Have paid out during tbe year just closed $1082.08, toward installing city water system. This, for spring, sur veys, plans anil develop work. After considering these statements it will be apparent to any one why no more improvements have been made on streets during the past year ; the license fund bad all been expend ed on streets and other improvements than the aniouut of $1208.00 refunded to saloon keepers bad to be takou from the fund rained by taxation, thus leaving the city witohut money to make uocessary improvements. And aguiu this year on acoouut of the heavy expense necessary to install tbe sewer syutem the city council thought it wise to make the tax levy as low as possible, therefore wo will have only enough to barely pay In debteiluess, leaving nothing for im provements during the ensuing year, under these conditions the most rigid economy will be necessary to keep within the limit of authorized indebt edness, hence I have but few reo onimeudations to m'tke, but will reo ommond that the hoalth committee insist on the cleaning up of back yards; the committee on police see' that all obstructions are kept out ot all streuta and that all laws bo strictly enforced ; that the committee on streets sue that all moneys appropriat ed for street improvements be judi ciously and economically expended; that tbe judiolary committee at their earliest couvenleuoe prepare an or dinance providing for the manaer in which sewer connections by individ uals shall be made; that the committee on lire aud water see that all laws and rules governing the building of chim neys on nil houses and the erecting of fire proof buildings within tire limits be strictly enforced, So long as 1 am Mayor I shall try to havo (all the improvements made that can do wiiii tne minis provided, but will not during my term consent to plunging the city into debt.

The worn-out stomach of the over-ted millionaire is often paraded iu the pub lie prints as a horrible example of the evils attendant on the possesion of great wealth.

Borne few years ago ft man whom I know bought an estate near a town of some size, aud Immediately on bis talc ing possession was surprised to find that be bad also taken on a Strang responsibility. At the side of the road before bis place was a gigantic peepul tree, such as the natives believe become the residents of departed spirits In great numbers. This is a Mohammedan as well as a Brahman superstition. The tree wag in charge of a rascally old faktr, who was systematically ex torting a fine revenue from tbe people of the community by various devices, principally ventrlloqulal conversations of departed ones with their friends. He bad a hut at the baso of the tree. The protruding limbs almost blocked the roadway and were a great nui sance, and the nightly noises about the fakir's hat were a great annoyance to the new owner of the property. He stoad It as long as be could, and whea one day another fakir, who was also a ventriloquist and bad a highly trained monkey, came by he promised him handsome fee to rid him of the faklt of tbe tree. As long as tbe fakir was there to prophesy what dreadful things would happen If one branch of tbe tree was cut or broken any attempt to clear tbe readway would mean a na tive revolt " The second fakir secretly watched the operations of tbe first for a day or two and discovered that the worship ers who came brought gifts of food, money and jewels to lay before thi peer of the tree, the spirit In charge ot their friends' spirits. The worsbiperl wore then sent to the river to wash in a certain way by the old fakir and hi returned to the seclusion of his hut. When the worshipers returned they found him still In tbe but, but the gifts were all gone, consumed by the peei of the tree, the fakir said. As a mat ter of fact he had stolen out and got them meanwhile. Tbe second fakir ascended into tb tree the third day and posted tbe monkey, so that tie Instant the old fakir's back wa turned the monkey conld swing by his tail and gather up all the gifts. This was done many times till the old fakir was completely mystified and nearly frantic over lils losses. Having secured a large -quantity of booty, tfce second fuklr tool, tbe next step In his plan. lie sent the monkey aloft on a btr.nch of the tree that wn.i in plain sight, and when a company of wealthy nnd influential worshipers gathered to converse with, their dead the rocond fakir, by hit Ventriloquism, ti ide bis monkey do bounce tbe old fakir, making him a laughing stock before the people. Tut old man flew into a rage, which was a certain sign that he was not holy, and at that moment tbe owner ot the place appeared with an ax to clear away the limbs. The old fakir told him the peer would strike him dead If he touched a twig, but the house owner broke off a handful, and when he was not killed and returned to the people hundreds of rupees' worth of gifts they had given the old fuklr, the people drove the old man from the district and allowed the bouse owner to do ns be pleased with the peepul tree regard less of the number of ancestor of theirs which be gleefully and with painstaking care chopped up into pita each time ho trimmed It-Metropolitan Magazine. k4j Scientific America!
