Folk THE CITY FATHESS KKET. Thecity council held a meeting last night, the first since the 19th day of Auerust. The members present were Tikes, Tborason, Johnston anL ;Scott Iddings was out of town and Day. was probably ptkerwise engaged. The first business transacted was the granting of certificate of fire man's service to T. T. Keliher and R. A. McMurray. The Third ward hose company presented a r eport giving the names of the active members, of which there are twenty-four. Mayor Baker stated that he had driven over the city a day ortwo ago and found twenty crosswalks 1 1 t wuicn neeaea to oe Tepairea or replaced by new walks. The mar shal was instructed by the council to have this work performed. It was reported that there were many sidewalks in the city which were in a dangerous and disgrace ful condition, and it was the opin ion of the council that property owners neglecting to repair their walks should be promptly brought to time. The marshal will proba bly interview interested parties. Councilman Johnston, thought the time was ripe for the extension of the city limits, and made a mo tion that the city attorney be in structed to commence proceedings in enlarging the city limits accord ing to the survey made several years ago. The motion received but three votes, and was therefore lost. The matter will be brought up at a future meeting of the coun cil. The marshal presented a bill for killing thirty-four dogs, and this led some one to ask if the marshal was pursuing the tactics of the Omaha dog-catcher. Clerk Schar mann assured the council that the marshal was turning the scalps of j the slaughtered canines over to him and that the ground in the rear of his office resembled the back-yard of a tanning factory. The enforcement of the awning ordinance was thoroughly dis cussed, and it was decided to have the city attorney bring another ac tion against Judge Hinman.' TO WHOJIIT HAY CONCERN. It having been brought to our at tention that owing to the similari ty of the name assumed by a local organization of women who stvle themselves 'S. A. Douglas Circle, Ladies of the G. A. R., many per sons have been led to believe that said organization is an auxiliary of S. A. Douglas Post No. 69, G. A. R. We desire to inform the public that said organization has no connec tion whatever with S. A. Douglas Post No. 69, G. A. R., and their as sumption of the name of this Post for their organization was without the consent of the Post. The S. A. Douglas Women's Relief Corps is the only women's society that has authoritv to use the name ot this Past, or that is in any way connected therewith. A. M." Mason, Commander S. A.
