The city council met last evening in regular session, with a full hoard. Min utes of the previous meeting were read and approved. A petition was presented asking per lnitinion to the petitioners to work out their poll tax on Vine street between 14th and 15th. On motion of Mr. Mc Callcu seconded by Mr. Webber the pe tition was ordered granted. A petition was then presented asking that Herman Smidt be appointed super yisor of the sewer work about to be done. Mr. Greusel thought the city had enough men employed to get the work properly done, and Mr. Murphy proposed to call another bond election for the purpose of paying the officers. A motion granting the prayer of the petition was lost. The finance committee reported that they had agreed with the Journal com pany to pay only one half their bills until their indebtedness to the city on account of overpayment was settled. The fol- owing bills were allowed. Journal 21.75, M. N. Morgan ifoO, Lincoln Ben son tf'J.lO, i. iiumpnry r.K)-, uscar lurd $3.75, W. L. Bloven $1.50, J. H. Waterman $4.25, Knolts Bros $29.50. Wm.

The street commissioner's report for Vugust showed a payment of 147.55 for labor. The poliecc judge's report showed on- y ten prisoners as neiore mm lor Aug ust. One was dischargad, three were returned to jail for not being albe to pay their tines and six paid their fines and were discharged. The fines collected ammounted to 15. The report was re ferred to the police committee. The judiciary committee presented an ordinance extending the city limits to dee in the Vallery 40, Walker 40, Ridl ey 40 and other ground to the amniount of 180 acres. The ordinance was read the second and third times and passed under suspension of the rules. Mr. Dutton said some arrangement ouglit to tc maue oy which eiiuc-i ommissioncr could pay his men every week, as some of them were quitting him ecause they had to wait so long for their w . 41.-. 4.....4 ay. it was suggesieu uuit iuu oui-i-i commissioner pay lus men wun poii tax i i i .i 4-1.,,:,. money received uy mm auu iur-i; lulu warrants and draw the money and pay the poll tax money to the treasurer at one time but nothing definite was done. It was also suggested that the treasurer be instructed to honor the name of the . i i i a: commissioner witnout msi presenting the bill to the council for their approval, but the city attorney said the law would probably not uphold them in such a movement, and the question was dropped. Mr. Greusel moved that the committee ou fire and water be instructed to buy two water troughs to cost not over 50 each. Motion passed. The city engineer gave the estimated cost of graning Fairfield hill. 1 he cost to bring the sidewalks and rood to grade it 20cts per cubic yard was 2,240. A lively discussion then took place as to the acceptance of the South Tark prop erty and settled uponlaying of the water mains from 3rd street up Billings and Lincoln Ave. to the park. Mr. Murphy was strongly in favor of accepting the park and making the required im provements. He said the laying of the mains would give fire protection to the shops and a large number of residences. and best of all the city would have a nice park in town, which, in a few years could not be obtained at almost any price. Mr. Greusel said he was not interested in the park but was interested in protection for the shops, and moved the water com pany be authorized to lay mains past the chons 3200 feet. After a long discus sion it was decided to lay 2400 feet and l..wo pnmmittnfi Oil fire See if it Lia I J . l w x would pay to lay the extra 800 feet. The board of public works reported fViot nnreimnt to instructions thev had -.--- opened the bids for sewerage last Friday nnrl lpt the iob to Charles Harris of this mf citv, and that last evening Mr. naaris had given a written statement to the ef fect that he had miscalculated and could nnt fulfill liis contract. Oo motion of Mr, Greusel the report of the committee was referred back and they were request to report on the next two best bids this evening. "Mr. DnLton presented the following resalution which was adopted. Resolued, that the committee on streets, alleys and bridges be and they are hereby instructed to open bridges and grade the rio-ht of way given by the Plattsmouth Land & Improvement Co. for a street west from Maiden Lane to the scuth east corner of the fair gronnds to connect with the road opened by the county and timt. tho name, be nut in condition for travel by fair time. Mr. Haws, representing an Omaha Sioux Falls ranite firm, had circulated a peti tion yesterday which favored Sioux Falls granite. He said his company would o-ive a good bond and lay the pavement in thirty days after the letting of the contract. Cn motion of Mr. McLallen further consideratipn of the subject was left till this evening. The special ciminittee on printing re ported the contract for the city ordi nances awarded to Messrs Sherman fc Cutwright of the Journal. The report was accepted. The committee appointed to find out the pavement desired by the Main street property owners reported in favor of cedar blocks. But the committee failed to work in harmony and Mr. Murphy was the one who made the report. lie also had a letter from John Fitzgerald of Lincoln, btating that cedar block was bciug used quite extensively in Lincoln and recommended it for Plattsmouth. As the report was given at the consent of only one of the committee it was dropped. Mr. Jones complained that the road to his house was bad and he had about 21 in poll tax to work out on it but it wasn't enough. On motion of Mr. Hut ton 25 of the road fund was ordered drawn to aid the grading of the street which is 11th between Oak and Vine. Cass County Fair. The county fair will be heald at Plaits-' mouth, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, September 20. 21, 22 and 23 1.SS7. The premium list shows liberal offerings in every department, and every citizen of Cass couuty, and especially Plattsmoush, should take interest enough in the fair t o make it a grand success. The officers and secretary are doing ev erything in their power and they have assurances of good horses in the speed ing and guarantee five races during the wcok, which, together with the fireman's lose contest and the bicycle races will make that part of the fair especially at tractive, but while the speed ring is all right there are other departments that need help and our fair officers cannot do it alone. Our citizens must take hold willingly, as it will to say nothing of ldping the fair advertise every busi ness man of Plattsmouth, and repay hi in n increased business. Let every business man of Plattsmouth take hold of this matter and do his part toward making the fair the best ever held in Cass countv.

"You are accused of holding up a man at the depot, shoving a six shooter under his nose and making him give you 625," said a justice of the peace to a Dckota loan agent who had been brought before him. "Those are about the facts in the case," re plied the loan agent. "Then I shall ba obliged to hold you f or robbery." "Just let me explain how it was. You see he was leaving tho country the train was already in sight. I knew he had the 25 and there wasn't time to get it any other way. This business method may be slightly irregu lar, but the time was so aliort that it was the best I could do, and that's all there i3 about it. If I had known he was going sooner I Ehould have got him to sign a chattel mort gage, and then everything would have been tegular." "Well," replied tho judge, "if that's the case I suppose it's all right. Try and get the mortgage, though, when you can it's more business like." Dakota BelL Plants Peculiar to Certain Soils. Dr. R. W. Raymond lately called attention to the reputed connection between ct-rtain plants and tho metal3 in the underlying soil. Thus the zinc violet or Galmeiveilchen some times regarded as a distinct species under the name of Viola calamiuaria points cut the hills containing calamine, or zinc ore, in Rhenish Prussia and Belgium. Tho lead plant, Amorpha canescens, is believe-1 by American miners to grow only in localities containing galena, and Eriogonum ovalifo lium is probably destined to bo known in the west as the silver plant.
