An economical stroke -bit tho city council nv-nin Tuesday nighl,'and hereafter thbVity Vircmetrwilt have to pay for their own soap mid towels. I he city has been footing this lull for years, but no more will it pav for keeping the face and hands of its ervnnt clean. The saving effected insures n lower tax levy. The reaction from the above spasm of.tlirifliiicss found n vent in the proposition of Fire Chief l.nwtou to purchase a small fire auto to save the wear and tear on the big truck, in going to incoiiscipiential fires. The fire chief said it would add to the days of the big truck and be highly profitable to the city in the long run. run. The proHsition found u res. pons'tve chord, nnd will be definitely decided uniii nt the special meeting of the council Friday evening. A bill for $1-10 for overtime was presented to the city council last night by Water Superintendent Tran im, as a final chapter in the "fiver.e out" tactics adopted by that honor able body to dispense with his ser vices. The bill according- to City Attorney McCabe is legal, mid col lectable under the slate law, that provides for double pay for over time, only Mr. Trmiua did not n.k for double time, just extra time. Un less the city see-, fit to pav the bill. ii lawsuit will be filed for its collec tion. City Attornev McCabe advised its payment, upon these grounds.

The government will contend thnt the crlino was premeditated. Tho taking of testimony began this morning, tho wife and son of tho murdered man testifying. Tho evi dence of tho wife, Isabella lleall, wns given through tho interpreter, Thos. Unrkdull. She testified regarding tho quarrel, and the landing of tho fatal blow with tho horseshoe. Tho son, Thomas Reall, corroborated tho testi mony of his mother. It developed from tho testimony that Smith, tho defendant, with a number of Indians had been stopping at tho Dealt homo for a month or so, and thnt tho argumont thnt resulted In the fatal row, whb born of tho ac cusation that Smith had been drink ing, lleall, tho witnesses said, was admonishing Smith for his uso of in toxicants.
