The absence of foul stench from
alleys in the city is not due to the clean

alleys but it disappeared with the evap
oration of the moisture.

letters from a half dozen eastern finan
cial institutions saying that as soon as
congress, one way or the other, settles
the present financial controversy they

"bids just at present, but they deem that
prices they might offer would not be
considered by the council. The man
agers of these institutions expressed the
belief that within .sixty days the finan
cial situation would be sufficiently set
tied to warrant them in making bids
which would prove satisfactory to the
council.

Undoubtedly, in popular estimation, the
chief attraction of Mr. Washburn's
raonagerie lies in "Cupid," the little baby

three months old, and weighs two
hundred pounds. Cupid is the most
gentle and tiniest of elephants, and is
never so pleased as when a crowc'
gathers around him, when he at once
begins poking his trunk in all directions
for dainties. The visitors give him
cakes, candy, apples and fruit at an aver
age of two bushels per day and he can
digest anything but nails and quids of
tobacco, of the latter of which he iB very
wary. As staple food, ho eats potatoes,
hav and bran. He has a constant at-

There is also a special groom for his

valuable an .addition to his already ex

The Tribune favored selling the
refuse lumber belongiug to the city be
cause it was business to do so. The
reference to "chronic kickers" was. ap
plied to no one in particular. For years
past when a councilman has stated that
certain complaints had been made to
him, some other councilman would im
mediately say something about "chronic
kickers," and in this way the- term has
become a general one in the council.
It refers to no one in particular, but in
general to all thoso who complain of tho
work performed or which should be and
is not performed by the council.

A perusal of the records of the -county
judge show that on tho 21th day of June,
1893, George Schmid was married to
Carrie H. Minnich, Judge Ray perform
ing the ceremony and Tim T. Eeliher
and Will Sweet serving in the capacity
of witnesses. The Judge noticed no
reluctance on the part of Miss Minnich
to become a bride prior to or during tlid
ceremony, but Mr. Keliher thought she
did not appear as happy as a girl should
when in the act of being married

however, and the Judge reached ou
his hand to congratulate the bride,
she made the remark that she
did not know whether she wanted to be
congratulated. This was only taken by
the Judge and witnesses as a little dis
play of modesty or prudishnoss. Both
Schmid and his bride were of legal mar
riageable age, and the refusal of the
latter to live with her husband is prob
able due to unconjugal affection, and
not to tne intimation that she was
hypnotized by Schmid and married
while under his influence.

rains have again been quite general
throughout the state during the last
seven days. Corn, as a rule, shows
further improvement and, with few ex
ceptions, reports indicate that a large
yield may be expected. Reports are
generally unfavorable concerning the
