favor of jfecognizing the Cuban in
surgents as belligerents. The peo

much interest- m -the -Cuban im
broglio, and the sympathy .is all
with the inhabitants of that island.
The Cubans would undoubtedly be
much better off could they throw
off the Spanish yoke. Later In
accordance with the above petition
Mayor Baker has called a mass
meeting at the court liouse tor X ri

be. a large attendance at this meet

J. W. Nugent, of .Maxwell, was
in town yesterday for the purpose
of looking up the financial stand
ing ot Zimmerman & Roath, of
Austin. 111., to whom he had shipped
two cars of hay and had not received
returns from the same. -The firm
had plenty of time to dispose of the
hav and send the. cash, hence Mr.
Nugeut's anxiety. ,
Yesterday morning John Herrod
who has successfully conducted
a large grocery business in this city
for several years, sold his stock to
Harrington & Tobin. For the pres
ent the purchasers will continue the
business at . the present location
with Mr. Herrod in charge. Nego
tiations are pending for the rental
of the Keith double store on Spruce
street, and if the deal is. consum
mated both the Herrod and H. &T.
stocks will be moved thereto. This
would make one of the largest re
tail crrocerv houses in the west.
Mr. Herrod, as above stated, will
act as manager of the store he re
cently sold for an indefinite time.
He has plans made for the future,
but until they are more fully devel
oped publicity will not be given
them. He entered the grocery bus
iness as a clerk for T. J. Foley
when but a boy and knows the trade
from A to Z. During his business
career he has been successful, his
courteous treatment of his patrons
winning him a large patronage.
This branching out on the part of
Harrington & Tobin is indicative
of the push of the active partner.
M. C. Harrington, and we predict
the move will orove a liififlilv suc
cessful one.

THE CITY COUNCIL.
All members of the city council
were present at the regular meet
ing held last evening. After
lengthy minutes of a previous ses
sion had been read and approved,
a communication trom the chief of,
'the fire department was presented
to the council. In this report the
chief stated that he had made an
examination of the fire alarm sys
tem and found that the boxes
needed cleaning and some minor re
pairs. When this work was com
pleted he would make a through
test of the system and make a full
report.' The council instructed the
street commissioner to straighten
up several poles along the line of
the system.
Messrs. Day and VonGoetz asked
permission of the council to put in,
at their expense, a walk across
Spruce street opposite the Otten
steiu block. The council granted
the permission conditioned that the
walk be properly laid and kept in
repair by the above gentlemen.
The contract between the city
andtheGutta Percha Co. for 750
feet of fire hose was signed by the
mayor and clerk. This hose is to
be paid by a warrant issued on the
1.6 levy and drawn July 1st or
15th, 1896. Thomson objected to
the contraqt being signed but his
objection was overruled.
Bills werd approved as follows:
Saml. Adams, making coal bins for
hose houses $6.10; Jos. Murphy
work on streets, 9.00; Wm. Rowland
work on streets, 18:00; Pat Roddy,
work on streets, 18.75; Peter Chead
ell, work on streets, 9.75.
Fikes moved that the city attor
ney be instructed to draft an ordin
ance providing that all saloons close
at twelve o'clock at night 365 days
in the year. The object in this was
to prevent Toung men from having
a loating place at hours when they
should be at home. A member said
that some of the cigar and confec
tionery stores -and billiard halls
kept open until the wee small hours
of the morning and suggested that
they be included in the ordinance
with the saloons. This suggestion
was embodied in the motion, and
the latter carried by a vote of fiw
to one, Day voting in the negative.
The attorney will prepare the ordi
nance and probably present it at
the next meeting of the council. It
will probabl' meet with some op
position when up for passage.
There is a question as to whether
the council has the right to regulate
the closing of any -business other
than a-saloon.
And then the councilmen slipped
on their overcoats and went straight
to their respective fire-sides.
