The presentation of a gold head

the retiring presidpnt of the coun

and city officials , was a well deserved
compliment , as Mr. Dwyer has been
rno of the beat presiding officers that
the council has ever had. He is a
Democrat , and was elected president
by Republican votea The action of
iio old council , in which the Republi
cans had a majority , in electing a
Democratic president and clerk , was
in strong contrast with the course of
the new council , which is composed
mostly of Democrats , in gobbling eve
rything , and not giving the Hepubli-
cans a fair show.

OLD AND NEW ,
The Old City Council Step
Out.
Oaganization of the New
Council.
The council chamber Tuesday night
was crowded by citizens who came to
witness the reorganization of the city
; ouncil.
The old council held their last sea-
Ion , the following members being
resent : Bankes , Cunningham , Dodge ,
> ray , Redman , Shannon , Slaven , Taf t ,
and President Dwyer.j
After the transaction of some minor
business , such as laying over several
matters for the action of their success-
rs , hearing the reports of committees ,
etc. , the council took a recess to allow
; he clerk an opportunity to prepare
his journal.
Upon being called to order the jour
nal was read and amended so as to in
clude the following :
Resolved , That the thanks of the
council are hereby tendered to Hon.
W. M. Dwyer , who has faithfully and
"tnpartially discharged the duties of
this council during the past year.
Resolved , That the clerk be directed
to furnish a copy of this resolution to
Hon. W. M. Dwyer , and also that the
same be spread upon the records.
Mr. Hascall then presented to Mr.
Dwyer a handsome goldheaded cane
( purchased from Max Meyer & Bros. )
in behalf ot the city council. Mr.
Hascall made a brief presentation
speech , to Mr. Dwyer responded , re
turning his heartfelt thanks for the
token of esteem and friendship.
The old council then adjourned
sine die.
The names of the newly elected
councilman were then read by the
clerk , and Councilman Jones was
elected temporary chairman.
The newly elected councilmen took
the oath of office which was adminis
tered by Judge Auderson.
Councilman Stephenson said that
he had been requested to read to the
council a telegram and letter , against
one ] of the city officials before he was
sworn in.
Councilman Hascall opposed any
such proceeding , and expressed his
opinion that it was the duty of the
council to hare the newly elected offi
cers sworn in.
Councilman Shannon said the Dem
ocratic caucus had refused to have
anything to do with the matter , and
he intimated that a defeated candidate
for the office of city marshal would do
well to keep quiet and run for the of
fice again.
Mayor Chase , Judge Hawes anc
Marshal Westerdahl were then sworn
in , Treasurer Mallette being absent.
The election of the president was
the aext thing in order. The balloi
resulted as follows : J. D. Jones , 8

On motion the election of Mr. Jones
was declared unanimous. Mr. J Jones
returned his thanks for the honor con
ferred upou him.
Mr. Shannon moved that a com
mittee of three be appointed to report
on standing committees. All voted in
the affirmative. At this point , the
President took the oath of office.
Messrs. Shannon , Hascall anc
Stephenson'were sppointed a commit
tee to report on the standing com
mittees.
A recess of ten minutes was then
taken and the .committee retired to
the clerk's office to make up the com
mittees.
On its return , Mr. Shannon report
ed that they had twelve committees to
report , instead of eleven , having
thought it proper to add a committee
on sewerage. The following commit

Mr. Redman inquired what this
taking the appointments out of the
hands of the President meant , ane
was informed that they were namcc
by a committee of the council at the
President's request. The committees
were then confirmed on motion of Mr.
Hascall ; a motion also being adoptee
that a rule be drawn up to correspond
with the action'of the committee.
The bonds of the city officials who
had taken the oath of office were reac
and approved , the most important
being that of the Mayor for § 20,000.

THE EISING EIVEE.
It is Higher Then Yesterday ,
and Still Looming Up.
The rise of the.Missouri river is be
ing watched with considerable inter *
est by the Union Pacific officials , the
Smelting Works Company , the lum
bermen , and citizens generally. The
water rose several inchessince Monday
night , and is still rising. It is now
about as high as it was at any time
last'year. The stream has widened
to an immense body , covering the low
lands on each side , and in the main
channel the current rushes rapidly on
ward. Yesterday the strong south
wind broke the stream into rough
chopping waves from two to three , feet
high.
high.The
The water on the bottoms north of
the Smelting Work and inside the
ripr-rap is ab'out two feet higher than
the river and hence it is flooding the
buildings , and the probability is that
most of the works will have to shut
down until the water subsides. Last
year the works stopped for about two
weeks on account of high water.
The main force of the current strikes
against the rip-r'p at the Smelting
Works , but this rip-rap , which is built
of the slag obtained from the ores ,
which is heavier than stone , is proving
an excellnnt barrier. As yet the whole
line of stone rip-rap holds the water
in check. That portion built by the
Union Pacific company is much more
solid and efficient than the portion
built by the government fsom the
Smelting Works north to the steam
pump. This latter section seems to
be rather weak , and if the current
should strike it fair and square , we
don't think it would' last
twenty-four hours. It is a
high grade of loose sand , hastily
thrown up , and on the side facing the
river it is lined with loose broken
stone , to the thickness of about eigh
teen inches. The back-water on the
inside of the rip-rap is washing away
the loose earth quite rapidly.
There is an immense quantity of
driftwood floating down the river ,
and hundreds of men are engaged in
pulling it ashore.
