ALL PRESENT
All Future Meetings Will be Hold
in Millers Hall
Tim oily council met Inst night
with every member present and tho
innyor in tho chair. Thoy met in
Miller's hall which iii future
will 1)0 their regular mooting place.
The hall has been divided into sev-
eral rooms and the southeast corner
room is tho onu that tho council lms
ranted. They have had a large
tabic about l)xr made for their u-e
and when they wore all assembled
around it they looked like business
and they meant business.
One ordinance was passed relative
to poll tax and work on streets and
alloys. A great many important
questions wore discussed especially
tho questions of sidewalks and street
grades.
City Attorney llardeastle read
selections from tho statutes and ses-
sion acts showing that at this stago
of tho cities formation it was possible
to make a special levy against prop-
er' v owners for tho purpose of con-
structing feltfowalks. This is of
vital importance to the present citi-
zens of Anadarki) for by making
this special levy at this time the
owner of every lot whether ho 1m? a
speculatie- or a resident citizen
will have to bear his equal share in
tho construction of tho citv walks.
However before these walks are
built tho street grades will have to
be run so that the walks can conform
to the established grades. A com-
petent city engineer will run these
grades at once and make profiles of
the streets. These grades will bo
established so as to drain away all
thostuface water in the city. If these
matters are properly attended to it
will insure the erection of all build-
ings on a universal grade and will
do away with the necessity of dam-
age suits in tho future. Bv a reso
lution the council decided to extend
an invitation to the public to meet
with them next Monday night for
tho purpose of discussidg the spec-
ial levy referred to and also the
mo 10 important question of proper
sanitation. Kvcry interested citi-
zen should accept this invitation
and come to tho council chamber
next Monday evening.

most a miniature bargain counter of
a department store. Uefore it was
displayed a nondescript collection
of kitchen utensils and tools in all
degrees of usclessnoss each bearing a
largo placard that it was a grot
bargain at stcon cents. On Rides

The average reader is familiar
with American school boy composi-
tions but samples of tho ISuglish
variety are scarce Hero aro soma
recently given in an ISuglish publi-
cation: Asked to explain the cause
of the Transvaal disturbances a boy
of ten wrote this "Ivrugar and
KauncrhuliHiii is one. He is a man
of bind. Mr. Chainberliiighas wrote
to him say in' come t .t and lite or
else give up the bind of the ISuglish
you have took. He is a hoardutoh-
mau and a wicked heethiu. Lord
Kitchener has sent for his gory bind
and to bring back hisscanderlus lied
ded or alive." And another boy's
essay describes Mr. Gladstone as
having "lovd everybody. Ho lovd
publicans ond chillers and irishmen
lie wanted the Irish to come to lSng-
land and have home rool but Mr.
Chamberlain says no no. so alara
got his bind up and killed Mr. Far-
nol. Mr. Gladstone died with great
rispect and is buried in Westmin-
ister with piecoful ashes." Com-
pared with theso versions of modern
history the following on Queen
lSlizaboth is faithful: "Queou
ISlizabcth was a vnrgin queon and
she was never married. She was ho
fond of dressoH that she was ncvor
seen withoutono on she was beauto-
f nil and clover with a red head and
