had approved and signed the ordinances

that nnilcr thocitycliarlernosiich licenses
, could bo issued legally. IIo believed tliat
it was the bust thing that could bo dona
, to license these agencies , ami would use
bis efforts to have the legislature give the
city authority to do so at its next session.
.City Attorney Council also stated that
the city was not empowered to license
these agencies under the charter. The

tained.

"There is one item , " said Mr. Furay ,
"which 1 want to inquire into. It is the
,0110 which makes a six months back
salary grab for the board of public works. "
The item referred to was the claim of the
chairman of the board of publio works
for salary of n clerk for the past
8ix months , amounting to $310. This
claim was based on a resolution passed
lit a former meeting of the council em
powering Chairman House to employ a
clerk at a salary of $05 a month. Mr.
Furay said that when the resolution was
passed it was not understood that ho waste
to have pay for clerical work already
done.

understood that Mr. House was to be pai'd
for back clerical work.
Mr. Fnray denied that it was so under
stood , and declared that the claim was in
the nature of a "congressional steal"
and ho would vote against it.
Mr , Dailoy said tiiat the discussion of
the resolution when it was passed was
thoroughly understood , so ho believed ,
and in his opinion Mr. House was entitled
to the money.

stricken from the ordinance , but tlio
motion was lost by a vote of 4 to ! J.
Till' JUNKETING ArntOl'IilATION1.

stricken from the ordinance.
"What are you going to do about it ? "
exclaimed Mr. Hailoy. "Tho money has
been paid , the boys have spent it and
four conncilmon are hnlpiii' , ' thorn. "
"Well. I suppose that settles it , " re
plied Mr. Dailoy ; "wo can't got the
money back. I now nmlerstand
that those who wont on tlio
excursion are not connected with
, the tire department , but are a gang of
5 , snorts and rounders. It has been said
% that the mayor will notsign tlioordlnancc ,
ytind I think wo hud bettor wlmck up nnd
. Jims settle the matter. Some of the
, oouncilmon have evidently imposed on
, other coiimiilmun , "
Mr. Thrano said that if the council had
. done wrong they might help to right
matters by taking the amount out of their
own pockets.
The roll was then called on the motion

yield is bound to bo heavy.
Interested parties are now planning to
introduce a process of washing out gold
from the bnukc river sands , ' which lias
just been introduced into this country
from Siberia , whore it has boon used for
many years. If it is successful and 1
have no doubt but what it will bo it will
bo a great thingin the way of developing
those llmls. Until I know the result or
the experiments with this new process , I
don't care to say much about these gold

It has transpired that the Union Pacific
will immediately begin the erection ut
Laramie of sovnrul buildings to bo used
for preserving tics by what is known ns
the zinc-tannin process. Mr. J. M. Card ,
who is really the owner of the process , is
now in that city with the plans and spe
cifications. Besides tliobuildions for the
storage of material , there will bo one in
wliien will bo placed two , and
perhaps throe , iron cylinders
Each cylinder is six foot in diameter and
111 feet in length. An iron track runs
through these cylinders , anil curs built on
a two-foot gauge are run in loaded with
ties , iron doors close up the ends and tlio
work of treating tlio tics begins. Each
cylinder will treat 400 ties ut one time
und make three runs u day , so that
about 2,000 ties per day will bo
turned out with two cylinders. The
works will give employment to forty
laborers , und will bo in operation by the
lirst of May , the frames being now under
preparation at St. Louis.

is claimed to keep the pine wood from
decaying , though not from suffering tlio
wear und tear to which soft wood is liable.

And lust night ho drove my mother out
into the streets. "

asked the judgo. musingly.
"Yes , my mother his mother-in-law ! "
Judge Stcnbcrg proceeded to make
out the warrant , saying to himself , sotto

Perhaps the man is not responsible. "

plained that tlio cause of nil his married
troubles was his mother-in-law. This did
not { surprise his honor , who was pre
pared for Just that statement. When

peranco is n good avery good tiling , " ho
said , "but a reformed man must Iiavo
supreme help to fully ovurcoinu the temp
tation of drink. I have boon ton yours a
drunkard and sporting man , and have
helped to draw men , womnn and children
down in this city ; now Christ has sent
mo hero to toll the joyful news of his
Jqvo to mo in my redemption , and to in
vite all to accept of it. Tlio boys go out
to have a good time and got drunk. They
enjoy it at the time , but many times havu
I hoard them when alone cry for some
thing hotter , There is no ploasnro in a
sporting life. Though the gambler may
appear satisfied , ho liovoivis , and it Is the
samu witii others. All know this , and yet
thuygo on , and why ? Ilccauso many
times they are young men away from
homu inllnencos and linil none to help
them to bo bolter. I havo. been that way ;
ran away from homo , got into bad com
pany , drove my poor wife to the grave ;
my children were taken frominoandl was
