9,70; John Patrick,
$46.80; Harvey Ualbraith, $2.40.
The saloon bonds of A. Lempke and
August Fetsch were presented and
found correct. Bonds were approved
and licenses ordered Issued.
Two communications from die hose
manufacturers were read quoting prices
of hose, but the weight of opinion was
adverse to purchasing any more hose
at present.
A communication from tho Western
Clay Co. ol Portland, quoting prices on
tile for-cnl verts was read. This matter
has been under consideration for some
timesand it was decided to purchase a
car load of this material, it being
apparently cheaper than lumber when
the matter of durability is considered.
Scott Griffin addressed the council in
behalf of an Eastern company who had
nnder consideration a prospect tor boi
ing a well for oil or gas, for which the
formation is thought tn be favorable,
or for artesian water' and who wished to
have some understanding with the city
in regard to a franchise for furnishing
water or gas if such enterprise should
prove successful, me council wore
adverse to taking any action as long as
there was nothing tangible to be offered,
bnt offered the assurance that any thing
ill that line offering pecuniary ntlvauliige
to the city would be favorably con
sidured,
The matter of obtaining a docket for
the use of the police judge was referred
for consideration to the judiciary com
mittee. Oil People Made Yuasg.
J. C. Sherman, the veteran editor of

to the Cape from a trip through the
two republics, and snya that for hun

pasta have been burned for fuel and
must be replaced with Iron posta, ow

The plowing tn progresa waa limited

there will still be a large market for

Meat and live atock will continue to

Lord Roberts ha appointed an ad

but tha right to do what at tho opening

a remarkable one for breaking tho re
cord in many strange things. Milwau
kee furnislios a man who married hia
mothor-in-law. She was just twice hit
ago. Minneapolis nearly matches this
with a man who married his step-daughter.
Chicago reports a man and woman
marrying after IS minutos acquaintance.

ia not surprising that more marriage
licenses woro Issued in tho month of
June In Chicago than over before in one
month 2160, or 75 per day. 8t. Louie
