The city council held its regular meet' in last Thursday evening, Mayor Krera or presiding. Councllmen Kuykendall and U'hkopf and City Attorney Maybee were absent. A petition to raise the salary of the city treasurer to 12.60 uer month was read and discussed. On motion by Jen nine's the petition was accepted. Voting yes" ; rier, Jennings, Williams, Lewis Smith. Voting "no": tlood, Councilman Williams raised the ones tion as to whether or not the mayor was entitled to cast a deciding vote in mat' lers hko that of raising the salary of city otlicers, the question of raisin the marshal's salary having come to a tie vole at the previous meeting, and been decided by the mayor's vote. Ou et anuning the charter, it was found that the mayor was entitled to cast tho de ciding vote on all questions except the p..ssago ot ordinances, but it was also discovered that the salaries of city offi eers are to be fixed by ordinances. job sireei com ui l ure submitted an estimate from D. C. Pilxer as to the cost of replacing the bridge across Gilbert creek on Munxuuita avenue. The cost was estimated at (105. On the further inloriiiutiou that the iojd now runs on pnvaie property mm inai a slough in the street would necessitate the building of a longer andmore exp:n.-iv bridge if the lots should bu fenced, it was de cided that the matter be. laid on the table. In regard to placing the four addi tional hydrants to which the city is entitled by the terms ol its contract with the water company, it was decided to leave the matter with the fire and water committee to place a hydrant in each ward. aueuuon was caneu 10 a light on Fifth street, out on the commons, where it was tupposably of little benefit and it was suggested Hint it be moved, but no definite action was taken. It was also noted Unit no light had yet been placed at the bridge on C street. Tho saloon bunds of Kugene Kienlen, .1. i.empse ami tjoDiirn A Crowe were presented, accepted and the licenses or dered issued. A repoit, as is now required monthly by the charter, was submitted by the auditor aud police judge. the prevalence of gambling iu the city and the wide open conduct of stud poker games, slot machines and other gambling devices, wag brought before the council. Ou motion bv Frier, the marshal was instructed to enforce the ordinance against gambling. Voflnu yes"; Frier, Hood, Williams, Jennings. I.o wis. Voting "No" Smith. F. K. Johnson was present and sub mitted a proposition lo excludo the south half of block 48, on the north sile of II street between Fourth and Fifth, from the fire limits. The matter was discussed at some length and seemed to meet with generul disfavor by the council. On the motion being submitted, it was defeated. Frier produced the sensation of the evening by producing a rifle bullet, about a 38-15, which had been eiiot in. to a residence, by a boy who was shoot ing birds in Lincoln Park. The serious ness of this case made It ovident that a sinner enforcement of tbe ordinance against the use of lire arms within the city limits was necessary. No complaint having been lodged against the offender in this case, no measures wore taken in regard to it. Advertised Letter List.

A gentleman who was in the neigh borhood of Junction City relates that his attention was attracted by the fine appearance of a thirty-anre fluid of wlifat. It was beyond doubt tho finest grain ho had seen this year and he in quired into the cause of its flourishing I omlitioti. lie was iniormed tb.t the farmer had experimented with lime, using it in place of vitriol in order to insure his crop against smut. He used tbe lime liberully, knowing that his laud needed lime anyway, provided that the effect on the grain was not all he hoped for. A the tame time he uaed vitriol on an adjoining Held and there was a marked difference. It is stated that lime is much cheaper than vitriol and serves the double purpose of insuring grain against smut as well as enriching the toil. t'orvaliis (iazelte.
